there are some difficulties in the way Of
having things just as we want them. We
couldn't take those islands without get

"Do the people on those islands want
to belong TO Europe?"
Yes. most of them do"

"Oh, / don't know, unless it is because
they think belonging to Europe is more

nunciation of America.
LONDON, May 25.-In the newspapers
to-day there are several striking in
stances OF American and anti-American
feeling. While the majority Of the pa
pers allude with pleasure to the refer
ences to the Queen in yesterdays cele-
| brations at New York and Tampa, and
| in the prayer OF the chaplain of the SEN
| ate, the Morning Post has allowed TO ap-
| pear in it's columns violent denuncia-
| ton of America from Stewart Erskine,
a brother of Baron Erskine, who alludes
| to Americas present immoral warfare
against Spain,"' and asserts that the SEN
| timent of the country which is worth
having is for Spain.
! ST. JAMES GAZETTE CHANGES.
On the other hand, the st. James Ga
zette, which has hitherto been bitterly
| anti-American, seems to be becoming
much more friendly. 1t says, regarding
the disposition TO blame America for the
Slow progress Of the war: Sailors who
know the Pacific and the Caribbean seas
are well aware that delay is the essence
OF a naval war. They remember that
Nelson found it difficult to discover the
Spanish fleet somewhere between Ja-
maica and Cadiz. and they realize that
this slow procession is not interesting.
But the presence OF the gunboats around
the sullen island means that the Amerf-
can officers are getting the range OF
every gun of the batteries that will later
oppose the landing of the troops, just as
Nelson did on a similar occasion"
WANTS DISTINCT UNDERSTANDING.
The Westminster Gazette strongly adj
vocates a distinct understanding between
the United States and Great Britain. 1t
says:
THE Americans are not going TO step
out of their continent without raising a
variety of questions which will involve
them with the European Powers. Their
Monroeism, in so far as it relates to
South America, is likely to be
questioned anew, and a European
squeeze is likely to be applied 10
them from many parts. Therefore, 1t is
highly desirable for them, as we'll as for
US that there should be a British-Ameri-
can understanding, and 1t behooves both
countries to consider betimes some OF
