interest.
A war between Spain and America
would be. material Injury that would
be equally apportioned. The ship
ping Of the latter would be a prey tc
prlvateers. and her commerce with
the profits would pass to the neutrals
The reduction of the national debt
would be arrested, internal organiza.
tion checked, and public discomfort
would revive with the growing bur
dens.
Spain would lose Cuba; but con.
tlnue Spain with her obstinate te-
nacity Of resistance, her great unde.
veloped resources, her power to at
/ tack American trade, and her COM

America would gain at a heavy
cost what might for years be more a
loss than gain; Wodld be entangled
In war combining a maximum cost
and minimum glory. Such commu-
nleatIons cannot pass unregarded at
Washington, since there is still
ground for the hope that peace may
be preserved

THE HAGUE, September 17.-Dur- /
ing the session Of the Statistical Con-

for the collection Of statistics respect
ing the military service, with a view |
to the reduction of standing armies. |
Mr.. Ruggles, OF New York, sup
ported the motion In a lengthy |
speech, wherein he contrasted the /
armaments of Europe with those Of |
the United States. He exa implied the /
recent war in America for the sup
preston Of the rebellion and the ex-
tirpatiOn Of slavery, and when all |
was over the return Of the soldiers /
to their peaceful avOcations. To pay /
the costs of that war does not impOv- /
erish and weaken the country as
much as standing armies do the Euro
pean States.
