Size ND the Situation.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. Especial
As stated repeatedly with emphasis
president Mckinley is doing everything
within reason to avoid a rupture with
spain. lie Is following very closely Mr..
Cievelands peace policy But notwith-
standing the Administrations well-known
attitude, certain papers print sensational
articles every day to show that war with
Spain Is sure to come.
A large majority of Americans undoubt-
ediy sympalhize with the Cuban revolu-
tionists and would like TO see the United
States recognize the belligerent rights Of
TIE plucky band that Is battling for Cuban
Independence.
'rrey would delight TO see the United
s1ates lick Spain. But the conservative
element In America looking at all sides Of
this Cuban question feel that our govern
ment should still go slow, that IL should
not get into war with Spain IL war can
possibly be avoided.
But Spain will never be able TO sub
1ugate the revolutionists-will never be
able TO pacify the island permanently. and
the situation during the next six months
Is going 10 be exceedingly difficult. there
tore for Mr.. Mckinley 10 deal with.

Spain is sending a semi official agent to
this country TO study American sentiment
and ind out just what our government
proposes TO do. This agent is one of the
ablest men in Spain. He is not 20 be at

He is due here tomorrow or next day.
