AT no time since the blowing up of
the Maine has war seemed as probable
as now. The report of the board of
inquiry is positive on the point that the
explosion was from the outside and
from floating mine. The Spaniards
deny this and the fact that they are
dispatching their torpedo boats to Ha-
vana shows that they mean to stand by
their assertion. 1t is now said to be
the presidents policy TO send mes
sage to Congress to-day regarding the
condition of affairs in Cuba and asking
for $500, 900 for the relief of the starv-
ing Cubans, to ask of Spain to care for
her own helpless people and to come to
some satisfactory terms with them, fail
ing in this to declare hostilities. The
terrible atrocities must end and Span
sh cruel tyranny be driven from the
Western hemisphere. The president
is said to have stated that from a lack
of powder and other reasons we are not
prepared TO go TO war for 30 or go days,

night preparing arms and ammunition, |
the deficiency can be supplied in much
less time. The sending of the torpedo /,
tiotilla to Havana is regarded as an act |
of hostility and il Spain persists in it,
ships may be sent to intercept and de-
stroy it.
In submitting the report on the Maine
disaster yesterday to Congress, Mr..
Mckinley asked that it be at once re-
f9rred to the proper committee without
debate. and that no report be made
until SPANS explanation and position
are made known. The president hopes
to avert war by diplomacy, but the peo-
pie are getting tired of that kind of
foolishuess. che time has come to
intervene and every day 1t is put off
adds thousands TO the death roll of the
Cubans. 1t is generally thought that
the crisis will come in the next six ,
days. Let us pray that war will be o
averted, but not at the expense of the q
staroing and struggling Cuban patriots. q

SENATOR THURSTON, of Nebraska
whose wife died on vessel near Ha.
vana, while he was investigating af-
fairs in Cuba, delivered a great speech
in the Senate the other day on the hor-
rible condition of the natives of the is
land, who are dying by the thousands
from hunger and other privations. He
recognized that the time had come for
this country TO act, as every hours de-
lay only adds another chapter TO the
awful story of misery and death. This
government should intervene, peace
ably if it can, forcibly il it must, and
end the terrible carnage. The hall was
packed to sutfocation and the way the
appeal for intervention on the part of
the United States was applauded shows
that the sentiment finds response in
every American heart. If Mckinley
intends to do anything let him brace up
and do it without delay. Cuba must be
free and by making the blow short,
sharp and decisive world of suffering
will cease.

HOBSON IN WASHINGTON.
The Merrimac Hero Tells Bureau
Chiefs What He Would Do.

Washington, Oct. 81. - Constructor
Hobson has given great deal Of de-
tailed information as to the condition
of the Santiago wrecks. TIe was of the
opinion that it was useless to continue
the wrecking company any longer and
that results did not warrant the $500
per day it is receiving. Constructor
Hobson sad that. in his opinion, the
Colon and the Vizcaya could be raised
and brought to drydocks at New York
or Norfolk at a cost Of 100000 for one
and $500 600 for the other, and possibly
both could be brought in for 100000
each. The government would of course
take the risk Of expanding 100000 on
each of the vessels and in the end find
it was unable to raise them.
Mr.. Hobson wanted to be placed at
the head of the wrecking company and
be authorized to expend 100000 to $780,,
900 on the two vessels. He said the hull
of the Vizcaya was intact, and he pro-
posed to build oofferdam around her
and bring her trhthe surface after MAX
ing repa RS NECESSARY to float her. Mr.
Hobson also gave the bureau chiefs in
formation concerning the Reina Mer-
cedes and the Merrimac. The former
could be cas- ly raised, he believed, for
1t was apparent that she had been only
scuttled. The Merrmac could be rails
ed, and he said she must be removed
from the mouth of the harbor in some
way. The board will have another
meeting and possibly make some rec
ommendation to the secretary regard
ing the wrecks off Santiago.

exnrass the belief that II, in the event
