An Admirable Finding. ‘The report of the Maine court of inquiry is of a character that refiects credit upon the officers forming that tribunal. Without in the slightest degree suggesting a sus- means of a combination method, first elimi- nating every possible item that might have contributed to the destruction of the ship from within, and then adducing clear proof ef the fact that the Initial blow, which bert the plates upward and left unmis- takable signs, came from without. The process of elimination is clear and convine- ing. One by one the available elements of interior explosion are examined and dis- posed of. The discipline was excellent. The ammunition was stored properly. There was nothing in the magazines of an im- Preper nature. The magazines and shell rooms were locked on the night of the ex- plosion. The temperatures in these rooms were safely low, save in the case of one of the after magazines, which has been found intact. The war-heads of tne torpedoes were stored aft and were not involved in the explosion. The primers and detonators Were remote from the scene of the explo- sion. AN waste was carefully handled. All varnishes and other possibly dangerous or volat.le or explosive stores were at a di nce from the scene of the explosion. The coal bunkers were either empty or in 00d condition. Daily inspection had shown no sizn of a dangerous condition in them. ‘The fire alarms were in good condition. The two after boilers in use at the time were under guard, with low pressures. The forward boilers were found in good condition after the exploston. In the face of this array of proof it is incredible that Spain will undertake to maintain that the explosion was due to an internal cause. But, in addition to the negative evidence that removes every ves- tige of suggestion that the ship was de- stroyed by her own agencies, the court finds the plainest tokens that the vessel Wes sent to the bottom by the explosion ef a sub-marine mine. On one other point the report contains a suggestive possibility of further dis- closures. It appears that the ship had not been moved from the anchorage to which she was first sent. It remains now to be seen whether or not her commander had requested another anchorage. The significant portion of the message from the President accompanying the re- port is that phrase in which he indicates that he has directed that the “views of this government” as to the destruction of the Maine be laid before the government at Madrid. Thus it appears that represen- tations have beer made to Spain, upon which si te action, suggested by honor, is speedily expected. —____+ ¢——__—_ The Spanish Electio: ‘The large majority which Senor Sagasta has secured in the Spanish elections ought to be as welcome in this country as doubtless it is in Spain. It does not matter to us how it may have been secured. The main point is that now that the crisis is at hend Spain at the polls indorses those in office who have made up her case, and we shall continue to deal with them. We and understand their methods, what they stand for. This result is not only to be welcomed, but comes in the nature of things. It was to be expected. Sentiment in Spain on the subject of Cuba and the relations of the Tnited States to the controversy has been prepared and fostered by what we know te be a gross and systematic perversion of ail the facts. The news has been doctored or suppressed with the one object In view of playing upon what is called Spanish pride, and what easily manifests itself as Spanish prejudice. A press censorship, un- exampled in severity, has been applied so as to shut out everything but what con- tributed to the end sought to be attained. What Spain has indorsed at the polls therefore is: (1) The United States is largely responsible for the war in Cuba, by first inciting the revolt through secret agents, and then succoring it through the means of filibustering expeditions. These are the allegations of General Weyler. (2) A humbug autonomy for Cuba, sug- gested, there is strong reason to believe, by Senor de Lome, and afterward ex- Piained by him in a letter to a personal friend. The scheme never had any prac- tical value, and is completely discredited teday. «2 Intervention by the United States to the extent of feeding the starving people of Cuba, but no act calculated to put a stop to the policy of starvation. If the United States desires to become Spain's ccmmissary in the further prosecution of the war, well and good. But the war must go on if the whole population of the island ccmes to feed at the American table. In substance, this is the policy Senor Sa- gasta has now received instructions to ad- here to. Will he do it? And if he does, will the United States parley further on such a line? precisely ——__++ + Consul General Lee’s position in the pres- ent state of emotional unrest at Havana is conceded to be one of physical peril as well as diplomatic responsibility. He is no Jess a hero than if he were distinguishing himself in actual battle. —__- + e+ -__ The B. and 0. Viaduct Pians. The large transfer of Eckington property, moted in today’s news columns, seems to foreshadow active preparations in the near future by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for the removal cf its tracks from grade and the construction of the viaducts that are to form the essential features of the new terminal plans of that road. It is sincerely to be hoped that this ig the case, for the citizens of Washington have been ooking forward anxfously for many years to the day when they might traverse the northeastern section of the city without grave danger to life and limb. The present financial condition of the corporation does mot warrant any vigorous hope, to be sure, but it is promised that before the time comes for active operations the road will have been reorganized and the means for the expensive terminal improvements will be forthcoming. Tha plans as at present agreed upon by the railroad officials and the Dis- trict Commissioners are entirely satisfac- tory to the citizens, in general, for the project conforms to the most accepted ideas as to the best method of bringing trains into the city. The elevated system trackage is far superior for urban terminal Purpoces to any other. The viaduct idea ie immeasureably superior to the device of eemi-depreased tracks, which necessitates picion concerning any official or concerning the government of Spain. the report pro- ceeds to analyze every possibility bearing | business is the great patience that has upon the disaster.

