ANGLO AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
The Daily Chronicle Believes It Is Only a
Matter Of Time.
England VIII Never Allow the European
Powers to Crush the United
States.

London, March 1S.-The Daily Chron-
icle in an editorial this morning on the
growth of the Anglo American alliance
idea expresses the conviction that it is
only matter of time, but that 1t would
be the greatest mistake to try to rush
the movement. 1t says:
America does not need more help
from us now than at 'any other time.
She is superabundantly capable of
meeting any situation that may arise.
She will have our friendly sympathy
and neutrality In the Cuban question,
and at this moment IL is difficult for us
to offer more. 1t is quite certain that
England would never allow the United
States to be crushed by combination
OF European powers"
A MOVE FOR PEACE.
London, March 1s.-Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford in an inter-
view with n correspondent of the As
ISOLATED Press warmly advocated an
Anglo-American alliance as a move
In the direction of peace" and calcu-
lated to Immensely develope trade"
He added: such an alliance is
natural and believe the mere fact of
It's conclusion would deter others from
attacking any inadequately defended
interests of either country. Now is
the time to accomplish 1t when the
advantages are apparent to both coun-
tries. A decade hence when IL she
desires. the United States cam have
become n first class naval power and
viii perhaps have adopted the policy
OF free trade, II might not be worth
her while to undertake the RESPONSE
bilities of an alliance with Great
Britain. When America has built her
navy she will be In a position to en-
force here demands. which will not
take her long now with her enormous
latent resources and mechanical and
engineering facilities. An Anglo
Anerican alliance would be the most
powerful factor in the world for peace
and the development OF commerce"
Speaking OF the possibilities of the
United States going to war Lord
Beresford remarked:
IF she ever does, no matter what
happens at the beginning, she must
eventually win, because of the enthu-
siasm and intense patriotism of her
people,

Washington. March 1s.-Nothing of
special Importance was developed at
today's cabinet meeting beyond the fact
that the report of the Maine inquiry is
not expected before the early part of
next week. As has been the case in
every cabinet meeting during the last
month, almost the entire session was
consumed in the discussion of the Gu
ban situation and IL can be stated on
good authority that no plan OF action
will be definitely decided on pending
the arrival of the report.
Every phase of the several questions
involved Is being carefully and
thoughtfully considered and 1t is be-
lieved very soon after the report is re-
ceived the President possibly in con-
junction with Congress, will announce
definite policy. Until then nothing
of decisive character will be done or
