Daily it becomes more and more cer-
tain that the next military or naval
disaster which happens to the Spanish
arms will mark the end of the Alton
s,st dynasty in Spain and place Don
Carlos on what is left of the throne of
his ancestors. The ignorant, but very
hungry, masses of the kingdom have
been coached by agitators to look to
him for a relief from their misery. The
fall of Havana and San Juan is most
likely to make a king of him, but ii
Will not help him to fill a bankrupt
treasury nor to give employment and
bread to the suffering proletariat of the
realm.
In any case. then. another SERIOUS

will precipitate anarchy. Such a pros
pective condition warns US to make
haste and place ourselves in a posit on
to make peace on the basis of posses
sion of the Spanish Antilles, the Philip
pines and the Canaries, without any
increased by the outbreak of disturb
ances in Italy, which are rapidly as
suming the form of organized revolu-
tion against the Italian dynasty. 1t
is true that bread" is the osten-
sible cause of the trouble; but one must
remember that when bread is plenty
in Europe thrones do not tremble.
while, when it is scarce and dear, they
shake like an elephant with the chills
and fever.
Since America is the controlling fac
tor in the food supply of Europe. Rus
sia excepted. and the high price of
breadstuffs is attributed to our war
with Spain it is plain that the interest
of the continental governments in
bringing about peace is a very great
one. Revolutionary uprisings. such as
are occurring in italy, are perniciously
infectious. as history proves and the
existing conditions in that country and
Spain are causing dismay in many
places. notably at the court of Vienna
The heterogeneous mass over which
Franz Joseph reigns is not TO be trust
ed not to break the peace under all cir
cumstances. Austria Hungary has
been rent with revolution within the
memory of living men, and ii might be
again.
As a direct result of the prevailing
situation in Southern Europe. We may
look for an active movement among
the continental powers before long to
bring the American-Spanish war to a
close. 1t. theN,fore. behooves us to
anticipate any such attempted action
by ending it ourselves in such a way
that there will be no questions of Span
ish cOloniss sovereignty left to discuss.
We must be in a position to dictate
terms absolutely on the basis of Spain's
surrender of all pretense of outside. pos
session and her future confinement to
the Iberian peninsula.
That will take sharp work, and the
employment of many men and guns,
but it is the opportunity and duty of
the hour, and We sincerely hope that
the Government appreciates the fact

1t seems to be generally believed In
Europe that the Bank of France has ad-
vanced $2O.OOo.OOo to the Spanish gov

this was out of compliment to us for
allowing the La Fayette to violate the
blockade of Havana. and to carry In mu-
nitions Of war to Bianco. Our "sister
