PROPAGANDA lN LONDON

London. May 5.-A remarkable and mys-
FERROUS attempt to influence public opin-
ion in London. through circulars dis
tributed in the streets during the busiest
hours, began last tvening. While the
theaters were emptying. many men were
employed in handing dodgers OF yellow
paper, with large headlines reading;
why the United States is making war
upon Spain"
Under this heading were extracts from
the remarks recently made by Edward ].
Phelps, former United States minister 20
Great Britain. and who from legal
standpoint expressed the opinion that the
United States was not justified in going
TO war with Spain. These extracts were
accompanied by quotations from alleged
pro-spanish newspapers printed in Amer
Tea and pro-Spanish papers published in
Great Britain.
Up to the present il has been impossible
to ascertain who is financiering this
street propa gands.

SPAIN'S DEADLY PARALLEL

Madrid, May Sill a. m.-The impartial
today, commenting upon the speech which
the Marquis of Salisbury delivered yester-
day at the annual meeting OF the Prim-

"His bitter words vii larouss the in

Salisbury voiced the theory that might
is right One may extend parallel of
powerful and weak nations in the follow
ing manner:
There are constituencies nations which
employ ironclads as the bandit uses the
knife. There are nations which sacrifice
their aspirations to justice and pride of
race. The strong powers must beware
Of the despair of those they desire to de-
spoil These powers are preparing ter

is solemnly proclaimed that robbery is

OBJECTION TO BONDS
Republican Senators Hope to Convert
Democratic Onnoaers.

Democratic Opposers.
Washington, May 4.-The senate COM
mittee on finance which was in session
the greater part of the day, devoted itself
principally to a discussion of the bond
provision Of the war revenue bill.
The Democrats commended that he fea-
ture could and should be dispensed with,
while the Republicans held that a bond
issue was necessary to carry on the war.
The Democrats will formally suggest
some substitute proposition within day
or two. Whether their plan will meet
success IN committee will depend upon the
vote Of Senator Jones, of Nevada, who
holds the balance of power. The Demo-
Gratis feel confident that they will have
his vote, but the Republicans do not con-
cede this. They say. however, that If
the bond provision is stricken out in com
mittee it will be restored in the senate
and they appeal TO the Democrats to al
low the bill to be reported without its
elimination, on the ground that it affords
the only feasible means of raising imme-
date funds for the prosecution of the
war The members of rhe committee do
not expect to conclude their work before
the end of the week.
