A war is to be deplored and so is the necessity for it. As General Howard Las stated, we nre not not in condition for war and cannot lie for some lime.

It is to ho hoped hy every patriotic citizen that war will not become a neces ity, but ns ihe matter stands we must ha ,e an apology or light. There is no escnpc from the alternative if the apolo gy lie refused.

"What I did say," remarked the secre tary, this afternoon, "was that I lulieved that Chili was ambitious to maintain a stronger naval power in the Pacific than any other nation, and that if there had lieen no war in that country, and she had not lost her ships, and if the three new ships, constructed for her in Kuroj-c were out, she could have done anything she pleased with our Pacific squadron. I was not speaking, however, of our nil- -..! Llr.,,,,,,1, ... l.,.l. t- - . ...us that our lacihe and Atlantic s.piadrons comiiinei are mucli larger an.l more powerful than the Chilian fleet."
