Too many mines and minors is Chlof Hrotvnleo'a dlnsnoila of the 111 health of the coal ttado. Vou can put It that way or you can say too little business for the facilities at hand. An Eventful Week. The present week promises to he one of historical Importance, although It may not end ns sensationally as It will uiKIUfstlonahly begin. The pending to coiiKies today of the report of the Slajne court' of inquiry will certainly start the week off with a rush. Al- thouKh the verdict of that court is everywhere understood in substance, the publication of it in detail will un doubtedly stimulate the pent-up excite ment and InliiK the country nearer to a crisis than It has yet been during this whole Cuban episode. N doubt the president Is wise in de ciding not to make .the finding of the court the basis of an immediate con-troti-rsy with Spain. In all probability the Maine was blown up as the result of a well-mnturpd plot to Introduce in to the general Cuban sltuutlon an ele ment which would be the means of diverting the thoughts of the American people away fiom the horrible and In human internal conditions of Cuba and enmesh our government in a series of diplomatic negotiations which would leave Spain free for a time to continue her "pacification" of the Island. In , Mipport of thi! theory it needs only to lie understood that the president, pi lor to tile Maine disaster, had fixed upon March 1 ns the date of active Interven tion In Cuba and to remember that the Mnlne ns destroyed just thirteen days before, under circumstances hinting at olllclai connivance. Hut for all thut, it will not be likely to sit well upon the American consciousness that for the deliberate assassination of 2CC brave American sailots, perpetrated In the moct treacherous and cowardly man ner, there Is to be taken no immediate step toward satisfaction; and it may be doubted by many, possibly Includ ing some members of congress, whether the world lias yet progressed suffic iently far In the dlieetion of the higher civilization to lender this lofty exhi bition of Christian humility nnd un selfishness wholly safe or expedient. Another Important probability of the week is that a vote of money may be asked of congiess for the purpose of succoring Spain's victims. This re quest will and should be granted unani mously, but In the present temper of congress there will no doubt be In quiries as to the length of time during which the administration is willing to assume the enre of these Spanish sub jects while Spnln in the meantime Is lcrt free to Invest her few remaining pesetas In war ships, coast fortifica tions and ammunition. Such inquiries will not necessarily imply lack of faith In the president but rather natural and proper Interest in .1 matter of the utmost nutional concern. Since It Is apparent to everybody that Spnln must get or be put out of Cuba absolutely, the granting of more grace to her when it is moially ccitaln that It will not bo appreciated, Inevitably opens the door to restlessnes-s in congress. So that, in any event, this week will be a notable one. The best advice we can offer Is to keep cool and read The Tribune for the latest and most :e llable news. Tho fact that of the D9.0S3 men nnd boys employed in and about the an thracite coal mines of Pennsylvania, 22,860 nro aliens who have not taken the pains to apply for naturalization la significant. These foreigners should be Americanized or put out. Putting them out is not fensible. Therefore, they should be Americanized. To at tempt this would constitute fully ns patriotic an endeavor as to volunteer to lick Spain. Preposterous. Tho report which alleges that Spain has -asked this government to give It Vntll April CO to try to win the Cuban Insurgents -over by a now proffer of amplified autonomy Involving practi cal independence but an annual pay ment of tribute money to Spain, Is probable, Tho report that President Jloftlniey is considering this overture Is possible. But tho statement that the United States will givo its assent t;0 tJdVproposltlon Is preposterous. There nro some things which cannot bo compromised. Th devil cannot compromise with God. Sin cannot ipmpvpmlBo with virtue. A nation which has assassinated 400,000 colonial subjects cannot expect that tho armed relatives of its victims will accommo date' themselves to Its necessity by ac cepting a compromise which would wrlte-'every ono of them down as liars and cowards. For tho United States t'o become a party to tho urging of mich a compromlso on tho Cuban in fturgents would be for it to assume a moial partnership In Spain's admin istrative crimes. Such a partnership will never be'toferdted by tho Ameri can people. 