Would Refuse TO Take Part in a
Demonstration.
GERMANY CAN'T Be GAINED
Kaiser Not Inclined 10 Undertake
to Interfere.

London, April 16.-The morning papers
| generally dismiss the rumors as to the in
| tervention of the European concert as ao>
surd and baseless.
The Daily Chronicle, taking it for grant
! ed that there is some truth in the reports
of a new European concert for coercion,
devotes an editorial to urging England not
| to join it. 1t says: "Our concern is TO
see that England is not once more dragged
at the heels of despots and made to play
the game of the latest of the rotten tyran-
nies that cucumber the East"
ut was easy to coerce Greece. but
America stands in different category.
She is very great power, intensely proud
/ and entirely self-contained. Her fate has
been to undertake a task peculiarly ardu-
oGs and thankless. She is not going to he
bullied by the powers of the Oretan block
/ ade, and if the movement against her is
pressed too far she will be compelled in
her own interests to clear the situation.
"Our present purpose is to insist that
our government does best by using every
means in its power to defeat any anti
American combination If there be any
doubt about the feelings of the great ma
jority of the nation we shall be happy to
| try the experiment of marching 100000 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 stifIly and strongly as one
country can by another"
The Times, which attaches no import
ance to the rumors of a European demon
stration against the United States, says:
| England would assuredly be no party to
such a demonstra ton, but il Is even more
absurd to suggest that because England
sympathlzes with American indignation
at Cuban horrors, the British government
ought to rush into armed alliance with the
United States for a settlement of ques-
ton in which we have no immediate con-
| Germ"
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
Mail says he learns the German govern
| ment will fight shy of identifying itself
with any note to Washington which would
be likely to be regarded as an unwarrant
able interference.
The officials of the British. foreign
office yesterday, when questioned on
the subject, refused to make a
statement on the hypothetical case as 10
whether Great Britain would join in d
naval demonstration in behalf Of Spain.
but they added that they did not believe
such demonstration would be attempted.
A representative of the Associated Press,
however, learns from the ambassador
here of continental power that no such
dem0nstration is contemplated.
The Rome correspondent Of the Daily
Mail says THE foreign office declares
absolutely untrue that the powers have
even discussed any proposition of concrete
action in the Hispano-Amercan dispute.
So far they have merely decided, for the
moment to offer no further Intervention
as a body"
A special dispatch from Madrid publish
ed yesterday afternoon, says: "The note to
the powers will review the whole Cuban
question, pointing out that all the trouble
with the United States arises through the
c,amor of the sugar manufacturers. who.
it Is claimed, fomented and organized the
entire revolt. Attention VIII be recalled
TO the alleged unmolested American flibus
terings, and 1t will be asserted that the
chief insurgent leaders are not Cubans, but
adventurers of all nationalities, whose sole
purpose Is plunder and robbery.
THE note to the powers will conclude
with declaring that Spain. having ex-
hausted every means of peace, is reluc-
family compelled to prepare for war and to
fight for the maintenance of its rights and
honor"
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, telegraphng Thursday, says:
Even now hope is not wholly abandoned,
and the government Is resolved to do moth
ing capable Of being interpreted as aggres-
sive or provocative"
Rome, April 15.-The Popolo Romano to-
day says It understands the powers Of Eu-
rope will intervene between the United
states and Spain in favor Of the latter
country. and It adds, according to infor-
nation gathered in well-informed quarters.
the Intervention will take the form Of a
