Congress and the Emergency. Congress, as was to be expected, has taken up the Cuban case in the spirit of all the requirements. Action is the word, and speedy action is to be taken. is not only what was to be expected, but it is also uplifting. It gives us our proper status before th> world. It makes good the things that have been promised and vowed In the American name. It is a final warning to Spain. No appeal will lie from the decision. Congress in such mat- ters is the American court of last resort. The decision will be executed. The Ameri- can people. with all their credit and pos- sessions; with the most eatnest enthusi- asm; with a firm and sober belief that they are right, and are acting in the interests of justice and humanity, will be behind it. They have been accustomed to win. ..ey will win this time. But. win or lose, the proposition is that Spain shall leave Cuba, and upon that the call to action is sounded. The befuddlement in some of the Euro- pean capitals over the situation. need not vex or concern us here. The people of the United States know themselves and their government. They know how to proceed to execute their own purposes. The sneering references to our “shirt-sleeve diplomacy” unintentionally contain, and should convey to us, only compliment and encouragement. In comparison with the shuffling and trick- ery of Spain: with her garbling of papers and falsification of news; with her twist- 18 and turnings, and using of even the most sacred of Christian holidays for the perpetration of a fresh fraud—that humbug “cessation of hostilities’ held back in or- der to bear the date of Easter Sunday in comparison with that, let us take com- fort from our appearance of being a little “rough and ready” and plain-spoken. Let us rejoice all the more in that part of the President's message which describes and denounces Spanish rule in Cuba in words which carry the strongest meaning of the English speech. There can be no question about the re- sult. The President awaits the decree of Congress; and with that in hand he will Invoke all the agencies of the government toward accomplishing the one end in view— peace for Cuba based upon absofute trec- dom from Spanish rule. ——_ +2 —_____ No Reason for Disngreement Now. The main difference between the two fac- tions in the committees on foreign affairs of Congress appears to be a quibble over the 2xtent to which the independence of Cuba should be recognized. The majority prefer to acknowledge the independence of the people of Cuba without specific ref2r- governmental organization. and that the “Republic of to any Cuba” be recognized as a free and inde- pndent government. Between these two Positions there is no very great chasm. There should be no material difficulty in the two sides agrezing if there is an earnest determination to put an end to th: Cuban horrors by freeing that country from the clutches of S The Senate resolutions contain a claus» that tends inevitably toward war, if enacted. The demand upon Spain for the relinquishment of all her rights in Cuba aud her occupation of the island can lead to but one result, unless the government at Madrid surrenders to this . demand. If war should resutt from this proposal it will be a matter of small mo- ment whether th> United States has mean- while officially and legislatively acknowl- edged any particular form of government in Cuba or has merely d2clared Cuba to be independent of the Spanish rule. In any event, later adjustments must follow, and in this procedure the United States must play an important part. There can be no ques- tion of the result. The present Cuban or- ganization se-ms certain to dev2lop into the “stable government” so greatly desired by this country. The preliminaries being based upon the determination of this nation that Cuba has earn-d her freedom, that end will follow as a logical result. The case of th United States will be much stronger if it is based upon united action in the Congre: There is reason for prompt action. Th is equal reason for united aetion. The case demands a display of the get-together spirit that animated the houses when they re- sponded so admirably to the President's suggestion that a war fund was need2d. —-—__ see An Irrelevant Armistice. The armistice “for the negotiation of Feace with the good offices of the Presi- den suggested Ly this government, was clined ¢by Spain. Subsequently, in re- sponse to representations by the pope and the powers of Europe Spain declared a cessation of hostilities in Cuba, in order that General Blanco might prepare and facilitate peace. The good offices of the President were thus slightingly eliminated from the negotiaticn and, happily for us, we have no responsibility or concern wha‘- scever in the whole transaction. We should be interested if there was the very smallest possibility of peace resulting from the Preparations and facilities to that des:rable end to be supplied by General Blanco. It is to be remembered, however, that the in- surgents are compelled by their laws and military orders to put to death any one coming from General Blanco with proposals not