Senior Polo's action in seeking refuge in
Canada may be strictly within the limits of
International propriety. but it does not
strike the average American at all digni-
red He is at present practically MAIN
tanning. on the soil of a technically neutral
and actually friendly power a diplomatic
establishment in all respects similar to that
which he maintained for a brief period in
this city. Although he has severed rela-
tons with the United States at the COM
mand of his government. turning over the
affairs of the legation to the Austrian and
French diplomatic representatives here. he
has surrounded himself at Toronto with his
aides, civil and naval, and has begun to
transact business of a strictly diplomatic
nature. There is a suggestion that he
claims to have power to act on any portion
of the soil of this continent as consul
general. He has not yet received any
recognition as such by Great Britain or by
Canada. He can. of course. have no status
in Canada save as consular officer. The
practical effect of such course Polo is
now pursuing is to create close to our
borders thoroughly organized Spanish
agency for the manipulation of spies and
such other emissaries as the government at
Madrid may choose to send forth on their
perilous errands, a sort military Informal
ton bureau for the benefit of Spain. If
this sort of business is long continued it
will be the duty of this country to protest
to Great Britain against the continued
presence of this official and his suite in
Canada. AS an individual, of course, he
has a perfect right to remain in any neu-
trail country he may select, but he must
adjust his actions to the requirements OF
neutral. Minister Woodford has not only
left Spain, but has prepared to leave Eu-
rope to return home. He has not sought to
create any anti-Spanish sentiment close to
her borders, has maintained silence and is
making appropriate haste to seek his own
soil. Polo has lost no opportunity to revile
this country. His latest outpouring con-
tains the charge that Woodford's train was
not attacked as it left Spain while his was
stoned and mobbed at both Harrisburg and
Rochester. Both of these statements are
known to be untrue and are characteristic

relieve the beleagured islanders, but to let
them work out their own salvation as best
they may, resisting as far as possible with
their own force the blockade and whatever
assaults may yet be mace upon them by
land or by sea. Meanwhile it is apparent
that Spain will either assume a wholly
quiescent attitude or else seek to strike
sudden and unsupported blow at an
American port. hoping thereby to do suffi-
cient damage t. the hated Yankees to sat

its insolent intrusion into the affairs of the

The Foreign Powers.
New York Corr. Philadelphia Press.


Information brought to this city on what
Is considered reliable authority is to the
effect that some weeks ago there was a de-
termined attempt made by the powers of
Europe to act in concert, and if necessary
to intervene to prevent an outbreak Of war
between the United States and SPAIN
In fact. the intimation is that some of
the powers were ready to go to the extent
of forcible Intervention If that were neces-
sary, and certainly advised a naval demon
stration as hint to the United States Of
what the wishes of Europe were.
This purpose was banked by the action
of Great Britain, and when Lord Salisbury
made his speech, in which he intimate ed
clearly what the course of Great Britain
would be, he thereby formally notified the
European powers that there could be no
such concert, for Great Britain would not
take part in 1t.
1t is also understood that the admnistra-
ton was thoroughly informed of this pur-
pose, and also of the friendly feeling of
Great Britain for the United States, behind
which was the moral support of that nation
because the people of it believed that the
United States was justified in it's decision
to put an end to the intolerable conditions
in Cuba.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-04-26

Americans have landed and distributed
arms and amm1nition among such of the
Cubans as may stand in need of equipment.
The size of the .nsurgent army has been
estimated anywhere from twenty to fifty
thousand. The precise figure Is not i'm
pcrtant now. because conditions are open
ing which are certain to bring into the
field more men than have ever appeared
there before. The Cubans have always
claimed that their fighting strength was
much reduced on account of lack of
arms. This difficulty is soon entirely to
disappear. Not only will arms be provided
sary. the veterans who have held the field
for three years against Spain will be fitted
out with whatever they may require to in
crease their usefulness. The aim will be
to put the Cuban forces in all things on a
par with their American allies, and start
the whole army off in first-class condition.
1t is purely a matter of speculation as to
how lodg Havana will be able to hold out
against the assault OF this army from the
rear and the attack by the fleet in front.
General Lee thinks that the Spaniards can
is valuable. He has seen mis- own country
men in battle, and his observation Of the
Spanish soldiers in Cuba gave him no ia
vorable impression of them. The insur-
gents, with next to nothing in their hands,
have shown excellent mettle ard capacity,
and stronger as they will be. than ever be-

As to Certain ApolOgists,

NOW and then one hears this sort of talk
about the war: 1T Is all a sad. mad bust
ness on our part. Why on earth did we
permit ourselves to become involved in such
mess? Why did not we attend to our
own affairs? Why should we have made
good government for Cuba of SO much i'm
portance in the United States? But NOW
that We are in for a war with Spain. let us
90 the best we can. Let us all stand to-
gether.' And so on
MS Is very comforting to Spain. 1t is
likewise welcome in France and Austria
where Spain is cultivating friendship based
upon the proposition that the United States
has meddled in that which did not legiti
mately concern the people of this country
and Is simply trying TO bully its way
through by force of arms 1t gives color in
those countries TO the charge that the
Character and conscience of America are
engaged in this struggle under duress.
Ihat charge is utterly false Spanish in

CaranAba!

BloodtnirSty Lieut.. Carrienz, late naval
attache at this capital, being temporarily
in retirement in Canada with an abundance
of leisure, is anxious to fight a duel with
hated American. Burning with a sense
of wrong that the Spaniards should ever
have Deen suspected of the heinous crime
of blowing up the Maine he challenges,
first, Captain Sigsbee, whom he considers,
of course, primarily responsible for this
atrocious calumny, for having allowed his
ship to be destroyed under circumstances
that permitted the least degree of sus-
picion to fall upon Spain and her people.
If Captain Sigsbee will not be so accom-
!nodatng TO take d few days away from
his present important duties Lieut.. Car
rienZ will brand HIM as a coward. Then he
will challenge Gen. Lee, whom he regards
as great enemy of Spain, because he told
the truth. 1t is a crime above all others
TO tell the truth about Spain or a Spaniard
If Gen. Lee declines to postpone his prep
arations for war long enough to be de-
stroyed by Lieut.. Carrienz that intrepid
officer will likewise brand him as a coward
The ultimatum to Captain Sigsbee expires
next Thursday. Both he and Gen. Lee
will probably take into account the fact
tfat in their present and prospective posi-
thirst for Spanish gore. The American
mind has not yet adjusted itself to the
Spanish conception of Offended honor.

Time for Prcnarnfinn.

Gen Gomez is doubtless enjoying now n
Ieriod OF absolute security. The attention
OF his enemies is directed elsewhere. II is
risht-about-fsce for the Spaniards. They
are more concerned now about the size of
the American fleet and it's maneuvers in
Cuban waters than about the number of
insurgents in TIE Cuban hills. The Amer
leans. literally. have come to the front
and 1t is Of the utmost Importance that
General Blanco should keep his eyes on
them.
This will facilitate the carrying out of
the program In which General Gomez Is 10

full time and opportunity to recruit his
forces to the utmost. explain matters to all
