ADMINISTRATION
Against the United States by Euro
pean Powers Not Likely to Be Un-
dertaken--Germany and England
Do Net Favor 1t.

Rome, April 15.-The Ponolo D.
mano to-day says it understands +ba
powers of Europe Will intervene "a
tween the United States and Snair N
favor of the latter country ana +
adds, according to information patb-
cred in we'll Informed Quarters tho
intervention will take the form of .
naval demonstration in which all the
powers will participate.
London, April ia dispatch from
Rome, referring to the rumOrs of tbe
proposition to make an international
naval demonstration Off the island Of
Cuba, says Austria is taking the lead
in the matter but it is understood that
Great Britain and Germany are NOT
favorable to the suggestion.
The Spanish ambassador made a
long visit to the British foreign office
to-day and later the Austrian ambas-
sador called.
London, April 15.-The officials Of
the British foreign office to-day. when
questioned en- the subject refused to
make a statement On the hypothetic-
al case as to whether Great Britain
would join in a demonstration in be-
half of Spain, but they added that they
did not believe such a demonstration
will be attempted A representative OF
the Associated Press, however. learns
from the ambassador here Of a con
tinental power that no such demon
stration is contemplated, though it
might be mooted by some despairingx
friend of Spain.
He added: Such movement could
not succeed, if attempted in view of
Great Britains fiat refusal to join in
any demonstration or step with the
view of putting pressure upon the
United States. If the continental
powers accepted it, Great Britain
would probably openly endorse the
United States, and the United States is
certain to snub Europe. The Austrian
ambassador openly says he has given
I'D any hope of Europe preventing war.
PARA April 15.-The Temps this
afternoon warns the powers against
hasty action, and says:
Europe must not forget that She
has a great interest in America. 1t
would be simply disastrous to provoke
war between the two continents, and
above all, it is necessary for the pow
ers to come to an understanding and
act in concert Any nation which
alone assumes the responsibility OF
supporting Spain and making an
enemy of the United States, would do
the greatest injury to its most essen
tial interests"

The proposition was to refuse to rec

During legal argument by Mr..

asked: Where would we be if France

was actuated not only by friendliness
to the colonists, but hatred OF Eng

BOND IN POLITICAL CAMP.
story of John II. Mclean Becoming
Secretary of War.

story of John II. Mclean Becoming
Secretary of War.
Dayton, o., Aug ga special from the
Cincinnati Times-Star was reproduced In
the papers here tonight that John r. Nc
Lean would not be represented by Chair
man Dan McConvnle. Lewis q. Bernard
or any other of his former lieutenants who
are at this convention, and the reason for
him not taking part was said TO be due
to the report that John II. Mclean Is to
succeed Gen. r. A. Alger as Secretary Of
War in McKinley's cabinet
This caused more stir among the dele
gates than anything that has been sprung
for years at Ohio conventions. Although
Mclean was prominently before the last
Democratic convention for the presiden-
tial nomination and would have been elect
ed senator in place Of Hanna II the Dem
ocrats had carried the legislature last Mo-
vember, and although his paper, the Gin
cinnatl Enquirer, was considered a lead
ing advocate OF Bryan and free silver.
the story about Mclean probably becom-
ing the successor OF Alger was believed
by many of the delegates.
They cited the case of Hayes appointing
Keys, Southern Democrat, as his Post
master General, ana later of Cleveland
making Gresham his Secretary Of State,
and said that Mckinley had appointed
Lee Wheeler and othcr Democrats TO
leading places. and that greater surprises
in politics than this had happened. II
was conceded II Mclean should become
McKinley's Secretary OF War and the Gin
cinpati ENQUIRER an administration paper
that II would cause a political revolution,
as Mclean and his paper has been the
most potential factors IN this state as well
as i'm Kentucky Indiana and other states
for free silver.
The factional fights and all other usual
issues have been overshadowed tonight
by the discussion of the reports about the
attitude of Mclean and the Enquirer.
While some delegates are busy denounc-
ing it as an ante-conventlon sensation and
ridiculously absurd, 1t Is certainly COM
mandng more attention than other mat
ters which are not disputed. The Brice
Sorg and other elements seem 10 be circu-
ladng very studiousiy the Mclean story
whether they believe It true or not.

fitness for the position and was without
reference to or consideration TO the Span
ish question.

to a continuance Of the past policy OF
protecting and fostering our commercial
interests. without entering into alliances
or Joint undertakings which entail SEMI
political considerations.
