A WAR WITH SPAIN

Not Seriously Contemplated by Wel-In-
formed congressman Account OF
Cuban observation-disclosures Irritating
Such Action Might be to Spain, that
Country Is In mo- Condition to Resent It.
A Spanish Precedent.
WAsHINGTos, Feb. .2s.-The possibn
ity of war with Spain as a result of
the Cuban resolutions reported from
the foreign affairs committee yester-
day, IS not seriously regarded by we'll
informed members of the house. l. is
argued that the resolutions do not, in
the first place, recognize the belliger-
ency OF the rebels; but simply show
that state OF war exists there, leav-
ing it to the president to make beIlig-
erent recognition by proclamation
when desirable. That state of war
does exist there, they say, is manifest
both from the reports of American con-
sular officers in the island and the sew
eraI proc1amations of Gen. Weyler, is
sued since his arr wal in Cuba.
So far as our right to interfere to
protect American property in Cuba is
concerned, such right, it is claimed,
exists under international usage. and
the necessity is still stronger since the
state department has taken position
which virtually stops us from claiming
damages under present conditions.
1t is asserted that no matter how ir-
ritating a recognition of belligerency
might be to the Spanish government,
they are in no position to enter into a
war with the United States, and would
not seriously entertain such a propo-
sition. 1t is pointed out that when
Spain and Great Britain recognized
the belligerency of the confedera ties
during the war of secession we could
not resent it because the energies of
the government were taxed to their
utmost to suppress our own people.
Spain, it is asserted, is less prepared
for foreign war at this time than the
United States was 81 years ago.

COMPUTATIONS and anlyses made at
the Normal school in Chicago lead to
the conclusion that 44s,oOO tons of
-'dust" fell upon the city during the
recent snowstorm, and thnt about IS
per cent. of it was pure sand. So it is
fair to presume that the stuff came
from the far west, and was carried in
the air for many hours before being
distributed here. The total quantity
thus taken must have been enormous,
Ms the area on which it fell extends
from west of the Mississippi to Indiana,
end from Wisconsin 20 Illinois.
