TROUBLE FOR CUBA.
1t is Deferred for Time by the Ac.
ton of the United states.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-The state de-
partment has rendered an opinion TO
the effect that the United States gov
eminent cannot intervene In favor Of
Porto Rico in the matter Of her claim
against Cuba for S2,500000. The Span
ish government raised a loan to this
amount from the Porto Ricans to help
prosecute military operations In Cuba,
basing the loan upon the revenues OF
the latter island In substance the de-
clslon Of the United States government
is to the effect that leaving aside the
question Of equity in this case. to sane
ton the collection Of this claim against
cuba would now be to open the door
to numberless other and larger claims,
which would exhaust the financial re-
sources OF the island.
IL Is known TO the authorities that
most OF the claims were sought TO be
included in the treaty Of peace at
Paris, but resolutely excluded by the
United states commissioners, are not
regarded by the claimants as dead by
any means, but are simply held in
allegiance to be presented and enforced
by the full powers OF foreign govern
ments, II they can be evoked by the
claimants, as soon as the United States
control Of the island ceases.

WARNING AMERICANS.
English Papers Talk of Less Good
Feeling With this Country.

New York. Dec. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
If the English people were bent upon
taking a serious view Of the Nicara-
guam canal question, as apparently they
are, they would not be confused by the
contradictory views of the New York
correspondents who are far apart as the
North and South Poles, and are utter
~ irreconcilable. The Westminster
Gazette takes the Standard correspon-
dent as a guide and seeks TO inter-
pref the action OF the Senate for the
benefit Of the English readers, II has
reached the conclusion with the most
benevolent possible motives towards
America that the treaty cannot be
abolished by being described as being
inconyenient or out of date, and that
the only practicable method Of settling
the yeXatious canal question Is that of
arranging some kind Of compensation
for the abrogation OF the convention Of
1880. The Alaskan boundary question
is named as a quid pro quo and the
foreign Office was urged 10 take up this
method Of adjusting all outstanding is
sues with the United States. This
suggestion is made by the friendliest Of
English journals This was considered
a great gain for the American govern
ment before Premier Laurier stepped
aside and allowed the question to be
adjusted between Washington and
London without interference from OF
tawa. The best thing that the friend
Hest critics now have 10 offer Is an
omnibus settlement in which the abro-
cation Of the treaty OF 1850 is the single
entry, with ample offsets to balance
the account.
The Standard In referring to the Nj
caragua canal question, thinks it would
be a pity If the good understanding
between England and America should
be weakened. Much has happened Of
late, II says, to warn Americans, as
well as Englishmen, that they may
have to rely upon each other in future
for mutual assistance and 10 strength

common culture which link them to
one another

Londos sun is Not Original.

New York, Dec, lS.--A dispatch TO the
Tribune from London says
Joseph Parker's reproduction Of
Sheldon's career as a daily journalist
Is not remarkable for originality. To-
days Sun has all the news Of the day,
criminal and otherwise, and more adj
yertising than usual. The chief inno-
walton is the substitution Of a series OF
"City Temple sermonettes' for the ordi-
nary column of editorial paragraphs.
These begin with the frank confession
that no editor has charter from heaven
10 regard himself as a Moses or Paul
OF the daily press, and end with the
practical moral that hogging is the true
cure for "Hoollganism. and that the
magistrates should use the cat In whip
ping the offending Adam out Of street
brawlers. The most striking feature Of
this fresh example OF daily journalism
conducted on religious principles Is a
series Of Bible texts printed under the
head --latest news usually over the
betting forecasts beginning with The
wages of sin Is death and rounded out,
slngularly enough, with brief records OF
a breach OF promise case and a police
raid upon gaming house. In paral-
lel column appear the market quota
lions showing that Americans are
buoyant. and the editors proclamation
