He has Just written to Lord Salis bury, stating that Dr. Chauncey uepew is not an authority on the attitude of Americans toward England. "Mr. Depew." he said, "haa ben trying to make the English believe that the American people are very antagonistic to England and that as a people they have a very bitter feeling against the mother country. This is not at all the case.

I dare say there are people In this country who are very hostile to England, but the better class of American cltliens entertain the most friendly feelings toward England.

This, according to some, dlsoounu the lvalue of his utterances on tha Cuban question- as being- dictated by sympathy. A4 cording to others it gives them peculiar value as being based upon private Information of special importance. Ha baa Just returned from a flying visit to the country when he was seen by a Herald correspondent thli morning. He was very sanguine of the i ultimate victory of the Cuban insure- ents and was characteristically outspoken condemnation of the Spanish 0f" ernment and tha Spanish tactics of ttiie Spanish officials, both military and clvO.

He counts unon the United 8tates being i forced to help the Cubans finally. "My opinions." he said, "are too well kniiwn to require repetition. The Insurgents are certainly right In the object fr which they are fighting and they will i certainly secure their freedom. I am In -a position to know, through the relations'! have with the Cuban both here In France and In the Islgjfd, that the ynooBEss or th revolctiom jl Is satisfactory from the Insurgents' point of ilew. Spain Is getting deeper and deeper Inll tha mire every day.

Her finances are Ju a hopeless state of Insolvency. She Is about to attempt to raise another loan, an attempt which la doomed to failure. Even La Haute Itanque cannot save the aituatton.

We are not afraid of Of' course, Europe was not afraid. Greece Is la very little country, and has only ta spirit and courage to depend upon. But'in thit case of Cuba It Is quite another matter.

The reports we and tnat are published in the papers telling about the Spanish victories are, for the most part, written In Parla.

and have about. as much foundation as though some one were to talk about a victory in the moon. "The insurgent spirit, then, being in- daunaed. and General Weyler being powerless, it only remains to be seen what action the United States will take that is to say, will President McKlnley keep his promise. either in whole, or In part? If he does, then Cuba will be free within a very short tpne.

and I do not think It likely that President McKlnley will not tske some action In ion-ni-rtlon with this question that will preclpi-ate a crisis. It Is certain that Spain wlll not dare to go to war with the United States. As I said before, she has no money. She haa not even money enough to charter ransports, and certainly her finances are not satisfactory enough for her to pay; her troops. 'Thus after carefully reviewing for sand acalnst the question, I am firmly convinced that Cuban liberty is not very farforr.

The Marquis of Peralos. on behalf of the dissident Conaervativee, declared that un der the circumstances they felt compelled absent themselves until the Liberals bad received -satisfaction. In the Chamber of Deputies the Premier repeated the statement he had made In the Senate, adding that he regretted the absence of the UberaJs because It prevented Senor Sagasta from defending himself against certain accusations arising out of erroneous interpretation of one of his speeches. Senor Canovas referred to the bad Impression which had been produced this way at Washington, where, he said.

seemed to be supposed that the sale of Cuba was a possible thing-. "Spain," said Senor Canovas, "Is not a nation of mer chants, capable of selling Its honor." Senor Francisco Sllvela, leader of the dis sident Conservatives In the chamber, who quarreled with Senor Canovaa in lttl over expediency of reforming the municipal abuses In Madrid, accused the Duke of Tet uan of a grave error, which could not be righted by a few eloquent words. He aald Foreign Minister ought to expiate his offense by resigning. In the course of his speech he described the action of the United States In recognising the belligerency of the Cuban Insurgents aa a "great iniquity?" and characterized the d.plomatlc conduct of the Government aa altogether blameworthy. adding an expression of his doubt aa to the Intelligence of Senor Canovaa in retaining Duke of Tetuan under the circum stances.

PrrrsBCBO, May 24. After devotional exercises, conducted by Rev. Emory W. Hunt, of Ohio, the eighty-third annl versary of the American Baptist Missionary Union began in the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church st 10 o'clock this morniasT. The convention waa called to order by Rev.

Henry P. Colby, of Ohio, the President, after which ths report ef the Executive Committee waa presented. The foreign work," It says, "has been faithfully prosecuted, though at great disadvantage, resulting from reduced appropriations and ths failure to provide reinforcements at points where additions to! ths staff of workers were sorely needed. rThe most prominent feature In tha year's wtork Is ths awakening In China, where a marvelous change haa occurred In the disposition and attitude of the stolid and conservative Chinese. The most important question has been TUB FINANCIAL rSOBLEM.

"It Is ths conviction of the Executive Committee that the appropriations for the coming year be made on a scale $00,000 below that of the past year, and that la the years to come ths average rocstpts from aU sources for the five preceding years should be adopted as the basis of missionary ap propriations for any single year. "To this effect this wilt. In heathen lands. compel tha actual abandonment of stations upon some of the mission fields, whs ths recall of missionary families; a series of reduction in the force of native workers' upon others, besides such curtailment In the furnishing of missionary equipment aa cannot fall to prove a serious embarrassment' ts workers tn the field, and, for a time at least, restrict progress. From several of our European missions it will Involve ths withholding of nearly one half the present appropriation and a considerable reduction of the work tn France, with tha possible with, drawal altogether from Spain.

Any line of action less drastic will fall to secure the relief demanded." The Treasurer's report showed that he re ceived $467,101 Ki. Ohio gave (27,814 73. Tha balance came from different portions of the United States. The expenditures were ss follows: Ap-prtatlons for the year ISOOOT, 5e; added- to permanent funds and bend ao-counts, 13.14'i; dabt April "crr tstsrf nzuuaa iriot-vg the debt April a. 1SOT, nuviuii or nmn.

Of ths appropriated' for the year NG was for the various missions, $2,737 (X for publication. $19,504 40 for annuities. $20,810 for district secretaries and agencies, $21,740 CO for executive officers, $11.23.1 M2 for general expenses, and $4,281 for interest account. After the reading of the report Rev. W.

I H. Coemum, a missionary from Chins, arose and said he was opposed tn retrenchment. "You sent mri to China to work," said he, "and you can't retrench me. You can't re- i tard the work of retrenchment say to John D. Rockefeller or to any roan who of fers us money: First consecrate yourself to God, make your gift clean and we will accept It, otherwise we should not touch it.

I don't say this alout John D. Rockefeller particularly or alone, but to ail who make such This statement caused a profound sensation, and a moment there was a painful silence, followed by scattering applause. A number of delegates followed Mr. Cos-sum In opposition to his remarks, but the Chairman finally dismissed the matter by saying: "When our brother has been longer this country and becomes better acquainted he will modify his views." The meeting- then adjourned without taking action upon the report under consideration. ArTZRWOOW CBSSIOX.
