SIR CHARLES dixie.

New York, March "a World dispatch
from London says:
II cant see how war between the unl-
ted States and Spain can be avoided,
said Sir Charles Dixie to the World cor
respondent last night. ut is impossible
to express opinions on such meager de-
tails Of the findings OF the Maine court OF
inquiry as have btgr ned here, but
affairs have come To such pass with
Spain that she may welcome war as the
best means OF getting rid of cuba. 1t has
become such milestone around her neck
that she must free herself from it some
how and to the proud spaniard war
would be the least disagreeable way /
don't think mediation by any European
power is likely Mediation could only
proceed ON the basis of some species OF
autonomy and to any further attempted
solution in that direction the Cubans will
not assent 1t has been evident for the
last Is months that Spain can never by
any system Of autonomy or by force OF
arms regain control of cuba But Spain
won't give 1t up without lighting.
Neither country has fleet large
enough to enable It to obtain decisive
command of the sea within short pc
riod Therefore It is difficult to forecast
the duration of hostilities. / could speak
more definitely If | knew how soon the
United States could complete the war
ships she is building, for they would ex-
ercise a decisive Influence"

that the relations with the United States
are less strained. the American congress
had deferred discussion OF the Maine re-
pert ana tue larger Cuban questions un-
an thOe matters may be- further con-
sidercd automatically to see II It is not
possible to reach an understanding The
Spanish naval officer bearing the text ana
translation OF the report of the Spanish
commission Of inquiry into the Maine
loss cannot reach Washington before
Thursday, therefore Minister Gullon has
cabled extensive extracts OF the report TO
Minister Bernabe at Washington with in

United States Minister Woodford has

to place the whole cuban question with

had long talk with senor Gullon ana
agreed to call ON him for an interview al

made to declare them null and void.
Chief Justice Fuller rendered the opln-
ION of the court, in which he held that
the bonds were not necessary invalid,
although the levee board when exercis-
ing authority under the state of Miss
issippi had 10 right to put in the gold
clause. because the law does not permit
any discrimination between the different
classes of money issued by the govern
ment of the United States. and that it
would be lawful for tae board to redeem
the bonds IN any form of legal tender.
Justices peckham, Brown aud White

effect was that the court had no luris-
dlctlon: that the issue was not a federal
question. and that the states can regu.
