POLO HAS GONE.
Was Ordered to Leave by the Cana
dian Government

New York, May 21.-A special to the
Herald from Montreal says: 1t has not
been possible for Spain to postpone the
departure of Senor Polo y Bernabe any
longer. Today he will sail with all his
staff by the steamer Dominion for Liv-
erpool.
Senor Polo went on board the steamer
last night and will go from Liverpool to
Madrid. He says that though he was
detained here for some time by business
he respected the declaration of neutral
ity and left this country voluntarily.
He leaves the Spanish consul to con-
tinue gathering information for the
Spanish government relative to the
United States military and naval move
ments. The authorities here are close
ly watching the consul, and he will be
promptly placed under arrest if the
slightest deviation from neutrality laws
is detected
Senior Polo y Bernabe has been loud
! in his declarations that no official pro-
test has been lodged against his pro-
ceedingS here, but he now practically
admits that he was requested to return
to Madrid, for it was learned last night
from an uninlpeachable source that the
Canadian government advised his de-
parture.
Owing to diplomatic fiction that such
questions are not dealt with by the Ca
madam cabinet it was possible for our
secretary of state to say that the gov
ernment had not interfered. The ac-
ton was taken by the governor general.
| who is the queens direct representative
here, and who in such matters is sup
posed to, but never does, act without
! knowledge of the cabinet
Lieutenant Carranza, who left this
city Immediately after Downing's ar
rest, is, according to statements by
some of Polo's staff, to be sent to the
Philippines with the relief expedition
Other Spaniards, however, assert that

with important papers and will Qn6Q9 "

French Enmity For America
Beginning to Vanish
Newspapers Unite in AVOWals
of Warm Feeling.
ARE ANCIENT FRIENDS
Tenderness Toward Spain Crit
icised by Some Editors.
One Writer Condemns AmeFi-
can Women For SnobbishneSS.

New York, May PA dispatch from
Paris to the World says: There are re-
markable indications in certain Paris
journals, hitherto inimical. of a com
plete reversal Of the French disposition
toward America.
The Gaulois, for example, extoIs the
cleverness with which Admiral Samp-
son has nlaneuvered, taking advantage
OF his opponents slOwness, to affect q
junction with Schley and thus enabling
him to divide the forces into two parts.
M JaureS, in the Petit RepubEque,
writes in the same strain OF Americas
admirable attack and defense, which
have been directed with energy and
nfe''
M. Jaures derides Spain for allowing
herself to be made the sport of cleri-
caliSm and militarism.'
There is also a strong article in the
Echo de Paris, signed by Henry Baure,
calling the hostility of France to her
ancient friends and clients beyond the
Atlantic, foolish and illogical.
France" the writer says, lis natural
ly drawn to America as a republic and
should not give way to sudden tender
ness for SPAIN
On the other hand Henry Fouquier,
in the DiXneuVieme Steele, writes in a
vein hardly short of insulting to Amer
lean women for their alleged snobbiSh-
ness in seeking to make out a long line
of ariStOcratic ancestors.

TO END THE WAR.
Spain Seeks Continental Alli-
ance OF Intervention.

New York, May 21.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
continental alliance for Spain, or
intervention to stop the war, is now the
joint aim of Premier Sagasta of Am
bassador Leon Y Castillo of Paris, and
of the court at Madrid.
Events will soon demonstrate this.
The new cabinet is regarded as a
makeshift and only temporary. Only an
alliance or an intervention could firmly
establish it. The ministry announced
in the cortes, through Senior Sagasta as
spokesman, that Spain is fully resolved
to carry on the war and to employ for
will place at its disposal, confident of
the support of the eHaWn and country
The ministry undertakes at the same
time to crush the rebellion in Cuba and
the Philippine islands, with the utmost
severity, reservfng for the day of paci-
fcation the accomplishment of the
promised reforms
AS for the finances, the cabinet ex-
poets to raise money through the as
sistance of the bankers of France and
of Barcelona and through railway con-
cessions.
1t will be almost impossible to raise
a loan in Spain, even with the guaran-
tee of the tobacco and stamp mOnOpo-
lies and the proposed increase in taxa
tion had to be abandoned because it
was so unpopular.
Financiers would have preferred a
military cabinet to check the popular
and revolutionary ag1tationS-which de-
feat may at any moment make formid-
able-or a conservative cabinet with
Silvela and Campos to force the nation
to accept the advice of Austria and the
pope, to make peace by timely conces-
siOnS in Cuba.
London, May 21.-The Madrid CORES
pondent of the Times says:
"a newspaper, which is occasionally
inspired, makes the oracular announce
nent that Senior Leon y Castillo, the
Spanish ambassador to France, is en-
gagged in effecting approachment with
the French government for reasons
which must not be made public"
Madrid, May 21--In presenting the
new ministers to the chamber, Senor
Sagasta explained that the appointment
of a minister of foreign affairs had been
postpone dbecause SenOr Leon Cas-
tillo had not accepted the portfolio, be-
ing detained in Paris by very impor-
tant negotiations which may lead to
fresh developments in the present grave
situation"

COULD COMMAND ALL SEAS.
Nicaragua Canal Would Be Worth
S1OO.OOO.OOO. Saws an Expert.