based upon the independence of Cuba. 3 mn. Lee declares that he has ‘hot done much to deserve such an ovation. But the temptations to do things which he has re- sisted are alone sufficient to stamp him the hero of the hour. ————_+ ee ___ Perhaps Senor Sagasta should have ¥aited until the congressional Interpreters got through with their work before de ing that the President's message was not hostile to Spain. ————_ses—_____— Hawaii will have to yield its turn for ecnsideration to an island whose emer- kencies are more pressing. ——>+s___ Spanish News From Havana. Speaking after the fashion of the weather bureau, “About these times look out for a revival of Falstaffan stories from Havana.” We ars absolutely at the mercy of the Spanish fakirs now. The censor is on deck, more watchfwf than ever, and not only will nothing get through in the slightest degree calculated to prejudice the Spanish ‘case, bet yarns are 'ik=ly to be pushed along for the express purpose of misleading Ameri- can sentiment. The American’ correspond- ents have all returned hqme, and the news service in the island is under the control of the Spanish authorities. That they will work it for al] that it may be worth, or sup- Press it if it so serves their purposes, no ore need doubt for a moment. What a revel of Spanish lying was in- dulged in under the Weylor regime before the “American correspondents succeeded in eluding its vigilance! How industriousiy | the Spanish censor chopped copy so as to April 13, 1895. ' rob it of its pith and point! How bravely General “Wyler “had dispatches prepared and sent abroad testifying to phenomenal successes by the Spanish arms! How he pacified provinces with eas?! How he reuted the insurgtnts at every encounter, killing them by the hundreds, but never los- ing more than a few men himself! And, for that matfer, this sort of thing was kept up for awhile under General Blanco. As late as January last some pretty tall tales came by wire from Havana, inspired by Spanish influentes and intended to serve Spanish purposes. If Spain may hope to gain anything by it, may we not expect to hear now of some beautiful effects of the “cessation of hos- tilities” on the insurgent forces and their sympathizers? May not the pr2sentations under the autonomistic overture be ex- pected greatly to Increase in number? Is, indeed, a proclamation from General Gomez hims2If accepting the truce too much to ex- pect of the Spanish industry and invention? Havana now is a city of pure delight where fakirs immortal dwell, The country would do well to be on its guard agaipst all attempted impositions from that quarter. The biblical proposition that all men are liars may with safety be am2nded at present by the addition, “and especially Spaniards.” ——_§_<+eo___ Decide Quickly. The only further negotiation with Spain which the occasion seems to require is the direct request, which was supposed to have been made, but in fact has not yet been made, that she withdraw from Cuba, con- ceding independence to the island. Spain has peremptorily refused in advance even to consider this request, so that the nego- tiation would probably be perfunctory and futile. At the same time the opportunity to the powers and the pope to apply pressure to Spain to cause her to yield in the interest of peace should reasonably be given. The issue between Spain and the United States is clear. For reasons stated the President recommends intervention, with force, if necessary, to establish a stable government in Cuba, “capable of observing its international obligations.” He elimi- nates from consideration as the form of government proposed by him Spanish sov- ereignty and autonomy under Spain, which have failed, and forcible annexation to the United States, which “would be criminal aggression.” The independent government for Cuba, the remaining possibility among forms of rule, which alone can have inter- national obligations to observe, for which the President has thus inferentially de- clared, will of course be demanded directly and explicitly by Congress. : Whether peace or war results will depend upon the manner in which this request is met by Spain. Her answer may be a declaration of war, or a yielding to the powers and the pope of what she declares she would deny to the United States. Whether peace or war is to come, the American people wish a speedy decision, relieving the unbearable suspense which the republic has recently endured. —+2____ Municipal Economy. The English public authorities are just now seeking methods whereby they ma utilize every item of the refuse of their large centers of population and thus far they have succeeded in showing that there need be sittle or no waste in any cepari- ment of municipal existence. The products of garbage destructors and reduction plants have been used for various purposes, the garbage serving as valuable fuel in some places and as the foundation for fertilizing agencies in others. The street sweepings have been transformed into electrical power by their combustible qualities and now there is in operation a process that makes useful and profitable even the