He toured that great state from end to

and returned by the Northern Pacific

He stopped off in Washington to see

President.
President Grant, in 1875, after discuss

In such event, I am of the opinion that
other nations will be compelled to assume
the responsibility which devolves upon
them, and to seriously consider the only
remaining measures possible. mediation
and intervention. Owing, perhaps, to
the large expanse Of water separating the
island from the peninsula, the contending
parties appear to have within themselves
no depository of common confidence, to
suggest wisdom when passion and
excitement have their sway, and
assume the part of peacemaker.
In this view, in the earlier days of the
contest the good offices of the United
States as mediator were rendered in
good faith, without any selfish purpose,
in the interest of humanity and in sim
cere friendship for both parties, but were
at the time declined by Spain with the
declaration, nevertheless, that at future
time they should be indispensable. No
intimation has been received that in the
opinion of Spain that time has been
reached. And yet the strife continues
with all it's dread horrors and. all it's in
juries to the interests of the United States
and of other nations. Each party seems
quite capable of working great injury and
damage to the other, as well as to all the
relations and interests dependent on the
existence Of peace in the island; but they

THE MAINE DISASTER.

A Striking Illustration of the Element
of Danger and Disorder.
These elements of danger and disorder
already pointed out have been strikingly
illustrated by a tragic event which has
deeply and justly moved the American
people. l have already TRANSMITTED to
congress the report of the naval court of
inquiry on the destruction of the battle
ship Maine in the harbor of Havana dur
ing the night OF the 10Th of February.
The destruction of that noble vessel has
filled the nations heart with inexpressi
BILE horror. Two hundred and 1ifty-nine
brave sailors and marines and two officers
OF our navy We're repOsing in the fancied
security of a friendly harbor, when hurled
to death-grief and want brought to their
homes and sorrow to the nation.
The naval court of inquiry which, it is
eedless to say, commands unqualified
confidence of the government, was unani-
nous in it's conclusion that the de-
struction of the Maine was caused by an
exterior explosion, that of a submarine
mine. 1t did not assume to place the
responsibility. That remains to be fixed.
In any event the destruction of the Maine,
by whatever exterior cause is a patent
and impressive proof of state of things
in Cuba that is intolerable. That condi-
ton is thus shown to be such that the
Spanish government cannot assure safety
and security to a vessel of the American
navy in the harbor of Havana on a mis-
sion of peace and rightfully there.
Further referring in this connection to
recent diplomatic correspondence, a dis
patch from our minister to Spain, of the
Goth ult., contained the statement that
the Spanish minister for foreign affairs
assured him positively that Spain will do
all that the highest honor and justice re-
quire in the matter of the Maine. The
reply above referred to, of the 31st ult.,
also contained an expression of the read
mess of Spain to submit to an arbitration
all the differences which can arise in this
matter, which is subsequently explained
by the note of the Spanish minister at

ton by experts, which decision Spain
accepts in advance.
To this have made no reply.
