MCKINLEY ASKS FOR A MILLION For the Immediate Relief of the Starving Men in Cuba. Has Sent No Spain to Stop the War. Nothing to Be Done in This Line Until After the Spanish Elections. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 26.—The Her- ald’'s Washington correspondent sends the following: The announcement w *made late to-night by a high offici speaking for the President, that Pre dent McKinley had decided to ask for $1,000,000 for the purpose of feeding the starving victims of the Cuban war. He will make his request in a m sage which he will send to Congress next week as soon as the Maine ques- tion has been temporarily disposed of, if it can be disposed of diplomatically. The President, it was said, is more impressed daily with the neces acting promptly and sending “direct re- lief” to the reconcentrados. 1 am also authorized to deny the statement sent out broadcast to-day by the Associated Press that the Presi- dent has notified Spain, or is about to notify Spain, that the Cuban war has become intolerable to the United States and must be ended at once. This de nial comes. from the same source as the information that the President has determined to ask for a relief appro- priation of $1,000,000. “Representation” about the war may come, but it will not come on the eve of the national election in Spain. Our Government will wait to see how the election turns out. 1 istry continues in power it will feel that something can be done in the way of terminating the war satisfactorily after all. : et From a French Point of View. PARIS, March 26.—The Journal des Debats, referring to the Spanish- American situation, says: Spain will defend her rights with admirable con- stancy, and the civilized world will place upon the United States the re- sponsibility for a conffict which a sec- tion of the public seem to demand.

Years of Litigation Will Result in the San Franciscan Getting Twenty- Five Thousand Dollars. Special Dispatch to The Call. | NEW YORK, March 26.—The claim of Charles F. Gall of San Francisco against the estate of his uncle, Joseph | Gall, was sustained yesterday by the appellate di on of the Supreme | Court. Gall has been in constant liti- gation over the property for a dozen | from San Franc | his uncle, who wished him to take the | name of Gall, and who promised to | leave him his property. | Joseph Gall was one of the.oldest | | opticians in this city, and had accumu- |lated a considerable fortune. When he | died he fulfilled his promise and made ’;1 will in his nephew’s favor. A claim- | woman, who had been the aged man’s ant soon appeared in the person of a housekeeper. She had been known as Amelia Stieb, but she asserted that she had contracted a common law mar- riage with Mr. Gall and that she was consequently entitled to a dower in the estate. A jury sustained her conten- tion and held that she had been legally married some time between the date of the birth of her first child and Mr. Gall's death. This legitimatized the posthumous child born soon afterward, and the effect of the will was over- thrown. Then the question of marriage was carried to the Court of Appeals and was bitterly fought at each step. It was only one of a very small number of contested common law relations that have successfully passed the test of all the courts. Charles F. Gall then began his first suit against the widow. He put in a claim for the specific performance of his uncle’s contract to leave him money. This was carried to the court of last resort and he was beaten. be made than any member of | years. He originally came to this city | o at the request of | LONDON, March 26.—Although pub- | lic opinion on this side of the Atlantic, as in America, had already discounted | the findings of the United States Court | of Inquiry into the loss of the Maine, | and actual confirmation was expezted, | the verdict only served to whet people’s | appetites. It has in no way alleviated | the suspense or the anxiety in regard to | the immediate effecc produced by the report, nor the eagerness to know the position which President McKinley and | his Cabinet propose to take in this diffi- cult and delicate situation. So intense is the interest in the latest turn of the kaleidoscope, that it has immeasurably | increased the nervous tension which has been agitating Europe for the last three month There is little hope here | that hostilities can be avoided, and it is believed the revelation now officially made will so combine the other factors of the situation as to make war inevit- able, though it i ill regarded as pos- sible that Spain. at the last moment, will see the hopelessness of maintain- ing her position and yield to the inevit- able without, as a British admiralty of- ficial said, “having the lesson unmerci- fully hammered into her, although the hammering may possibly not be accom- lished until after her spirits have been aised by a temporary success.” It is at lea realized here that the movement to end the Cuban scandal is no longer in the hands of the jingoes, but that the solid sentiment of the | United States bids the executive act when the proper moment arises; that the risks have been estimated, and that the great body of Americans are ready to face them. So far as it is possible to ascertain | the general diplomatic opinion, it can be summed up in the wordsof aForeign Office man, who remarked The pre- servation of peace depends upon the temper Spain displays when the inev. able notification is d ident propcses to relieve the sufferers by distributing fo and medi- cines from American hips and transports, precisely as Great Britain is now, unofficially and on a smaller ale, doing in Crete, and unless Spain pockets her overweening conceit, | which has hitherto made the recogni- tion of her failure impossible to her, a rupture must come frc that quarter, and Spain will put herself hopelessly in the wrong. Spain’s pretensions of preparedn: for war and her Finance Minister's assurance that she has suffi- cient funds therefor are equally unten- able unless the latter contemplates the immediate suspension of specie pay- ments and the payment of the inter- est on the debt in paper. The truth is Castilians Receive SPAIN IS DECLARED UNREADY Due From the British. The English Press and Foreign Office Join in Saying That the United States Will Easily Triumph. that Spain is no more in a position to fight the United States than was Greece to fight Turkey. The one great hope of the European ancellories is that the President will 'succed in delaying the explosion until, under the guise of au- tonomy, arrangements may possibly be made to facilitate Spain’s giving up Cuba. It must be remembered that for two years, although Spain has at times assumed a vigorous attitude, she i failed to- maintain it s reached. The sug- continental press of in- tervention upon the part of the Euro- pean powers is mischievous, and noth- ing is more certain to provoke hostili- ties.” It has been suggested that the pres- ence in London of the Infanta Eulalie is connected in some way with diplo- macy, but the list of guests at the offi- cial dinner giv in her honor at the Spanish Embassador’s hardly lends color to the umption. The Statist s “While tHe out- break of hostilities would seriously af- fect New York, Madrid would be much worse off. It would mean the immedi- ate suspension of specie payments and m of interest on the yment.

