AT HCttANTOff, l'A., AS Rt COND-C1.ASS MAIL JIATTEIl. scranton, i.-EnmJAnY si. isos. The repot t that Clomez is marching on Havana will .serve to Indicate to the Spanish that misfortunes never come singly. They have nown to tho wind; a whirlwind nnd n big one would seem to bo about due. Hiding ton Downfall. The altitude of. Fnuli toward the ITnltod Stated continues to bo unfor tunate It becomes comprehensible jnly on the supposition that otllclal circles In the Peninsular kingdom ate becoming badly rattled. Flist came the De Lome letter, from lu point of view of Spain's own best lnteiej-t n most crlovous blunder. Trior to the publication of that, Spain had Mtcocsftully stayed America's hand In Culm, by artful promises and Ingenious preuvustinatlng devices virtually check mating the whole bont of public opin ion in this country. Do Lome's letter, ns a London Journal tersely snld, "threw that fat tight into the flic." The Influence of Spanish diplomacy nt Washington Is now gone. Then came blunder number two in the nigral dly and grudging manner in which tho Spanish authorities at Jlnd rid (.ought to disavow Ue Lome's opin ions. It would obviously have been to tbolr internet t cnblo Immediately nn unqualified disclaimer, with a frank nnd manly apology to the president who had been since his Inauguration fastidiously com teous to nnd consider ate of them. Instead of that they fid geted, hemmed and hawed and toward the last did their duty only because an .iwful occurrence In Havana harbor literally compelled them to sue for peace. The explosion on boaid the Maine may or may not have been blunder number three. We cannot say as to that until wo ascertain whether or not it was the hand of n Spaniard that caused it; but it certainly was a gross blunder en Spain's part to stop our dlvera until she could prefer at Wash ington the braren request to co-operate with' its in investigating our own ship. To President McKlnley's ever lasting ctedlt be it said, this request was no sooner received by him than it was refused. Its implied suspicion ns to tho fairness and honor of the men named by our government to in vestigate tho Maine mny not be a symptom ct conscious guilt but it cer tainly is an Insult which Spain is in no condition to hazard and the Ameri can nation in no mood to receive. If the world wants to see a grand ex ample of Christian patience under aug menting provocation it should study in tently the present attitude of the re putedly Jlngols.li United States. Weylor's notion that our Yankee tars are an Indolent lot may yet be modi fled In that school in which all but fools gain wisdom. The Question of Liability. There appears to bo some confusion In the public mind as to the extent of Spain's llnhlllty In case the government of the United States should discover conclusive evidence that the destruc tion of the Maine was caused by a citi zen of Spain. It is necessary to under stand befoto approaching this subject that fot the present it must be con tacted as lying entirely within the domain of polemics. Every one recognizes that If It should bo i.-itabllshed that the Maine was blown up by an authorized agent of Spain the fact would constitute an im perative casus belli. Hut there are f-oine who argue that If the deed should be fastened upon a fauutlcal Spaniard having no prominent connection with tho Spanish government and prompted wholly by his personal feelings, the most which our government could do with preservation of Its s-elf-respcct would be to demand of Spain an offic ial tepudlatlou of the crime and prompt punishment of the criminal. This view of tho matter is Imperfect. In the contingency Just supposed there would be ample wu riant not only In precedent but also In common sense for the further demanding from Spain by our government of an indemnity sufficient to compensate us for the property loss involved In tho Maine's destruction; sulllclerit, also, to indem nify, so far as money could, the sur viving victims and the Immediate rela tives of the martyrs of the Maine's crew: nnd sufficient, finally, to tecom penso tho government of the United States for tho affront Involved In such a perfidious deed. A precedent Is supplied in our own history by the circumstance of tho Italians killed by a mob In New Orleans a few years ago. These citizens of a friendly power were not officials, as many on hoard the Maine were: and their- assailants were a crazed lot of men unexpectedly stirred to violence. But the Government of the United States promptly contributed to tho Italian