HUNKS THAT WAR IS INEVITABLE We Cannot Ilonorablr Aocopt Itopnr ntlon irom 8pln--The Warrior, Who Is Visiting Ills Old Friend, Colonel Hcaumont, nt Wilkes Uarre, Tnlks to n Timei IteporUr. Wllkea-Harre, March 27. Tho Times publishes the following' Interview with General Forsythe, of Washington, which will doubtless he read with much Interest at this time: General George A. Forsythe, of Washington, D. C, Is visiting his old friend and comrade-in-arms, Col. E. H. Heaumont, of this city. General Forsythe has seen thirty years of mil itary service, having served through out the civil war which ho entered as a private. Ho was successively pro moted until he became a cavalry gen eral of General Sheridan's staff. He and Col. Beaumont served together In the Fourth United States cuvalry. For six years General Forsythe has been on the retired list. General Forsythe Is married to a daughter of Col. Beau mont. In view of the present ominous cris is In International affairs the views of such a distinguished personage ns General Forsythe will be of great In terest to the public. His long, active and brilliant military record tends to Rive great weight to his opinion on the Maine affair and the consequent strained relations between the United Htates and Spain. Especially so, as tho nation Is now passing through the greatest crisis which she has known since the great war of secession and since It is acknowledged, even by the most conservative, that we are on the verge of war with Spain. A Times reporter this morning called at the residence of Colonel Beaumont and Interviewed General Forsythe, who talked freely on the present In ternational difficulties and the prob able result of the Main affair. Asked his opinion regarding the blowing up of the Maine, the general said: WHAT EXPOSED THE PLOT. "While I do not wish to forestall the report of the Maine board of Inquiry, I feel no hesitation In giving my Indi vidual opinion on the explosion. Tho Spaniards are a cruel and treacher ous, yet brave people, and, being treacherous themselves, they suspect ed some treachery on the part of the United States government In the presence of the Maine at Havana. I believe the Spaniards, being appre hensive of an attack by the Maine on their warship Alfonso the Twelfth, prepared a mine with the Intention of exploding it under the Maine in case our ship attacked them. The Maine was ordered by the harbor master to anchor by tying to a certain buoy. This she was compelled to do In ac cordance with tho rules which govern foreign ports. The tide swung her directly over the mine. I believe this mine was connected by a wire to an electric battery on board the Alfonso, and I believe that from the Alfonso the mine was exploded. As a matter of course It was expected that the ex plosion of the mine would explode both magazines on board the Maine. Strange to say, however, neither of the magazines were exploded a thing which would probably not happen again In a thousand times." "WAR IS INEVITABLE." "What Is your opinion as to the re sult of the Maine affair do you think we'll have war?" was asked. "I do not see how we can avoid It," answered the general In emphatic tones. "The Spaniards simply mur dered 2GG seamen who were under the protection of the United States Hag at Havana. No reparation that Spain can make for this tragic and atrocious crime can be adequatr nor can any reparation be honorably accepted by the United States. War Is the only means by which the murder of our sea men can be avenged and, In my mind, there Is not a doubt that war Is in evitable." "In your opinion, general, is the United States fully prepared for war?" "Not yet, but we will be when hostil ities break out. How soon that will be I cannot, of course, say, but It cannot be any great length of time." "Is Spain prepared for war?" SPAIN PREPARED FOR WAR. "She is," replied the general, "and we must not deceive ourselves as to Spain's strength. Her navy Is equal to ours, even In view of the recent pur chase of vessels by the United States, and the Spanish people are heavily taxed in order to furnish the sinews of war. Moreover, the Spaniards are a brave, proud and aggressive peopls and will make a desperate effort to main tain her prestige and make the United States and the world feel her power." "You believe, then, that the contest will not te altogether one-sided?" "I am certain that war with Spain will 1h no picnic for the United States," answered the general, while his eyes Hashed with a characteristic military fire. "It will be a long, stubbornly fought conllict and wll be fraught with nil tho usual horrors, privations and loss of life. I am of the opinion that the war will last anywhere from fifteen months to two years." "What do you think will be the ulti mate outcome?" UNITED