CHANGING RUSSIAN OPINION.
Uncle Sans Friends Now Have the
Russian Ear.

New York, April 19.-The antagon
ism OF Russia to the United States has
been a remarkable feature of the pres
ent crisis, says the London correspond
ent of the World
The World correspondent has the
most trustworthy authority for stating
that the utterances of Spanish tenden-
cies of the Russian official press will
be modified, and that within very
few days these journals may be expect
ed to take a more enlightened view of
Americas action.
The pending change will be the re-
suit of an unofficial Intervention Of in
fuential sympathizers with the United
States, who. within the past few days,
have been in d position to convince
a Russian diplomatist who has the ear
of Foreign Minister Muravieff of the
immediate change in policy Of recent
Russian declarations.