clink- ers and ashes produced at these furnaces that are lighting large sections of London by the utilization of the ordinary refuse of the streets and alleys. Thus there is in operation a double system of saving, and the wasie is reduced to a minimum. The clinkers and ashes are being transformed into paving material of excellent quaiiiy. The clinkers are broken into bits. Two parts of this stuff are mixed with one part of the ashes and one part of Port:and cement and then subjected to heavy pres- sure for one minute in a mold. When the compressed substance is allowed to set for two days it is ready for use. The process, it is found, will produce durable artificial sicne slabs at the rate of less than 42 cenis a square yard, inclusive of all charges for labor, material, interest and depreciation. This rate is very low and if the produc: {should turn out to be as indestructi>!c a | the average imitation of stone it is cleaz | that a new industry will soon be in flou-- ishing condition. The District governmen: | pays 91.25 a square yard for granolithic pavement, or nearly three times as much as this new English material costs. Of course the cost of laying f% to be added to the 42 cents and the actual discrepancy may, in the end, be less than that natate but it is evident that a great saving may b> made by this use of the commonest of materials. The French are said to be the mest saving of all people in culinary mat- ters, while their cousins across the channel are achieving a reputation for a similar t in their municipal housekeening that should be emulated by other natioas. ——_~eo—__ National Insa: ye The letter that £enor Polo, the Spanish minister kere, wrote to a correspondent in Middletown, Conn., in which he reviews the state of American feeling on the Cuvan question, is not couched in a happy vein. Irdeed, it +s calculated to impress the peo- ple among whom he Is staying officially that he is but a slight improvement upon de Lome. He asserts that the public sen- tment here is so rabid that it verges on insanity. There is no doubt that the Amer- ican people are mad, mad clear through. They are mad to think of their man-of-war blown to pieces in a friendly harbor, their seamen and officers slaughtered, their peace threatened, their commerce harmed, their sense of humanity and justice shocked con- tinually. If theré be insanity in this form of madness then the minister's insulting characterization is well founded. History has recorded several such cases of national insanity, and they have been justified by the most pertinent facts and records. Let Spain beware the American madness! ———»ree—___ It would have been an easy matter before the message was sent in to pick out men who would refer to it as a “weak and inef- fectual paper” or “a most statesmanlike document,” according to previous affilia- tion. —_++e—____ Some of the Methodist ministers in con- ference at Baltimore appear to fear that polifieal platforms may succecd in ecrowd- ing the ten commandments and the golden rule from their proper prominence. —_—___ +e —__—_ Considering the popular feeling toward the government in Spain, it is possible that Washington is one of the safest places in the world for any of its officials to be. > to Before engaging in actual contest, Spain would like some time to inspect the racing returns to see whether this is a good year for “hundred to one” chances or not. —>+2——__——_ Congress cennot get up much of an argu- ment over the proposition that “sor must be done.” Even Spain agrees to that, —_—__+-0.—__ Senagor Foraker is baie igs nat enter- taining any propositions for in Ohio affairs. SHOOTING STARS. Force of Habit. “How did that matador happen to fare so badly?” inquired one Madrid citizen. “Why,” replied the other, “he used to be connected with the diplomatic service. He forgot himself the other day and stopped to ask the bull whether there was not some means of putting decisive action off for a week or so.” Spring Stylés. By ficral lavishness perplexed He murmured as in gloom he sat, “Twill take a landscape gardener next To trim my daughter's Easter hat.” His Fear. “The present question,” said the member of Congress who likes to talk things over a great deal, “is ‘what measures shall we adopt in the Cuban situation?’ ” And his energetic colleague answered: “Yes; and the thing for us to’do is to see to it that they are not red-tape measures.” A Sure Tent. “It's all right,” said Senator Sorghum, Bieefully; “I'm getting on.” “What do you mean?” inquired his wife. “I am being formally recognized as one of the great men of the era. They are be- ginning to circulate last century’s fmnec- dotes with my name attached to ‘em.” An Erratic Canine. I never saw a “dog of war,” But, from the way they speak Abeut the creature, I should say He's an uncertain freak. You can't predict what he will do. You'll think he’s struck a trail— He'll growl and frown—and then sit down And gently wag his tai Perhaps it is because he’s old And waking up to find ‘The duliness of his teeth don’t fit An ardent state of mind, He takes a start as if he meant To make the nations wail— He'll