government not only Us pro fuseapologles but also a Hum of money sufficient to constitute a generous In demnity. It recognized, in short, that tho foreigner who behaves himself while on American soil Is entitled to the fullest protection of the American law, .and when ho doesn't get this he or hfs heirs deserve to bo indemnified. Wo jjeould quote other precedents by the "score. Ttat embodied In Ger many nptlon with reference to China after.tho murder by fanatical Chinese of certain German missionaries Is fresh In the public's memory. OnJtho score of common sense It needi" to be borne In mind that the MaluSjat anchor In Havana harbor was officially the guest of Spain, and there ore entitled In an uuusuul degree to the respect and consideration of tho HpanlsM government and people. It was the duty of Spain to exercise such ro ntralnt upon Its own subject nnd to be bo vigilant In guarding Its guest's (safety that harm to the Maine nnd to tho Maine's crew from any Spanish source would bo Impossible. In so far ns Spain may have failed In this, to that extent Is she liable and to that extent could she bo held responsible by this government, tho sober Judg ment of civilization sanctioning and commending our course, and only tho Mugwumps ciylng halt. If tho explosion of a Spanish torpedo nnchored in tho liatbor near tlio foreign war vessel caused tho disaster and was purely accidental, It is difficult to per celvo tiny bnsls for charging Spain with liability. It would bo different, however. If such explosion was duo to any want of reusonablo euro on tlift part of tho Spanish mllltnry or port nuthorltlcs.- Now York Sun. Has Spain the right to permit a visit ing ship belonging to a friendly power to anchor near a torpedo or sub-marine mine llnble lo go off through accident? If tho facts as to the Maine Were In accordance with tho Sun's first .suppo sition as quoted above, a drubbing might teach Spain better manners. A Lesson to Americans. The more one reads about the Drey fus caso and Its sequel, tho Zola trial, the more one fools like thanking God that he Is nn American citizen, living In a country which, with all Its faults, is undoubtedly the freest and best country on earth. Ilecall the facts. Charged with sell ing military secrets, Captain Dreyfus, a bright and popular young officer, In dependently rich, happily married and u ith no visible incentive to treason, is tried in secret, condemned without privilege of defense, ostentatiously de graded and then rushed off to a remote prison colony on a sentence of solitary confinement for life. His friends pro test, the conscience of the people grows restive, nnd on a pretext the govern ment, still hugging its policy of se crecy, re-afllrms Dreyfus' guilt, alleg ing without proof that he had con fessed. The Intelligent part of French public opinion refused to be satisfied; a. notorious blackguard and blueing. Esterhar.y, Is charged by Dreyfus' champions with being the real crim inal; a trial of him Is demanded; to pave Us own head the government re luctantly assents; but again the doors aro closed, the process of adjudication is reduced to the dimensions of a farce and the defendant Is acquitted almost ns soon as arraigned. Then in sensa tional manner comes M. Zola, who in a public letter addressed to the presi dent of the French republic accuses the French government from Its min ister of war down with conspiring to load tho sins of a. rotten system upon an innocent man, and challenges tho government to hold him to a legal ac counting. Zola Is haled Into court on a charge of libel; he subpoenaes al most the whole of official France and these dignitaries one by one refuse to testify. The army asserts that its honor will not permit a civil inquiry to lo made into facts already passed on by courts-martial. The government refuses .to make public a shred of tho alleged evidence upon which it found Dreyfus guilty. And finally, the de generato populace, fired with fanati cism because Dreyfus Is a Jew, com mits act after act of mob violence and openly discusses the propriety of or dering another St. Bartholomew, this time for the Jews. The end of all this no man knows. That it Indicates intolerable rottenness is obvious. That in some way there must soon come n burst-up is equally clear. But hero certainty stops and sheer speculation begins. Of a people capalde of tolerating such gross Injust ice nnd itself indulging in such paretic paroxysms anything Is possible. France Is honey-combed with socialism. Its populace is like gunpowder. The spark