MANY MORE SHIPS.

With the breaking out of hostilities
between this country and Spain among
the first things that Will happen will be
the transference of all ocean-wise mails
to foreign bottoms. An American line
holds the contract for carrying the Eu-
ropean mails, but all the vessels Of
these lines have been Professionally
purchased for auxiliary cruisers, and
they would be Immediately fitted for
naval duty. 1t now looks as though
the United States navy would, in
month or two, be the most monstrous
thing in that line afloat, if not the big
gest and most effective. If war begins
while the American ships are on the
ocean and they should be captured,
the Spaniards, while they might con-
fscate vessel and cargo, would have
to forward the mail. Each member
antee non-interference with the tran
sit of mail, and should Spain violate
this agreement by destroying any mail
that might be captured on one of our
transatlantic liners, she would be
responsible to every European nation.
OF course a war with Spain would cut
off all official communication between
that country and the United States.
The stoppage of mail carrying to Spain
would be a matter of little moment,
however, as the quantity of mail mat
ter sent to that country each year from
the United States is very small. Last
year it amounted to but 5000 pounds,
while more than 100000 pounds were
sent to other European countries.

MONDAY AND MONDAY.

Another day and still the whole
country stands in suspense, waiting
for the supreme thing, for the final de-
cision, Of war or peace. The Monday
of two weeks ago was to have wit
messed the rise or fall Of the curtain.
Again last week President Mckinley
asked congress TO wait until another
Monday. And now still an additional
week is wanted, later Monday named
Spain In the mean time must be get
ting ready to acknowledge the indie
pendence of Cuba and to evacuate. or
otherwise she is preparing for the life
and death struggle with every mo-
ment of delay Of inestimabIe value.
That these delays have offended MANY
friends of the administration there is
little doubt, but the offense is not of
such character as will not readily
disappear if in after lights it is seen
that the president, with his greater
knowledge, was right. Those who
know the man the most Intimately are
convinced that the hesitation is only
apparent not real. Mckinley is a
grim patriot and a determined fighter.
man in whose record can be found
few defeats and no retreats. He is
like Lincoln, a go forward" kind Of
man. The country, as voiced by con-
gress and the newspapers. is wild for
war, but at heart is no more resolved

The country is not wild for war at all

ten years, in fact, but the better the
preparation the briefer the conflict.

PAPAL MEDIATION.

There is a good deal of talk about
possible Papal mediation. The truth is
Spain is an intensely Catholic country,
and what the Roman prelate says goes
farther than the word of any ruler in
Madrid, than that of the queen regent
or her ministers. It is equally true
that the average American is against
any mixing of church and state. Re-
ngion and politics do not hitch even in
the same congregation, Of whatever
denomination. One of the fundament-
al principles of this country is that
the church shall have no political
voice or sway SO nothing that the
Pope can do can directly affect the
people of this country, in the direction
of influencing them. The people of the
United States would not brook any in
reference from the outside, whether
of church or state. They would hard
Iy listen to friendly advice. But the
Pope has great power with the gov
eminent of Spain, through its people,
and his mediation with Spain and
Cuba, or his advice to Spain that their
Cuban cause is a lost cause, would
prove of widespread effect. While the
United States would not listen to the
Pope, nor probably be Influenced by
any other mediation, it might still be
directly saved from war by such Papal
mediation. The Pope's declaration to
Spain to the effect that for the sake
of humanity hostilities should cease,
that the war waged by them in Cuba
Is un-Christian and so horrible as TO
meet with Heavens condemnation and
the worlds protest, would in all prob
ability so tie the hands of that power
that it could make no further effective
move. A government is pOwerless,
whether monarchy or republic, that
does not command the confidence and
patriotic sympathy of its people. With
the people of Spain the Pope is more
than Madrid and its queen regent and
infant king. Such mediation or advice
by the Pope would, moreover, cOnsti-
tute a valid excuse from Withdrawing
from Cuba and giving it over to a gov
eminent Of its own people, for the
Carlists and Weylerites, no less than
the ruling house Of that country, are
all alike Catholics, who hold to the
right Of temporal power for the head
of the Catholic church.
President Mckinley, congress nor the
people of the United States will for one
moment listen to any offers of foreign
mediation, no matter from or by whom
or what It's character. We went into
this thing from the highest considera- |
tons and most unselfsh of purposes |
and we are asking neither advice, SYM
pathy or aid from interested or disin- |
terested sources.

NO COAL. NO STEAM.

If coal is contraband under interna-
tional law, what is Spain going to do
for steam? The Geneva commission
held that the mere sale of coal to a
belligerent is not a breach of neutrality,
but where is the neutral power on this
hemisphere that will have any coal TO
sell? That same commission decided
that it is a breach of neutrality to reg
ularly supply coal to a belligerent or
for a neutral power to maintain a reg
ular coal station for such purpose. Ha-
vana will be blockaded the very first
thing. For Canada to undertake the
speculation would lead to trouble be-
tween this government and Great Brit
ain. The United States laid in a sup
ply of $500 tons as soon as hostilities
were threatened. And there is no end
to further supply. If this country
should fail to maintain an effective
blockade of the port of Havana, her
soldiers will be overrunning the island
of Cuba, and who will permit neither
the mining or shipping of coal for
Spanish war vessels. If Spain attempts
the shipment of coal from Europe her
coal ships will be intercepted by United
States cruisers and sunk mid-ocean.
Great Britain, even if authorized by
law to sell coal to Spain.
will hesitate to do it and for obvious
reasons. Coal. next to money, will be a
Spanish necessity in the event of war.

cious stuff to be added to the currency

and the summers little better, and
mining operations are prosecuted un-

conveniences of invention will be
