TO GEORGE SPAIN.


Afrnid Of the Growth and Develop
mpnt of the United Stntcs.
London. April 30.--The Vienna CORE
spondent Of the Standard says: The inter
est OF Russia In the war is evidenced hY
which was soon taken UP by thor coll
leagues at Berlin. Paris and Vienna. that
the first real naval battle must be used
for ending the war. which practically
means pressure on Spain to give UP Cuba,
because II the war lasts too long it Is
thought the United States might create a
powerful navy. That Russia should allow
the United States TO retain the Philippians
without ample compensation 10 Russia and
her allies appears as doubtful as that the
islands should be allowed to fall into the
hands OF England by arrangement with
the United States with such differences
arising as might easily lead TO war among
the great powers.
London, April 80 The Moscow CORE
sspondcnt OF the Standard says Public opin.
ion in Russia, so far as Il is expressed,
sympathizes with Spain Apart from nd
miration OF the courage that ventures upon
Il conflict with an overwhelmingly superior
antagonist, Russia has received a severe
blow in the suspected friendly agreement
between the United States and England.
The Russians do not forget placing their
fleet at the disposal OF the North In the
war of secession in 1851 and they are bit
terly aggrievcd that the United States Is
not equally mindful OF this service.

MT. Jacob Freiberg returned Sat urday from New York where he pur- chased large stock of spring and summer goods for the Grand Leader. He says that the metropolis is con- siderably excited over the war news and that the opinion prevails in the East that there will be war between this country and Spain. As q re- suit. he says. there is great dullness in the markets and the. ship owners are afraid to take big consignments. for in the event of war the shipping interests would be the first to suffer The war feeling is accentuated in New York, he also says, by the sen sational publica ti0ns in the new spa pers. and by the fact that nearly ev- cry theater closes it's performance by singing such songs as Hail Colum- bia," and other National airs, which set the people wild.
