ACCIDENT OR T~REACHERY:
The American Battleship Maine was
Destroyed off the Coast of Cuba.
Great Excitement Everywhere.
War May Result.

The American battleship Maine,
which was recently ordered to the bar
! Dor Mt Havanna, Cube, was blown up
at nine O'Clock Tuesday night, n 25S
American sailors sent into eternity.
The first report was that the work had
been done by the Spanish. The next
report stated that it was an accident,
and was caused by the explosion
of a dynamo on board the ship.
Rumors still fill the air. One dis
patch states that divers had discovered
positive evidence of the work of a tor
pedo. The next dispatch stated as
positively that no divers had been per-
united to the wreck, and
would not be until the war department
was ready to make an official investi-
CATION. Then came other dispatches,
stating that divers had been at work.
that undoubted evidence of ~treachery
had been discovered, and that the
Spanish authorities were about to re-
move all such evidence.
We have no opinion to offer at this
writing whether it was au accident or
whether it was the work of the Spanish
authorities. A thorough investigation
may be necessary, and n will doubt
less be made. If Spain did this act
OF treachery, and it can be clearly
proven, there will be war, and it will
be hot from start 10 finish. Spain will
surely lose Cuba, but Ia return she
may do immense damage to American
seaport cities ard American commerce.
The people of Spain are worked up
to a frenzy over this affair. They say
that the very insinuations in the Amer
lean press, that they could be guilty of
such an act, is of itself sufficient to
justify Spain In declaring war against
the United States.
The INTEi LIGEEoER does not wan
war if honorable peace a be main
tanned. Neither do we want 10 see the
United States submit to any insults
from Spain or any other nation. We
have already let one insult after another
pass almost unnoticed, while England,
France aud Italy have promptly de-
handed and promptly received apology
and reparalion for such insults. We
must make Spain and all other nations
respect US, and we must be fair In all
our dealings.
The Monroe doctrine is one of our
dearest treasures, and though we have
made no great fuss about this doctrine
in recent years, the nations of the earth
must not forget that we will not quietly
submit to It's violation
The next few days will bring forth
evidence Of the greatest Importance.
It may mean wsr, or 1t may not; but
the present excitement will doubtless
the president and congress
70 take some actioc for the relief Of the
Cubans.