The Berlin pian, for in- stance, affords many opportunities for architectural and commercial advantages The viaduct, instead of injuring the streetz. adds to their value. The hope is that the Jocal viaducts, when completed, will prove as acceptable to all interests as those in the German capital which have beer described at length in The Star-in the past. Though the real purpose of the transfer of property in line with the route of the proposed bet- terments is thus far not fully disclosed it seems likely that the corporation is pre- paring for an active attack upon the grade crossing problem at no distunt date. This is, indeed, the first visible sign of a sub- stantial purpose for several years and it is therefore to be welcomed heartily. > oe Patience and Peace. One of our strongest points in this Cuban same issue all along. The Cubans appeal- ed to arms in 1868 against Spanish mis- government and oppression and fought stubbornly for ten years. Spain sent thou- sands of trocps to the island, pursued a policy of extreme cruelty and at last tri- umphed by a trick. This government was tempt-d more than once to intervene, but abstained from doing so. There was no great belief in the prom- ises of reforms that Spain made in order to bring that war to a close. Byt they were accepted by the Cubans in arms, and that left the United States with no right to object. The reforms were not inaugurated, but the same old abuses, with variations up to date, were continued, until at last the Cubans appealcd to arms again, and for three years now have been defying Spain successfully. Again, after exhausting other resources, Spain has come forward with promises of reform. But this time the in- surgents reject them and announce the pur- pose of keeping the field in their fight for independence as long as they can maintain themselves. Nothing is plainer than that this gov- ernment cannot afford to permit the pres- ent war to go on indefinitely. Spain is re- sponsible for the peace of Cuba. But is Peace possible with her flag flying over the island? Does not the record for the past thirty years show continuously that so long as Spain holds Cuba just so long will war against her authority be in ex- istence or be imminent? Implacable hat- reds have grown out of the thirteen years of the struggle of the people fighting fiercely for freedom on the one side and brutally for the mere preservation of do- minion on the other, which call for a sev- arance of all political relations between tnem. Peace for Cuba is the great end in view. Spain has made the island, with its almost matchless possibilities for happiness and prosperity, a waste and a plague spot, and pot while a vestige of her authority re- mains will peace be possible. The only proper endirg for this war is the ending of Spain's power in Cuba. ———_—_++-___ Prompt Publication. Ten minutes after the President's mes- sage and the report of the Maine court of inquiry had been laid before the two houses of Ccngress The Star appeared in extra edition, giving the complete text of both documents. The mechanical facilities for making possible such achievements, unsur- passed in the history of local journalism, are the result of thoughtful appreciation cf the needs of the reading public at the end of the century. 1n-such times as these, when the people are eager for information as to the latest phase of the every-varying international crisis, minutes are precious, and The Star is well equipped for their economy. The Star had through the special corre- spendence of Mr. Pepper given the first foreshadowing of the nature of the board’s report, upon which the people of Washing- ton could rely. It had in its extra of March 25, soon after ihe reception of the report by the President, given the first definite and positive information of what the doc- ument upor essential points actually con- tained. It was therefore fitting that the full report, with the President's message, should be furnished today by The Star to thousands of interested readers an hour before its loca! publication by any other newspaper. Through its special correspondents, its connection with the Associated Press and its large and capable local force, The Star is enabled to distance local afternoon com- petition, which, lacking these resources, must be content with the begged or stolen crumbs that fall from the N:w York jour- nalistic table. —____ ee —___ ‘The Spanish determination to submit a report of its own on the Maine disaster shows an inclination to imitate this country which might have been developed years ago to some advantage. ¢ ———__ + «= —___ General Gomez has given abundant warn- ing that the insurgents will be hard to please in connection with any proposais for their laying down their arms. ———_ore—___ General Coxey has not said a word about lining up the procession of men who once graced Pennsylvania avenue at some re- cruiting office Mm case of war. 2 It is a hopeful sign for the American stage that actors are endeavoring to arouse as much interest in their plays as in their personal eccentricities. ———o +e —______ Boston may as well be warned to take as much enjoyment as it can out of the possession of the base ball pennant. —_~++__—_.

