After homo unavoidable delay, arrange

shall hri carter receive piomptly
throughout the iHy a complete bulle
tin telegraphic service The public Is
tmdltilly- Invited to uall Itself of this
nppoi utility of keeping continually in
foimed on this uppermost subject of
public Interest and speculation
Concerning Peace.
The American Peace society of Bos
ton speaking through Its hoard of dt
lectori, has addressed o President Mc.
Ktnley a message strotiglv cndoislng
his pohcj in dealing with tho lelatlons
of the United States with Spain and
Cub.'. This mcFsatje says
'Humane men throughout the
voi Id (and nowhere &o strongly
as In the United Stalss) deploic the dls
tiets and suffeiintr In tho Cuban popu
lation I'voiy influence possible to the
United States should be excited to ex
terminate these honible conditions, ev
ery influence short of wai. We ask for
no policy of cow at dice, but of stern
self-conttol Sentiment and smpathy
must yield to the strong behests of
conscience. The Christian conscience
of our people Insists tint peace is a
nobler and more humane policy than
wai. May God give to you, our hon
ored pi evident, to the trusted cabinet,
and to the congress of the countiv con
tinued stiength, courage, and wisdom
to adhere to a policy of peace, even if
it needs great patience. Wo believe
that such a course ns you have bo far
pursued, if continued a little longer,
will had to a pacific solution of all the
difficulties now pending, a solution
which will be true to tho noblest Ideas
nnd hopes of our powerful Christian
nation, and at the same time in no
way fal to the claims of Justice and
humanltj."
Wth this stiing petition for peace,
the better sentiment of the countiy will
lime?, under cettaln conditions, which
need to be more emphatically stated.
In dealing with a mad dog It Is gen
et ally necessaiy to use force. Spain's
couise In Cuba, shows that she Is a mad
dug among the nations Poweiless to
govern, she has shown simply madness
and venom In Inflicting Intolerable In
Jury. Does the Ameiloan Peace so
ciety Imagine that a cateer such as
Spiln has shown duilng the last two
ears of her bloody rule In Cuba can be
stopped by pei suasion, diplomacy and
(oncesblon alone? Does It not demand
at once a fli in and, If necessary, a re
trlhuthe couise'
If we understand the poltlon of the
American Peace society it lb not only
opposed to war, but also to prepared
ness for war to latge and efficient na
vies, to strong and well disciplined ar
mies nnd militia, to effective coast fortification-
and the power for peace that
jesldes In thotough readiness for war.
TIiIh Is the position of most peace so
cieties uii'l professional pepco advo
cates Yet docs this Boston organiza
tion Imagine for an Instant that If It
wen? not for the armed strength which
this country 1 now showing, prepara
tory. If necessaiy, to Its convincing use
against Spain, the government at Mad
ildiwould today pay any attention
whatever to our humaultailan protests
or Inidgo an inch from the arrogant
nnd nruel stand which is habitual with
the Spanish nation?
Certainly the American people want
peace, nut they want peace as well In
Cuba ns in thflr own country and on
tho high seas. They don't want a peace
tno r.ign seas. Tiiey aon't want a peace
at home which has to bo pieserved at
tho price
abroad.
of dishonor and Insult
In one yenr England intends without
any fuss to spend on her navy nearly
two nnd one-hulf as much money as
congress vdted for our national de
fenee. Americans nuarly dropped dead
at tno unexpctcd liberality of con
gress; but in nnglani parliament's
11 15, 000,000 appropriation hardly excites
remark. They order some things bet
ter abroad.
m
For-Ua to Say.
"Cuba elms to be uh free as the
United States, Is this government to
aro" upon her with the cold eyes of
diplomacy nnd spend the days in cab
ling with Madrid, while her citizens

bids tho massacre of Wyoming to be

for tho United States to succor this
people struffffllnB In our footsteps for
the realization of tho flame vision that
Inspired ourselves, and to liberate them
from Spain, even If the dynasty falls."
New York Sun.
Perhaps Secretary of the Common
wealth Martin begins to regard Phila
delphia politics as too impure for a
decent man to be Identified with.