It- bullion only 40 per cent of its note circulation.” According to Madrid advices, the pa- pers there are whistling loudly, trying to arouse a sense of wrong, with the doctrine that war de facto was de- clared when the United States per- mitted support to be furnished to the insurgents. Early during the week strict censor- ship denuded the newspapers of news and cheated widesvread alarm. This was enhanced by the suppression of all news of the movements of the Spanish torpedo flotilla and the annohncement that a cruiser_ would accompany the destroyers, which was taken to mean that the Spaniards feared attempts would be made by the United States to stop the flotilla on its way to Porto Rico. sreat interestis takenin the elections to-morrow for the members of the Spanish Chamber of Deputies.

Regards Both Spain and America as Her Warm Friends. Foreign Minister Hanotaux Declare That Strict Neutrality Will Be Preserved. Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, March 26.—In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Gorussct, Socialist, made a sweeping criticism of the for- eign policy of the Government. M. Ba- ron, speaking in support of M. Guros- sot, introduced the Cuban question. He said: “France cannot remain indifferent to the Spanish-American conflict and the monstrous encroachment ¢f the Anglo- | Saxon race on the Latin race. It is the | Quty of France to approach Spain and iation and peace.” M. Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign Affairs, replying to M. Baron, said the | negotiations with England regarding | West Africa were proceeding favor- ably. With reference to China M. Hanotaux said the negotiations were and that significant results might be expected. Turning to Cuba, he said: “However necessary the defense of our own interests may be, it is subordinate to the importance of the grave difficul- ties which the Cuban question has pre- sented too long. The whole world is following with emotion and anxiety the varying fortunes of the conflict proceeding in Cuba, and the whole world earnestly hopes for its speedy conclusion. “The interests affected or threatened and the courage and perseverance dis- played add daily some element to the dramatic_ trend of events in that. island. The Chamber knows the sym- pathy and esteem which the United States inspire. On the one hand we have an ancient and faithful relation, good neighborly feelings, affinities of race and interests, and, finally, the re- spect with which. the patriotism of a heroic nation naturally inspires us. “On the other hand we have a power- ful republic, a sister of our own, full of ardor and confident of her valor. who demands that an immediate end be put to evils in which she herself has the United States with words of concil- | being carried on at Paris and Peking, | shared and which have lasted a very long time. Such is the position of the conflict wherein both interests and honor are involved. Our first duty is to unceasingly express to the two nations the desire of all that a sanguinary and formidable fight be avoided. “If these two parties, with common accord, are endeavoring to find sure and impartial friends to help them in amicable arrangement of so grave a question, they will see that all well-in- tentioned people are lending themselves to the desire and we will not be back- ward. But it would be going beyond the reserve imposed upon us to go fur- ther than this. I can here, at least, only renew the expression of our ar- dent wishes for an equitable solution of the matter, wherein right, honor and liberty may be satisfied, and which will result in maintaining between tw-~ - tions, equally dear to us, the great benefit of peace.” (Cheers.) A motion approving M. Hanotaux’s ?ta%l{ments was adopted by a vote of 300 o ADVERTISEMENTS. Sometimes a burglar only suc- ceeds in damaging the lock of a safe so that the combi- nation won’t work.
