Shall We Annex spain

But there is a contingency TO think
of in case we pitch into Spain at
home. Shall We have to annex
Spain? II we must annex the Phil
ippines, why not go SO much further?
1t would not be a new experience for
Spain. 1t has, in fact, been a fro
quent feature of its history. Charles
V annexed it TO Germany and Napo-
leon annexed it to the Bonaparte
family, II not to France. Before the
Christian expulsion Of the Moors 1t
never had an Independent history.
Spain could stand it. Ferdinand and
Isabella, Philip ii, Alva and Margaret
of Parma might object. but they are
dead. Don Carlos would 10 doubt
object as much as the pathetic queen
regent and her boy. But, after all.
why should we care? Let us annex

A SAUCY FRENCHMAN
Tries to Run His Gunboat Into GUAM
tanamO HarbOr-ShOts From the
Marblehead Stop Her.

Copyright by Associated Press.)
Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
July IA French gunboat of about
1000 tons displacement, attempted to
come into the harbor about dusk to-
night without permission and met with
a surprise party. The cruiser Marble
head fired a blank shot as the gum
a came into the entrance to the
haror, but no attention was paid to
this and a shot from a 6-pounder was
sent across her bows. This, too, was
disregarded, the gunboat coming along
under Ull steam.
For a few minutes it looked as if a
row was possible. The trumpets on
the Marblehead rang out a call to
quarters and another shot was sent
across the French ~gunboats bows,
this time in uncomfortable proximity.
That warning was sufficient, however,
and the Frenchman stopped with ex-
treme suddennesS.
The captain Of the French gunboat
was either in ignorance of the Amer
lean occupation or chose to disregard
it until forcibly reminded of the fact
by Commander McCalla. The gunboat
was allowed to anchor in the lower
harbor for the night.

Arrested for EmbezZIement

Tampa, Fla, July IA ripple of
excitment was caused here this after
noon when Police Captain Jones ar
rested Charles G.. French for the en-
bezzlement of $3.50, 900 from the Mer-
chants and Traders Building and
Loan Association, Of which organiza-
ton he was secretary up TO last fall,
at which time he was out in Denver
where he was appraised of an indict-
ment being found against him. He
Immediately fed to Florida apd locat-
ed at Crescent City, where he spent
the winter. He has not been here
long, but about a month ago he pur-
chased the Ybor City bakery and con-
fectiOnery business. When Jones ar
rested him he hung his head and
al ked for what. The warrant cited
the embezzlement as only $4,000
When it was read to him, French ap-
peared surprised and denied being an
embezzler, but admitted owing the
association that amount. At that
juncture Detective Walter s. Deve.
reaux, who had been shadowine
French for some time, stepped up and
tie prisoner saw that further denia
was useless. He has decided to re
turn to Chicago without requisitior
papers. They will leave tomorrow.

Berlin, July 1a-The Cologne Zeit-
ing denounces the story of the Ger
mar warsn.:p Irene's interference at
Subig bay, island of Luzon, the Phil
;ppines, as a fabricatioc.
The Lokalanzeiger says the Ameri-
cans are unreasonably excited about
the Irene incident. Even if it oc-

the Irene did not interfere but retired
Immediately upon the arrival of the

tesy vas shown that the Americans
could ask of a neutral country. But,
If the Irene did hinder Aguinaldo's
landing, it is no business Of Dewey's.
If the American admiral sees fit To
make common with the insur
gent chiefs, it is non of our affairs.
Germany still preserves her neutral
ity towards Spain and does not intend
to recognize Aguinaldo and his horde
as belligerents. The matter is SO
plain that we do not believe n dip
lomatic step will be taken and do not
doubt for a moment that the American
officials will admit the correctness OF
the German proceedings"
The foregoing is believed to be in
spired.
London, July 15.-The Daily Mail
Hong Kong correspondent cables that
cit is now known here that Admiral
Dewey requested the correspondents
at Manila not to give the full story of
the Irene incident for fear Of arousing
feeling in Ameri "a which might lead
to complications with Germany"
When the full details become known,
it will be seen that the incident was
more serious than it first appeared to
be. AS soon as the American ships
came On the scene of action in Subig
bay, the Irene slipped her cable, leav-
ing her anchor in the bay. American
Consul Wildman refuses to say more
than this, taking the same line of
policy as Admiral Dewey.
1t is believed by those who know
Admiral Dewey hat on the arrival Of
the Monitors Monterey and Monad-
mock, he will insist upon his harbor
regulations being carried out to the
letter. The opinion among the for
eigners at anil is that the Ameri-
cans will never forgive the Germans
for their meddlesome attitude in the
Philippines. 1t will not only hurt
German trade with America, but will
also effectually destroy all of Ger
many's chances of having any say or
influence in the disposal of the Phil
ippines if they should become Ameri-
can property.
The Tagelblatt's Madrid c%orrespon-
dent says Sagasta has declared that
he is now convinced that the Ameri-
cans would be defeated by the land
forces in Cuba and that the Americans
knew this themselves, but since Spain
no longer has a feet the Americans
could starve the island without sub
jecting themselves to exposure Of the

ed to bring about peace as soon as
possible.
