LONDON, March 1.-THE Sunday
Special publishes from its Berlin CORE
spondent an interview with United
States Hmbassador White on the atti-
tude OF the United States toward Spain
and the Cuban situation.
ambassador White, according TO this
dispatch declared the statement that
tho United States had entered into an
alliance with England and Japan abso-
hitely without foundation. "The United
States" Mr.. White is reported to have
said, "will never bind herself by such
an alliance. President McISinley's ad-
ministration cannot act against the tra-
dition which forbids all such complica-
tlons in Americas international rela-
tlons. Least Of all will 1t do so for the
sake OF American interests in the far
east
''rhe fear Of war with Spain must not
he taken too seriously. The $50 900, 900
credit is no proof that the United States
Intends going to war, since the govern
ment had long demanded such a credit
for the purpose of harbor defense. This.
however, had been postponed owing to
the niggardly policy congress had hith-
erto pursued"
Characterizing as quite untrue" the
statement that the United States had
placed large orders with Herr Krupp.
Mr. White Is reported as adding.
America possesses ammunition of all
kinds and war material in the govern
mentl factories sufficient for every
emergency."

Of the situation and adding that on the
strength OF private advices that have

ing OF the Maine was not due to acci.
dent. that substantial evidence 10 this
effect has been discovered, but that

you sent it out. Years afterwards, it
may Fall into the hands Of your heirs,
and may lay at your door the charge

NO MORE TRADE CHECKS
Their Manufacture or Use Violation
Of Law

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Solioitor Maui
rice d. O'Connell of the Treasury has
rendered decision in which he holds that
the manufacture and distribution of alum
mum and brass trade checks" constitutes
a violation of the statute enacted February
10, 1884, which prohibits the manufacture
of metal or Its compound which In color.
design or inscription resembles coin of the
government. These trade checks, distrib-
uted largely by extensive business houses.
have attained such circulat ton among the
small towns and logging camps of Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Michigan that It Is DIFF
fcult to secure real money. In fact, II Is
said at the Treasury that contractors al
logging camps who own the stores at which
the inhabitants secure the necessaries of
life have inaugurated the system OF paying
off their employees with these checks to the
exclusion Of government. money. Federal
inspectors in these districts will be in
structed to seize illegal coins and to warn
distributors against manufacturing the
trade checks. If they persist In manufact-
uring and distributing them the guilty
ones will be vigorously prosecuted.

been a single wound inflicted with one of
these. The artillery carried bayonets,
