In the absence of further news, the
speculations of the London papers turn
to the coming invasion of Cuba.

There are persistent reports in diplomatic
circles, especially in London, that peace
is not far distant, and that both Spain
and America are both anxious for IT,
on the contrary It. is said on good au-

sued even for mediation, while the Powers,
retaining an unpleasant remembrance of
the rebuff to their former efforts at Wash

Washington, June G.-Lieut Carranza
and Senior Dubosc, who are conducting
their Spanish operations from Montreal,
have succeeded in obtaining brief respite
from expulsion through the denial by
Iiuet. Carranza of the accuracy of certain
features of the letter attributed to him.
The British authorities acted on the as
sumption that the translation Of the Car
ranza letter was correct and that thus
there was no doubt that the Spanish Of
fcials were using Canada as a base for
hostile action against the United States
But since a question is raised as to the
accuracy of the translation no step is like
" to be taken toward a forcible expulsion
until the translation is established as cor
rect.
The Carranza denial raises a question Of
veracity which can be readily settled by
the production of the original letter This
is understood to be in the hands of the Sc
cret service branch Of the treasury.
when the accuracy Of the translation is
established the British authorities will act
promptly.

the contract stipulated that at least five

works hardship on General SKATER

been removed.
