Treaty ia 0ne-s,ded.

Washington. oct. 14-Informat lion from Cuba that there is growing dis satisfaction with the terms of the Anglo Cuban treaty, has developed here the fact that the Washington govern ment thoroughly appreciates the req sons of the Cuban people for objecting to the treaty. The official view here is that the treaty is distinctly disadvant- ageous to Cuba in that 1t precludes that country from renewing with the United States her reciprocity treaty. which un- der the present arrangement Is effect i've only for five years. The Anglo Cuban treaty, 1t Is pointed out, gives practically no benefits to Cuba and shuts herself off from receiving advant- ageous treatment at the hands of the United Sttaes.

GERMANY IS AROUSED.
Popular Distrust of Great Britain

Popular Distrust of Great Britain
 swcIls to Great Proportions.
 Berlin, Oct i4--The disclosure in France of alleged British offers of alliance against Germany are so thor oughly believed here that the pow erful naval league with its 6e.o00 mem- bers Is already moving for a new naval program that shall further in- crease Germany's defensive resources against Great Britain.
 Popular distrust of Gre Britain has naturally swollen to great proportions, and the semi official denial in London can scarcely overcome the conviction now formed that Germany had n mar row escape from a war in which a1- though she would have been victorious on land. would have resulted in her betnk crushed at sea and damaged along the coast with the consequent destruction of her over-sea commerce. The events of the last four months have silenced the opponents of na- val increase except the socialists and radicals.
 While time and money beyond Ger manys resources ,S uld be necessary to equal Great Britains great navy. not to speak of her future buildings, yet the feeling is that Germany must for defensive build as many more ships as the country's finances wna bear. The government some months ago decided to introduce in the reichstag a measure substituting large for small cruisers in the authorized naval pro- gram. Whether the government will increase the recommendations beyond this, is not yet known.

Harmand. the French minister at Tokio. to inform the Japanese government that the Elm peror had today signed the peace treaty thus completing Russia's part in the conclusion of peace between that coun- try and Japan.
 Early In the day the Foreign office received a notification from St. Pe- tersburg that Emperor Nicholas would probably sign the treaty during the day and would ask France to commit nicate the fact of ratification to Japan.
 Premier Rouvier accordingly re- mained in his office throughout the day for the purpose of immediately trans hitting the message. Notice of the signing of the treaty in St. Petersburg did not reach here until 6 o'clock this evening. when the Russian embassy re- Nicholas had affixed his signature to the document and requesting that France be asked to transmit the infor nation to Japan.

Great Britain Really to Aid

Military Assistance Not OMcialIy E.rsun. ised, But London Made Knewn Her Frienaship fer the
 French Republic.

Paris, Oct. 14.-Public opinion has been wrought up during the present week by alleged revelations of Great Britain's readiness to invade Germany on behalf of France.
 These revelations following the Franco-Ger controversy over Mo- rocco and the open declaration of Prince von Buelow. the German Imperial Cham ce;lor. favorable to Russo-German Impeachment. created feeling that France was the center of dangerous enmitfes and coalitions
 Although the disclosures did not re- ceive the slightest official recognitfons they became the theme for discussion throughout Europe and the intimations was responsible for them led to violent attacks against him. a journal going so far as to acue him of treason.
 M. Delcasse's repudiation of the re- ports followed by the semt-odicfal noto of Friday saying that the published re- ports upon the incidents accompanying the resignation of M. Dslcasse and not ably the details regarding the Cabinet council proceeding his resignation arc inexa:t," pricksd the sensational bub- bie: but 1t had none the less served to excite intense political bitterness In the highest circles ard disclosed. the sen- sitivsness of French statesmen to the tnhuauNcTs oA NdftouS ssuEoRchn RVWct1 to readjust their ententes at the ex- pense of France.
 From the mass of contradictory rev-. citations and denials the fact stands out that the Morocco controversy took Germany and France dangerously near the verge of war and that Great Britain.' while not officially promising military. aid. stood ready to give France her, loyal support.
 The bitterness aroused by the inci- dent Is indicated by the calling of a special meeting of the association of the Parisian press for October IS to consider ehargss made that certain Journals are under the influence and in the pay of foreign governments.

BLnNK MAY SUCCEED cHAPFELLE
This is the Belief That Prevails in
 Porto Rico.

