is to secure the alliance of America against
Russia in China and the Far East. In

EXPECTS INTERVENTION
European Diplomats Views on Spanish
Affairs

NEW YORK. May PA dispatch to the
World from London says:
A veteran diplomat who represented a
continental power at various capitals for
many years, but is retired from active
service now, though well informed on cur
rent international affairs, said:
II expect European interference in this
war, but not at the present stage, because
the continental powers can find no pre-
text for stepping in as long as Spain holds
out gamely.
II have reason for supposing that Aus
tria is only waiting for an opportunity to
do something for Spain. But the Austrian
emperor feels that he cannot go against
the interests of the triple alliance by play
ing too much into the hands of France
and Russia or attempting to lead Italy
and Germany into a quarrel with the
United States. Then again, the emperor
of Austria knows that France and Russia
have many interests themselves to make
them hesitate about causing an open rup-
ture with America or increasing the al
ready visible tension of the relations con .
sequent on too public show of sympathy
with Spain by the Russian and French
press. Continental powers will interfere
the instant International events will give
them opportunity of appealing to the bet
ter, nobler feelings Of the American peo-
pie and President, asking them to show
forbearance and generosity and not to In
sist upon making use of their superior
power and resources to make Spain feel
too heavily the consequences of her gal
liant struggle"
After a pause, the diplomat added with
earnestness:
Come, don't you think the recent
speeches of Sagasta, Silvela and even that
horrid Republican Salmeron point the
same direction as my differences? Cannot
you read through the lines that those who
can go beyond the popular agitations--
which were very natural at the outset
really feel in their heart of hearts that
Spain, like all disabled, sinking ships in
terrible storm, will have to save the noble
craft by casting part of the cargo over
board after all? Sir, have survived the
loss of her American land possessions and
will survive the loss of Cuba If she keeps
the rest and averts revolution and civil
warfare"
