PROTECT THE PACIFIC COAST.
The Big Battleshfp Oregon Will Not
BE Taken From Western Waters.

New York. March lit has been de-
cided by the navy department to keep on
the Pacific coast the full force of naval
vessels now there, says the Washington
correspondent Of the Herald. Navy de-
partment officials recognize the fact that
the strength of the North Atlantic squad
ron would be strengthened by attaching
the battleship Oregon to Rear Admiral
Sicard's command, but they appreciate the
danger of leaving the Pacific coast with
out assistance of this class, just as they
appreciate the Importance of defending
the ports by vessels Of the monitor type.
There are now stationed on the Pacific
coast the Oregon, the coast defense YES
sells Monterey and Monadnock, and the
training ship Adams. The Oregon, which
is at Puget sound, will be ordered to pro-
ceed to San Francisco harbor, and her
place in northern waters will probably be
taken by the Monterey. The department
recently directed the Monadnock to be
laid in reserve, but these orders have not
been carried out and she will probably be
sent to San Diego.
Besides these ships, the department has
at Honolulu the cruiser Baltimore and
the gunboat Bennington. No orders have
been issued for the return of these vessels
in view of the aspirations of the admins
tration to bring these islands within Amer
lean Jurisdiction. The cruiser Alert and
the gunboat Marietta are in Nicaraguan
and Guatemalan waters respectively.
These ships will be ordered to San Fran
cisco if an emergency arises and will hold
themselves in readiness for active service.

M'KINLEY'S POLICY DEFENDED.
Will Not Accelerate War. hut ls
Preparing for Any Emergency.

Chicago. Feb. 25.--The Tribune prints
the following special from Washington:
Il do not propose to do anything at all
to accelerate war with Spain. Up to the
present do not think war is either nee
essary or inevitable. | would be lax i'll
my duty. however. if / did not prepare
fer the future. The situation is grave
and the policy of the administration will
be determined almost entirely by the
course of events from time to time. There
is no necessity of alarming the people, but
congress must be ready to assist the ad
ministration without making too many
inquiries as to the course Of current
events
TO senator who called upon him in
order to ask some serious questions as to
the policy of the administration, President
Mckinley, with the utmost frankness,
uttered the above words. There is no
doubt of the fact that the government of
for war with Spain. 1t is not necessary
that war will follow but the activity is
too unmistakeable to be concealed.
The president and his cabinet unite in
the belief still, in spite of all evidence to
the contrary, that the explosion of the
Maine was the result of an unfortunate
accident. but they recognize the fact that
the contrary may prove true, at almost
any hour, and that if it is shown, even in
ferentially, that Spain had hand i'll the
catastrophe. there will be but one thing
to do, and that will be to seize the island
of Cuba by force of arms.
At no time since the war of the rebel
lion has the military branch of the gov
ernment been so active as it is today.
1t is a significant fact that within the
last two days there has been remarkable
change OF opinion in the navy depart
ment in regard to the explosion OF the
Maine When the first news arrived here
last week. experts at the department were
nearly divided as between an accident and
design. But today, after studying the
later reports, and especially photographs
sent from Havana. nine out of ten of the
officers of the department express the be,
lief that the Maine was anchored over a
s,,bma ,ne mine

THINKS WAR rs INEVITABLE.
Views OF the Partisan Papers on the
Strained Relations.

Paris. Feb. 2S-The Temps says of the
Maine disaster: THE facts so far pointed
out lead to the theory of a submarine
mine but there is also this argument i'll
support of this being due to design. that
the federal government would have un-
doubtedly spoken out at once if the sup
position of accident had been confirmed.
If such is the case. President Mckinley
will have great difficulty in preventing 4
conflict"
La Patrie thinks war is On the point Of
breaking out between Spain and the Unit
ed States. but advises the latter to think
twice before engaging in Il conflict. Spain $
army and navy. it says, is composed CT
seasoned and tried men. whereas this quail
ity is absent in the forces at the disposal
of the United States. The American fleet
is organized for defensive war. As far the
American army, it is still TO be brought
into existence.
The Echo de Paris expresses hope chat
European statesmen will be found to in
tervene with the view to the maintenance
of peace between the United States and
Spain Continuing, the paper says it re
CARDS the dissolution of the Spanish cortes
as an encouraging symptom.
