despite Chinas denial that the Russian
demands as to Port Arthur and Ta-Lien-
Wan were in the nature of an ultimatum,
maintained the correctness of his original
dispatch of Sunday last to the effect that
Russia had called upon China to surren-
der all sovereign rights upon Port Arthur
and Ta-Lien-Wan for the same period and
on the same condition as in the case OF
Germany at Kiao-Chou, giving her five
days for a reply, and insisting upon the
signing of an agreement within a month.

Cramp Says an Attempt Is Being Made
to Brighten America Into
Buying Ships.

Buying Ships.
Philadelphia. March 9-Charles H.
Cramp. head of the great shipbuilding
firm, says there is deliberate attempt un-
der way to frishten the United States into
buying ships it does not need and could
not use. He said: This clamor about
buying warships abroad is instigated by a
syndicate of Adventures who are trying
to get big commissions by helping Eng
lish and German shipbuilders to unload on
the United States q number Of unstable
vessels which they have built, either on
speculation or under contracts with various
second-rate powers that are not able to
pay for them. Such syndicates are always
formed at the beginning of all threatened
wars.
Briefly, this scheme is conspiracy on
the part of certain daring operators in this
country and England to take advantage of
the existing situation to force the hand of
congress and the administration"
Washington, March 9.-The administra-
tien has definite information from source

Independence.

Independence.
New Haven, Conn.,, March 9.-Professor
Arthur 7. Hadley. in his lecture to his
class Of political economy at Yale to-day
expressed his views on the present inter-
national difficulty between the United
States and Spain.
Professor Hadley reviewed at length
Spain's government of the Island of Cuba
and the atrocities practiced by General
Weyler, and also discussed the relations
Of business nature existing between
America and the Island of Cuba He
called Consul General Lee a very efficient
man. at first somewhat indiscreet, espe-
cially under the Cleveland administration,
but now more cautious and noted more
for efficiency than sense of form" Contin-
ling. Professor Hadley said, as to the
Maine disaster: mo proof of foul play has
come to light. In the matter of inter-
national comfy, recognition of Cuban in
dependence would be equivalent to a dec
laration of war. 1t is a principle of IN
ternational law that so long as Spain has
not ceased to wage war in Cuba and SO
long as the insurgents are not in posses
sion of a we'll defined territory and pre-
serving order there, the United States is
not justified in recognizing Cuba's inde-
pendence. We might, by stretching 4
point, recognize the Cubans as belliger-
ents. as England recognized the Confed-
crate states during the civil war.
If such recognition were accorded just
now, it would probably precipitate war 1
