CONCLUSIVE ARGUMENT.
A Teuton's Reason Why the War
Against Spain is Foolish.

"A half-dOZen men waiting on the sub
way platform under Birthstone Corner
for south bound cars the other evening
resolved themselves into a board of
strategy and settled the conduct of the
war to q triumphant finish. All but
one We're optimistic. The exception
was a pessimist of the most melancholy
species. He didn't believe in the war at
all, and, after arranging for a modus
vivendi at Manila and planning the
capture of Santiago, Havana and San
Juan, the other members of the board
attacked him. But he sustained their
assaults bravely and maintained with
spirit his opinion that the contest with
Spain was utterly uncalled for Though
he proclaimed himself as good an Amer
lean as any other man, his accent be-
trayed the fact that his mother tongue
was acquired in the Kaiser's domains,
and he proceeded to declare himself in
this wise:

Captain Eulate of the Vizcaya is the
only one of the officers who has thus

His reasons for il are that Admiral
Cervera was only required to give a