The events in the far east tending toward the partition of Chine have been quietly ceming to a climax during the past few weeks while this country has been busily ergagei in its own international affairs and today comes the news, somewhat to the surprise of the peopi2 of America, that Great Britain has acquiesced in the Rus- sian program and will henceforth seek ovly a participation in the process of slicing the celestial empire. This turn in the affair leaves Japan more or less isolated. Up to the latest development the Japanese were fairly certain of the support or at least the mcral encouragement of England. But now even England has taken a position frcm which she can not logically lend ac- “tive assistance to Japan. Her present anx- ety is to secure a valuable concession. The question now agitating the various nations that are putting an end to China's indepen- dent existerce as a great power Is whether or not Japan will resent this procedure to the point of active interference with the program. Her military end naval power on the ground and immediately available is for the relations of parts of the civilized ‘workl to each other. The events in the far east, coupled with those in this capital, go to make March 28th one of the histor- ical days of the century. —_—__+2e___- President McKinley will not lessen his Personal fame by sharing the responsibili- ties with Congress when the spirit of American institutions demands it.

Weary. “How is it,” said the official severely, “that we haven't had any victories re- cently?” “Well,” replied the general, “if you want any more than you have been getting you'll have to secure another man.

In the discussion of the naval situation, there is one fact always to be kept stead- ily in view, and it is a fatal one for Spain. That country has no coal of its own and it has no coaling station nearer our shores than the Canary Islands, 1,000 miles away. It cannot keep its war craft afloat except with our consent, and this is especially true of torpedo boats. They are practically use- less any great distance from their base of supplies, as they have no cruising capacity in their coal bunkers. with ——_-+e—_____ No Present Prospects of Panic. From the New York Tribune. Of alarm in commercial or industrial quarters there is so little as to cause gen- eral surprise, in view of the excitement prolonged for weeks and the depression in speculative markets. These, it must be admitted, are strong indications that those who heve kept cool and have shown un- shaken faith in their country and its gov- ernment thus far ure not likely to lose their heads in panic if the event they have for more than a month considered possible should occur. —_~-+2__ Food for Cubans. From the Chicago Post. However men may differ as to the justifi- cation for any act on the part of our gov- ernment that will provoke war over Cuba few will be found to raise ovjection to an appropriation of $300,000 by Congress to feed the starving Cubans. This, it is definitely announced, will precede the ac- tion of the government in regard to the Maine and Cuban independence. America will first give heed to the New Testament injunction “feed my sheep” befure answer- ing the Old Testament question: “Am I my brother's keeper?’ —+ e»—____ Kipling on Coast Defenses, From the Boston Transcript. This is the way Rudyard Kipling regard- ed ovr coast defenses a few years ago: “The big fat republic 1s afraid of nothing because nothing up to the present time has happened to make her afraid. She is as un- protected as a jelly fish—not internally, of course. It would be madness for any power to throw men into America; they wouid simply die; but so far as regards coast de- fense, from five miles out at sea a ship of the power of the British ship Collingwood could wipe out every town from San Fran- cisco to Long Branch, and three first-class ironclads would account for New York, Bartholdi statue and all. Reflect on this; it would be pay up or go up, around the entire coast of the United States.” It Wouldn’t Work, From the San Francisco Chronicle. It is . sien of the Someiste failure of the sugar trust campaign among the le that President Oxnard of the beet Tyugar company of New York has withdrawn the anti-annexation clause from contracts with beet growers. The growers simply’ would not have it. Intelligent enough to know that island sugar which comes into the United States free under reciprocity could not compete with them under annexation any more than now, they refused to accept Oxnard’s proposed cut in the tonnage rates of their crop contingent upon the entrance of Hawaii into the Union. This forced the sugar magnate aside and compelled him drop as an issue.
