course Of a conversation with me today
denied the report that he has a,special
mission to Europe from the United States
government. Alluding to the allegations
that the great powers are to make naval
demonstration in Spain's favor, he ex-
pressed the utmost incredulity as to its
truth and its feasibility if even contempla-
ted.
The foreign office declares that it is alb
soutely untrue that the powers have ever
discussed any proposition of concrete action
in the Hispano-American dispute. So far
they have merely decided for the moment
to offer no further Intervention as body.
Italy, however, has proposed that Rus
sia, recognized disinterested nation.
should use its offices to induce the United
States to accept a middle course. This
the other powers have heartily approved.
The entire Italian press is hostile to the
United States The Tribuna calls the
powers to mark the risk an American VIC
tory would mean for them. It says: "If
Spain is vanquished, the old established
rights Of Europe will fall before the Amer
ican high-handedness. Americas gargan-
tuan appetite will grow with victory and
then woe to the nations of Europe"
The Popolo Romano compares Americas s
action to the Jameson raid in the Trans
vaal and says 1t Is "unjustified and con-
demned by the whole civilized world, and
that America is mistaken If she thinks
Spain will be left at her mercy"

tenest tyrannies that cucumber the earth.
We have good reason to say that there are
strong friends Of America in the present
government, and we hope Lord Salisbury
is one of them, but it is important that
the feeling of the country should be ade-
quately represented both in England and
in Washington.
'It was easy to coerce Greece, but Amer
lea stands in different category. She
is a very great power intensely proud and
entirely self-contaned. Her fate has been
to undertake a task entirely arduous and
thankless. She is not going to be bullied
by the heroes of the Cretan blockade, and
IL the movement against her is pressed too
far she will be compelled, in her own inter
ests, to clear the situation.
"Our present purpose is to insist that our
government does it's best by using every
means in its power to defeat any anti
American combination. If there Is any
doubt about the feelings of the gseat ma
jOrity of the nation, we shall be happy to
try the experiment of marching 100, 900 Lon
doners through the metropolis with the
Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes in
combination. 1t is the business of the
mother country to stand by her children of
the west as stiffly and strongly as one
country can by another"
The Daily Chronicle also ridicules the
Saturday Review, which asks: "Where are
the American officers for an army to march
through Cuba?" 1t says it is not aware
that the United States is to do anything of
that sort.
"But If 1t does, its trouble will be chiefly
one from vast number of highly trained
men from the West Point academy"
The Times, which attaches no Importance
to the rumors of European demonstra-
ton against the United States, says:
ENGLAND would assuredly be no party to
such demonstration, but 1t is even NOR
