We have been neither domineering nor hasty with Spain. We have given her the fullest time in which to restere erder in Cuba. We have informed her more than ence, and through her ail the powers, that if her fail- ure became clear we wou!d intervene and stop the war ourselves. That time has come. Spain is pcwerless to give peace to Cuba. If the powers do not know this we do, and the cbligation imposed upon the United States must be redeemed. We need not very much consider, nor at any length rep‘y to, the gabble which pro- ds from Spain, about ulterior purpceses. We have nene. The annexation of Cuba is uot om the cards and has never been. We have not armed ourselves for any piratical enterp We have but the one purpese in view..and that stands out as plainly as the English language can reveal it. Spain Sse. | the war cannot he attained.” | course, their lack of armor would place them ct a disadvantage in collision with | armored ships. These “greyhounds,” how- je are considered as more probably serviceable in scouring the seas—after they have served their initial purpose of trans- porting troops and supplics—in search of merchantmen belonging to tha enemy, and of privateering ves:els preying on American commercial craft. Thus in many ways they cculd render great service, particularly in Wew of their great pow2r and specd. The negotiations for the purchase of the New | York and Paris, it seems, are not entirely cluded in ample season for whatever active may be required of this fine fleet of avxiliaries. The United States has se- cured some excellent adjuncts to the ai- ready organized navy by meons cf a wise j expenditure of the emergency defense fund voted by Congress. The two cruisi | bought in Englard from Buazil are the | best bargains either Spain or this country j has found. Unfortunately the Albany will not be ready for active service for so long that the routra laws may prevent her from participating if hostilities occur soon. The Nictheroy, just bought from Brazil, will be delivered in good season. She is “a transformed merchantman, capa- ble of doing exce-lent work as an auxil- ry. The torpedo boats bought abroad have added somewhat to the naval strength, but the greatest benefit from the foreign marke:s has been derived in the 1 purctase of guns and ammunition, supple- menting in a most serviceable manner the stcek already on hand here. ‘The Arm- strong rapid fire guns landed a few days ago are formidable weapons and should prove themselves capable of accurate and reliable work when mounted on the land defenses at the important harbors of the Atlantic coast. But even with all this energy and success there is no question that better ard more reliable resuits would have been secured if the sum expended in emergency purchases had been put into the form of deliberately planned works on a broad and generous scale of naval con- struction and coast defense armament. 20 Peace and War. Senator Hoxr’s opening remarks in yes- terday’s speech were construed as proving him an advocate of peace with Spain. But this impression is inaccurate. He culogizes peace in general, but in this instance in effect advecctes war. This is the Ameri- can position—peuce-loving, but firm to the point of war in maintenance of principle. After an exceedingly able and convincing » of the President's Cuban policy Senator Hoar quotes from the message these words: “This long trial has proved that the eject for which Spain has waged He adds: | “That means, as I understand it, that in order to restore peace in that island, the tinuance of the tleg of Spain over the Istand of Cuba is an object impossible of attainment. If that be true, then any in- tervention on our part, conducted by the Presidett, if it is te accomplish the object at which we aim, must directly, and as soon as may be expel the authority of Spain from that island, and in that belief £ have no doubt are all agreed. Jt is in view of thet fact that the President goes on to ask leave to use the forces of the army and navy to restore peace. It is a Peace in other words which can only exist having become an enemy of civilization in Cuba, must leavg the island. Upon that pro has ition the United States pledged itself. It is and absolutely to that It cannot be halted. The American man who would advocate anything abling a backdewn now would invite and deserve and receive the contempt of the country. But no such policy is being advocated. All are agreed on the main proposition, and it will be carried out in face of whatever foreign protests may be formulated and filed against it. ‘This is our business, and we shall attend to it. —__ + += —__ The So-Called Armintice. The Star on Monday pointed out that the so-called armistice granted by Spain in aCuba was but a sham; that, as a matter of fact. there have been no operations of any consequence against the insurgents since General B’anco assumed command in the deliberately island. On