A HALT AT BRINK or WAR.
Both Nations Disposed to considrr Peace

Washington, March 1s.-The United

will gradually withdraw the North At

Behind all this Is what amounts to prac-

nand, except the hauling down Of her flag

States use its good offices to bring about
peace In the island.
Cuban independence the President con-
slders to be written in the book of fate,
and II the good offices Of the administra-
ton are used to bring about peace in Cuba
they will be used in this direction.
BY this agreement the United States
has Il Spanish Government in position
where further westward movement OF
the torpedo 1otilla could DO considered as
an act of war which would justify this
country interceI ting the 1otilla at sea
and thus prevent 1t ever reaching the
harbor Ct Havana.
The principal Victory the officials con.
slider, Is the decision Of Spain to stop her
fleet Mt the Canary Islands. From STRAIT
,eglcal point, this would seem to be big
gain for tho United States. The presence
of the Spanish torpedo 1otilla In Havana
harbor would make the task Of our naval
fleet much more serious aud dangerous

Senior Don Luis Polo de Bernabey Picon
tho Spanish minister, has made state
mentas TO what Spain might and might
not regard us u cause for war
Senior Polo was talking about the rela-
tions between his country and the United
States, and expressed the hope and belief
that war would not come. He was asked
whether Spain would regard the recogni-
ton of the indepe nd, nce Of the Cuban In
surgents as u casus beili.
Until the Spanish Minister spoke the
general impression was that the recogni-

conditions In which it might pass without
serious trouble.
Carrying out its part of the bargain, the
United States battleship Massachusetts
and Texas have been ordered to Hampton
Roads, and the remainder of the fleet will
probably be ordered North within the next
few weeks unless new conditions should
arise rs a result of the report of the Maine
Court of Inquiry. Spain has likewise held
to the bargain, and has retained at THO
