There is a curious discussion in the Spanish press as to the possibility of confederating the Latin re publics of South America with Spain against the United States. 1 Pais con tends that the Spanish republics are weak through isolation, and that if united in a military and diplomatic al liance, they would bo the first power in tbe world in territory, the second in population, und their armies and navies would have sufficient power to 'insure reepect. The papers point out thut the jealous iee of tlte republics prevent them from taking the initiative, hut Spain,' it is claimed, ought to urge her diplomats to approach the republics with the view of couihiuliig for the deiensu of Lutin in terests, endangered by the intrusion of the Anglo-SaxonB. El 1'hIh thinks Spain's advice would not he dim-garded if she warned Latin America against the United States, ad ding: "For it is well known that the greedy Yankees, once the Panama canal is opened to the world's commerce, will do all which their perfidity can suggest to wrest it from the Latin countries of Central America, even as England did the Sue, canal. Tending in this direc tion is the denim of the Americans to se cure Culm." In conclusion El Pais says: "The advances of the United States in the sea of the Antilles are preliminary 'epa in the blockade und occupation of tliecaiml." Inferring to the Latin American coun t'ies, the Spuctator, in a long article, points out that there is no doubt of the Miatenceofan underetauding between I'rance und Spain, which litis lately been trerigti)(!m.(iiandBayB.

The Sunday review expresses the br lief that France allowed the United States to understand, indirectly, that considerations of importance to her -..-1.1 . -11 I r . i huuiu nut unuw iiur u see spam treated u in an unfriendly manner, and that a Spanish appeal to France must result in the hitter's Intervention. The Saturday review believes tbot this Recounts for the "way the United States Ehrank from netting in practice the treatment ot Spain suggested in the original protests of the Washington government." The Spectator uuderstnnds that if France had not helped Spain, the latter would have applied for assistance to the drei- bund, with almost a certainty of suc cess.

New York, Feb. 19. A copywright cablegram to the Evening World from SylvesterScovel under date of today, from Havana, says: "The consensus of opinion of those who have studied the wreck closely is now that tiie wreck was caused by a sub marine mine. The forward magazine, it is now generally supposed, is in tact, also the forward six-inch magazines. This leaves only a few saluting charges and a few smull-caliber shells in the pilot-house which could possibly have exploded aboard the ship. At the same time, the fearful damage is too great for anytiiing but an extremely large torpe do. If it were true, the divers will find the torpedo, fragments, but if it was a submarine mine, no trace will be found. All of the Amerioan officererare internal ly doubting. There is no one of them, from Captain Sigsbee down, who is not fairly convinced a submarine mine did it. The Spanish dailies are loudly clam oring "accident, accident" when even now the fact is known that the entire middle deck, which was blown straight up, never had an ounce of ship's powder under it, and that was where the first flame was seen."
