There is much talk of a big theatrical
trust to acquire and erect theaters In
the great provincial centers and to
produce new plays. The capital Is said
to be Gb00,O00, and the venture IL re-

American plays and players are at

SPAIN AND AUSTRIA TRY IT.
Great Britain Persists in the Refusal to Join
the Movement.
LONDON PAPER RAvlNG AGAINST U. S,
and Put n Straight Waistcoat
On This Country.

London, April 1G.-The Spanish and
Austrian ambassadors again attempted
today to persuade Great Britain to join
the powers in further representations re
ceiving little encouragement.
The diplomatic corps has abandoned
hope of effectual meditation.
The St James Gazette this afternoon
published an article headed an Anti
American Holy Alliance" during which
1t says:
THE reports of European interfer-
ence In the Cuban question are dis
tinctly the most interesting news, be-
cause 1t Is now plain that nothing can
prevent war. except such intervention.
The United States has gone too far to
recede. America wants to fight and
so far as we can see, American will
be going wrong, not through its states
men, but through national hysteria.
1T is exasperating to those who wish
peace. and the end in Cuba of Spanish
nllsrule, to see American passion
throwing away what American states
inanship has won. There Is therefore
obviously an opportunity for the fore
ibie intervention of the powers, or some
of them.
THE position of Great Britain is such
an eventuality is delicate one. but
from the point of view of France, Italy,
Austria and Germany, it must be all
lowed that dhe plea of Spain could
hardly fail on deaf ears. Senior Sa-