2. The .president nuturally is anxious for jiea'ce. Vut the people to u, man are determined upon Cuban Independence. They havo como to tho conclusion that this lonir pending matter must be set tled now.onco niid forever. They will jtot stop short of this. They -will not permit nny official In authority, over them to halt on the way to thlt end It Is Inconceivable that William Mc Kinley will subject himself and Ills party to tho peril of attempting to continue tho Hfo of, Spanish sover eignty in Cuba, We have no fear that he will propose anything of that sort. Senator Morgan, who Is alleged by tho Mugwumps to be the biggest Jingo In tho senate, and that means that he is a red-blooded American, saya he lu willing to wait fuvhllu yet before tack ling Spain. Asked why, lie says we aren't ready yet. We uro glad to be able to ncquit tho gentleman from Ala bama of personal responsibility for this unreadiness. If congress In years gone by h'ad listened to his good advice there would not be tho piescnt sickening chow of eleventh-hour haste to protect our valuable eottfet against the third rate navy or a tenth-rate nnd bank rupt Huropean power. An Indication. furious information, Indeed, In con tained in a tlnvana dispatch to the Sun to the effect that the Spanish Red Cross society has piesented a protest to tho Spanish government, signed by nil Its members in Havana, agalnit the worK in Cuba of the American Rod Cross society. These objectors, we are Informed, say It Is detrimental to their good name, and against all precedent, for foreigners to bo allowed to come to Cuba and nssume to carry on char itable wot Its, whereby the members of the home society, Spaniards by birth and feeling, arc Ignored even by ofll clals, ns Is the case In tho municipality of Jarnco. They observe with profound dlgust that Miss Clara Eaiton, "a for eign woman," has come here nnd is unjustly honored with the title of "adopted daughter of tho town of Jar nco," when not the slightest reward is given to the "Spanish ladles" who have devoted their time to relieving the suf ferings of the sick, wounded and poor. "Why," the protest snys, "me the for eigners honoted while the work of the Spaniards Is not even mentioned?" The Sun, In commenting upon Hie foiecolng dispatch, Hhows thut the pro test Is wholly unjutt. "Tha Spanish Hod Cros society." It says, "did noth ing to remedy the awful calamities of the people of Cuba before tho arrival of Miss Clara Harton In the island. When Miss Barton went to Cuba the Spanish lied Cross society announced that Its work had stopped because Its funds had been exhausted by helping the Si anlsh sick and wounded soldiers who returned to Spain. Furthermore, the Spanish lied Cross society does not deserve its name. Under the rules adopted by the convention of Geneva, tho Iteil Cvos-s societies all over tho voi Id are Instructed to treat tho wound ed and sick of all armies, no matter what their political ideas or allegiance may be. Tiiey are to give jikg irem ment to all in the interests of human ity. The Spanish Ked Cross society, how'PVer, treated the Spanish soldiers, giving no help whatever to the In surgents. The Cuban wounded were massacred in their Hospitals 1y the Spanish troops. With regard to the title of 'adopted daughter of Jaruco,' given to Miss Clara Hat ton by the mu nicipality of that cly, it may bf said that it is well deserved. Miss Barton found theto a hospital containing 300 sick without bedclothlng, food or med icine. The sick were not attended. The hospital funds amounted to Just J1.40. Miss Unrton started a good hospital, provided It with money, medicines, nnd assistant", relieved the poor and, ac cording to the Spanish official report of Feb. 19, 'her visit was a blessing to Jaruco.' " If the protest of tho Spanish society is a fair illustration of the attitude of the Spanish element In Cuba, townrd Americans who visit that Island for humanitarian purposes, it will not take long for tho proposed charitable Inter vention of our government to ripen into war. What the American navy needs most at this time, as wo learn from Washington dispatches. Is tho mere matter of ships, officers nnd men. A Good nan for the Place. Tho chief Washington correspondent of tho New York Sun, who is one of t'io best Judges of public men at the na tional capital, pays tho appended high tribute to tho assistant nnd virtually nctlng secretary of