official to a representative of the Asso

"Almost exactly four years ago the
Spanish Ambassador here asked Germany
whether Germany would lead In action
against the United States for the protec

swer was a definite refusal, and the same
answer was given a month later, or about
the middle of March, when the Invitation
reached Germany to participate in the in
tervention undertaken upon the initiative
of Austria. This was in the weeks fol
lowing the sad catastrophe of the Maine,
when it was believed intervention would
facilitate an understanding between the
United States and Spain. Nevertheless,
our government commissioned Herr von
Radowitz, the German Ambassador to
Spain, to inform the Madrid Government
that Germany wa not In a position to
prevent the Spanish-American "War.
"After that several attempts were made
to win Germany or the Drelbund for In

Reply from Ambassador Castillo:
"Paris. March 15. 1SSS. This afternoon
I have had a long conference with the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. I told him
that as the crisis has reached Its high
est point and demands rapid action. I
thought that, beside. actively co-operating
to obtain European concert, the most
oflleaclou'! thing In these moments would
be that France should address England,
invoking the traditions of international
policies regarding Cuba from the begin
ning of the century, and proposing that
both nations act in common with a view-
to peace. The Minister for Foreign Af
fairs accepted this Invitation In principle,
and asked me to give him time to think
and to submit the matter to the Council
of Ministers."
From the Spanish Ambassador at the

RUSSIA I1UOICE THE COMBINATION.
Re-fused to .loin tlie Powers in Op
position to Amerle-n.
PARIS. Feb. . The follow Ing statement
is made by an official who held a high
position during the early days of the
Spanish-American war, and is undoubtedly
authentic:
"The Spanish Government believed that
Queen Victoria would support any step tak
en with a view to preventing tho war and
'coming to tho aid of the Queen Regent.
It attributed at that time, perhaps, too
groat importance to the intervention of
the Queen in the counsels of the British
Government. It was not Ignorant of the
fact that Mr. Chamberlain was in agree
ment with Lord Salisbury in the desire
to endeavor to render the United States
a signal service, but information of a
very confidential character which reached
It convoyed to the Madrid Government the
Idea that any mission of pacification
would be well receiveel by England. Eng
lish society entertaineel the most hostile
spirit toward the United States. It had
not been able to forget the Venezuela af
fair, and In London It was thought the
proper thing to, support the Spnnlarels.
"Thus, the principal diplomatic effort
r.f Spain was brought to bear on the Cen
tral European powers and more particu
larly Russia. It was not thought that
England would take the initiative in Its
favor, but. being convinced, and as it
appears justly so, that England would
not dare to stand aloof from a common
action undertaken by Europe, to bring
about peace, Spain thought before every
thing else to win over Russia to her
cause France and Germany were first
well disposed to he Austrian proiwsal,
and an accord of the Continental powers
would undoubtedly have been iwsslble
had Russia given her support. A Spanish
diplomat wno took an Intimate pnrt in
the negotiations told me that the Madrid
officials anxiously awaited the upshot of
the conversation that the Spanish Am
bassador at St. Petersburg was to have
had with Count Muravleff. When tne
result became known, the disillusion was
all the more bitter because hope had been
so high.
"The stop taken by the Emperor of
Austria appeared to be utterly unknown
to the Russian Minister of Foreign Af
fairs. When he was made cognizant of it
he did not seem to attribute any great
efficacy to it. 'If such a step, said Count
Muravleff. 'is conffned to a simple coun
cil, it will have no result, and if It im
plies anything resembling a throat, the
result obtained will be contrary to that
desired.'
"This reply quickly undermined the
friendly dispositoln that France and Ger
many had at first shown toward" Spain,
and the pacific action of the powers. In
stead of being exercised collectively and