of a revolution may be even now form ing Itself for a blood ignition. We have much to find fault with In our own country. Those persons among us who make a business of reforming evil?, being brought by their occupa tions into a batter acquaintance with the bad than with the good side of things, nre ptone to tench that with more or less rapid strides our country is going to the devil. They are mis taken, of course, even though they bo sincere. And Instances like the Drey fus case afford us ftom time to tlmo opportunities to get our hearings. One bearing which it seems opportune to make a note of now Is embodied in tho fact that while In almost every country in continental Europe there is developing among the masses an in tense prejudice against the Jewish peo ple, 11 development not infrequently marked by the most abomlnnble perse cutions. In the United States Christian and Hebrew wnTk arm In arm, without bitterness, without strife, Indeed in the upper circles with a growing seno of mutual undeistandlng nnd apprecia tion. The boast of the French olllcer that if Dreyfus should be liberated 100, 000 Jews in Franco on that same day would lose their heads could not ! made In America by any man, what ever his racp or creed, except by an Inmate of an Insane asylum. The world is the poorer since tho death of W. J. Scanlan, for, whatever hu may have been off the stage, upon It, ere he passed Into eclipse, he gave honest pelasuro to millions. - One Good Result. One grntlfylng clrcumstnnce in con nection with the loss of the Malno Is that of .those Americans who call for an Immediate strengthening of our navy no group Is more In earnest than Is that made up of the representative public men of the middle West. Here Is a territory with no exposed coast, no harbors into which warships may glide with gayety or menace, nnd with little Immediate connection with uny of the naval problems of the time. It Is a territory which the whnlo of Ku rope could not successfully Invade; one whoso chief Interests would suffer but slightly from a war even though that war should result in the bombardment of New York, Philadelphia, Neiv Or leans and San Francisco and In the" sacking of the almost fabulously rich zone of territory accessible to Invaders from the sea; and furthermore, it la a country which In late years has ac quired an undenlnblo political preju dice against the Atlantic const states nnd against New York city inoro es peclallv. Yet to the cry for a strength ened navy, In other words, to the call of patriotism nn It has boon sounded by recent critical events, this section gives response Instantly, emphatically nnd without n. quibble. It Is well, after nil, that the life cur rents of I ho nation have been quick ened. They wero becoming sluggish. The business world has reason to feel highly gratified concerning the action of the Iioubo of representatives on Sat urday In passing by a handsome ma jority the Henderson bankruptcy bill. This mensure is substantially the Tor rey bill which has been Indorsed by boards of trade and other commercial organizations tho country over. It pro vides both for voluntary and In voluntary bankruptcy. Under Its provisions an honest mnn In busi ness embarrassment could get re lief and have a fair chance to start anew; but a rogue could bo nabbed be fore making away with his plunder. The matter now goes to a conference between representatives of the senate nnd tho house. It Is to be hoped that they will speedily agree. To General Ignaclo Andrnde, the now president of Venezuela, whose term of ofllce began yesterday, Americans wish well. Ho lias proved himself a brave and a generous man; ho Is reputed to bo nn admirable executive, and if he shall use his power In trust for tho welfare of his countrymen, avoiding tho weakness common to rulers In South America, whoso besetting sin Is inordinate nmbltlon, the republic over which ho Is to preside will have ample reason to honor his memory. Senator Quay's bill to appropriate $1,500,000 for the construction of a new white house ought to pass. The pres ent home of our presidents Is situated on tho edge of a malarial swamp, is full of mold, bad smells nnd disease germs and Is fifty years behind the times. It Is more like a prison than a fit abode for the executive of the great est nation of modern times. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dally Horoscope Dititvn bvAJacchus, The Tribune Astrologer.

