REVAMPS OLD CONTROVERSY
EnsIIhh Press opens New Chapter I'm
spanish War AFFAIR fin view
of Princes Visit.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-The weekly reviews
make the impending arrival Of Admiral
Prince Henry OF Prussia at New York the
occasion Of another chapter OF, the Spanish
war controversy. The Spectator reviews at
length the whole story Of the diplomatic ex-
change, with a view of controverting what
It claims as 1.-The distortion Of the actual
facts by the German press"
The paper disclaims any attempt to mar
the reception Of Prince Henry. but declares
that both Englishmen and Americans see
through Germany's game and refuse to be
mislead by the inspired attempts to un-
dermine their friendships and understand
ing. A fact which will be written down
by the historian, says the Spectator, is as
well recognized today as II will ever be.
That IL, that England used her influence,
and the Americans know she used II, on
the side OF the United States as against
those who wished to take sides with Spain.
"a test of the attitude toward America
during the war displayed by England and
Germany respectively is found in the re-
s~pective attitude of the English and Ger
man squadrons toward Admiral Dewey In
Manila bay. The Germans nearly fired on
the Americans. II they had done SO the
English would have acted. on the American
aide"
The Outlook treats the matter lightly. II
HAys that Emperor william, as in China,
uses Prince Henry as bait for the Ger
man. hook. Neither Prince Henry OF his
brother. the emperor. will ever succeed in
weakening the substantial grounds on which
AnEio-American oo-operation now rests.
In the same connection the outlook ex-
presses great satisfaction as to Secretary
Hays note to Russia, and commends 1t as a
strons document, which gains additional
force from its disposal Of old-fashioned d.
pIomAey."

pufaues lite customary anti-American
course and roundly abuses the government
for being drawn into this fresh "humiliat-

The Saturday Review declares that ths

President Mckinley. as they show he fol.

"AII Ia WelI."


QUEENsTowN, Feb. 21.-A wireless tel
ekfaph message was received at $3.50 p. m.
from Lucania, thirty miles west Of Fastnet.
Lucania reported that in latitude 1850
north, longitude IS :1s west 1t was in COM

Lloyd steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm and ex-
changed greetings with Prince Henry, who

''All well."
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The position given
in Lucania's wireless dispatch seems to
Indicate that Kron Prinz Wilhelm, contrary
to the reports circulated that on leaving
Bremen 1t had instructions to proceed
over the northern or shorter course, is
coming over the southern course, which is
longer by almost- 400 miles. II the vessel
is taking that course 1t would, under or
binary conditions, be about four hours be-

shorter course. In the latitude indicated
the courses of the northern and southern
routes are over 200 miles apart, and II

course it is doubtful II Lucania could have
communicated with 1t.

BERLIN, Feb. 21,-The repeated at

London representing Emperor William az

South and vest Of New York telegraph

In the afternoon, and although conditions
improved somewhat between New York and
Chicago late in the evening, communication
by wire with Philadelphia and Baltimore
vas cut on absolutely. Slow communication
was restored with Washington by way Of
Atlanta.
The sleet and rain freezing on the wires

suit OF sleet storms, and while no par
tlcular damage was reported from sAny

The only way in which messages could be
