THE WAR RESOLUTION.

On Tuesday last the Senate and
House of Representatives passed.
Joint resolution as follows:
REsoLvED.-That the people of the
Island of Cuba are and of a right
ought to be free and independents:
SecOnd-That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and that
the United States States does hereby
demand, that the government of Spain
at once relinquish its authority and
Government in the Island of Cuba
and withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
7hSrd-That the President of the
United States be, and he hereby is
directed and empowered to use the
land and naval forces of the United
States, and to call into the actual ser
vice of the United States the militia
of the several States to such extent as
may be necessary to carry these reso-
lutions into effect.
FOurth-That the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or
intention to exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over said island,
except for the pacification thereof and
asserts its determination when that is
accomplished to leave the government
and the control of the island to the
people,"
The Senate resolution previously
passed had clause recognizing the
government of the Cubans on the
island as an existing and established
government. The elimination Of this
factor in the joint resolution was a
victory for the conservative members
of the Senate and the House.
The fourth clause OF the joint reso
luton is wise provision. Were it not
for this, other European powers might
view with distrust the intervention OF
the United States, and fear that this
was only the beginning of other ag-
gressions. This clause of the resolu-
ton declares distinctly that the pur-
pose of the United States is not terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, nor even the
desire to exercise limited sovereignty
over the island.

N4rIoSAL VOLUNTEER RESERVE

N4TION4L VOLUNTEER RESERVE
The National Volunteer Reserve, an
organization less than two weeks old,
has in that time already enrolled over
one hundred veteran generals AID ad-
mirals of both sides in the late war-En
rollments are coming in by the thous-
auds and thousands and the work
of enlistment is going on all over the
United States. 1t has the hearty en-
dorsement of the Secretary of War and
the Governors of nearly all the States.
The plan is briefly this. Enrolment
signifies the willingness to volunteer
at any time when the President calls
for troops and avoids all expense.
trouble or delay to the Government,
or creating too much feeling, or I'M
necessary alarm or require any act OF
war to place US in formidable posi-
ton.
1t is a peace, as we'll as war meas
ure. Among the nations of the world
our war standing is ridiculous, being
only %, 900 regulars and 100, 900 militia.
What this movement will show is, that
there are over ten million men who
will take the field if their country
needs them.
While this tremendous burst of
patriotism is going on all over the
country, can Hartford county afford to
stand in the background, and with
hold herself from the mighty army Of
men who are daily and hourly signi-
flying their intention of defending
their nations honor when it is assailed?
Let it not be said that the county in
which the very first Declaration Of
Independence was proclaimed by
American patriots, (when they assem-
bled in Bushtown)is any less patriotic
now than then, and that out of thirty
thousand people ali we can send is one
company of men who are already en-
listed. Let us answer it not with
words but acts. Let us show that
there is within our borders men able
and willing to respond to our coun-
try's demand at moments notice.
All that is necessary is to enlist sub
iect TO a call from the President. 1t
may never come, but if does, let us re-
spond quickly and periodically, re-
Numbering our duties to our God and
our country, ARE higher than any other
obligations.
We would be glad TO see this move
ment take immediate capitalization
and now have in our possession all the
necessary information and enlistment
blanks. Should it be deemed best to
call public meeting we will do all in
our power to aid it in any way both
publicly and personally.

LATEST WAR NEWS.

On Wednesday, President Mckinley
signed the resolutions passed by Con
gress, which are published in full else
where, and also issued an ultimatum to
Spain to evacuate Cuba by Saturday
noon. The latest indications are that
she will answer mo" emphatically, or
else pay no attention whatever TO our
demand. Iii either event, actual hos
tilities will Immediately commence.
What our movements will be is of
course matter of conjecture. 1t may
be a peaceful blockade of Havana and
other principal cities or an invasion OF
Cuba with our army, or both.
1t is, of course, necessary that all
army movements are kept secret and
in this, Spain is far more successful
than the United States. Through the
censorship of the press, no one except
the parties in command know the
location of many of her cruisers and it
is a matter OF grave doubt where the
Spanish flotilla, which left the Canary
Islands several weeks ago, now is
Our great daily newspapers in their
anxiety to furnish all the news have
kept the world posted in the slightest
movements of the army and navy and
Spain has been informed with the
fullest details regarding our fortitica-
tions and harbor defenses. Some
papers having gone SO far as to at
tempt to give drawings of the forts
and the location of submarine mines.
This should not be. AS anxious as
we all are for the latest, fullest and
most accurate news, yet newspapers
should remember that there is duty
they owe to their government which
is higher than to crafty the curiosity
of their readers. Full reports of every
battle including the minutest details
should be given to the public at the
earliest possible moment, and all in
formation which would damage the
enemy ought to be freely ventilated
but newspapers should not divulge
any private information which would
have tendency to Inform Spain as to
what line of action our army or navy
will take. Any newspaper which does
this is nothing more or less than
traitor and it's editor out to be court
martialed and shot.
