ARMED INTERvENTION-No RECOGNI-
TInN nE INnEpENnENCE


TON OF INDEPENDENCE.
The presidents message reached CON-
gress on Monday last. As expected,
there is wide divergence of opinion
amongst senators and representatives as
to the wisdom and the probability of
the endorsement and support by con"
gress and the nation of the policy out
lined and advocated therein.
The president recommends armed in
tervention to at once stop the war be-
tween Spain and Cuba, on the grounds
of humanity, protection to our own cIti-
zens, injury to our commerce and prop
erty, and because such war is menace
to our peace, and source OF constant
and enormous expense to the United
States. Treating the Maine disaster
very briefly, the president cites the
opinion of the Board of Enquiry, that
the source of the explosion was an out
side one; that responsibility therefor
can not be fixed, and that to Spain's re-
quest for an investigation of the cause
by an international tribunal of experts
he had made no reply.
After quoting American authorities,
the president, in support of his opinion,
opposes declaration of the indepen-
dence of Cuba, most emphatically, IN
these words:
hrCm the standpoint of eXpedience do L
think it would be wise or prudent for this
government to recognize at the present time,
the so-called Cuban Republic. Such recog-
milton is not necessary to enable the United
States to intervene and paclfy the island.
The opinion in congress is practically
unanimous that delay must end now.
Many complain that the treatment OF
the Maine disaster is lacking in vigor,
and that in itself it constitutes valid
cause for declaration of war. Others
demand a declaration of independence
as fundamentally essential; others, that
with his message, and as he specifically
states, the president has exhausted all
means for peaceful solution OF the
controversy; others, that congress ought
not and will not grant the president
permissive powers to employ armed
force or not, as he may decide, but that
on congress now rests the responsibility
for Immediately adopting definite and
final line of policy and action, and that
any resolutions adopted shall be manda-
tory and not discretionary so far as the
president is concerned.
After a stormy session, lastlrg all OF
Monday afternoon, the Republican mem
bers of the committee on foreign affairs
failed to reach any agreement. All
this discord is inevitable. However, the
presidents views and advice mast and
should largely Influence the final action
of congress. His wisdom, sagacity,
foresight and patriotism and manage
ment of affairs throughout deserve our
unstinted praise and admiration. Our
faith in him has not aud will not be
misplaced. AS patriots, though tried
our faith be as by fire, we must and
will believe in and follow VIM. McKin-
ley to the end.
81 Congressman Babcock, of this district
is quoted as saying, Intervention with
out recognition of independence is the
only course open to u.s."

DEATHS IN THE ARMY.
Killed in Battle, $50; Died in Camps, Over
1900.

Chicago, Ill, September 2.-The
Tribune to morrow will print stats.
tics showing the number OF soldiers
who have been killed in battle and
have died of disease in camps during
the war with Spain. The Tribune
saye:
"While $50 officers and men have
been killed in battle or died OF
wounds received, there have died of
disease in camps between 1900 and
1000 volunteers and regulars. The
Tribune has secured the names Of
1884 who died in camp, on trans
ports or at home after contracting
the dread malady at one OF the
camps There is no doubt about the
1884, whose names have been Sc
cured. Neither is there much doubt
that there are hundreds dead whose
names could not be secured on
account of lack of records and the
inability or unwillingness of army
officers to furnish lists of the dead.
The Tribune gives the following
statistics of dead in each camp,
giving in every instance full list oi
names and the nature of the disease
The list of camps is as follows:
Camp Thomas, 352; Santiago, 34l
San Francisco, rs, Camp Alger, IS
Camp Wikoff, 63; Jacksonville, so
Tampa, 58; Miami, 26; Fernandins
Lakeland, Camp Meade and Other