The Will of tho People.
The dominant sentiment of the coun
try is embodied In tho various resolu
tions vesterday Introduced In congress
preparatory to the recognition and ac
complishment of Cuban Independence.
This Is the demand of humanity, It Is
the behest of Justice. If It shall neces
sitate war, war will be accepted by the
Ametlcan people with a depth and
breadth of patriotism suggestive of tho
republic's natal day.
Upon Spain Is tho choice. Freedom
for Cuba, complete, unconditional and
Immediate, or war, swift, Derce and
overwhelming. The temper of congress
la the temper of the American people.
This matter has been dragging too
long. It must now be settled,
Senator Klltlns savs the Mains dis
aster does not differ from the lynch
ing of those Italians In Jsevv Orleans
durlr'g tho Mafia eeltetnent. Tor that
affair oui government paid an Indem
nity and expressed i egrets. Has Spain
yet offered unv reparation for the blow
ing up ot the Maine?
The Belligerents Compared.
Tim attitude of Spain toward the
Cuban instil gents Is a changing one,
but the attitude of the Cuban Inwur
gents toward Spain has not ftom the
beginning changed in the slightest
degiee
Spain Initially branded the Insur
gents as bandits nnd outlaws, to be
hunted dow n and shot w henever and
wherever possible. During this period,
although there weie pitched battles
between Spain's forces and the Cuban
army of Ubeiatlon, Spain took no pris
oner of wai. All men captured by her
weie macheled, all women first out
raged and then killed Tho wounded In
the hospitals weie muidercd In cold
blood. liven babes weie not spared.
At a later period Spain conceived a
sufficient appreciation for tho lnsui
gents to Impel her to fix up a cunning
scheme of autonomy, coupled with
offers of amnebty and bribes. The
slaughter of non-combatants by con
centiation was kept up, but for the
leaders of the foice.s "In the woods"
there were ensh and promises galore.
No longer bandits, tho Insui gents at
this period were spoken of In Spain's
official communications as 'misguided
subjects." Boodle and taffy were
brought Into requisition In the hope of
winning them over or causing a foi mid
able division in their innks.
We ale told today that Spain is will
ing to go vet fmther In tho direction
of placating these brigands and free
booters She Is ready now, It seems,
to give to these "bandits," and "out
laws" of former days, virtual control
of the island provided they will con
sent to overlook her wholesale assass
ination of their aged parents, wives,
slsteis and svvectheaits, pay pait of
her throat-cutting expenses, jleld nn
annual cash tribute and continue al
legiance to the dirty Spanish flag Her
"honor," her "ptlceless and untarn
ished honor," will not permit her to
consider any additional terms of peace.
As for the Maine, that blew up of Its
own accord, or because of the careless
ness of Its pig officers.
Throughout these shifting attitudes
of Spain the motto of tho Cuban patri
ots, fixed and unalterable, has been:
"Independence or Death." To this
principle the gallant Maceo yielded up
his life, the last of seven brothers who
were sacrificed in Cuba's long and
stormy battle for freedom. While
fighting for this principle the dare
devil Aranguren was tiapped and shot.
As marts rs to it 35,000 Cubans died In
the Ten Years wat and 400,000 to 500,000
other Cubans have been assassinated
within the past three years. In sup
port of it Maximo Gomez, undaunted
nt the age of 74 years, and command
ing altogether nearly 50,000 aimed men,
defies the Spaniard and controls abso
lutely three-fourths of Cuba. Well may
Senor Quesada, the Cuban charge
d'affalis at Washington, say
"With all due lespect to the president
of the United States, any proposition
that he may present to the insurgentr,
short ot recognizing the Independence
of Cuba, will be rejected. Cuba will
never nccept anything short of Cuban
Independence from Spain. It Is not the
husk of llbeity that we desire. Auton
omy in any form is hateful to Cuba.
She has suffeied too much from Spain
to mulntaln any iclatlons with her
whatsoever that would Indicate or ap
proach anything looking toward vas
salage on our part. If the United States
government does not wish to aid us in
gaining our liberties, let her frankly
say so at once. Wo will then know
what to expect. Cuba will never sur
1 7 ...