Tuesday General Lee, in his | testimony before the Senate committee on foreign relations, confirmed the statement. in reply to a question on the subject, he said: “They"—the insurgepts—‘have not been interfered with much Since General Blanco came there. With the exception of the campaign of General Pando in the eastern part of the island, there have been very few military eperations inaugurated by the Spantsh. So it has been practically a sort of truce for some time—the insurgents be- cause they did rot want to fight and be- cause it was against orders to tight.” ~And yet Spain is asking the powers of Europe and the pope, to whose influence she ostentatious'y ascribes her action, to believe that she has yielded a point of ex- traordinary importance in the The powers and the pope have but to study Spain a little to find her, as her subjects In Cuba and the people of the United States have found her, to be tricky and wholly unreliable. If she had manifested either good faith or good sense in dealing with her coleny she would not be in her present des- erate straits with regard to it. But if the armistice were ail that Spain claims for it, it would stili not be satisfac- towy fovernment. The proposition ted States, as has so often been is that Spanish rule in Cuba to an end. As long as Spain re- turmeil will be the island's not only cannot guarantee sovernment, but she makes good gov- explained, erument i fe under her rule. The situation is not eas understood across the water. Spain essays the role of injured innocen and declares that she ‘ything but honor. The fact is tht innocence does not appear anywhere in record in Cul and that if she had @ vestige of honor the Cuban people instead ef hating her would love her and be de- sirous of remai ng under her sovereignty. If the powers and the pope are at a dis- advantage in the case by reason of their distance from the has yicided e i scene of action, the United States is not.

See The Auxiliary Fleet. ‘The purchase of the four transatlantic liners, the Pa: New York, St. Paul and St. Louls, adds materially to the naval strength of this government. When these sbips were suusiaized the purpcse was to utilize them in time of trouble with an- her power for auxiliary purposes, the destruction of commerce and the trans- portation of troops and supplies. They are among the fleetest vessels in the world, excepting only the smail craft designed for torpedo purposes. Their enormous size and great It mo some munitions of war and as supply ships they could be of invaluable service to a fleet in action, connecting them securely with the Iand base. When armed wit! be formidable when confronting ef gun boats of « naval force, though, premises. j and be consistent with the expulsion of the Spanish flag from Cuba.” In his eloquent peroration Senator Hoar indicates that he views this expulsion of Spain from Cuba as meaning war and he approves of such war if properly approach- ed. He say “I expect to vote for the House resolu- tions unless I should have an opportunity to vote for the resolution of the honorable senater from Colorado. That leads to war. There is no doubt about it. It will lead to the most honorable single war in all his- tory, unless we except wars entered upon by brave pecple in the assertion of their own liberty. . . . It is entered into for the single and sole reason that three or four hundred thousand beings, within ninety miles of our shores, have been sub- jected to the policy intended, or at any rate having the effect. deliberately to starve them to death—men, women, and children, old men, mothers and infants. “If there have been any hasty or unwise utterances of impatience in such a cause as that, and I think there have been, they have been honest, brave, humane ‘utter- ances. But when I enter upon this war, T want to enter upon it with a united Ameri- can people. President, and Senate and House. and Navy and Army, and Democrat and Republican, all joining hands and all marching one way. I confess I do not like to think of the genius of America angry, snarling, shouting, screaming, kicking. clawing with her rails. I like rather to ‘ink of her in her august und serene beau- ty, Inspired by a sentiment even toward her enemies not of hate but of love, perhaps a ttle pale in the cheek, and a dangercus light in her eye. but with a smile on her lips, as surc. determined, unerring, invinci- ‘ule as was the Archangel Michael when he struck down and trampled upon the Demon of Darkness.” All America is for peace, and all America is for wer. The permanent peace which we have determined to secure for Cuba will more than compensate for a temporary rupture of peaceful relations with Spain, rf that is inevitable. If peace with Spain and peace In Cuba are radically inconsistent, then America selects deliberately but with fixed determination the latter alternative. — Toe Tke European powers have no especial friendship for Spain.

