ion that the most effective method Of deal
ing with the question would be to take
up and pass the bill Immediately upon its
receipt in the senate, without reference to
committee. Some Of the members of the
committee on appropriations expressed
themselves as satisfied to have the meas
ure take this course, but others are of
opinion that none of the effect Of the meas
ure will be lost to have the bill referred
and reported in the regular way. Senator
Allison. chairman Of the committee. ex-
pressed the opinion that the bill should be
referred. saying that the committee would
probably be able to report 1t within twenty
four hours. A few senators said that they
did not consider that the time had come for
the actual appropriation of money for
preparation for war. but they did not indi-
cate any intention to antagonize the pass

WOULD FRANCE HELP SPAIN?
1t Is Believed She Would Furnish
Money After War Were

New York. March "A copyrighted cable
gram from London to the Evening Post

Special inquiries in official and financial
circles to-day show that, of the many
grave international difficulties pending in
elsewhere the most serious view is taken
of the American-Spanish tension.
At the United States and Spanish embas-
sizes. the utmost reticence; of course: IS Oh,

1t is noteworthy, in view of reports that
the Armstrong; have sold cruisers to Spain,
that the Armstrong; board has given eN-
press directions that no questions are to be
answered regarding their dealings with
British or foreign governments.
Varying conclusions are drawn from this
refusal to confirm the denial of this Span
ish purchase from the Armstrong;. What
cannot be denied is that the Armstrong;
have had relations with Spain since 1886.
have built several cruisers to Spains order.
and now have vessels on stock that could
be sold If money were forthcoming.
Is French money helping Spain? Two OF
the first financial houses were asked this
question this afternoon. Their replies may
be grouped thus:
Nothing OF the kind has been definitely
arranged. and. obviously. seeing the large
French financial interests in Spain. French

whence money would be sought and be-

nothing has been definitely settled
The fact probably is that Spain is anx-
ious to buy ships and that the Armstrong;
are ready to sell of they can see the money.
The French financiers are not eager to ad-
vance the necessary money SO long as by
holding back. they can assist the cause of
peace. Armstrong cruisers have the repu-
tation in naval circles here of being the
best armed and protected cruisers in the
world.

Day, assistant secretary of state; Senator
Allison, and Representatives Dingley and

ocrats were present. Assurances were Civ
en- the representatives of the administra-
lion that any amount of funds that were
deemed necessary would be provided by
congress to put the government in a state
Of defense, and that the administration
would be backed up in anything that was
thought necessary.
Mr.. Cannon says he simply introduced
the bill in his individual capacity az a
representative. This is, of course, true, but
it can be stated positively that the bill
was introduced as the result of the confer
ence with the president and the Repub-
lican leaders of both houses and that the
bill has the presidents approval.
The bill will be considered at the post
poned meeting OF the appropriations COM
mittce tomorrow, and probably reported
for immediate action. Several Democratic
members of the committee say they will
vote for IT if the president denns 1t neces-
sary, and SO far as known there will be no
vote against It.
There is little doubt expressed among
senator's that the Cannon bill appropriat-
ing $5o00o.00o will be promptly considered

Firmness and CautiOn-Amer-

London. March s-The Times editorially
says this morning:
IF Spain is placed in an awkward po-
sition respecting the Lee incident, she must
thank the indscretion of her foreign office.
She cannot blame President Mckinley. Mr.
Ca,lnon's bill can hardly be explained by
the Lee incident 1t is probably due to the
ruruors that Spain is purchasing war
vessels.
I'VE do not believe that Spain desires
war. but il she does this evidence Of
Americas alertness offers a most effectual
check. President Mckinley appears to be
adkering loyalty to the policy of firmness
caution and pacific circumspection he has
hitherto pursued. No doubt he has the sup
port of the sober and conscientious mass OF
the American people, but he has had to face
outbursts of popular clamor that a weaker
man might have mistaken for the voice OF
the country"
The Daily News. in its editorial on the
Cuban situation says:
1--WE cannot doubt as to the ultimate is
sue of war between the United States
| and Spain, but America might have a
bad quarter of an7hour before victory. Eu-
ropean alliance against the United States
may be left out ofbthe-auestion. despite the
talk of Spain's friends. The attitude of
the Spanish-American republics, however.
may give the Americans pause. The one
thing needful, 20 far as England is con-
cerned, Is that those who have SO often
mismanaged our relations with the United
| States should not repeat their historic mis-
| takes.
ut may be taken for granted that Amer

out on the right side. But the United

| failure on our part to do prompt justice,