I rend?r tosPaln " the last man that
cun milium u inuHKui is nuit'u or cap
tured." This is an attitude which decent
Americans can tespect. It is what we
would sav and do under similar cir
cumstances. Tho supteme court of Maine has de
cided that tho neighbors of a man
who builds a "splto wall," that is,
a closed fence unnecessarily high and
calculated to obstiuct the view, may
collect damages. What Is now needed
Is a decision which will piotect the
property-owner whose ,next-door
neighbor goes into the cheap John
rookery business.
Advices from Manzanlllo, Cuba, say
the Spanish troops thaio are liteially
starving to death. Yet tho Spaniards
In Havann cheerfully hold fetes and
festivals for the purpose of lalslng- a
new warohlp fund, Spanish pati lot
Ism is quecrly adjusted,
Tho Philadelphia Pi ess Is Inclined to
think that England's present fiieudll
ness for the United States Isj duo large
ly to tho number of American women
who have married English husbands.
An export bounty on Kngllsh-bound
wives, nccordlng to this view, would
bo one strong auxiliary of peace.
Because Judge Bradley of tho district
of Columbia courts, niter sentencing to
death a particularly brual nnudeier,
remarked unofficially to an attorney
who was his personal friend, that
"lynching probably would be better,"
nn effott is being made In Washington
to have him impeached. The lemark
was not creditable, but Judge Bradley
is too good a Jurist to merit condem
nation for one small slip of the tongue.
Fevr Judges would jenialn in office if a
rule of impeachment for such oft-hand
comments not meant to be taken seri
ously .vere made general.
Although the negro population ot
Louisiana equals tho white, that state
Is now supporting nearly three schools
for whites to every one school for
negroes. Depriving the negio ot a
chance to lenrn something and then
disfranchising him because he Is Ignor
ant Is evidently the Louisiana pro
gramme, and It can only be :nt by
pipportlonally cutting down I.ouls
iana's lepresontatlon In congtess.
Mr. Cleveland has "declined to allow
his sonow for those who died on the
Maine to ho perverted to an ndvei Us
ing scheme for the New York Jour
nal " 'Jiho sot row of a consecrated
citizen should by all means be le
opectcd. Penny wise and pound foolish de
scribes to a nicety the past attitude of
congiess and the American people on
the subject of national defence. Now
they aie paying for their expeiience.
A new controversy has nrisen In
Philadelphia, concerning the Keely mo
tor, but the motor itself is as still as
ever.
It would be a good 'plan to wall up
Wall street until the war excitement
has subsided.
The Ameilcan people aie not in a
mood for compromises..
Th? Main? Report
and the Message
Prom the Philadelphia Press
TUB report on tho Maine Is a mnJel
Tho picsldcnt's message meets all
tin needs of the occasion. Tho
Judical calm of ono and the sober
and icstrained dignity of tho other
will commend both to tho country and to
tho civilized woild In the face of nn
nppalllnjr national disaster, whose char
acter, cause nnd condition move to wrath
and Indignation, neither the ofllcers who
Investigate nor the piestdent who an
nounces their decision to congress per
mit tho emotion of the hour to color the
verdict of history.
o
Tho evidence marshalled by the court
In its report is convincing. In a technical
pioblcm of this dllllcult and intricate
churacter It would have been easy to
confuse tho chief Issue with subordinate
details. With skill and precision the
eoint presents two facts which decide the
occuirenco of an external and Internal
explosion. The bottom of the boat was
bent In nnd thrown up, the keel plates
being lifted thlitj -eight feet above their
oilglnnl position The upper deck plat
ing and main deck to port and starboird
aie folded back on each other in an ir
regular V Onlj two causes could have
worked this double leversal of the nor
mal place of keel and deck plates first,
the explosion of a mine without the ves
sel, bending In the bottom, and, second,
the explosion of magazines within tho
Maine, doubling up the docks Bvery
other houice of accident is carefully elim
inated. The discipline of the vessel Is
proved to havo been above reproach Its
magazines, its coil bunkeis and the nu
meious sources and causes of spontan
eous combustion and accidental explosion
on a modern war vessel are accounted
for With brevity, with simplicity, by in
dhect and direct proof, by demonstrating
that no other cause existed and by show
ing that only an explosion, both without
and within, could havo worked the ruin
wrought, tho court of inquiry has pie-
sented nn unanswerable argument which
will decldo the verdict of today and set
tle tho ultimate findings of history.
