The reference made in the speech to the entry of the United States among the European Powers will, we believe be re- garded by the American nation as a friendly advance, for Lord SALISBURY states that it is likely to benefit British In- terests. This, we presume is Intended to apply to the question of the absolute cession of the Philippines demanded by the United States, and this public statement by the British Premier, should tend to make the United States all the more determined to enforce their demands despite of protests which may be made by the European Powers. It will doubtless bo takèn as an iniimation that; should a European concert be formed for the purpose of forcing the United States to withdraw their demands for the' cession of the Philippines, Great Britian will not remain Idly neutral, as she did in the matter of the retrocession of the Liaotung Peninsula. The fact of our war preparations still continuing will also lend colour to such a supposition and will pro. | bably be regarded by the United States as a nole of warning to the Powers that we are ready to support our interests, which, in this instance, happen to be also those of our American 'cousins.
