He declared the coun- try was spending too much on the army and navy.

ANNA IS STILL FREE,
Not Now Engaged to Any One,
 Declares Mme. Gould.
NO CONFERENCE ON MATCH.
Family Did Not Meet to Discuss Mat ter of Prince Helie de Sasan's Suit. Latter Calls Ex-countess a Very Clever Woman.

Clever Woman.
 New York, April s. - Mime. Anna Gould authorized the statement that She has no intention of marrying at sd to any one. The statement was made public by Tyler Morse, a close friend of the Gould family and at whose home in the Hotel St. Regis Mme. Gould was recently taken i'll while visiting Mrs. Morse Mime. Gould aas not yet definitely decided when she will go abroad. A denial is made that 1t the dinner at which MT. and Mrs. Edwin Gould entertained Mime. Gould he subject of the reported engagement pf Mime. Gould to Prince de Sagan was discussed. In an interview MT. Morse talked freely of the reported en- Iagement.
 T am authorized by Mime. Gould to yay that she had no idea or intention Df marrying at this time. I am fur .her authorized by her to say that she k not now engaged to any person whatsoever
 Talk of Family Conference Absurd.
 'rThat talk of family conference at which MEns. Gould won the consent of her relatives to wed the prince is tom myrot," he declared 'rrhe only per sons present at that dinner were Mme. Gould and MT and Mrs. Edwin tsould 1t was no conference at all, but merely . meeting between three members of a family. In any event. as there never has been any dispute between Mime. Gould and the other members of her family, why should there be a recon siliation, as detailed so graphically?
 'There have been frequent meetings between Mime Gould and the other members of her family. but no friction. They are not opposed to her marry ing, although 1t is true they have sug- kested the individuality of it. At the same time if Mme. Gould desires to wed there will be no opposition on the Rart of her family.
 "Whie Prince de Sagan is an avow- sd suitor of Mime. Gould. it by no means follows that he is the accepted one There are other Frenchmen eager to form a matrimonial alliance with Mime. Gould, but the prince is the most persevering of all. I should not be at all surprised if she never marries again. Her first experience was so unfortu- nate. At the same time she is more than twenty-one and can do as she pleases."
 Will Stay Here Awhile.
 Mir. Morse said Mime. Gould would remain in America three or four weeks ionger.~
 Prince Helie de Sagan said at his ho- tel that "Mme Gould and had thor ough understanding before she left Paris"
 The prince remarked that Mime. Gould 'is very clever woman, and I knew when she left Paris that she could confront all of her family and would be able to carry her point and do as she thought best in the matter"