o
With llko sobriety and reserve, Presi
dent McKlnley has laid tho report nnd
Its accompanying evidence before con
grtss Speaking for a great nation and
addressing the woild not less than con
gress, President McKlnley permits him
self no departure from tho austere dig
nity of his office. With Jealous justice.
Infinitely moro effective than charge or
Invectives he recognizes all that was done
by Spanish authorities after tho explo
sion. Ho allows hlmBelf no suggestion
of responsibility through negllgenco or
design. At no point and In no manner
does ho overstep tho seveio self-respect
duo to ono nation In recording an act
whoso responsibility lies heuvy on the
shoulders of another. He lays all beforo
congress Ho Informs congress nnd tho
people that Spain lias been notified and
lie leaves tho suspected nation befoio
the bar of civilization to mako such an
swer as It can.
o
The "deliberate consideration" which
President McKlnley Invokes the coun
try will give in the same spirit and In
the same unanimous decision with which
It met Captain SIgsbee's plea for a "sus
pense of Judgment" on the morrow of
tho disaster The result has proved tho
wisdom of that advice. Sudden and 111
advlsed action or a premature conclusion
would havo prejudiced tho place and caso
of tho United States, now nnd hereafter.
I3oth stand today abovo criticism. No
where, outside of Spain, will tho findings
of the court bo questioned or challenged,
They are an end of controversy.
o
Tho president's advice today displays
llko wisdom nnd will ripen to a llko re
sult. Whatever the answer of Spain, tho
United States can wait In the signifi
cant Bllenco of the president, shared with
equal dignity by congress, making no
charges and uttering no tnreats, awuro
that time nnd justice work togothei In
a world whero no life Is sacrificed In
vain and no duty dono goes unrewarded
In the arbitrament of fute. Those still
entombed in the wreck, those burled In
a boII alien but not long to be under
tho shadow of an alien flag and those
laid to test at home, all fha desd and
the living all, met death and duty with
unshaken courage and discipline as un
shaken. No cloud rests on them. Their
record Is clear The land waits in armed
sllenae and silent resolution to take
whatever next step tho act or utterance
of Spain may render necesaty to sus
tain tho nation's honor and dlschaigo its
duty to brave men who died bravely In
Its tervtce.
SPANISH "IIONOK."
Prom the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
Spain declares that she will not part
with Cuba for nny conceivable pecuniary
consideration, that her honor would ne
compromised by a surrender tt the Inland
on n business basis and that Castlllan
honor Is too priceless a Jewel Jo admit of
the slightest degree of tarnlshmcnt. Bpaln
Is a humbug of the first water, and her
honor Is of a tesplendcnco similar to that
of a lot ten mackerel, it appears that
some sixty years ago Queen Christina of
Spain becielly offeied both Cuba lend
Porto Jtlco to King Philippe of Prunce
for tho sum of 2,000,000, and that the deal
fell through because tho thrifty Trench
monnrch tried to got a few thousands
thrown off of tho price demanded. Honor
cut no llguro In this transaction, and
Spanish honor is of no more value now
than It was sixty j,onrs ago.
SPAIN'S WARSHIPS AND OURS.