STATES WILL WIN. "We will win, of course," said the general confidently, "but we will lose a .great many men." "Where do you think most of the fighting will bo done on land or water?" "There will bo eomo heavy fighting In Cuba, where there is already n large Spanish army. On the breaking out of hostilities the United States will doubt lessly send an Immense force to Cuba to copn with the Spanish army there. There will also, no doubt, be some big naval battles." "How will the war between the United States and Spain affect the Cubans' struggle for liberty?" "It cannot fall to result In Spain's losing control of tho Island," was the reply. "The United States forces will' secure possession of It as the war pro ceeds and the final result will be Cuba's complete Independence or her annexe tlon to tho United States probably the former." FORSYTHE AS A SOLDIER. General George A, Forsy.lhe's record, during the Civil war and since, has been a most creditable, and even a lirllllunt one. Besides; having been en gaged In some of the fiercest conflicts pf the mast stupendous ptnicglo tbat ever shook a nation, he has tilnce seen a grjat deal of actlvo service on the frontier whllo fighting the Indians, and he can-leu tho scar of a severe wound sustained In ono of the bloodv battles with tho Reds. His record Is tbat of a very bravo soldier, and his knowledge of military matters makes him an au thority In this respect. Ho possesses the .truo patriotic and martial Instinct, and, by- reason of his long experience he knows Just wliat war Is and has a good Idea of what Is adequate cause for such a terrible contention between nations. Therefore his opinion ns to the present outlook Is of unusual Im portance and Interest. General For sythe is a regular contributor to Har per's, his writings helng of military events which he has passed through and temlnlscences thereof. In the April number of Harper's there appears from his pen a contribution entitled, "The Closing Scene at Appomattox Court House." 0 SALE OF STOCK. The FnmotiB Horses nt Clorerdoll nt Auction.

If the president should make n recommenda tion or tho committee on foreign rela tions n report the senate would at once become the center of an animated dis cussion, tho result of which would be some radical declaration against Spain. The problem now Is to hold the expres sion of opinion down to tho minimum pending the negotiations of tho presi dent and the deliberations of the com mittee. There is very little heart In the sen ate for any other business than that relating to Cuba and tho probabilities aro that comparatively little will bo done and that the sessions will be com paratively short. Aside from Senator Money's speech there Is a special order providing for the taking up of the pri vate pension bills on the calendar Mon day, beginning at 1 o'clock. Tuesday at 2 o'clock eulogies will be delivered on the late Senator Earle, of South Carolina, Senator Caffery's Bpeech on the quarantine bill, which has already run for two davs, has not been com pleted and It may be resumed during the week. It may be said In a general way, however, that Cuba will occupy almost the entire thought, If It is not the subject of the speech of the senate for the week, and while It may be pos sible to practically suppress audible reference to tho subject It Is most like ly to find opportunity for some vent This opportunity will probably be af forded on a resolution for the appro priation of money to relieve the dis tress of the Cuban reconcentradoes. The sundry civil appropriation bill probably wll be reported to the senate Monday and taken up for consideration later In the week. NEW PAINT FOR THE WARSHIPS. The Color to Do Left to the Jmlgmunt ol Squadron Commanders. Washington, March 27. Secretary Long has deferred to tho Judgment of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt as to the color which .the vessels of the navy are to be painted. Yesterday It was an nounced that the white which was the distinctive color of and has given the name to the squadrons of the United Stotes was to be changed to a piratical black. To this color some objection way made by naval officers, as It was thought to afford too striking a target for an enemy's guns. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt this morning had a conference with Captain Crownlnshleld, Chief of the bureau of navigation, at which Mr. Roosevelt an nounced that he would leave the mat ter of painting the ships to the squad ron commanders, and orders to that ef fect will be promulgated. It seems like ly that the color to be selected by the squadron commanders will be a dull lead. That color will furnish a poor tar get, and the vessels will not be dis cernible, It Is said, at so great a dis tance at sea. . POLICE COURT NEWS.
