War was declared by Spain on
Sunday. This should be a time
Of earnest solicitude to every pa
lriotic American. Our Govern
ment has espoused the cause Of
the Cubans, not for the acquisi-
ton Of territory, but to relieve the
oppressed, and no doubt in some
measure to avenge the death Of
our sailors who went down with
the Maine. A broad philanthropy
has prompted our action. We
hope that the horrors Of a long
war may be averted. In fact, we
believe that victory will speedily
be ours and Cuba will be free.
Let US invoke the guidance Of
God, who ruleth among the ma
tons, that His name may be ex-
allied among men and that right
eouSneSS may prevail.

70 Protect the Capital.

Torpsdoes and mines are being
planted in the Potomac river below
Washington. They are being put
there as a safeguard in case OF AK
emergency, and the exact location of
the mines is being kept secret. The
majority Of the work is being done
by night, and is being pushed for
ward with an eye to the possible con-
tingency of hostile fleet attempting
to shell the Capital.

The passage Of the joint resolu-
tons by Congress giving Spain
notice that the hour had struck
when she must gait her barbarous
hold on Cuba, were signed by the
presiding officers of both houses
on Tuesday. Wednesday Presi-
dent Mckinley affixed his sigma
ture and they became operative.
The Spanish Minister Immediately
demanded his passports and left
Washington, taking refuge in Can
ada. Thursday the resolutions
were transmitted to Gen. Stewart
L. Woodford, our Minister to
Spain, but he was handed his pass
ports by the Spanish Government
before he had an opportunity to
present in formal way the de-
mand Of the United States. This
act on the part Of Spain was con-
sidered a practical declaration of
war by our Government. Friday
our Key West feet was instructed
to invest Havana, and before night
fall the guns Of our squadron were
threatening the defenses of Cuba's
Capital. The President has pro-
claimed blockade Of all the ports
of Cuba and Porto Rico, and our
feet will see to it that the block
ade is made effective. Already sew
eral unimportant captures Of mer-
chantmen have been made off the
coast of Cuba by our naval vessels.
The President has issued a call
for I25, 900 volunteers to serve for
two years. Kentucky's quota un-
der this call is 3,4o7 men.
Nearly the entire standing army
Of the United States is being con-
centrated on the Southern coast,
so as to be available for use in case
Of the invasion of Cuba.
1t must not be understood that
the Spaniards are one whit behind
Us in active preparations for war.

OF course much talk is INDUCED
in by the boastful Spaniards OF
sending one or more vessels over
to attack and lay waste our sea-
port cities, but this is a game at
which two can play.
The guns of Moro Castle were
trained on our investing squadron
both Saturday and Sunday, but as
the shots fell short of the vessels
no attention was paid to the Span
iards' note Of welcome by the in
vesting squadron.
The Spanish Government on
Sunday officially declared war
against the United States. This
will be responded by Congress at
once, giving official notice to ths
world that Spain must take sound
drubbing at our hands. l
There has been strong hope
on the part Of the Spanish that sew
eral Of the powers Of Europe would
assume the quarrel for the Dons
and let Uncle Sam know that he
had more than Spain to fight.
But this hope, like many other
Spanish expectations, has proven
groundless. a.n-a

A resolution was introduced in
the House on Thursday by Con
gresham Pearson, of North Caro-
Lima, and passed, readnitting to
citizenship Mrs. Nellie Grant Sar-
toris. Her son wishes to serve on
the staff Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee in
the war against Spain. Who
would have had the temerity to
predict in April, 1865, that in
April, 1898, the grandson Of the
hero of Appomattox would ask
for an appointment to serve under
one Of those who laid down their
arms to the grandfather on that
memorable day? Nothing could
better illustrate, if such illustra-
ton were needed, the fact that the
issues fought to a finish from 81
to IS are dead and forgotten.
Spain will find the blood Of the
Lees just as willingly offered on
the altar of their country as that of
the Grants. The hour has struck
when Confederate and Federal are

tinction in the men who shall car

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1898-04-26

The Spanish are treating the
emblems Of American authority
with all sorts Of indignities these
days, when they happen to find
them with no one to modest or
make the decorators afraid. They
tore down "Old Glory" from the
American Consulate on the Cana
ry Islands and trampled it in the
dust. A mob in the Spanish Cap
ital tore down gilded eagle from
over the door OF the office Of the
Equitable Insurance Company and
broke it into bits, while prominent
civil and military officers stood by
and applauded the deed. There
will be quite a supply Of flags, and
maybe some Of the boys will be
kind enough to send along a few
American eagles, that will go over
from Key West in a day or two
and be set up in Cuba for the va
liant Dons to practice on. The
only thing likely to interfere with
their fun, we have heard OF, is
that there will be party of blue
coats along who have a weakness
for protecting from insult "Old
Glory" and the bird of freedom.
