r
New York August 7. The
I World publishes an interview
!said to have been obtained
with John Sherman secretary
'of state just previous to his
return to Washington from
I Amagansett L. I. In this in
terview Mr. Sherman is re-
ported as saying:
"Spain will lose Cuba.- That
seems to me to be- certain.
She can not continue the strug"-
gle. Already the conflict has
cost her more than 200000-
I
000. Her money is gone andj
s"he can get n more- she has
reached the limit ot her bor-
rowing capacity. She can not
Wm$ on
'at bank!Pay back what she has already
borrowed. The only thing left
for her to do is to repudiate
her debts. We had to do that
after the revolution. Having
repudiated that she can begin
anew") but she will have to be-
gin without Cuba. That coun-
try is devastated. The Span-
ish soldiers have been battling
for pay. The pay will stop and
then the conflict will stop.
"Spain is in no condition to
wage war anywhere. The bur-
dens placed upon her people
to sustain the struggle for re-
taining Cuba have been very
heavy. Widespread discontent
will come sooner or later with-
in the Spanish kingdom. By
stopping the struggle by with
drawing her troops from Cuba
and by repudiating her debts
lis the only way to recover.
Sooner or later she must do
this. So far we have done
nothing to arouse the anger of
the Spanish people. We have
eone on minding our own bus-
in ess deaf to die pleadings of
our oYjn people who wanted
the government to interfere."
INSURGENTS ACTIVE. .
Havana Aug. 7 via Key
West Fla. About 200 insur
gents underthe command of
the local leader Vincente Jor-
go recely attempted toenter
the cultivation zone .at Mayal-
son and Macagua in the Ma-
tanzas province but their ex-
pedition was without important
results."
The same band made an at-
tack upon and entered Coral
Nuevo a small town and plun-
dered several stores.
The earrison from the fort!
and a part' of volunteers who
eneacred the insurgents in the
streets of the town lose three
killed and nine wounded. Five
of the inhabitants including a
-woman were also -wounctea.

tlom guerrillas compelled "thejso

- Captain General Weyler has
issued an order that all stores
in Esperanza" province -of
Santa Clara shall be closed as
the town 'is not fortified strong-
ly enough to prevent the insur
gents from - entering it and
(plundering the stores.
The Matanzas police plan-
ned an ambush on the night of
August 5 and succeeded in
taking prisoners the insurgent

REPLY TO JA- .-
PAN'S PROTEST.
Sherman- Will- Make His Next
Note Conciliatory.
Washington Aug. 7. It is
understood that the reply of
Secretary Sherman to the last
Japanese protest against the
annexation of Hawaii will be
brief in comparison" vvidi the
long letters that have gone be-
fore but wrlll be conciliatory
in tone. This is accounted for
by the fact that the state de-
partment has taken notice of
the published utterances of
eminent Japanese statesmen
all going to show that Japan
has no design upon the islands
but seeks only to conserve her
treaty rights.
However the basic tone of
the note on this point will be
the declaration by Secretary-
Foster when he submitted to
President Harrison the origi-
nal treaty ol annexation in
1893 which failed owing to
the immediate change of ad
ministration. This statement
was that according to a recog-
nized principle of international
law the obligation of treaties
even if some of their stipula-
tions are in terms perpetual
expire in case either of the
contracting parties loses its
existence as an independent
State. The foreign treaties of
the Hawaiian islands there-
fore terminate upon annexa-
tion with the competence of
die government thereof to
hold diplomatic relations. This
argument is to meet the Ta-
panese objection that they
will by annexadon lose cer-
tain privileges which they now
eojoy under the treaty with
Hawaii. The objection that
annexation would disturb the
balance of Power in the Pa-
cific will be met by an elabora-
tion of the argument -that the
public thai
in politics or act
eminent may oe e5
result from a legal merg!
the islands into the UniS
States.-

real con
dition af affairs fe. It is well
enough to say that Mexico can
live within bei'self and.can raise
on a silver bas!s Jnaiural pro-
ducts that she jfifefsell abroad
on a goldbaeis'This would be
.
perfectly' satisfactory if there
was such anionormous increase
of wpalth resulting from such
conditions that it could bear a
high rate of taxation in order
that the government might be
able to meet its debte abroad
by such means without any ex
trastrain. At this moment Mex-
ican bond3 are unaltered in
London principally owing to
the scrupulous exactness under
the most distressing condition
with which their interest 'has
been met. Thse debts are in
gold and their interest is ex-
cessive and it is only a matter
of time unless there is a favor-
able change in silver when this
republic will be unable to stand
it."
Repudiation has an- ugly
sound but something very much
like it under present- circum-
stances must finally result. The
great railway corporations and
other foreign companies here
have to meet a gold interest
Iwith a medium that is ever de
creasing in value. It does not
matter how great the business
and the capacity for making
monpyr "because the money
earned is inadequate to meet
their obligations abroad. Ihere
is only one thing for them to
do increase 'their earnings one
hundred fold or consider that
their foreign debt was contract
ed in silver.
Itseem3 hard that tha credit
of this government that is now
so high and the excellent for-
eign investments here should
be injured through circum-
stances over which they have no
control. But facts are facts and
it will be interesting to watch
what will happen unless there
is a sharp rally in silver before
long.

A DIFFERENT RBEORT. .
Mexjco City August 7. It
is predicted that silver ha
reached the cost of production!"
level and there will be a gieafl?
development of manufacturing
in this country. Some blinkers
still consider silver as likely to
Ktdke an upward turn.
Crops along the line of tba
Central railway promise well
and will probably give thebess
yield for many years.
The is no panic in commtrcial
circles. fc
The prediction of a still lowec
price for silver made by Direct-
or Preston of the United States
mint is published by newspa-
pers here and much commented
upon. The government will
punctually pay its gold in teres g
on debts held in Europe also
in the Cityof Mexico. Fcrtn..
nately the federal revnues hava
been augmenting so that the
government faces the silver
crisis in a good condition
It is probable that the silver
output will be somewhat cheek-
ed. Managers of smeher3 wilt
not be mneh- affected by the
decline in silver except a3 they
are ownsdr abroad and owners
get an income when changed in
the equtvalent-of gold.
