ROxE, Nov. 6.-Russia has taken the
lad in . new effort to help Spain in her
struggle to retain the Philippines, or, in
any event. to prevent the establishment
Of American rule over the group. The
cars government has revealed its
scheme through representations to all
the great powers Of Europe, with the
possible exception Of England. Italy Is
one of the powers which Russia desired
30 enlist On her side.
The Italian government was requested
to join in presenting . note to the United
States regarding the control Of the Phil
ippines. No information has been
given - to the exact tenor Of the pro-
posed note. but it is generally under
stood that it would be q request for
lsniency toward Spain, with perhaps IN
implied threat Of intervention.
That Italy is not disposed to accept
this proposition is shown by an inspired
note in the official journal. It declares
that Spain has little hope of gaining any
advantage in retaining the Philippines,
and that the best she will be able to do
is to compromise the matter with the
United States.

LONDON, Nov. 8.-Great Britain's
preparations for armed conflict have
taken remarkable turn. All troops in
the western district are mobilizing. The
mobilization containing as it does many
crack regiments, is looked upon as
highly important and significant.
Another striking index to the situa-
ton is presented by the warlike prepar-
ations being made in Italy. which
hitherto have been overlooked in the
rush Of complications between England
and France and Russia. The Italian
warships have been ordered to concen-
trate at the island of Magalena for ''ex-
traordinary maneuvers.'
The Italian militare evidently be-
ieves in . war between France and
England. and it declares that in such an
event the least Italy could do would be
to mobilize her navy and army. NADIA.
lena island. where the warships are
gathering. is the key to the maritime
defense of Italy.
There il also the possibility that Ita-
ly's activity is hint to Russia, whose
agents have been III dguing with the
sultanate of Rahelta, on the Red sea,
which has long been an Italian protec-
-togate.,. .a,.-s ,.---
A dispatch has been received from
Dover announcing that the Freach
northern squadron is about to sail from
Brest for q cruise. It is not known
whether this squadron intends to join
the French southern squadron at Toulon.
The British channel squadron is massed
at Gibraltar to watch for any such STRAIT
egic attempt ON the part of France.
It is reported throughout London thai
Great Britain will be compelled to take
definite action if any reinforcementsa are
sent to the French colonies.
Dispatches from St. Petersburg state
that the st. Petersburg newspapers
show great irritation at England over the
settlement of the Fashoda affair, and
agree in declaring that her conduct will
arouse the powers interested in the free
navigation of the Suez canal to q COM
mon discussion of the best means of
preventing the final establishment of
England in Egypt.
The Novosti says that since the Egypt
ian question is purely of an interna-
tional character it must be solved by q
congress of the powers. which can pro-
claim the perpetual neutrality of Egypt
under the protectorate of all the powers.

/ Washington. April 1.-THE consular
| correspondence with regard to the sit
uation in Cuba. which was transmitted
to Congress. today. was prepared in re-
Spouse to a resolution of inquiry adopt
ed by both the House and Senate. The
correspondence was prepared fer trans

in all the districts.
Gen. Lee reports quite fully on the
DEGREES Of the government with regard

Of the situation. in preparing the cor
respondence for transmission to Con-
sress. considerable portions of the i'm
poTtart commute atoms and especially
those marked confidential, are omitted,
Gen. Lees CORE spondence runs over
the period Nov. H. 1897 to April, 1898.
Much Of the correspondence is of a con-
fldCutlaI nature ana some OF the M
portant communications excerpts only
are given. The period Of the CORE
spcrlerce after the blowing up of the
Maine contains no reference to that
event. The first dispatch of Gen. Lee
contains Blanco's order under date Of
