A consciousness of responsibility

that will tend to keep a man up to his

UNPREPARED FOR WAR.

Congress Will Be Confronted With the Re-
suits of Its Own Neglect and Incapacity.
Chicago, April "A special from
tor Mcmillan as saying:
THE President is 1atfooted on the
proposition that Spain must move out
bodily. He also knows absolutely that
Spain cannot, or at least will not, con-
sent to this complete abandonment.
That means war. The President square
iy faces that fact. He is not ready.
He recognizes certain serious unpre-
paredness. Mckinley feels he would
be guilty of great negligence if the
deficiencies be not made good before
we are plunged into war. Had he not
felt SO matters would have been adj
vanced to a point where the United
States could have stopped the coming

til the President was compelled to
change his mind by circumstances since
last night, he intended to follow with
the ultimatum soon after the cabinet
meeting to-day. On Monday or Tues
day he will submit a history of all
steps, as | understand it, and will rec
ommend the recognition of independ-
ence This will lead to war, but not
necessarily at once. The President
may ask that he be permitted to con-
duct further negotiations on these
lines. 1t will be plain to all that these
negotiations can only lead to war, but
the men who will advocate that the
President be permitted to continue his
correspondence with Spain will make
it plain that a little delay is good
thing for us as we'll as Spain. 1t per-
haps may not be an open confession
of unpreparedness from these members,
but their position on the fighting
committees, together with their well
known sympathy for Cuba, will be
sufficiently significant to make the
House pause.
In discussing this phase of the mat
ter, the Senator quoted statements of
cabinet ministers freely, and said even
the war-like Gen. Alger was compelled
to admit the force Of it. He said this
would never have been made public,
