Plans Could Not he Improved.

General Shaftcr said he considered
the expedition to have been as well fit
ted out as the time allowed would per-
nit. and that in looking back he had no
criticism Of his plans to make and would
not change them if the events had to be
gone through again. He said he had no
complaints of any sort to make and
would be loath TO iltrude them at this
time if he had. As to supplies General
Shafter said there was nothing essential
left behind.
':How,about the ambulauces?" asked
General Beaver.
LAS to those ambuiances." said Cen
eral Snafter, Il take the whole response
tility on myself l ordered and super.
vised their loading. After events
proved that it would have been better
to have taken
Ten or Fifteen Additional Alnbulances
and left that many wagons behind. but
wagons can be used for two purposes
and ambulances can be used for but
one. took the wagons and the
wounded had to be transported in them
after the first days fight. Ambulances
would have been better. but then hind.
sight is always better than foresight"
How about getting the supplies to
the front for the men:" asked General
Beaver.
ut was the one problem of the cam.
paign and it taxed US to the utmost,
said he. "If it had not been for the
pack train we could not have done il
and the expedition would have been a
failure"
Wounded Well Cared For.
AS to the care of the wounded Gen.
eral Shafter said they were cared for as
carefully as the circumstances would
permit.
"The doctors worked like Trojaps.
They worked until they were sick and
worn out. The doctors were mostly
young men. You can't get very old and
experienced surgeons to 90 on summer
campaign for 800 month. But they
were splendid fellows. Compared with
the Civil war the wounded were better
cared for in Cuba than they were then.''
The committee stated that General
Miles had communicated to the com.
mittee his unwil!ingness to volunteer
testimony. A message was accordingly
sent to the adjutart general directing
him to request the appearance of Gen.
eral Miles before the board.

The Latest War News.

The latest news before going to press is
that war is inevitable. The resolution
directing the President to forcibly enter
vene, stop the war in Cuba and establish
a stable government passed the house by 9
vote of 322 to 10, on Wednesday evening
1t probably passed the Senate on Thurs
day. The cable to Havana is interrupted
supposed to be CIT. The Spanish cabinet
has issued a notice stating that interyen
ton will not be tolerated. Spain, in case
the United States fail to declare was is al
most compelled to do so in order to pre-
vent civil revolution at home.
AS much as We deplore war and con
slider the declaration of war against spair
as uniustifiable and wicked, we believe
that the United States, in very few days
will be engaged in a war, the extent and
effects ofwhich we have now no concep'
ton.

WHAT DOES WAX MEAN?

Diyested of its glamour, what does
war mean? 1t means enriching the rici
and impovsrishing the poor II means
killing the strong, healthy, promising
Young men of the country; it means tear
ing the poor man from his happy an'
contented home; and converting his wii'
and dependent children into paupersi
means parting and tears, the rending c
,ovous associations and the wearing o.
widows, weeds.
When preachers of the gospel unit
with the unthinking rabble and, upoI
the least provocation, cry for war; 'ne.
only demonstrate the fact that the call
which they supposed came to them iron
a loving Savior, evidently came iron
another source. We wantno war. wal
is the first remedy of barbarians and the
last of Christians. There are othel
means of settling difficulties. A war
brought on by our meddling with th'
business of others is unrighteous, unholy
and devilish.

The President has evidently de-
termined to do everything in his
power to adjust the differences with
Spain, without war. Present in
dications, however, are that nothing
can be done unless it is done by
force. The Queen Regent may be
disposed to give up Cuba, but the
Spanish people are opposed to it and
she cannot yield without endangering
her throne. The President deserves
credit for his caution. A war can
be quickly started, but when it will
end and what powers may be drawn
into it cannot be foretold.

the right to assume such obligations.
The organization and constitution OF

The Presidents message IS ar
gumentatiye but does not meet the
expectations of a large class OF the
people of the United States. tie re-
commends to Congress the stopping
of the war, and asks that authority
be given the President to use the
army and navy for that purpose.
The recommendations are not as de-
finite as one would expect. There is
however, but one way of stopping
the war, if Spain should refuse to
withdraw her troops and that is to
drive her out of Cuba. To endeayor
to stop the war by trying to make
the Cubans stop fighting would be
an undertaking which would probably
be protracted for years.
The message, however, will give a
number of members of Congress the
opportunity to impose their senti-
ments upon the public in the shape OF
patriotic speeches.

President Mckinley evidently, Is
determined that the difficulty be-
tween Spain and the United States
shall be adjusted without war, lift Is
in his power to accomplish it. As
President ola people who knows the
horrors of war, his course is to be
commended. War settles nothin g
but superiority Of resources. In tins
age of boasted enlightenment, there
are other means of adjusting national
disputes.
In war, the United States has all to
lose and nothing to gain. The re-
sponsibility upon the man or men
who shall start war, the extent OF
of which cannot now be calculated, is
terrible.