state, Hon. William V.. Day, of Canton, O.: Judge Day Is tho sphinx of tho admin istration, and even senators of influence nnd prominence who talk with him are unablo to learn from his lips or from his manner the status of the controversy with Spain. The only opportunity that has been offered to get. an Inkling of what Judgo Dav la doing or thinking occurred tho other night at tho confer ence of leading senators, at which tho assistant secretary was present. At thut confereneo It was learned for the first time, and much to the surprise of thoso who participated, that tho real secretary of htato is tho man of iron of tho cab inet, although not a member of It. It was learned that ho favors a policy of direct Intervention for the purposo of scouring Independence for Cuba, nnd that ho does not believe that any policy short of this will meet the demands of tho American people or set tho Cubans frco. It is generally believed that tho president has como to Judge Day's way of" think ing. How true this Is we havo no means of knowing. Judge Day denied last week that ho had said war was In evitable, as it clearly was proper for him to do. Officially It Is not his place to make public any opinion whatever unkss at the command or suggestion of his superior officer. But apart from this point one or two things have come to the public knowledge concerning this gentleman which recommends him to public confidents and esteem. Tho way be handled De home was especially candid and to tho point. When he re ceived the text of the objectionable letter which it had been alleged that De Lome wrote he put it in his pocket and went to see Do Lome. This wns not perhaps in strict accordance with the traditions of diplomacy, but It was honorable and direct. It settled in a few minutes, tuid settled finally, a matter that might otherwise have been parleyed over nnd tossed about for hours or days. It was the plain Yankee way and what It lacked In convontlon nllty it made up in good common sense. More of that candid spirit in diplomacy would materially simplify the problems of government. Hannls Taylor, who served during the second. ' Cleveland administration as American) minister to Spain, was quoted a tew weeks ago ns having said that tho present nctlns secretary of state, Judge Day, according to reports had not sufficient tact or executive ability to conduct a cross-roads store. We doubt If Mr. Tnylor used these words, but If he did he was probably misinformed. Judge Day has shown strength of character In his reticence. He has shown sound Judgment nnd dis cretion in the De Lome incident. If his attitude on the Cuban issue 19 ns stated above, ho has exhibited another strong characteristic, the ability ac curately to pierce through the artificial atmospliere surrounding government officials and gauge uccurateb the will of the great masses of tho people who don't as a rule send lobbyists and com mittees and professional but'.onholers to the capital to pull tho wool over the eyes of the men who vun the govern ment. Wo prefer to believe the best of Judge Day, especially ns the time Is appar ently near when he may be the secre tary of state In name as well ns fact. And there is need in cabinet circles Just now of "a man of Iron." If Day is such n man the country will soon find it out and rejoice accordingly. State Chairman Elkln has denied that he ever expressed uncertainty ns to whether ho would support John AVanamaker for governor in the event of the latter's nomination. Such a de ntal is hardly necessary. No one who knows John F. Elkln has had any doubt of his Republicanism. . Colonel Ingcrsoll says he Is In favor of an International court, controlling the only army and navy in the world and making all nations respect Its de crees. The colonel will be an old man ere this dream is realized. Whllo Brother Wanamnker's spell binders entertain the multitude the crafty minions of Bad Man Quay will doubtless go right on capturing the delegates. Senor Polo, tho Spanish minister at Washington, wants all American re porters hanged. That would undoubt edly be a. good thing for Spain. Illustrating OUr Military Strength From the Philadelphia Press. nT IS customary to state tho reserve military strength of tho United States at 10,000,000 men. It is not be yond possibility that this number " might actually bo called into the Held in a supremo issuo involving the national existence. France, with a pop ulation of only 3S,O0O,0OO, has a grand war total of all forces of about 3,du0,000 men, or ono In ten of the population. Similar