an effective blockade around tho island o.

The moment Spain bioekndes Cuban

OF the war Is legally recognized now as the
date Of that declaration. i was the ad-
mission by the United States that war cx-

establishment OF hociade OF Cuba by
Spain, will have similar effect to Mr..
Lincoln's action IN isGl, In causing other
governments to interpret the rebellion as
Estate OF war;"
This government would undoubtedly act
promptly in such event. Then would come
the friction in the attempt Of Spain TO en-
force the right OF search. AEgressive nc
ton and insults to the Has. whlch could

would soon arouse Indignation iu this coun-

THE ADVANCE " TINE MULE,

The difference between tho manu- 'acture
America is that here it Is accumulated
and used IN tank while over there action
takes the place OF words. This advance
up the Milo by Great Britain IS Of q char
acter, in purpose, with the foreign cam
paigns which have begun and ended IN our
congress this winter.
It was being urged by the opposition IN
England that Great Britain was becoming
Isolated TO tho great danger Of iis power
and Its international prestige. Then came
the moral effect throughout British AZ
rican dorninious Of tho defeat Of British
subjects by tho Beers, France and the
sultan began, too, TO inquire into the no.
cessity for any further occupation OF Egypt
by tho British forces. Something had TO he
done by tho Salisbury government to an.
swer these structures and relieve these aa-
moving conditions In congress such a DIFF
foulty would have been promptly met also
--by pyrotechnic display Of oratory on
some innocuons resolution. England hos
seized the first opportunity TO meet the
Troubles by plan or bold and aggressive
actlon-answering every demand OF the sit
uation by one blow.
No longer Isolated Great Britain virtually
becomes the silent partner Of the drel-
bund; by victory against the Dervlshes

the defeat by the Beers, and by fomeniing
