when finished to constitute fair arm
ament for probably thirty or more aux
Hilary cruisers, should such large feet
be found necessary to supplement the
regular warships.

APPEAR TOO C0WARDLY FOR THAT,
But In the Event Of Privateering II May
be Necessary to Invade and Bring
About the Dlsmemberment
Of Spain.
APPEAR roo cOWARDLY FOR THAT.

Madrid, March 14.-The view held in
official circles Is that Spain will not
provoke war, because If she did she
would find herself isolated, but If Amer
lea gives the provocation Spain will
not be alone in the struggle.
The general opinion is that in the
event of war Spain will not need to at
tack American territory. 1t will suffice
her to pursue a war of privateering.
AS Americas commerce Is sevenfold
greater than SPANS, American inter-
ests would suffer most. War would be
madness, benefiting neither nation
and good sense, therefore, counsels
peace.

Cornelius Vanderbilt lived IN during his
short stay In Washington. To this house
the congressman is fond Of inviting his
friends, and TO every guest he says with
perhaps pardonable pride:
"Mebbe you don't know that next door
to us Is the house Mr.. Vanderbilt lived
In. We're getting up In the world, you
see"
But for the life Of him this congressman
cannot get over his old habit of calling the
o'clock evening meal Supper" instead
OF dinner" greatly to the annoyance Of
his fashionable wife and daughters.
