M OCCASION for Alarm

1t is possible that, as stated in the
Washington Post, Senator Hanna may
be confident that nothing could induce
him to consent to war, and he may
have gone to New York to reassure
his Wall street friends on that point.
He is likely to find, however that the
situation is no longer one that will
stand with, or without. hitching. and
that he does not control it. For one
thing, there is the strongest reason to
believe that Spain is determined to
goad this country into war. in the hope
OF securing European Intervention to
end it, and to protect the interests of
the Spanish Cuban bondholders. But.
even if that were not so. the matter mas
gone too far, and the American people
are more seriously enraged than pos
sibly Mr.. Hanna is aware of. Their
st tiled conviction in regard to the
fiendish treachery of Spain in the har-
Dor of Havana will be found to have
greater weight in shaping destiny dur
ing the next few days than any inter
venting action.

That is why American residents of
Spain and of Havana are not safe,
whether they are there as representa-

IL a government means anything at

that the people have selected the men
composing that government to repre-

the brains, figuratively speaking, while
the rest of the nation is the body. and
just as a mans brain must be held re-

nation must be held responsible for the
acts of its citizens
1t is not our business to AUNT up the

only five fully armored ships. namely:
