GERMANY AND THE MAl E

II, as is feared by many, the ad-
miuistration is in doubt as to the
exact line OF action to be taken In
forcing Spain TO settlement Of the
Maine case, the example now set
by Germany may be Of value as in.
dicating the proper course.
In the case of the Maine, an
American warship, trusting to the
protection OF the Spanish flag in a
Spanish harbor, was blown up by a
Spanish submarine mine and the
lives Of 266 American sailors we're
sacrificed, In the German case
against Spain, a sugar refinery at
Cannamaba, Cuba, owned by Ger
mans, was destroyed by Cuban in
surgents, and four persons connect
ed with the refinery were killed.
This happened more than a month
after the Maine disaster, but Ger
many has already voiced her inhexi.
BILE demand for a settlement.
The terms of settlement include
the punishment of the parties gull
ty of the outrage and the payment
Of heavy money indemnity. Spain
is notified that the settlement must
be made Immediately, otherwise
Germany herself will proceed to
punish the offenders and collect the
indemnity. In witness of her deter
mination to do so, the German war
ship Geier has been ordered to
steam direct for Cuba to perform
this service. Under the Spur of
this vigorous action the Spanish
Ambassador to Berlin has "promis-
ed that he would exert himself to
the utmost to comply with the Ger
man demands" "
Judged by this procedure on the
part of Germany we have, indeed,
shown marvellous forbearance in de-
ferring action on the Maine out.
rage. The property destroyed in
that instance was not that OF pri-
vate individuals, but of the United
States Government itself-an Amer
ican warship sent to Havana to
protect the lives of the American
Consul General and other Ameri-
cans, The 266 zen killed were not
private individuals taking for gain
the chances of life in a country un-
settled by war, but American sail
ors sent in the line of duty to Hdva
ma on extra hazardous service for
their flag and country. In the line
of that duty, as ordered by their
Government, they were treacher-
ously murdered by the Spaniards on
the night of February 18th, in Ha-
vana harbor, to the undisguised Joy
of the Spanish populace, who hailed
the event as "the first victory over
the Americans.
What are we going to do about
this? Continue to treat the Names
destruction as "minor incident" in
our negotiations with Spain? God
forbid Refrain from holding Spain
to a sure and relentless-even
though Notwithstanding for our
sunken warship and our 266 dead
sailors? God forbid What will
have become of our national honor,
of our own respect for our flag, of
our own estimate of the value of
our sailors lives, if we do these
things? Shall we confess to our
selves and to the world that we do
not estimate our honor, our flag
and the lives of our sailors as worth
the peril of a war that may result
in commercial disadvantage to a
few people? God forbid!-St, Louis
