Spain Will Lose All.

The general opinion in Europe is
that Spain will be stripped Of all
of her possessions, that is, her de-
pendent colonies, as the result OF
the war with the United States.
1t is believed that the powers will
begin scramble for the remnants,
and that the United States will be
told that she can have nothing
outside the West Indies! The
Philippines will, of course, be the
bone Of contention, as all of the
governments have anxious eyes
turned toward the Pacific, and with
the present conditions in China
there is disposition to hazard al
most anything in order to possess
additional territory.
The attitude of Germany is most
pronounced concerning the Phil
ippines. while Russia and others
will make n struggle to obtain pos
session. Japan is force which
will have to be rcckoned with. She
has a formidable navy and Is likely
to resist any attempted European
aggression having for its purpose

ands. The gravest perils are con-
fronting the british Governmtnt.
Recently relations between En-
gland and Germany have improved
somewhat. SO far as observation
goes, but 1t is not believed that Il
will last long. Every phase of
London life is now heart aud soul
on the side of the United States
in tho war with Spain. Finnnciels,
politicians, editors and the general
public are now arraycd upon the
side of the Washington Govern
ment.
1t is reported that communica-
tons are passing between the
French and German governments
with the view OF bringing about
joint action for the landing OF
forces in the Philippines and taxi
ing charge of affairs of tho govern
mcnt. In view of the fact that
Great Britain is opposed to my
interference with the Americans
there, and the further fact that
France has become the implncableI
enemy of England, this move on
tho part Of Germany does not tend
to impress Que with tho sincerity

More French warships will soon be

Great Britain there is also to be

made the following statement to
the Berlin correspondent OF the
New York Staats-Zeitung, TO con-
tradict the statement OF sensation
al American newspapers and to
emphasize tho fnct that Germany
will remain strictly neutral between
the United States and Spain:
"We feel ourselves injured by
the statement that we have taken
the side Of Spain. Our own inter
ests and our commercial relations,
in fnct, incline us to the side Of the
United States. We took part in
tho concert OF the powers at Wash
fngton without abandoning our
course OF strict neutrality, merely
because that concert did not con-
template nuy Intervention, but was
intended solely rs an expression
Of a desire for peace. 1t would
have been ridiculous Ind VIC re-
fused to tnle part in such n purely
platonic demonstration. Had we
refused, Spain could have contond-
ed, naturally, that we had takcn
sides with the United States.
Wc make no defonso Of Spanish
Iaissule in Cuba, and have abso-
lutcly no interest in seeing it
maintained or in preventing tho
separation Of the island from Spain.
OF course il the island is separated
from Spain very suddenly the
mother country will suffer and the
monarchy will be imperiled. New
erthcless, We shall not intervene
under any circumstances whatever;
il for no other reason, on account
OF our existing commercial rela-
tions with the United States. Our
desire is to maintain Intact our
friendly relations to America which
haze never been disturbed during
the last hundred years"

William Ewnrt Gladstone, En-
glands Grand Old Man" has been
in the variety of his intellectual
activity the most remarkable pro-
duct of the century.
/ He wns born at Liverpool in
1909, was educated at Oxford and
entered the House of Commons in
1882. In 1885 he wns mads Under
Secretary for the Colonies, and in
1888 published his first work, "The
State in its relations to the Church.
During this period he advocated
Itnlian independence, and pub
iished nn elaborate work on "Ho-
mer and the Homeric Age"
In go Gladstone carried through
Parliament commercial treaty
with France, and in 1869 began
his advocacy of Irish reforms. He
first secured the disestablishment
of the Irish Episcopal Church. In
1871 he secured the abolition OF
purchase in tho army by royal
prerogative, and in 1872 carried
the ballot bill. In 1876 he strong
ly denounced Turkish crueltics in
Bulgaria, and advocated the nuto-
nomy of Christian provinces then
subject to the Porte.
Gladstone became Premier in
1880, which Office he resigned in
1885. From then until his retire.
ment from public life he was close
ly identified with the Irish party
ard was nm ardent advocate of
home rule for Ireland.
Thus through a period of neatly
60 years of public lifc Gladstone
has been the most prominent fig
ure in English history. AS n states
man he was bold and uncomprom-
ising, and yet in social life he was
as tender and considerate as wo-
man. He ever looked upon the
home rs most sacred institution
and the test of national life.
As = litcrateur and moralist he
easily took rank among the fore
most; his Homer and the Homeric
Ago" Is a masterpiece, and his
contributions to moral and relig-
ious philosophy are classic. In
sympathy he ever sided with the
oppressed, and his charitable aud
religious benevolence were con-
stalt.
But it was as statesman that
Gladstone stood pre-eminent. He
was near the throne and near the
people, and his loyalty to the peo-
pie was equaled only by his loyalty
10 the throne. He was brond in
his grasp of national affairs, and
at the same time wonderful in his
mastery of details. His ability as
a fipancier is nttcstcd by the fact
that in three years after bis bccom-
ing Chancellor of the Exchequer
the deficit of S12-0O0.00O was
changed to a surplus of s13,5O0,000.
Americans remember that he
hns always recognized tho best as
pirations of this Republic, To US
he has seemed a friend aud fellow
countryman. His death will be
mourricd as sincerely and ms gen
orally here as in England. st.
