An Impo The statement published today, under a Washington date Kine, purporting to give the latest views of the Spanish ministry re- specting the Cub: tuation is ascribed to Senor Folo y Bernabe. It bears the ear- marks of h authorship. He is the only mm Washington of whom it may be he is sociated with or Moret, minister It is true that when the “the attention of person said that Premier of the coionie: nt was called to the Span:sh minister, and his views on it were r ted, he maintained a diplomatic reserve. But that 's diplomacy. It did t from the importance of the de- . for while he did not accept re- Eponsibility for it, Senor Polo y Bernabe said of it, “after reading it carefully, that ared to be giver by one thoroughly et with the situation.” Undeubt- Conversant with the tuation from anish point of view, and desirous of forwarding Spain's ends. The gist of this statement is that omy for Cuba is not a failure, but possesses all the elements of s that it will succeed if the United States will co-operate tcward that end. But the United States is @ menace to autonomy. Its flect of war- ships off the Florida coast is influencing the situation in Cuba adversely to Spain. ‘The elections are coming on, and threats and talk about American intervention are entering as factors into the situ on. Let this fleet be scattered, and the election re- turns will show a triumph for autonomy. But nothing is said about Spain's fleet in Cuban ers. Is not that partly designed, and will it not enter as a factor in the piay for autonomy? Is not ing rot det ker naval power near the island and her force on shore, prep: ring to carty the elec- tions at the point ef her guns? She ex- Feets nothing from the interior, thing from the seaport cities and towns, ntiment may be reached and in- a display of arms. if established in that way, If force is necessary to set it up, force will be necessary to sustain it. A form of self-government which does not recommend itself to a people upon a care- ful examination of its provisions, or is un: acceptable because of a lack of faith on their part in the sincerity of those who offer it, is a failure beyond the hope of rem- edy by its contrivers. It can neither be shot nor pitchforked into sitcce: The United States is interested in peace for Cuba not for a day or a year, but as a permanency. The desire is to see govern- ment in Cuba take that form which shall insure the co-operation of all the inhab- itants of the island. The putting down of the present by a trick or by fdrce on Spain's part would simply make it a mat- ter of calculation as to how jong it would be before another revolt might reasonably be expected. Another war would undoubt- edly come, and then American embarrass- ments would be revived, aud become even greater than they now are. 3 ae The Duty of the Threatened. When a man threatens the life of another man he becomes immediately a proper sub ject for police attention. The course for the person so threatened to pursue is to re- eort without delay to the intended to grant him protection. cannot The law Frovides methods of punishment for those who thus give voice to an unlawful pur- rose, and its invocation is often the means of preventing such tragedies as that which shocked this city yesterday.

Self-reliance is 2 com- mendable quality in any man, but the mod- ‘ern conditions of soctety have provided the means of preserving the e and pre- venting personal collisions that are better and more wholesome in their general ef- fects on the public mind t to the individual means of de’ fortune of s n affair as that of y: side from its ediate is that cer ds are unduly flamed with an exaggerated sense of the right of a man to gi arm himself when no There is no such right. w forbids the carry- ing of concez and refers the threatened to the courts for protection. ‘The process of armament lgads inevitably to more znd more ia The moder of slaying are too cer- ts to be resorted to ligitly nd hence the value of such ed by the House of Rep- resentatives Monday further restricting the Access of the public to all forms of danger- ous or deadly weapons fs not to be disre- garded. 3 : ee - Senator Hanna need have no fear that any newspaper or newspapers can precipi- tate war. All that the press of the country can do is to put the people in possession of facts and arguments and leave them to exercise ‘their own cholce—just as they did in the latest presidential campaign. —_—____ + ee —____ More Dry Docks. The strain in the relations of this coun- try and Spain has thus far wrought excel- lent results in directing congressionat at- tention to the imperative need of the coun- try for an adequate naval and «military equipment as a guarantee of peace. The passage of the artillery bill and the appro- priation of $50,000,000 for. the national de- fense are the first substantial evidences of the long-delayed awakening of the legis- laters to the grim fact that this country has outgrown its means of self-protection. Other propositions are pending that tend in the same direction. The three-battalton it is thought, be passed in this and will accomplish the most desirable results for the army, placing it on a more effective footing and enabling it to cope with modern conditions. The House naval committee took action ig the same direction yesterday when it voted, seven to three, to incorporate in the Raval appropriation bill a provision for the construction of five large dry docks, to cost in the aggregate about $5,000,000. This action practically follows the recommend- ations of the naval board that inquired the subject last summer and submitted @ careful report. Much trouble has been experienced by the navy in late years by reason cf the fact that the ship list has been increased out of proportion to the equipment for caring for the vessels and keeping them at the top notch of efficiency. ‘The modern man-of-war is susceptible to so many disarranging influences that a dry deck is a virtual necessity. Any prolonged stay in the water of the southern seas will encrust the bottom of the ship with barna- cles that not only add to the weight: but present such a rough surface to the water that the speed capacity is materially re- duced. To remove these the ship must be docked, and this process forms, indeed, one of the most necessary features of modern naval administration. ‘The naval officers and officials have ap- preciated the gravity of this requirement, but as is the case at times with much need- ed public buildings serious delay has been caused by unreconcilable differences of cpinion among the legislators with regard to the sites for the docks. The naval board recommended certain sites that were, with one exception, favored by the majority of the committee yesterday, Philadelphia