HOUSTON, MONDAY, ArnILa, 1898,
is TT THE EVE OF BATTLE.

Tho next forty.eight hours Will prove q
period OF Intense suspense not only In this
country, but throughout Europe as well
for In that time the question will be prac-
tically and. in all probability, definitely
settled whether the United States are to
!. have war with foreign powell
The Post has never advocated war for
tion of war by this country against Spain.
II has repeatedly insisted. however, that
the conditions In Cuba justified our recog-
milton of the insurgents and appealed to
us on the grounds OF humanity 10 say to
Spain that she must wage warfare on hui
name grounds aud not after the barbarous
methods OF the middle ages. II the Dons
saw lit under such circumstances to defy
us and 10 attempt to prevent us from ex-
tending complete succor to the starving
thousands In Cuba, then the consequences
would be urea SPANS head.
The almost unanimous conviction that
the Maine was destroyed by Spanish treach-
cry he's undoubtedly intensified the bitter
feeling In the United States and suggested
more prompt and determined action than
otherwise might have been deemed neccs-
sary.
Should Spain refuse at the last moment
TO llften to the voice Of reason and hui
mainly. and hostilites ensuc. the Ameri-
cars will go into the conflict feeling that
they have a dastardiy outrage againIt our
nag and citizenship to avenge. AZ well rs
noble mission OF humanity to slibservo.
We arc not so well prepared for war MS
we ought to have beln, but we are fully
able to hold our own until, If necessary. our
great resources ran be drawn upon /, Ia
not likely any European government will
actively back our antagonist hut even IN
that event we need not fear the ultimate
results. So resourceful brave aud wealthy
q people can not be conquered by any COM
bination Of circumstances. Let us hope
Spain viii see the hopelessncss of her
situation before 1t is too late. but II her
good sense is not forthcoming we can enter
the hght With serene confidence not only
in our strength, but in the justncss of
our cause.

These reflections are based on the theory
that some other nation might prove strong

blockade. No such results as a cessation Of