The professional base ball season begins tris afternoon, and from now until the middle of October, six months hence. a new element wiil be added to the daily lives and interests of a vast number of people. When the development of the game is considered it ts no wonder that it has secured a hold on the people of all elesses and tastes to the practical exclu- sion of other forms of outdoor sport for mid-summer. There is now such a thing as “scientific” ball playing. calling for a remarkable development of the athletic tendencies of the participants and for a degree of skill in minute details that was considered impossible a few years ago. The pitchers, especially, are capable ‘of work far beyond the range of their prede- cessors in the “box” a decade and a half or two decades back. The batters have in @ measure kept pace with the great ad- vancement of the men who serve the balls for them, while the rules have been stcad- Ny amended to prevent the growth of an undue advantage on the part of the pitcher ccmp_e.ad, bur undoub.e ily th:y will be con- ; } Roted. ideal game for spectators.

Quoth he, “Oh, Pegasus, come forth, Ard show yourself a sprinter. Of ‘violets’ in spring I sigh, In hopes to win the cash to buy A bunch of them next winter.” Not to Be Thought Of. “Have you selected your topic for a grad- uation essay?” said the dear girl’s mother. “Yes. It is ‘The Injurious Restraints of Superstition, Ancient and Modern.’ ” “That’s very interestirg. You must get right to work on it.” “Oh, dear no! You wouldn’t have me be- gin it on Friday, would you?” games, save In rare instances. The game attracts the support of thousands because of its vigor and snappy features. It Is an A Depressing Abstract. “Remember,” said the, tutor, who was trying to impress the boy king with a due sense of his dignity, “that you have at least thirty-seven titles’ “Yes,” was the dismal rejoinder, “and at least thirty-seven hundred- mortgages.” In the Thick of the Fray. “Isn't this excitement of war something éreadful?” exclaimed young Mrs. Torkins. “But you know there is no war actually in progress yet,” refoined th> lady who was making calls. “Well, it's bad enough as it is. And I tremble every minute for Charley's safety even in the scattering preliminary engage- ment, for he never thinks of his personal welfare. It made my blood run cold to hear the careless way he told how several long shots landed at the race track yesterday.” The Welcome. (General Weyler desires to command the Spanish army in Cuba.) When he comes back, It will not be the same old place With an obsequious populace And champagne in the cellar rack. With hammocks waiting in the shade And cigarettes and lemonade, When he comes back.

When he comes back, He'll listen for the loud “hooray!” Tkat echoed when he went away— But there will be no lack Of “Yankee Doodle” by the band And “Hail Columbia, Happy Land,” When he comes back. —>+-___ The Armistice. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. it is a misuse of words to speak of the latest Spanish move as an armistice. The use of the word conveys an erroneous idea of the eltuation. What is an armistice? The Century dic- tionary explains it to be “A temporary su: pension of hostilities by convention or agreement of the parties; a truce.” The Standard dictionary says it is “A tempo- rary cessation, by mutual agreement, of hostilities between two armies in the field or between nations at war; also, the agree- ment by which the cessation takes place; a truce.”” It is clear that no armistice can take place without the agreement of both the hostile parties. It takes two to make a bargain or conclude an armistice. One may make an offer or stop fighting, but that does not affect the right of the other to re- fuse or ignore the offer or to keep on fight- ing if no agreement has been made. it rests with the insurgents whether hos- tities shall actually be suspended, and it has mainly rested with them for some time past. If they are content to remain in- active in the field while gathering materials for a more determined effort to expel the Spanish rulers it will be assumed that the conditions of an armistice exist in fact, al- though there has been no formal agreement of that character. On the other hand, if Gen. Gomez is determined that not even in appearance shall there be a relaxation of the purpose to secure absolute independ- ence of Spain, the proclamation of Gen. Blanco will be as futile as the previous proclamations to come in and submit to Spanish clemency. ero Horrying Property Out of Havana. From the Hartford Ties. The unsafe situation of life and property in Havana has been for some time appar- ent One banking firm in New York re- ceived yesterday $400,000 in gold from Ha- vana for safe keeping—making $1,000,000 in gold received by that firm alone from the Cubaa port.