be- ing substituted for Brooklyn as the place for one of the docks. The docks, accord- ing-to this action, will be located at Ports- mouth, N. H.,Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco. This distribu- ticn of the ary facilities for caring for modern vessels will, It is thought, ac- commodate the needs of the navy for some years and will grant a maximum of benefit by reason of the convenlence of the docks to the ordinary cruising grounds of the home fleets. Thus it is to be seen that the “war scare,” as the existing sentiment along the lines of a hea!thy patriotism is unthinking- ly called by some, is producing excellent results, that will endure long after the present difficulties have been settled by di- plomacy, arbitration or war. The nation has realized its duty and is responding Jo the call. oe The President and Congress. Reports representing the President as anxious that Congress shall hurry through with the remainder of its work and ad- Journ, leaving to him the whole matter of dealing with Spain about Cuba, are to be received, if at all, with a large grain of al- lowance. They do not agree with known facts, nor show the proper apprecfation of the situztion. The President is not among those who regard Congress as a nuisance and a menace, but, on the contrary, he has faith in Congress, and works harmoniously and successfully in connection with it. The faith that Congress has in’ him has just been exhibited in the most signal and com- plete manner. The real strength of the American case lies in the fact that the Ex- ecutive and Congress are in thorough ac- cord and that the people of the country, without distinction of party, are behind both. It would be impossible for the United States to present a more united front to the world than it does today. Equally unworthy of credit, too, are the ories which represent the President as using the present war scare, with no thought that war is at all likely, to hasten the coast defenses, the importance of which Congress has up to this time been some- what slow to appreciate. It is true that what is-now being done to strengthen the sea coast in case of war will be of very great importance even if the differences with Spain are settled by other means. But this is not to say that war with Spain is not imminent, for it is. It is imminent for the reason that the duty of the United States calls for intervention in behalf of peace for Cuba, and Spain, angered by fall- ure in Cuba and unrest at home, is full of threats and proclamations. She is just about mad enough to invite destruction, and if she does invite it, by an attack on this country, she is certain to be speedily accommodated. The country is ready and waiting—not boastfully nor defiantly so, but waiting for developments with an as- sured ability to meet the emergency, what- ever it may be and whenever it may arise. The country’s faith in the President, there is every reason to believe, is abso- lutely well deserved. He is too true a man to trifle with the great trust Imposed in him, and too wise to undervalue or mistake what that trust means. He is neither shamming nor maneuvering through vanity to occupy the whole stage himself. +o —___ Annexation by Legislation. The Hawaiian annexation proposition takes the form of a joint resolution through today's action of the Senate committee on foreign relatio ‘The treaty is not aban- doned, but immediate action is sought upon the legislative proposition. There should and probably will be no delay in pressing the joint resolution to a vote in the upper :. That body has heard the Hawalian fon argued in every possible bearing during the past five years and it fs pre- sumed that the speeches are practically ex- hausted. There is no need for time-con- suming deliverances, and unless the opposi- tion should resort to filibustering tactics there will in all likelihood be no loss of op- portunity in sending the resolution to the House. That there is a clear majortty for annexation in each house is not to be ques- tioned. In the Senate the treaty has thus ar barely failed to secure the support of the votes necessary under the Constitution for its ratification. Yet with this smail deficit there still remains a reliable majori- ty of nearly two to one that will presuma- bly make itself felt in expressing a demand for prompt consideration. This matter ought to be settled beyond question before final adjournment this session. ———__+ > —____ ‘The Prince of Wales can look at the embarrassments which loom up before Lttle Alphonso and congratulate himself on the fact that he can never Ly any pos- sibility be a boy-king. —_++e____ Gcvernor Pingree of Michigan has the same idea that laws were made to be en- forced which surrounded Mr. Roosevelt with so much disturbance in New York city. ——>+2—____ The base ball magnates have temporarily dropped the question of belligerent rights among players in order to Icok after in- demnity from the telegraph companies. 2. Ciba is unquestionably very dear to Sp-.n. But the latter country ought to re- member that this is the Lenten season, which requires self-denial. Mr. Quay has made it clear that .even should he be defeated it will not be in any three-round contest. —__60s—___ Imported Humor. That amusing journal, the Imparcial of Madrid, is at it again, this time to such a hilarity-producing extent that the joke is to be appreciated even in the shadow ef the war cloud now hanging over the two countries. » Note the following: “Yesterday we received two telegrams from New York, which have not been pub- Mshed. They deal with war preparations and concern not only street jingoism, but high officials of the American government, who, in view of the position, ought to ob- serve a more discreet attitude.” This spectacle of news suppression Is extremely edifying. Later in the same is- sue the Imparcial remarks with charac- teristic confidence: “The United States is a country of belll- cose seif-advertisement. mor ves- sels’ to aiat far she ip tryna 40. en be- Neve that her forces are resentations. from a_ practically official source that Spain feels aggrieved that the United States should maintain such a strong fleet in the vicinity of Key West, shows that the Spanish news agencies are not wholly in touch with the points of sreatest interest. The plaint from the ministry about our ships would hardly have been uttered if it were officially felt that the fleet was being moved about sole~ ly for magnifying purposes. But the choicest bit in the whole edition is a news dispatch to the Imparcial from Lisbon saying that a score of sailors de- serted from the American men-of-war while they were there, and that “they were nearly all Spaniards.” This country is more fortunate than it suspected. —_+ e+ —_.