of great moral authority, reduced itself
to inuividual advice, counseling Spain to
make concessions.
"England was not. therefore, called up
on to declare itself. The sympathies of
certain statesmen In the conservative cab
inet were certainly for the United States,
but they were not required to dis
play them. They afterwards Insinuated
that their role had been to hold Europe
In check, to the advantage of the United
States. As Is seen frovn the foregoing,
they cid nothing: ol the kind."
NO MATTER OF SENTIMENT
SALISBURY DISCUSSES THE RECENT
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Refers to the Dntch Note In a, Tone
of Flippancy England Dc-
Mrons of l'eucc.
LONDON. Feb. 5. Lord Salisbury, the
Premier, unveiled a life-sized marble
statue of the late Queen Victoria at the
Junior Constitutional Club tonight.
Speaking at a dinner after the unveiling,
the Premier referred to the recent Dutch
note In a tone, for him. of unusual flip
pancy. He said that doubtless some of
his auditors thought it a bit of luck to
catch a Cabinet Minister and extract
from him some information concerning
that abortive crisis which had lately
filled the columns in the newspapers. He
doubted, however, if they would extract
much.
"It was clear that the Dutch," said
Lord Salisbury, "had no authorization
from our enemies on the Continent, since.
from the moment this nctlon on the part
of the Netherlands government was an
nounced, these enemies vied with each
orher in declaring the Dutch action to
be undesired.
"Ills Majesty's Government certainly
knew nothing of the genesis of this
movement. The fact that such a step
was taken, however, reminds me that
we have arrived at a condition of things
which. In a critical period of this char
acter, always occurs, a period when
there would be many persons attempting
to bring numerous people of different
views together and when there would
be many suggestions which It would be
neither easy nor desirable to notice."
The Premier explained that his only
reason for alluding to such things was
that a time was coming when the people
must think more of the suggestions of
their intelligence, and less of the sug
gestions of their emotions.
"There is no longer any question TC
sentiment." continued Lord Salisbury.
"We have entereel upon a matter of busi
ness which must be pushed through. What
we are now seeking Is security. Any
peace which recognizes fully the rights
of the Sovereign and gives us security
for the Empire wo would acept, not only
with willingness, but with delight. It Is
useless to tell us to behave so as to leave
a pleasant recollection In the minds or
those with whom we are fighting. The
only result that can compensate for the
sacrifice of blood and treasure is that
for the future there shall be security In
that part of the Empire upon which" the
ambition of Mr. Kruger has poured this
abundnnce of sorrow and desolation."
Lord Salisbury said he had no misgiv
ings for the future, and that he believed
the war had made the country more con
fident In Its external policy, more con
vinceel that Its opinions would receive due
consideration from the comity of nation.-.
But when the present strain had passed
away, continued the speaker, there still
remained duties which could not be
shirked. The existence of hostile feeling
in Ireland was a signal that tho efforts
upon which depended in no light degree
the glory and continuance of the Empire
must not be relaxed.
"The maintenance of our position in
Ireland is the most vital object the Em
pire has. and it can only be attained by
strenuous exertions." said the Premier.
The Premier asked if the Irish people
love-d the government better than they
d:d formerly, and replied himself .that they
did not. He said the feelings of hostility
which had been exprosed were more
uncompromising than any expressions
which had ever Issued from the lips of
Pnrnell or O'Connell. An Irish govern
ment with power to accumulate arms and
ammunition would constitute a more seri
ous throat than had the Boers. The Pre
mier concluded by saying that the con
spicuous duty of the Unionists was to
maintain a permanent junction between
them and Ireland and that it was by sus
taining this junction that they would
maintain the greatness of the constitution
and the splendor of the British Empire.

