military resources of the country. Thu:
it will be seen that we are in excellent
shape to talk very stifiy, not merely to
Spain, but to the strongest country in the
world.
Without waiting for the report of the
Board of Inquiry the Administration
has definitely rejected the accident
theory. There is no longer any doubt
that the Maine was blown up by inten-
ton. This is a portentous conclusion to
arrive at, and throws a fearful response
bility on Spain. Three lines of inquiry
Immediately present themselves:
l. Whether it was treacherously done
by Spanish officers of the army and
navy, with the sanction and connivance
of their superiors.
.. Whether it was the act of certain
officers outside of their superiors' knowl-
edge?
8. Whether it was the act of irrespon-
sible fanatics having no connection with
the army or navy?
Any one of these alternatives is dread
full for Spain, and means at least abject
humiliation and smarting damages. The
onus of the startling crime is now upon
her, for it is extremely necessary for her
to show that she was in nowise response
BILE for it. This she will find very diff
cult, for the whole civilized world is
profoundly convinced of the innate
hypocrisy of the Spanish character. His
tory is full of instances of the darkest
treachery in international dealings in
the past, and this character maintained
through centuries now rises up in judg-
ment against her.
The burning question becomes as to
what we propose to do. This is a very
perplexing matter for US, for we must
do something signal, momentous and
exemplary. The mildest thing sug-
gested is an enormous indemnity, with !
an humble apology, salute to our flag,
etc. The trouble about an indemnity |
is that the bankrupt Kingdom is utterly |
unable to pay ii. Consequently, we
shall have to take Cuba, Porto Rico,
and possibly the Philippine Islands, and
hold them for time at least. 1t will |
mean the end of Spanish rule in the
Antilles, whatever subsequent DISPOSE
ton we may make of Cuba and Porto
Rico. IF we decide to annex them that
will be in satisfaction of any money
demand we may make on Spain. If we
decide to let them become Independent,
5elfgoverning republics, that can be
lone. Whatever the next step may be
t cannot help being a severe punish
nent, in some form or another, of Spain.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON D. Co. THURSDAY MARCH 49, 1898

Gus injuries were treated in the hospitals.
The miasmatic swamps of the South
sent 100000 eases to the hospitals,
and resulted in 10S,687 deaths. Dis
eases of the nervous system sent 1885,
996 cases to the surgeons, and caused
5,257 deaths. Diseases Of the eye
alone were responsible for no less than
96,200 cases, and of the ear 81 900
cases. Diseases Of the lungs throat and
other respiratory organs were response
bic for the appalling number of 504,-
113 cases, and 24,100 immediate deaths.
This CHASTITY record is even exceeded by
that of diseases Of the digestive organs,
caused by improper food and impure
water, which sent 617,510 men to the
hospitals. Typhoid fever killed 29.336
men; various forms of dysentery killed
44,55S. In addition to this 34,209
men were so badly mangled by gunshots
as to be discharged as incapable Of fur
Their service; 20,935 were discharged
for consumption, 16,4S7 for diarrhea,
15,040 for general debility, 1868 for
rheumatism, 1927 for heart disease,
etc. Altogether 223,535 men were so
broken down by their service as to be
of no further use. These are terrific fig
ures, to which the soldier-hater, who is
so fond of commenting on the figures of
the pension roll, never alludes.
If we add this gross total of 223,535
men who were bodily wrecked to the
total of 304,369 deaths which the
Surgeon-General reported in 1904
sum far too small, by the way, since
there are over 100000 graves in the
National Cemeteries alone-we have an
appalling total of 527, 1904 men actually
destroyed during the war, an army far
larger than the world had ever before
seen placed in the field.
The soldier-haters are fond of COM
pairing the cost of our pension roll with
that of maintaining the armies Of |
Europe. Let us make comparison of
this awful total Of 527, 904 dead or COM
pletely ruined men with the effective |
forces of European countries at the
of this year:
Germany has 607, 30S men.
France has 559,260 men.
Italy has 216,235 men.
Austro- Hungary has 1882 men.
Russia has 1,743, pa men.
Great Britain has 900, 1919 men.
Turkey has 228,57 men.
Spain has 84,335 men.
Belgium has 50,574 men.
Netherlands has 63, 468 men.
Denmark has 27,720 men.
That is, almost as many as Germany
has to-day under arms in an army which
menaces Europe died or were totally dis
abled in the frightful years between
1861 and 1865. There were more men
than France has under arms, and about
vice as many as Great Britain, Italy,
1r Austria has.

men who endured these inconceivably

And, like some fair bird of heaven

And a voice from out the heavens fell
upon my listening ear;
There's a brighter day approach

from their slumber deep:
They had heard the voice of prom

And the spirit of the morning. posing
