Not Meant For Senator Cannon

1t will be remembered that when Sen
ator Cannon of Utah was making his
Cuban speech he was interrupted in the
midst of his remarks with an audible
That's a lie" He turned around, and
with evident Indignation protested
against such denial of one of his as
sertions. His protest was addressed tc
Representatives Moody and Barrett
both of Massachusetts, who were talking
to each other while leaning against the
wall of the senate chamber The story
of the conversation has since become
known.
Mr.. Barrett, meeting Mr.. Moody, be-
gan with the remark that he had been
engaged in looking after the affairs OF
Moody's constituents. "They have kept
me very busy" said Mr.. Barrett.
"Why did they not come to me?" asked
Moody.
Because they said they could never
find you in your seat in the house." re-
piled Barrett.
'Well, that's a lie," sharply retorted
Moody in tone so loud that Senator
Cannon overheard him, and the sensa-
tional rebuke followed. - Washington

SPAIN AND FRANCE
Has the Former Nation an Ally in
EuropeP

Two London newspapers, the Spec
tator and the Saturday Review, neither
of which is friendly to Spain, express the
belief that the Madrid government has
been assured of assistance from France
in the event of war with the United
States. They attribute to an apprehen-
sion of danger from this source the al
legged reluctance of our executive to take
any measures in behalf of the Cuban
revolutionists that might bring about
conflict between this country and Spain.
We do not think that there has ever
been any ground for such a belief, and
we are confident that there is none now.
There is no doubt that the major portion
of the Spanish bonds, based on the reve-
nues of Cuba, are held in France, and it
is quite conceivable that the bondholders
would like the French government to
pursue a course that would tend to avert
the annihilation of their securities. 1t is
also true that the great banking houses
of Paris have exercised in late years
much more influence in ministerial cir
cles than they possessed when French

can it be denied that almost the whole of
the Paris press, notoriously venal as It
is, has been induced to plead the cause
Of Spain and to carp at the United
States ever since the recognition of

A Follower of Berry Wall

7. Louis Onativia, or, as he was more
Familiarity called, "Cito" Onativia, was
the only man after E. Barry Wall had
abdicated who ever made a determined
and partly successful effort to take his
place as the leader in New York of men
who devote themselves to dress. Mr..
Onativia had money enough to accom-
plish his ambitions, and after several
years of rather unsuccessful efforts he
finally came to be quite as well dressed
as he had fancied himself to be from the
outset. During the earlier stages of his
struggle toward the supremacy which
Mr.. Wall had laid aside, Mr.. Onativia
was a repl sentative of the American
school of dressing, and he always pre-
sented the best that New York tailors
could do. But he later began to draw on
London and when he followed the exam
pie of his illustrious predecessor and
gave up dressing merely for it's own
sake, he had for several years repre-
sented the most successful transfer of
London fashions to this country that
Fifth avenue ever saw. He abandoned
his elaborate clothes and his horses sim
ultaneously and left for the west about
two years ago. There the differences
between him and his wife were finally
adjusted by means of a divorce, and Mr.
Onaivia started on trip around the
world. Before that his engagement was
announced to Mrs. Harry Jerome, whom
he married on Wednesday in Cairo. Mrs.
Onativia, who is a native of San Fran
cisco, was separated from her first hus-
band two years ago. 1t is said that she
and Mr.. Onativia met in Westchester
county, where Mrs. Jerome, as she was
at that time, was then visiting friends

LIBERTY OR REVENGEp
Woodenleg Might Have Got Out of Jail
but Didn't

Two one-legged men We're confined re-
Gently in Jail in little eKntucky town.
One had a wooden leg and the other,
who was a greater rascal and had had
more means at his command, wore cork
leg. Apparently we'll behaved and quiet,
both men got the privilege of the pris-
oners' walk which ran around the out
side of the cells. Beyond this was the
jailer's walk and beyond that was
freedom.
The cork-legged man was really des-
perate character, but sly and cunning.
He meditated much on the relation of the
jailer's walk to the outside world. 1t
was only a step farther he facetiously
told his companion, who admired his
humor. In some manner he became pos
sessed of a file, with which he converted
a caseknfe into a saw. With this he sue
ceeded in saving in two one of the bars
of his cell. He made confidant of his
fellow prisoner, who expected to join him
in his escape. The plan was so we'll con-
cealed that finally nothing but one iron
bar, which could easily be sawed in two
during the night, stood between them
and liberty.

