London, March 15.-The Vienna corre-

abstract OF an article in the st. Peters

deserves attention as giving an ac-
curate account OF the views and inten-
tions of at least three Of the great
powers" The correspondent says:
THE. article asserts that the United
States is well aware that in declaring
war against Spain they could not count
upon the approval of any of the Eu-
ropean powers. All. IL alleges. would
sympathiZe with Spain, IL not actively.
certainly by categorical protest against
President McKinley's conduct. This is
also well known at Madrid.
Therefore" adds The Novoe Vre-
mya writer. 'it is hoped that Spain will
not fall into the trap laid by Washing
ton, for she has so far no serious grounds
for declaring war, anr measures should
Immediately be taken In order that she
may not have such grounds in the fu-
ture.
THE European representatives will
notify the Washington government OF
their opinion that war is not desirable,

sent TO congress by Secretary Alger.

WANTS NO RELATION TO SPAIN.

Philadelphia, March 15.-Dr. John
Guiteras. the representative Of the Gu
ban junta in this city, In an open letter.
discusses the published statement that
there is a project on foot to settle the
Cuban question on basis of autonomy.
'The plan" says Dr. Guiteras, suggests
for Cuba all the privileges now enjoyed
by Canada. cannot believe that such a
plan is entertained by the United States
government, and / feel that an appeal
should be made to public opinion to pro-
nounce itself against the contamination
OF such a sacrifice"
He holds that there are two reasons
why the plan of forcing autonomy should
not be observation-disclosures IL would not
be right and because IL would not be
possible. In support of the first reason
he says the English flag In Canada
means conciliation, prosperity, prog
ress; IL means participation in one of the
grandest evolutionary movements OF the
human race" while in Cuba the Spanish
flag signifies devastation, ruin, mur-
der 1t signifies participation in move
ment of decadence and degeneration that
has no parallel In history" He then de-
clares that II would not be honorable
In any way dependent upon a govern
ment which has made systematic star
walton a procedure OF war and which
under a military authority has pursued
a policy OF determination. He quotes the
letter written by exMinister De LONE
In which he refers 10 him as Spain's
trusted representative declaring the plan
Of autonomy to be farce.
or the second reason he says: "You
can wipe the power of Spain from the
seas; you can crush. the island and her
people under our hand. but you can
not force autonomy on the Cuban people,
Their contention for separation from
Spain is too just; the gap between them
Is too deep; the debt of blood, failure
and desolation is too great; and there is
not shadow OF community OF interests
that can holdNogether what everything
tends to disrupt You can force a tenn
porary peace, but Spanish domination
in any form, never War, with all its
horrors, will constantly recur."