ject of the former country Is the exter
mination of the Boer nation, and is a
further obstacle to any Idea, on the part
of the delegation, of applying to the Brit
ish Government for safe conduct, or any
thing else.

FUNDS TO FIGHT MERGER
GOVERNOR VAN SANT ASKS FOR AN
APPROPRIATION.
Ills Mesdsgc to the Minnesota Legls
laturc Commends Attorney
General Douglas Efforts.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 5. Governor Van Sant
today reael his message to the Legislature.
After reciting the occasion for the extra
session to be the desire to secure a revi
sion of the somewhat mixed tax laws or
the state, he urged that Immediate action
be taken looking to the passage of laws
suggested by the commission, with such
amendments as may be deemed wise, or
the so-called railroad merger tho Gov
ernor said:
"At this time I desire to Inform the Leg
islature of the suit brought by the State
of Minnesota against the Northern Secur
ities Company, of New Jersey. Believing
that this corporation was organized for
the purpose of evading and violating the
laws of Minnesota by consolidating the
properties of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific companies, which com
panies run parallel and are competing
lines of railway within the state, I re
quested Attorney-General Douglas to
bring suit in the name of the state, to
prevent such consolidation."
He quotes the articles of Incorporation
of the Northern Securities Company, and
says:
"Those powers are as broad as language
can make them, and authorize the North
ern Securities Company, not only to vote
the stock of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Railroad Companies and
thus exercise all the powers and privil
eges of ownership and control, but spe
cifically empower the corporation to do
any acts or things designed to enhance
the value of the stock of the companies
mentioned, which, of course, includes the
right to Increase freight rates directly or
to change the classification of freight so
as to Increase the rates.
"I deemed it wise to call a conference
of tho Governors and Attorneys-General
of the states through which the lines of
railway pass, In order that such method
of procedure might be adopted as would
be uniform. This conference was held at
Helena, Mont. There wero present the
Governors and Attorneys-General not only
of our state, but of 'Montana, South Da
kota and Idaho, and the Attorney-General
of "Washington. The Governor of the last
state died just prior to the conference,
and, owing to this fact, his successor.
Governor McBrlde, was unable to attend.
Governor McBrlde has since, however. In
a published Interview, called the attention
of the people of his stato to the dangers
threatened by the consolidation of these
two companies.
"The conference was harmonious
throughout, and that the official repre
sentatives of the various states were
wholly In sympathy with the action ot this
state and Its determination to oppose this
consolidation, is shown by the resolutions
which wore unanimously adopted. It was
determined, owing- to the Importance or
the case, and for the purpose of getting
the matter disposed of at as early a date
as possible, to bring the suit In the Su
preme Court of the United States in the
first Instance."
He recited the argument before that
court on January 27, and added:
"What the final decision will be it Is
difficult to foretell, but It does not seem
possible that a New Jersey corporation,
no matter what its capitalization, will be
permitted to violate the laws of the sov
ereign State of Minnesota. If the Hnal
decision should be against the state, the
battle Is not then lost. There Is one rem
edy that never falls, and which Is moro
supreme even than the Supreme Court, l
quote the words of Judge Brewer In an
address made at the bl-centennlal of Yale
College, In which he said. In speaking of
trusts and the Inability of the courts to
crush them, appeal must be taken to the
great court of public opinion, whose le
crees are Irresistible. In that court everj
man Is counsel and every man Is judge.
"It Is a pleasure to commend Attorney
General Douglas for the able and efficient
manner In which he has endeavored to
vindicate our laws. I learned from him
that the enactments upon stateute books
are ample and that no additional legisla
tion Is required at this time. But If. dur
ing your session, any further legislation
should be needed, I will immediately com
municate that fact to you. While you
have been called together solely for the
purpose of consideration of the tax code,
yet la view of the extraordinary expenses
attending this suit and the great array or
legal talent In opposition, I would suggest
that a sufficient sum of money be placed
at the disposal of the legal department to
employ assistant counsel to properly con
tinue the litigation and meet the expenses
necessarily connected therewith."
The Governor said further on the mer
ger: "If the Supreme Court eloes not take
jurisdiction. It is the intention of the Attorney-General
at once to bring suit In the
stato courts, and every effort will be made
speedily to have the case reached In the
court of last resort, where it raiK tlnally
be disposed of. Neither this company nor
any other company, combination, consoli
dation or trust shall violate the laws of
our state If It can bo prevented."
TEAM NOT FULLY SIGNED.
lint Portland Hns Grent Pronpects for
Good Hall.
Manager Sammy Vigneux, of the Port
land baseball team, Is very busy arrang
ing for the coming season, and expects
to announce a full complement of men be
fore March 1. Vigneux has signed Joe
Mahaffey. a younger brother of Lou 11a
haffey, who played first base for Port
land last year. Young Mahaffey Is a
pitcher, and has played baseball for sev
eral years. He began at Terre Haute.
Ind., in ISSfi, and has played on the teams
at Selma, Ala., and Sumner, la. He Is
regarded as a first-class pitcher, and those
who have seen him play declare that Vig
neux made a happy selection. He Is 24
years old.
When seen yesterday Mr. Vigneux said:
"The announcement of Portland's prob
able line-up Is a little premature, but we
will have substantially the same team as
announced this morning. Thus far I have
signed only the Mahaffey brothers and
Hupp, but I am negotiating with Deisel,
Muller, Anderson, Salisbury, Engel and
Weed, all of last year's team. I have
my eyes on a hard-hitting center fielder,
and I shall certainly give Ed Rankin and
Berry a trial, for they are good men.
Everything looks favorable for good sport,
and, you may depend upon It, Portland
will have a first-class team. The men
will report for work April 7, and we shall
have three weeks of good, hard practice
before the opening game."
C. A. AVhltemore. president of the Port
land Baseball Club. Is enthusiastic over
the prospects for the coming season.
"Our club Is In good shape," said Mr.
Whltemore yesterday, "and I am sure
that the people of the city have confidence
In us. We have still In round numbers
12000 worth of unsold stock. Nevertheless,
the club Is In good shape, and I predict
a most successful season. We have a
lease on the grounds for another year,
and the field is being graded so that It
will be In better condition than before.
Improvements will also be made about the
grandstand and ticket booths. I feel sat
isfied that baseball Is firmly established In
Portland, and am of the opinion that Its
prospects are very bright."
