IN FIG ARU's TYPICAL STYLE.
French journal Prints an Anti
American Dispatch From Russia.

PARIS. June I-Tha Figaro publishes
the following dispatch from ST. Peters
burg:
Public attention in Russia is chiefly de-
voted 10 the incidents Of the Spanish
American war. Sympathv here leans
more towards Spain than towards Amer
tea, 50 there was naturally much sorrow
over The naval disaster AT Cavite. and
now there is rejoicing ar the small sue
cesses OF the army IN Cuba
Russia IS also dscussing the future OF
the Philippines, which il is feared VIII fan
entirely Into The power OF the United
States, or be shared between America and
England. Regarding this. the RUSSIAN
press thinks that 4 division OF The islands
would cause great prejudice 70 the inter-
esis CT Russia, which could not tolerate
such a step. unless she We're given her
share in the archipelago. If su.l a di-
vision takes place. the maintenance OF
peace will be seriously threatened, for it
would be difficult 10 conciliate the inter-
ests of the several great powers sharing
in the division
Mr. Chamberialns speech produced q
very bad impression in Russia in political
circles as We'll as III the press AMI among
the people OF St. Petersburg. Happily.
the speech was soon smothered down by
the attitude of Lord Salisbury and that
OF large majority Of the English papers.
whose language proved that the chief Of
the colonial office. as usual was present
ing his personal policy. which would be
only supported in England by limited
number of partisans. The United States
has no more interest in seeking a con-
fiict with Russia than has Russia i'll seek
ing one with her. There is no antasonism
Of any sort between the two powers.
Therefore. one cannot see anything in
them TO cause alarm.
All one can see in them is an attempt
made By this turbulent and ambitious per-
sonage to give more prominence 10 his
personality. which he doubtless finds too
much effaced by the imposing figure Of
Lord Salisbury.