Chicago, May 21-Lyman E. Cooley,
the well known engineer, who spent two
months of last winter on the proposed
route o fthe Nicaragut canal, says:
LAS a bluff, if nothing more, the
Nicaraguan canal In operation today
would be worth S100 900, coo to this gov
ernment. Completed, it would perpet-
ually say to all nations that our fleets,
in a moment of necessity, could COM
nnand the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
as no other fleets in the world would be
able to do.
I'm a race for Manila, we starting at
New York and Spain at Cadiz, we, with
the Nicaragua canal, could reach the
Philippines before any fleet passing
through the Suez canal could do so-'
Mr.. Cooley has studied the journey Of
the battleship Oregon around South
America with extraordinary interest,
since, if the Nicaraguan canal had been
completed, the Oregon might have been
with Sampson weeks ago. or, in an
emergency, any part Of our navy could
be dispatched to the Pacific coast with
the saving of thousands of miles of
journey.
Suppose it cost at most $133, 100000 to
construct this canal; what is that
amount in view of the fact that at the
present moment Pacific coast cities
could be destroyed by a hostile fleet be-
fore any battleSnip of ours could even
round Cape Horn, when we could reach
the ruins of San Francisco, the enemy
would be at Hawaii, and when we were
there they would be at Manila or safe
ly at home.
Leaving aside all questions of value
to US of the canal powerful agency
for developing our commerce, look at its
construction from war point of view.
1.-THE Atlantic coast will be the con-
central ton point for the cream of our
navy. New York city is 1900 miles
from San Francisco, without the Nj
caragua canal; that is via the Straits OF
Magellan; steam vessels leaving New
York are over 1000 miles from San
Francisco and sailing vessels via Cape
Horn IL, 500 miles away. The canal
would shorten one route S26 miles and
the other route 1878 miles. A man-of-
war sailing ten knots an hour, or 240
miles per day, would save in the one in
stance "A days and in the other "a days. "

HOW SAMPSON FAILED.
SpaniardS Think Admiral Ger
vera Clearly OutWitted Him.

London, May 21.-The Madrid CORES
pondent of the Daily News says:
Admiral Cervera's dispatch from
Santiago De Cuba to the minister of
marine contained further details for the
information Of the government alone.
1t is pointed out here that the Ameri-
can plan was to gain command of the
sea as a condition to future move
mentS. Admiral CerVera's brilliant
move-reminding one of Lord Nelson's j
race from the West Indies to Trafalgar
and his escape from the French-de
prives America of the command of the
sea and demonstrates to the world that
the blockade of Cuba is merely nomi-
nal.
admiral Cervera has given the slip
to two powerful fleets that have been
securing the ocean for fortnight in an
endeaVor to catch him. All the Amer
lean schemes depend thereupon. Ad-
miral Cervera with four cruisers, and a
ignoring events in Cuba, and in Porto
Rico, and the position of the American
squadron, has Outmaneuvered, diSOr-
ganized and dispersed the latter, and
the Americans believe they were
threatened on every side
The torpedo boats Azor, Rayo and
Ariete steamed from the Cape Verde
islands to the Canary with the utmost
precautions, hugging the coast by day
and covering their lights by night. The
Artete slightly damaged was towed by
the OluQaQ de CaQlZ ana the transports
carried the smaller boats of the Viz
caya, the Alrnirante Oquendo, the Girls
tobal Colon and the Infanta Maria Ter
esa, probably in order that these YES
sells might be kept cleared in view of
possible battle.
London, May 21.-The Madrid CORES
pondent of the Chronicle telegraphs:
1t is believed here that a conflict be-
tween the American warships and Ad-
mira1 Cervera's fleet can not be de-
ferred long. The new Spanish cabinet
desires to force the war to an issue, 1t
is said, with a view to evoking inter-
vention by the European powers as
quickly as possible.
The internal economic situation of
Spain is known to be desperate. The
British foreign office received today a
report of the shooting of a British SOL
dier by a Spanish sentry at Gibraltar.
The British soldier is admitted to have
been in the wrong in attempting to land
on forbidden ground. He was only
slightly wounded.

U. s. VICTORY WOULD HELP.
London Chronicles Idea of Spain's
Negotiations With Powers.

London, May 21-Admiral Cervera's 5
maneuver eXciteS the keeneSt specula-
ton here. 1t some quarters the whole
story is regarded as a ruSe designed to
hurry up the Spanish government and
the spreading of it broadcast is sup
posed to hide sinister motives. The
bulk of opinion, however, regards the
news as authentic and is inclined to the
belief that Admiral Cervera we'll knows
reinforcement is at hand and that 9TH
erwise he would not have risked being
bottled up at Santiago.
The Daily News directs attention to
the great secrecy preserved about what
is happening at the Canaries, where the
cables have been seized and censorship
is severe. 1t says:
THE question now arises whether the
reserve squadron from Cadiz is not al
ready half way across the Atlantic.
One thing seems clear. The Spanish
strategists have a prearranged plan of
operations, while the Americans have
defensive attitude However, if Ger
vera is in Santiago de Cuba, it ought
not to be difficult for Admiral Sampson
to find him. Thus it is possible there
may be big fight within a few days.
The Daily Chronicle, on the other
hand, thinks Admiral Cervera has walk
ed into a trap from which he cannot
escape, thanks partly to the imbecili-
fishing his dispatch, which was doubt
less done to avert domestic troubles"
The Daily Chronicle concludes: AS
to limited negotiations by Spain with
the powers, the best answer to them
would be an American victory which
we hope to record Monday or Tuesday"
The Times says editorially: "Wheth-
er publicity will assist the success of
Admiral Cervera's operations, is a
question, but it has undoubtedly help
ed the new ministers to make favor
able debut in the cortes. Certainly the
situation has increased in interest
