WAR MAY he AVERTED.

Spain Has i'm Hand a Means Of
Avoiding 1t Unlexs the United
Strtes Irsixts..
st. Paul, March 27.-The New York
Herald's special cable to the Pioneer
Press from Madrid says: In spite of
the absolutely pessimistic views taken
of the situation, am in position to
state that there is yet large margin
Of possibility that war may be avert
ed and a settlement arrived at. Even
yesterday the Spanish government
knew of the verdict of the Maine COM
mission, and tomorrow Will know it
officially. Its official reception will
lead to a council, at which a PROPOSE
ton will be made regarding the stu
alton and scheme presented for
peaceful solution of the question. That
proposition may be startling and unex-
pected, but it will voice the sentiment
of the extreme liberals, including Sa-
gasta and Moret. Their views will
either dominate and secure peace. or
we may expect, without any kind OF
doubt, Il ministerial crisis. My opin-
ion is absolutely that there will be no
ministerial crisis. I have had seri-
GUS talk with one of Spain's foremost
and most liberal men which convinces
me that unless the United States alb
solutely insists on war Spain has in
hand means Of avoiding it. asked
a high parsonage whether I might
quote striking leading article of
Sagasta's organ, Ell Liberal, as repre-
senting faithfully the sentiment of the
Spanish cabinet. He said: Eyes;
you would be justified Now. that
article is headed, in big type, ESQ?
No!' which, interpreted, means:
'"That? Mop
In this instance the '"That' is the
| verdict Of the Maine commission.
Over and over again in these dis
patches I have asserted in a manner
which I hoped would be understood
by all as being inspired that Spain
never could accept verdict that she
could possibly be responsible for the
blowing up Of the Maine. Now, Ell
Liberal, which you may take as rep
resenting the government. says, in the

The peaceful attitude OF Spain does
not come from debility. 1t is evident
that country which has been able to
send an army Of 100000 men 5000
miles away to assert its natural au-
thority can scarce be charged with
weakness. The explosion of the Maine
is attributed to exterior causes, but
not that! We can suffer all kinds Of
ISLANDERS, but not that one which at
tributes to us a national crime. We
do not desire to have recorded in the
history of nations any such false impu-
tation. Spain has up to now held the
reputation of an honorable country,

Senator Davis and Tim Byrnes to-
day had Il hearing before the assistant
attorney general of the interior de-
partment on the claim of Minnesota to
sections 16 and 36 on Red Lake and
Chippewa reservations, to be used for
school purposes. The Minnesotans did
not base the claim of the state to the
lands OH the ground that the reserva-
ton was not ceded to the government
at the time Of the school grant, but
claim that the act admitting the state
into tho Union gave the state the right
TO take sections 16 and .36 in each
township for school purposes, and that
the subsequent creation of Indian re-
scrvations could not deprive the state
Of it's rights to these lands. 1t is not
expected that the secretary will allow
the claim of the state. as the interior
department officials assert that it
would establish dangerous prece-
dent. In this event the case Will be
carried into the courts.

people in the New England Magazine for
SeDtember relates to the island of Monhe-
gan, an island which played an import
ant part in the industrial and political
beginnings of New England, and is now
becoming popular summer resort TOT
artists and literary people. Mr.. A. u.
Pettenngill describes this delightful re-
gion with true appreciation. "Monhe-
gan," he says, sis full of interest and
charm; and is power Of attraction is in
creasing every year. The historian goes
there to solve perplexing problems OF To-
cal history, the artist turns hither for
new and striking subjects of which vii
lage and shore are full, making the
island the most paintable of any on the
coats; the literary man seeks in this far
away place new motives, situations,
characters and pictures for his book, and
find them In the simple life of the people
and in the varied scenery. So the beau
tiful and historic island is oontribut-
ing to make still more precious Ameri-

Bent. But it is clear that If we are going

Regulars will not be numerous enough to

pose. That prediction is now being veri-
fed. The people may be in favor of expan-
sion, but indirectly they want the country
expanded without the help of their sons.