ers' pocket-on the side where he didn't
feel-found that Corkleg had deliber-
ately robbed him of his pile. five dollar
bill. He hesitated a moment. Freedom
is sweet; he knew that because he had
been deprived of it's joys. But revenge
to him was sweeter. Just as his COM
panion, flushed with success, was al
most ready to step out into the wide,
wide world, Woodenleg squealed, and
the escape was frustrated.
The two are still confined in the Jail,

The censorship of the papers is too
strict to allow much expression of opin-

Gomez is in Santa Clara province
and is nearer communication with the
outside world than he has been for
months. His answer, which is rejec-
ton of every proposition not based on
absolute independence, may be received
at any time. After that, nothing re-
mains for Spain except the mediation OF
the United States, or, if not mediation

Senator Proctor who has been looking
into the situation, finds condition ripe
for mediation but how it is to come un-
less Spain is willing he does not know.
In common with others, he finds grounds
for believing that little friction would
be experienced in Cuba in making the
arrangements. The Senator has studied
the political complications in Havana.
He understands the embarrassmen of
Captain General Blanco and the gov
ernment. He also has made short
trip into the tobacco districts and among
the sugar plantations. He says it is his

structive state of affairs to an end. Sem

future most fully.
The present need of the island is peace

In some places in the interior an i'm
proved showing is made because the in
surgents are permitting plantations to
begin operations that heretofore have
been idle. But this improvement is
local. Taken generally, the agricul-
tural prospects are growing worse and
the era of desoation broadens. More
over, the people in the interior receive
none of the food and medicine contrib

tribution is limited to Havana and the
towns in it's immediate vicinity.
OBJECTION TO LEE
MADRID, March 5.-The Epoca, a
sober-minded Conservative paper, says:
We believe that just in the same man
ner as the Washington government act
ed in the case of Senor De LONE which
was case much less grave, SO should
Senior Cullen declare the case of Cen
Lee. The relations of that officer with
the insurrectionists and his mainte-
nance in Havana are prejudicial to the
good relations of Spain and the United
States.

| Nevertheless, we do not believe thai
even six months ago, when, as yet, the
anti-Semitic agitation had attained nc
| considerable momentum, the French
government would have ventured to
promise support to Spain in the event OF
war with our republic. President
Faure and Premier Meline are known to
regard us with cordial friendship, and,
even were their feelings inimical, they
would be constrained to conceal them,
for a large majority of the chamber of
deputies are bound to US by the ties of
ardent traditional sympathy and therein
ara truly representative of the mass of
the French nation.
Improbable, however. as was at any
time the conclusion of an alliance be-
tween France and Spain at the instiga-
ton of French investors in Spanish Sc
curities, such transaction is now i'm
possible, for the principal holders of these
bonds are among the chief targets of
the anti-Semitic agitation which, in
famed to fury by the Zola trial, has ex-
posed them to threats of personal vio-
lence. No international combination,
presumed to be in their interest, could
have at this conjuncture the slightest
chance of success. In the present tenn
per of the Paris populace, the query Cui
bono? would be fatal to a proposal of
cooperation with Spain against the
United States, and, probably, would
place its advocates in a dangerous pre-
dicament.
We believe, then, that even If France
We're in position to act independently,
instead of being compelled to heed the
suggestions of another power as re-
CARDS her foreign policy, there would
still be no grounds for the predictions
of the Spectator and the Saturday Re-
view. The reasons, however, for dis
crediting their pessimistic forecast are
immensely fortified by the fact that no
step in the direction of a coalition with
Spain would be taken by France with
out predatory consultation with Russia.

LONDON, March 5.-Further inquiries
made on the subject confirm the report
cabled yesterday of the sale of the two
cruisers which the Armstrong; have
been building for Brazil to Spain. The
inquiries further show tnat a repre-
sentative OF the Chilean government has
been negotiating with a representative
of the Spanish government for the sale
of the battleship OHiggins, built for
Chile, and it is expected that Il deal is
practically completed whereby this
splendid warship passes into Spain S

1t is known that the Chilean repre-
sentative made offer to Spain recently,
but the price was considered too high
and Spain made a counter offer. 1t is
now understood that they have now
come to terms.