Prom the New York Tribune,
The Spanish wnrshlp 1'clayo has of Into
been mentioned ns nbout equal In
strength to our own Indiana, and a con
flict between tho two has been specu
lated upon as ovcnlv balanced and inde
terminable In advance. Such talk is
based upon gross carelessness of obser
vation, or misinformation, as rcfcrcnco
to tho facts in tho case will show, lhe
Polnjo Is a smaller ship than the In
diana, being of 3S3 tons less displacement,
IS feet khorter, 2U feet narrower and 3
feet less draught. She has less powerlul
engines, developing only 8 000 horsepow
er to the Indiana's 0 378. Her now Doll
eis may give her greater power, but that
is jet to be demonstrated. She is bIx
ycais older than the Indiana. She is just
about us heavily armoied as the Indiana,
In some narts more. In some parts less
She cairtea onlv VX) tons of coal to the
Indlnra'H 1,610 She has the same number
of toipcdo tt'bes. Plnally, In ordnance
she Is fa Infer. t to the American ship.
She has fcui guns, two ot U'i-lnch and
two of lt-Irch calibre; but the Indiana
has four 11-Inch calibre. Tho Pelayo has
ono G 2-Inch and tvelvo 4T-Inch guns,
against the Indiana's e'ght 8-Inch and
four u-Inch guns, nnd the 1'elnyo ha3 six
quick-firing and twelve machine gjns,
ugalnst the Indiana s twenty quick-Ill ins
20-pounders, six quick-firing 1-pounders
and four machine guns. It Is not extrav
agant to say that the Indiana Is, In point
ot offensive nttrnincnt, lullv 30 per cent,
mote effective than tho Pelnyo.
o
Much has been said also about the Bm
peiador Carlos V She Is not a battleship,
but an armored cruiser Let us see how
sho compares with, for example, the
Brooklyn. Tho Spaniard Is i3 tons lighter,
20 feet .shorter, 3 feet broader, 1 foot shal
lower, has 2C9 less horse-power and Is
nearly two knots slowei. She Is less
heavily nrmored thnn tho Brooklyn, ex
cepting over her guns, where her armor
1) thicker. She canles sno tons less coal
She liaj the amo number of torpedo
tubes. She has two ll-lnch guns, which
aie much heavier thnn any on tho Brook
ljn, but whether they will, on tho whole,
prove moro effective thnn tho Brooklns
eight 8-lnch guns Is nn open question.
Certainly tho Spaniard s eight 5't-lnch
quick-firing guns are not equal to the
Brooklyn's twelve 5-lnch, nor her ten
smaller ones to the Brooklyn's sixteen;
nor will her six niarhlne gunb against the
Brooklyn's four give her a winning pre
ponderance. o
Spain has seven other smaller armored
cruisers, heavllj armed, of which tho
Vlzcaa mny bo taken as a tpe, of about
7 000 tons, and 10 to 12 inches of armui,
and each with a couple of 10 or ll-lnch
guns and ten EVfc-Inch guns Against these
the United States has three more bat
tleshlps, each equal in fighting strength
to two of tho Spanish cruisers, and two
armored crulsors eich about equal to ono
of them. In coast-defonso vessels, moni
tors etc , the United States Is tar supe
rior to Spiln, tho latter having pinctlcally
none to bo compared with our Monterej,
Puritan, Terror, Amphltrite, Mlantonomnv
and Monadnock. In gunboats nnd cruH
ers too, tho udrantago Is decidedly on
the side of the United States If to the-o
technical conditions wo ndd tho differ
ences In geographical rosltlon, nnd In skill
and resources, between the two nations
behind these fleets, the odds aie seen to
bo bo hepelcssly against Spain ns to make
It a cause, of wonder that nny rational
Spanish statesman should for a moment
consider tho possibility of war Have as a
last despcrato icsnit for national de
fense; to which, wo mav be sure, Spain
will never be driven by the United States.
nki:i or UNiromtiTY.
Prom tho Philadelphia Ledger.
There Is great need of closer approach
to uniformity in the election laws and,
In particular, In the qualification of vot
eis. At present no two stntes have pre
cisely similar laws on this subject, the
majority party in each commonwealth
adopting such legislation as will best
bervo the Interests of Its oven political
element. There appears to be no cure
for tho disease as tho only remedy, a
national regulation, could only bo secured
by an amendment to the United States
constitution, and In the piesent attitude
of the parties that Is out of tho question.