. H
 San Juan, P. R.. Oct. 14.-The priests of Porto Rico are in the belief that they are apt to lose Bishop Blenk. who in December next will have pre- sided over this diocese for six years. through his appointment to the rank of Ashbishop. The belief is that a meeting of bishops will soon be held at New Orleans and that the outcome of this will be recommendation to the Vatican for the elevation of Monsignor Blenk to the archbishopric of New Or- leans.
 As an indication of his ability to as sume the office made vacant by the death of Archbishcp Chapelle. 1t Is pointed out here that Bishop Blenk lived In New Orleans practically all his life. was a parish priest there and the professor of a college in the arch-dio- cese. He was also a member of the council of Mensignor Chapelle, who was his close friend and thoroughly understotj the needs of the arch-dio- cese. Bibhop Blenk is known to be highly thought of at the Vatican.
 All the previous archbishops of New Orleans have been Frenchmen or of French extraction. because the Vatican believed the condition there required a prelate who spoke French. Bishop Blenk speaks French as fiuently as he does English and this. 1t is believed, will weigh In his favor.
 Monsignor Bienk was offered the archbishopric of Porto Rico about . year ago. but declined the office.
 Although universal opinion among the clergy here is that Monsignor Blenk will be made an archbishop with in six months. he today said he knew absolutely nothing concerning the mat ter.

NO OFFER or ALLIANCE.
Great Brffain's Denial is Accepted n
 Good Faith,

Berlin, Got. b.--The North German Gazette prints in It's columns this morning a semi-officiai paragraph re- garding The Mathis revelations. It exonerates the French government fuI- 1y of any connection with the so-caIled revelations and accepts frankly the British governments denial of an of-, fered alliance, as given in dispatch to the Associated Press from London Friday. The article continues:
 we can state that the British gov ernment spontaneously sent here communication of similar contents and it was received on the German side with the same loyalty with which it was given. An incident between Ger many in Great Britain has not been created by the assertions of The Matin. Moreover, Great Britain's communica- tion was marked confidential and ac- cording to the wishes of the London government 1t cannot be made pub lic."
 The article says further that all as- sertions that Germany asked the French or British governments for expfana- tions regarding the statements of the Paris newspapers are incorrect and that such a step would not be in ac- cord with diplomatic courtesy. con- sidering the form the publications have taken, nor would it harmonize with the loyal sentiments which we accord are the intentions of the French and British statesmen"

Castro Not Amenable to
 Ordinary Procedure.
NO DIPLOMATIC RUPTURE
Would Result Merely in
 Further Discontinue.
France is Resolved to Give venesuels Time to Come to Her Senses Be- fore She Takes vigor-
 eus Action.

Paris, Oct. 15.-The view prevails in official quarters that a month may eiapse before a decision is reached, as to what steps shall be taken against Venezuela.
 This indicates that there Is a desire on the part of France to give Presi- dent Castro ample opportunity to make amends and to exhaust all diplomatic recourse before resorting to other means.
 French officials first considered with drawing M. Taigny, the charge d'af- fairs at Caracas, and the severing of diplomatic relations with Venezuela, and this would have been done if yene- zuela were country amenable to ordi- nary procedure.
 It was recognized, however. that a severance of relations would not com pei President Castro to settle the qeus- tions between France and vcnezula. but on the contrary would leave French in terests there without the protection of legation and therefore the thought of diplomatic rupture was given up and France Is seeking with the co-opera- ton of the United States to devise a means for diplomatic adjustment of the situation with President Castro.
 This is progressing so slowly that officials here are beginning to foresee that stronger measures will be neces- sary.

 of Royalty.

Columbus, O., Oct. 14.--By letter just received from Tacloban. in the Philippines, from the Rev. c E. Rath, one of the representatives of the Pres byterian board of foreign missions in the. islands. it Is evident that the Fili- pinos were rather disappointed in Miss Alice Roosevelt. They had their imaginations all wrought up about the way she would appear" says Mir. Rath. They had pictured her in a royal robe sparkling with jewels, a crown on her head and with everything that should go with royalty. What they saw was a young American woman in very plain white dress with a sailor hat and no display of jewelry. Some of them in fact did not see her, or if they did, did not recognise her as the daughter of the President, for they were looking for emblems of royalty. I am glad she came to us as she did. for she could have done nothing better to illustrate the democratic spirit of America. -