Hix Interest. “Are you taking much interest In the Spanish-Cuban war?” inquired the Eu- ropean statesman, shoulé say I am!” replied the cap- italist; “compound interest.” “Sometimes,” said Uncle Eben, “a man is like de bottom number ob a fraction. De bigger he tries ter be, de smaller what he stands foh really is.” Assertions, ’Tis hard to decide if the promises great Spain offers with little abatement Are sent by that country’s department of state Or by its department of statement. Appreciative. “What a beautiful specimen of inlaying!” exclaimed the guest. “Yes,” replied Mr. Cumrox, as he put his hands behind and tiptoed complacently: “but that isn’t anything. You ought to have seen the outlay it represents.”” A Sense of Superiority. “You ought ‘to be ashamed of yourself to use poisoned arrows,” exclaimed the phil- hropist. ‘White men never do such things?” quer- fed the Indian. “Never!” was the prowd response. “We white men lay traps for our enemies and kill them by the hundred with dynamite.” Blissful Confidence. We don’t hear much of Uncle Jim Up there in Washington. But jes’ the same we're proud of him An’ all the things he’s done. An’ when true statesmanship is shown The neighbors all allow That, while his name may not be known, ’Twas him as showed 'em how, He ain’t the kind as brags about His greatness. No, sirree! But none as hears ‘im talk kin doubt He knows what orter be. An’ every time this gover’ment Puts laurels on its brow, Us voters know with calm content ’"Twas him as showed it how. —_—__++2—_—__ A Careful View. From the London Spectator. It is nearly impossible to form a definite opinion to the probability of a wr be tween America and Spain. Jingoes, silv meh, peace men, Spaniards and native Cu- bans are all making statements which have no relation te facts, while the chiefs of the two goveraments, with very anxious faces, are trying to.keep smilingly silent. We can therefore onjy stale an Impre: sion, which, though bas ton a careful study of the fe facis obtainable, may prove ultimately er- roncous. We believe, then, as at present advised, that Both Washington and Madrid expect war without desiring it; that both are arming as rapidly as they can, and that both are thinking over possible al- liances, Spain with France and Russia, and Ameri with Japan, which wants the Philippines, and could double the American fleet at an hour's notice—if Russia would permit. side: Great efforts are made on both to gain time—by Mr. McKinley be- arsenals ate not yet full, by agasta because he must elect a edient parliament. The causa cau- sans of war will not be the accident to the occurred from the out- but some much broader cama Washington will base upon some vfliclal ports” upon the condition . which, when pudlished, will stir n feeling to its depths.

Se Spain’s Alternatives, From the San Francisco Chronicle. Every Spaniard who thinks or who bears high responsibility knows that a nation like the United States could crush Spain ut- terly in a few months of warfare—capture her colonies, sweep her fieets and com- merce from the sea, bombard her coasts, bleckade her ports and visit her with the awful burden of an indemnity afterward. As between that cataclysm and the mob, a statesman as wise as Sagasta would prefer the mob. Better turmoil at home, even if it should bring in the soldierly Don Carlos, who might, in the end, regenerate Spain, than the national suicide of entering a con- test in which defeat and ruin are fore- doomed. ——_+ +o. The Wonderful South. From the Springfield Republican. The south is receiving high praise from the northern press for the unanimity with which its senators and representatives voted for the $50,000,000 appropriation for national defense. The south is the most interesting part of this country. It has more inherent poetry and romance than all the rest of the land put together; its his- tory contains the most impressive drama of modern times, and it has produced states- men and soldiers as great as any in the English-speaking world since William the Conqueror —___--«—_____ Pence in Commerce. From the New York Times. A people capable of such fighting and such heroic endurance as the Cubans are worthy of their independence and of our sympathy. We have not much fear for the future of Cuba as an independent state. It is extremely probable that large invest- ments of American capital would be made in the island and that would be the most tranquilizing influence imaginable, and the greatest help to the organization of a sta- ble government. 8 A Good Roads Court. From the Providence Journal. A Maryland judge has decided that a town ordinance prohibiting the riding of wheels on sidewalks when the streets are impassable is not effective. The rider who was arrested turned on the sidewalk to avoid an exceptionally bad place in the roadway, and, although he rode a distance of only 25 feet on forbidden ground, a war- rant was issued. The evidence showed that a wheel could not be pushed through the mud hole, and the court, in dismissing the case, ruled that under such conditions rid- ers and drivers were justified in trespass- ing on private property. It is possible that the aie courts may not sustain so lib- a ruling, but fts reversal will not de- orve the judge of the lower court of his reputation for common sense. poles fo.