proportion would give this country 7,r0, 000 men as an nrmy of defense entirely feasible, according to European preced ents. Ten million men. parading by fours front, would reach right across the Unit ed States from New York to San Fran cisco, with an Interval of only six feet between files. In such a host our present regular army, nmoup.ing. with tho engin eer corps, signal men, hospital forces and tho two additional regiments of artillery recently authorized, to but 29,000 men, would cut a small figure. By fours front ond with 3lx feet interval, they would form but eight miles of the living wall across the continent, reaching not qulto to Newark. N. J. The entire militia of all the states, possibly 120,000 men at tho utmost, would only cover thirty-four miles of tho line. Regulars nnd militia of all tho btates, possibly 120,000 men nt the utmost, would only cover thirty-four miles of tho line. Regulars and militia together, the soldiers now In arms, would reach from New York only to Princeton, N. J. From that point the wall of men forming tho complement of the full war strength of 7,00o,0Oi) would reach to salt Lake City, and tho last reserve, never likely to bo called upon, certain never to be called upon savo In direst extremity, would complete tho distance to the Gol den Gate. o No such lmprcssivo showing can be mado of naval resources. We have 91 new vessels of all sIzcb, 16 old ones cap ablo of taking the sea, 12 seaworthy naval tugs nnd some CO largo vessels In the nave' reserve 189 In all. Our Atlantic, Pacli.c and Gulf coasts reach 8,000 miles, disregarding the minor indentations: so that wo havo ono war vessel available for every 12 miles of coast. Placed at such Intervals, our ships would be far out of hlght of each other. Fortunately, however, naval defenses aro not thus ar ranged. It is harbors, not coasts, that need guarding, nnd our potential naval strength Is vastly more than 2S9 vessels. More than half the private steam yachts of tho country are In the Naval Reserve and these, which are fully available as scout ond dispatch boats, add greatly to our defensive powers at sea. There are now in Cuban waters the Massachusetts, Texas, Indiana, Iowa, Nashville, Marble head, Fern. Montgomery, Detroit, New York. Ericsson. Cushlng, Vlcksburg, An napolis, Cincinnati, Castlne. Brooklyn, Wilmington and Newport. These various ships, now lying between Cuba and the United States, have a total armament of thrco hundred and ninety-eight guns. Our Atlnntlc seaboard Is now protected by the Vesuvius. Amphltrlte. Essex. Machlas, Foote. Wlnslow, Puritan, Mlantonomah. Minneapolis, Columbia, Katahdin and Terror. SRNAT0R THURSTON'S SPEECH. From tho Philadelphia Lodger. Tho London Standard has declared that Senator Thurston's address to the sen ate on tho subject of Spanish ntrocitleB In Cuba was nn Insult to Spain and "a flagrant example of tho recklessness of American politicians In goading the Span ish pcoplo to war." Tho Insult lies, of course, as It can lie nowhere else, In Senator Thurston's descriptions of the Bcenes, of which ho was an eye wltnoss, of tho barbarities practiced by tho Span ish military authorities upon not a few, but upon nunurcus ot tuousanus or non combatants men, women and children Indiscriminately. If the senator's state ments of the cruelty, suffering and mis ery which ho saw In Cuba wero true ho did not insult Spain by making them unless tho truth be nn Insult and bar barity against the Innocent and help less victims of military rule bo commend able. o Thero was little said by Senator Thurs ton of tho wretched condition of tho Cu bans which had not been said before, the nccuracy of which had not been Irre futably proved by multitudes of trust worthy witnesses. That tho non-combatant Cubans within the sphere of mili tary operations had been driven from their homes, and held, Uko tho beasta of tho earth that perish, within the barren, fruitless trochns, where they could neith er work, beg nor steal for their bread; where men, women nnd children, through all seasons, In nil weather, died from starvation, fever and pitiless exposure, by tho scores or hundreds of thousands wero facts known long before Senator Thurston went to Cuba. When tho Span ish authorities consented that tho human ity of the people of thts country should feed the starving, minister to tho sick, nnd bury the dying Cubans, to whom Spanish barbarity had brought hunger, disease and death, these ai- thoritles themselves admitted tho truth of nil that Senator Thurston has declared