Sumner Sparks Fury in Britain and U S Debate
A dramatic critique portrays Sumner's stances as provoking anger in England while defending American policy. It contrasts British aristocratic irritation with Adm Johnson and President Grant, labeling Sumner as principled and international law aligned as the Anglophone dispute unfolds.
Triple alliance between England France and Spain mocked
The piece argues that a proposed England France Spain triple alliance against the United States is implausible and not supported by facts. It critiques the credulity of such canards, notes past unreliable cable dispatches, and asserts that only England and Spain have prompted hostility while Spain has shown no real aggression toward the United States. It contends Canada and Cuba would fall under American control if such an alliance occurred, despite Bonaparte's precarious French throne.