Till: NATIONAIj temitu. New York Commercial Advertiser. Tho criminal folly nnd Insane greed for notoriety and money of two un scrupulous nowHpppcr adventurers only sets In stronger light tho admlrablo spirit and behavior of tho people of the United States In this sudden shock of sorrow and alarm, so naturnlly provocative of suspicion nnd nnger. Tho coolness and eolf-restralnt of Captain Slgsbee wero typical of tho national temper. The gov ernment set tho example. From tho pres ident down It has kept Its head. Tlio attitude of tho president has been an nd mlrable compound of senso and dignity, wlso self-restrnlnt in tho presence of sudden and mysterious events, and re served power of action at tho Instant development of a cWr emergency. In all cases ho has been iim'atod by his ex ecutive subordinates. Tho only apparent exceptions have been disproved by denial 'iy Washington officials of language put Into their mouths by newspapers reck less of truth nnd decency. Kven as low In authority and responsibility ns hc naval staff and line, thero has bee" not able resorvo nnd discretion in discussing tlu incident. The chosen official serants of tlio republic usually represent rather faithfully the average feeling and opin ion of tho American people, and this caso proves tho rule. They who nro mo3t in touch with public opinion and every tx.itti can generalize from his own clrclo of acquaintance know that the average clt lzn Is In entlro sympathy with tho teinj:cr of the government nnd regards chrumntlc war extras and tocsin-sounding prairie governors with amused con tcmrt. NO SECTIONALISM IN WAR. From tho Syracuse Post. If the United States should have war with Spain, no section of tho country would bo moro eager to defend the honor of tho flag than the South. Tho ex-rebel cavalry officer. General Wheeler, of Ala bama, has already tendered his services to tho president, nnd if war wero de clared that dashing Southern soldier would be one of tho first In tho field. Whatever lingering feeling of prejudice or hostility thero may bo between the North nnd South as regards local inter ests, there would bo only a friendly riv alry for tho honor of protecting the flag against a foreign foe. Tho Mexican war interested especially men of the South. A war with Spain would also arouso their enthusiasm and excite their patriotism. Many Southern ers aro undoubtedly serving as officers in tho Cuban army today. Some of tho liveliest war talk Jn recent months has como from former confederate soldiers. War is always a tcrrlblo experience for nny nntlon. but ono of tho compensating features of a war between tho United Stntes and any foreign power would bo tho effect It would have In welding to pether the sections onco divided. Thero would bo no North, no South, no Kast, no West, but a strong, united patriotic Union ready to sustain tho government and the honor of tho nation at any cost. OIIIl NAVAIi STRENGTH AND SPAIN'S. From tho New York Herald. Tho available armored forco of tho two countries today may be summarized as follows: Total displacement of tho six armored ships of Spain ready for sea, 47, 000 tons. Total displacement of tho twelvo armored ships of the United States ready for sea, 82,600 tons. If all the guns of the Spanish armored fleet wero flted at once the weight of the metal thrown would bo about seven tons. Tho average weight of each shot per gun would bo 207 pounds about tho weight or the projectile that would bo fired from a 7-inch gun. The weight of metal thrown by all tho guns of tho United States' ar mored fleet would bo about seventeen tons. Tho average weight of each shot is therefore 317 pounds, corresponding to tho weight of a projectilo for a 9-Inch gun. Excluding gunboats of less than 500 tons displacement, Spain has thlrty-soven un nrmored seagoing ships, as against tho United States' twenty-soven. Rut tho displacement of this unarmored tonnage is only 50,000 for Spain, whereas it Is 81,000 for tho United States. There 13 also ob servable a great superiority in our ships In tho number of guns they carry, tho Spanish vessels mounting 131 guns and tho American 237. CU1IAN WAR SHOULD STOP. Interview with General Booth. Tho Cuban butchery should stop. It should fatop. If need be, by tho inter vention of tlio United States. England is not jealous of America. The Individ ual Englishman would see young Amer ica prosper in peace. I do not think tho fur of tho Rrltlsh lion would rise should Uncle Sam tight tho Dons. Tlio Cuban war should stop at any cost and that Is admitting a great deal for as conser vallvo'an Englishman as I am. Tho Chnrllable View. From tlio Cleveland Tlaln-Dealer.
