The war in Cuba must end. That is
probably the resolution of President Nc
Kinley, and 1t is certainly the resolution
of Congress. II Spain does not stop it
by withdrawing her troops, it is as GER
tain as anything in the future can be
that our Congress Will, if the army and
navy of the United States are sufficient
unto that end. 1t is little use now TO
consider how this condition has bean
brought about. There can be little ques-
tion that the sentiment for intervention
dominates the West and the South, that
it controls large majority of the MEN,
bers of both houses of Congress, and that
sooner or later it will have it's way. Ap-
parently the more it is repressed the
strouQer it becomes and the more radical
will be its action when 1t breaks loose.
1t hardly admits of the possibility of doubt
that unless Spain ends the war by con-
ceding independence to Cuba tie United
States Will be involved in the near future
in a struggle with her. Much as it is to
be regretted that things have come to this

mar3l Qlbt
The Portland daily press., 1898-04-01

A few Gays ago in speech in Boston
Gov. Powers complained loudly of the
defenceless condition of our seacoast In
case of war. Last week the general gov
ernment determined to send monitor to
this coast, on the strength Of representa-
tions made to the Navy Department by
several of our congressman, among them
Senator Hale and Speaker Reed. This
decision was hailed with general satisfac-
tion. The only condition was that the
State should furnish the men to man her.
and this condition was in fair way to
be met by many patriotic young men OF
this city without any considerable ex
pense to the State, when Adjutant
General Richards appeared upon the
scene, and began to discover great
many lions in the path. He even went
30 far as to intimate that he was going
10 request the general government not
TO send monitor here at ALL This, GER
tainIy, is rather curious position for
she Governors adiutant to take right on
top of the Governors public complaint,
presumably directed against the general
government, that our coast had been left
unprotected. One would suppose that an
effort to supply that defect would
be hailed with satisfaction, instead of
scrutinized with microscope in search
of technicalities by which it might be de-
feated.

We imagine that if the entire RESPONSE
bility of decision that might plunge
his country into war were placed upon
ny one of the members of the Senate OF
House who are elamoring SO loudly for
haste, he would hesitate good while. Tc
shout with hundred Others for war is
aasy enough, for then the responsibility
is divided up into small fractions and
upon no one rests very heavy burden,
but to be the one upon whose decision the
result entirely depends has very sober
ing effect. Many of the Jingoes who are
impatient at what they call President
McKinley's slowness would be much
slower if put in his place Even Billy
Mason, we suspect, would declare wal
much less Jauutily if declaration from
him would put ships and armies in
motion.

at Nauplia, he finds that the latter .
son, MiUsos, has reached young manhood,
and singles him out as fit worker for
the cause. In the course of one of his
sails upon the bay, Mitsos becomes ac-
quainted with young Greek girl who
has been stolen when child, and is now
the inmate of a Turkish harem which
overlooks the water. Their intimacy has
just time to ripen into love when Mitsos
receives the summons to join Vidalis.
Very shortly beacon fires carry the signal
for uprising from south to north of the
Peloponnesus. The Turkish detachments.
which occupy the small towns are either
slaughtered or driven in on Tripoli, which
becomes the theatre of the final conflict.
Among the refugees who have sought
shelter there is the Turk with the Greek
girl in his train. The Greeks draw close
the lines of beleaguer and starvation re-
duces the city. But the rivalry between
the Church party. headed by the bishop,
and the military commanders of the Greek
forces almost ruins the success of the en-
terprise. However, Vidalis finally sur
mounts it, and Tripoli is taken amid
scenes of horror. With the winning of
Greek independence comes the release OF
the Greek girl and a happy ending to the
Iove-story, which has wound its way
through the scenes of intrigue, carnage,
and adventure. The twenty-one illustra-
tions assist the alternate poetry and ao-
tion of the story.

Backwoods People Who Begin te
 Doubt That War Exists.

Reading, Pa, July 9.-A travelling man who visits many of the out-of- the-way mountainous districts of east Pennsylvania says:
 'I was surprised to meet so many people who are absolutely indifferent about the war. They know very lit tle, if anything, about the trouble with Spain. Some doubt whether there is really a war at all. I spoke to a far mer who has a good estate under, cul' tivation. He had just finished putting away about thirty tons of good hay. Said he: I stopped reading war news some time ago I made up my mind there was no war. I read one thing one day which was contradicted the next, so I stopped reading any paper and have been making hay ever since No, am not a bit interested. I know of no one who has enlisted from our section, and if the United States is fighting Spain for Cuba I know nolh- ing of it I'll wait awhile and see.
