Senator Hoai's eagerness to take
the negative side of the question of
expansion bus not been lost upon the
Spaniards, who are now quoting' the
scnatot fiom Massachusetts as pi oof
that the pioldent Is not htippoited by
the cmintiy 111 tin demands prefened
by the American peace commlHsloneis
at Pails. In other wonls, to gratify a
pmely acadtmie opinion Ihir eminent
llrpubllcan Is willing to embairass his

ment to the national enemy by inop
portune and Injudicious comment. Wo
admire bis ability but not hl .''idc

The ncwH dUpatch from Madrid In

Why? Do they evpeot aid from h

do. They must know that while sotno