to bo tho truth as ho himself has seen it. Senator Troctor had previously testi fied to tho senate nnd tho world of his personal knowledge of tho name facts. These nro but two of tho unimpeach able witnesses to the unspeakable bar bnrlsm, tho deliberately connived cruelty of Spain which has doomed multitudes of non-combatants In Cuba to every form of human torture, agony nnd misery which tho deviltry of tho surviving spirit of tho Spanish Inquisition, or of Hint of tho Duke of Alva could devlso or exe cute. A little while ago tho conscience and tho llghtcoun anger of tho British nation were stirred to their depths by the stories of the barbarity of tho Turks In Aimenla. Yet, tho Turks were merci ful In the degree of their cruelty and ben eficently restrained lu their exercise of It In Armenia compared with tho cruelty of Spain In Cuba. This country Is feed ing tho starving, nursing the, sick, bury ing the dead upon whom Spain wantonly inflicted starvation, sickness nnd death. o Is it nn insult to Spain to say that she has done that which she confesses to have done? If so. Senator Thurston, Senator 1'roctor and hundreds of others who have at various times, in different ways, told the same dreadful story of Spanish horrors in Cuba have Insulted her. The truth in this case is that Spain has not been Insulted by tho mere re rltal of her barbarities; that humanity, that civilization liavo been Insulted by what Spain has done; that the world has been shocked by tho atrocious deeds of tho Spanish butcher, Wcyler. who has, by his Inhuman crimes In Cuba, made the deeds of tho Duke of Alva, In tho Netherlands, more than respectable: that of such outrages against humanity as her agonts have been guilty, Spain has, by approving, mado herself responsible to Qod nnd mankind. How enn Spain bo Insulted whllo her hands are reeking with the innocent blood of women nnd children whom she has done to denth by cruelty unexampled in the nineteenth century? Till: ONE SUIMtn.ME DUTV. From tho Philadelphia Ledger. In the emergency that confronts us It Is tho duty of patriotic Americans to hold up the arms of tho president, his constitutional advisers and congress, who will, wo do not doubt, be directed to whatever they do by the wise, consid erate Judgment of tho people, and not by mere clamor. The people do not want war, If war can bo avoided with honor to our flag and with that solemn duty to humanity which a nation so powerful and Just ns Is this one. Is bounden to observe. Neither Is It to be lightly as sumed that the president, his cabinet, or congress, wants war, nor Is It to be similarly assumed that should the honor of tho country and tho claims of human ity mako war necessary, they will shrink from tjio duty of meeting It like men of a nation that was born of war. They also have their duty to do and their obligations to fulfill as trusted servants of the people, nnd they should be con fidently relied upon by their great con stituency to discharge their duty, and, In high conscience, to keep all their obligations. Faith In the wisdom, patriot Ism and courage of their government Is the first and greatest duty of tho people. TIIA.T TOKl'EDO FLOTILLA. From the Philadelphia Ledger. Tho sea Is a public highway, and the ships of any nation have a right to go where they please on It, except only that, In extreme cases, they may bo forbidden to approach the shores of another coun try nearer than three miles, but this provision i rarely enforced, nnd never In time of peace, such as prevails at present. Therefore Spain has a perfect right to send her torpedo fleet from the Canaries to Cuba, It sho chooses to do so. It is not nn net of war, though It may bo done with hostile intent. Tho nrgument advanced In this country that, as such vessels nro commonly used for coast-wlso fighting only, and It Is Incon ceivable that tho fleet is Intended for use against the Cuban Insurgents, whom It cannot reach, thcreforo It must be Intended for purposes hostile to the Unit ed States. Persons who hold these lews argue that our government should antici pate its purpose, and send vessels out to meet nnd destroy It on the sea, before It comes within striking distance of our shores. But this would preclpltato a war which wo uro anxious to avoid. We have plenty of vessels to protect our coast against any fleet that Spain can bring against It, and If wo must light. It would bo better to havo somo stronger cause of action than mere suspicion based on the perfectly legitimate movements of Spanish ships. nncEssioxAL.
