Special London Gable Letter: Copyright,
1885, by the Associated Press:
London. March ia diplomat, who
probably is the recipient of more cona-
dences than any man in London. has ex-
pressed himself as follows on the Cuban
question:
IF America had designed, with a set
purpose, the events of the past week, she
could not by any possibility have developed
anything which, in Its impressive dignity
would have had such an effect upon Eu-
rope as the way in which the executive
Congress and the people have met the cri-
sis and risen to the responsibilities in
volved In dealing with the Cuban ques-
ton"
Such is undoubtedly the general feeling
England now recognizes that the United
States does not desire war, but Is actuated
by humanitarian sentiments, and will not
shrink from war il it is necessary to right
the wrongs of Cuba and exact satisflc-
ton from Spain.
In the course OF long article, the
Speaker expresses the opinion that the
$50,00O 900 appropriation for the national
defense really makes way for peace. The
Speaker adds: "In the face of possi-
bic deficit, bank crisis and the suspension
of revival of industry, the United States
has deliberately shown the world that it
will not be trifled with. The Spanish pa
trlots would do we'll to heed the warming"
The Spectator says: "Quoting Kipling,
the Americans are irresolute and full Of
doubts up to the point when they wake
the drumming guns that have no doubts
After that there Is no more irresolution
till the last shot is fired"
The newspapers here generally regard
favorably the NacionaPs proposition that
the United States annex Cuba and assume
her debt.
The feeling In the money market is that
If war is inevitable much gold will prob
ably go to New York and money, there
fore, will become dearer. The markets
are uneasy at the danger that a large
amount of gold may be withdrawn from
the Bank of England, whose reserve is al
ready low.
In the meanwhile, Madrid is deluged
with sensational Journalism Canard is
piled on canard, to be denied In the next
edition and eventually abandoned in favor
of fresh excitmeht. The jngo trades of
the impartial and papers of its class are
keeping the nation amused, thus detract-
ing attention from the approaching cleo
tions. at which the government anticipates
the Liberals will capture 80 per cent. of the
seats.
A good sample of the literature with
which the Spaniards are RECALLED appears
in the Carlist organ, the Correo. 1t Is in
the shape of letter written to Don Car
los, from a correspondent in New York,
and says I'VE are In the crater of vol
cano. 1t seems as though not only the
Maine, but the whole Union fleet has
blown up. Fragments Of ships are falling
like fiery rain upon this city. Ninety
per cent. of the people blame the Span
iards for the catastrophe. The fact is the
feeling prevailing among these hawkers
Is one of terror. For a couple of years they
have believed that the Cuban question was
all thorns for Spain and all roses for them
selves. Now, finding themselves suddenly
chastised, words failed TO describe their
fear and amazement. If we now had at the
head Of our government a worthy man, he
would be master of the situation and show
to the world these people In the ridiculous
light they deserve. We few Spaniards, who
for our sins, find ourselves ia this hell,
recognize that If Spain gave a quick, en-
ergetic blow they would not resist
and would quickly cry for mercy, for a
prolonged war to this country would
prove a terrible foe Men OF money
abound, but they have no spirit and no
sef-sacrifice. If we quickly landed few
sharp blows the Generalization would be
instantaneous and they would surrender at
discretion. What pity we are letting slip
this possibility, the only opportunity prov
idence will give us of gaining al one stroke
respect credit. glory and money"
Don Jaime, the son of Don Carlos, will
receive the Carlst deputies at Cannes,
where he Is staying, and he declares he
will then proceed to Spain, declaring him
self the pretender. II this is true, the
news IL very important, but the Spanish
government processes to have no fear of
Carlist outbreak.
An ominous rumor In circulation has Il
that the Marquis of Salisbury is suffering
from Brighcs disease.