growl and frown—and then sit gown And gently wag his tail. —_+ +e—___ A Question of Procedure. From the Springfield Republican. Mr. Pepper, the Cuban correspondent of The Washington Star, telegraphs an ex- planation of the preference of Gen. Gomez and the insurgents that the United States recognize their independence, even without armed intervention. “They fear,” says he, “that if armed intervention comes the United States would seize the island, and when Spain lets go annexation would fol- low.” The insurgent standpoint is easily comprehended, yet Gen. Gomez and his fol- lowers from the beginning have reckoned on an ultimate American intervention, and they must allow our government to choose its own way of intervening. If they can- rot trust the United States now they can- not trust it later on, whether or not an in- dependent government be recognized; and if they cannot trust !t now they had better not seek American aid. If Spain is to be “fired out’ we are the predominant part- ner in the business, and, therefore, must be permitted to say how it shall be done. And when we act it will be with a solemn declaration by the President that we do not propose to annex Cuba. ~~» 6 ______ Inferentially for Independence. From the New York Times. The President speaks of the “establish- ment,” not the re-establishment of a stable government in Cuba. He makes the condi- tion that the new government shall be Pable of “observing its international obti. gations.” That is extremely significant. Only a free and independent government in Cuba could have international obligations. Under a plan of autonomy or suzerainty Spain would have exclusive charge of tho relations of the colony to other nations. We hope this plain revelation of the execu- five intention to look upon no Cuban gov- ernment as established that is not inde- pendent will satisfy those members and senators who are inclined to insist on rec- ognition of soverzignty as @ condition pre- cedent to intervention. —_+ +2—___ What War Means “for Spain. From the Hartford Leader. Probably few Americans are able to re- alize what a war with America will doubi- less mean to Spain. It means not simply the loss of Cuba and perhaps Porto Rico also, It means not alone overwhelming na- val defeat and bankruptcy of the national treasury. It probably means the downfail of the Bank of Spain, the one great finan- cial institution of the country, and with its fall the collapse of other banks and scores of corporations—a general panic, stoppage of industries, ruin for many thousands o? well-to-do citizens, and following in the wake of all this an’ uprising of popular pas- sion and disorder, perhaps revolution it- self, and a sweeping away of the dynasty, as Napoleon ITT lost his throne after Sedan. ———_~+.— A Characteristic Dite: rom the Cleveland Plain D_aler. An American in Cuba or Spain, in case war should break out, would be wise to get o1t of the country at the earliest pos- sible moment and not wait to settle up hi: airs, and the lighter his baggage the better chance of getting away in safety. A Spaniard in the United States would prob- ably be left unmolested if he behaved himself, kept his mouth shut and attended strictly to his personal affairs. ——__+- = One Kind of “Armistice.” From the Buffalo New: The arraistice will, in the first place, the Spaniards say, bring a cessation ‘of hostil- ities on the part of the Spanish military authorities in Cuba. The fact is, Gen. Go- mez, the leader of the insurgents in the field, kus forced, for some time past, a ces- sation of hostilities on the part ‘of the Spanish forces in the various provinces, and two of those provinces he holds with: out dispute. —<--+_____ Hang Out the Flings. From the New York Mall and Express, Bring out ycur flags and give them an airing in the bracing sunshine of peace and liberty! Let the American metropolis show its colors and proclaim to the world that its people are ready for business, no mat- ter whether the basis be peace or war. Hang out the stars and stripes, every- body! nee. —_ +++ ____ Little Rhody. From the Syracuse Post. Little Rhode Island came near being overs looked in the excitement over Cuba. But it had its election the other day and gave a strong indorsement of the National Ad- -ministration. A A Sure Sign. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. When we observe that the peach crop of Delaware has been ‘ruined by the frost” in the headlines of esteemed eastern con- temporaries we are confirmed in our faith that spring is arriving. ili LE: Conppiracy. From the St. Louis Star. ‘There seems to be collusion between the Weather clerks and the people who desire to have a change in the date of the inau- guration, otherwise we might, before this time, have had something approximating spring weather. 4 Distrast. From the Providence Journal. “ “China,” we are told in a dispatch from Pekin, “‘distrusts Russia.” It would be } strange if she did not. The man who is held up by a highwdyman and “relieved” of his most valuable belongings is pretty sure to have a distrust of his unceremoni- ous acquaintance. Hypnotising Himbert.
