NO CONCERT IN OURS.
New York Mail and Express

There is something fantastic in the sug- gestion of a concert of European nations to mediate between the United States and Spain for the purpose of averting war. Even if this Government were to agree to such a programme Spain probably, wouldn't, Sagasta having already an nounced that she will submit to no for eign interference in her own affairs. But the European concert business is played out anyhow, and the nations over there have troubles enough of their own on hand to engage their undivided attention.
