breaks
And the ships sweep out to sea;
When the Toe is neared, when the decks are
cleared,
And the colors floating free;
When the squadrons meet, when it's feet to

And front to front with Spain;
From ship to ship from lip to lip
Pass on the quick refrain,
Remember, Remember the Mane!'
When the flag shall sign, "Advance in line
Train ships on an even keel"
When the guns shall flash and the shot shall
crash,
And bound on the ringing steel;
When the rattling blasts from the armored
mastS
Are hurling their deadliest rain,
Let their voices loud, through the binding
Cry. ever, the fierce refrain,
Remember, Remember the Maine!'
Gods sky and sea in that storm shall be
Fatcs chaos OF smoke and flame,
But across that hell every shot shall tell,
Not gun miss its aim;
Not a blow shall fail on the crumbling mall
And the that enguif the slain
Shall sweep the decks of the blackened wrecks,
With the laundering, dread refrain,

between a sovereign state and persons
who are only considered as forming un-
organized. incoherent and rowing bands
of municipal insurrectionists, nor would
such action be possible. The language
used by the President is subject to
nc other construction than that OF a
definite recognition that "a state OF
war existed in Cuba in 1896. and that
both contestants We're belligerents be
tween whom the mediation of a neutral
power was practicable if accepted on
both sides.
Again Mr.. Mckinley commits himself
to a state of war when he speaks Of
the extraordinary activity that char
acterized the second year of the war,
when the insurgents invaded even the
hitherto unharmed fields of Pinar del
Rio, and carried havoc and destruction
up to the walls of the city of Havana
itself"
In another place he declares:
The forciilc Intervention of the United States
/ as a neutral, 10 stop the war; according TO the
large dictates OF humanity. and following many
Historical prtcCdtnts where neghboFing States
have interycHcd To check the hopeless sacrifices
J ers, Is Justihable on rational grounds.
With the last quotation our case for
the recognition of Cuban beliigerency
is made complete. In describing the
United States as a neutral" equal ac-
! knowledgment is made Of the bellig-
| erency Of the Cubans and of Spain, be-
cause il would be an International and
| legal impossibiIity for this Government
| to assume neutrality between two con-
tending forces, only one of which was Il
beiligerent. To recapitulate, the Presl-
Dental message of April IL recognizes
a state of war; in Cuba; admits that
il existed in 1896, and that, then. me
diation" was offered between Spain
and her revolted colony" and not be-
, tween Spain and an unknown number
of rowing bands of outlaws, bandits or
municipal rebels.
Thus, we find in the message direct
and positive evidence and admission
that the Cuban people are, and for two
years have been, endowed with every
attribute requisite TO the character
Of belligerents, as laid down in
the rules of international law; and
whether Mr.. Mckinley intended it OF
not. which does not in the least matter,
it recognizes that Cuba is a "revolted
colony" engaged in war against Spain;
declares the United States to be neutral
as between the parties to that war, and
hence, beyond any possibility of mis-
conception or denial, absolutely recog-
nizes Cuban belligerency.
We desire TO call the attention OF
Congress, and especially of its foreign
affairs committees, to this Executive
action, which at the present juncture
has the important effect of endowing
the armies under Gomez and Garcia
with the rights of civilized warfare, s.
long and treacherousIy withheld from
them, and which also gives them tbs
further right to wave their lone stal
banner on the seas.

Quite apropos to the present agitation
Is the following:
The recent announcement that il was

Cuba has naturally caused much COM

event, would be the feeling Of the Gu

sion upon a similar question OF annexa-
ton to the United States, which was

Now for Finai Action.

Unless patriotism and regard for the
fame and honor of the nation have dis
appeared in the land, this day should
see the end of the present suspense, and
a settlement of the difficulty between
this country and Spain. Nothing is to
be gained and much is to be lost by
any further delay, which now becomes
inexcusable upon any reasonable
grounds.
Both Houses Of Congress have adopt
ed resolutions practically amounting to
declaration of war, both order armed
intervention in Cuba, and that, beyond
question, is war. The House of Rep
resentatives desires to serve notice on
Spain to evacuate Cuba at once The
Senate calls upon the Spanish govern
ment to withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and adjacent waters,
and to surrender any pretense of fu-
ture sovereignty in the same. The vital
difference between the two branches OF
the National Legislature is that, while
the Senate recognizes the present Re
public of Cuba as the lawful govern
ment of the island, the House omits
such recognition.
The difference is not so great that it
should stand in the way of an under
/ standing and agreement today. If the
/ House refuses to concur in the resolu-
/ ti-n Of the Senate as that resolution
now stands. we are unable to see any
! reason why a committee of conference
could not reach and formulate an al
/ Tentative measure which would be sat
/ isfactory to all parties in Congress. and
to the people
Patriotic and instant action is what
/ the country demands and Will have, OF
know the reason why. With deter
1 mination on all sides to promote and
not TO hamper war legislation in the
( interests of the Spanish bond conspir-
acy, or in the hope of foreign interven-
/ ton, there is nothing which ought to
prevent the joint resolutions finally tc
I be adopted, from being signed by the
( President, and becoming law before
sunset this evening. That is what the
American people are looking for and in
sist upon.
The public dangers involved in an
other days postponement of the inev-

made a simian spectacle of himself on
the floor of the Senate. We remember
a time when he interrupted important
proceedings to buzz unpleasantly in the

surrounding him, in a despicable at

a small consulate, out of petty spite.
And, on another day, he wept bitter
tears Of uneducated rhetoric on ac-
count of our ingratitude to Spain for
the discovery of America by an Italian
sailor

Wellington, has been a nuisance, but
he has waited patiently for an
opportunity such as Saturday afforded

Mr.. Hanna a traitor to country and

Again the Administration organs are
predicting that the President will veto
any resolution recognizing Cuban inde

sugar interests. All the same, if Con-

of active Intervention by Europe and
leave Spain alone. That crime is the
direct casus belli, as far as the American
