New York, March 22.-The Herald correspondent in London interviewed Sir Charles Dilke as to the relations between the United States and Spain.
He thought that there was no doubt that if war came, the United States would more than hold their own. He did not think it possible Spain would attempt to block American ports.
Japan is the only nation that might be tempted to interfere. She has not found the opportunity for expansion in China which she expected and a war between the United States and Spain might tempt her to grab the Philippines. I regard it as improbable that England would in any way take part in such a war officially, but the sympathies of England would all be with the United States.
