SHOULD SPAIN DECLARE WAR.

| Should Spain declare war against the
United States no one doubts that the
result would be the loss to her Of Cuba,
and this fact will prevent such action on
her part. OF course. should the United
States recognize the independence OF
Cuba that Of itself would be sufficient
grounds for declaration OF war on
the part of Spain. but 1t is not believed
that she will take the step for
anything short of that.
It Is natural that there should be some
excitement in Spain because of the
recent action of Congress in regard to
Cuba's belligerency, but unless the
United States recognizes the indepen-
dence of the Island the Madrid Govern
ment is not going to war with us Spain
knows as well as we do that we are
stronger on the seas than herself and
that the base of operations are at our
very doors. while she would have to
cross the Atlantic to meet us. 1t would
be an easy matter for this country to
overrun Cuba, and the very moment the
American foot touches Cuban soil that
very moment the Island is lost to Spain.

weak himself that he was reluctantly
obliged to lay him down, well knowing
