OUR TROUBLE WITH SPAIN,

\ summary of the most recent news
in regard to our trouble with Spain is
as follows:
The war preparations being made
by the United States, the assembling
Of ships at Key West, the purchase OF
cruisers abroad and the emergency
measures in the War and Navy De
partments have come to the official at
tenton of the Spanish government,
and the views of the Spanish cabinet
thereon have been communicated to
the State Department. This has not
taken the form OF protest however, as
it does not appear that the Spanish
government claim or assert the right
to question such internal measures as
the United States may adopt, even
though they be OF a character tn Ind.-
cate preparations for war.
1t is rather by way Of representa-
tons, conveyed i'll Il friendly spirit and
without threat. as to the serious intlu-
ences which these preparations will
have in encouraging the Cuban lnsur-
gents at the moment when the autOno-
my plan is to have its crucial trial
through the Cuban elections, and in
this way defeat the reforms Premier
Saoasta is seeking to carry out.
The dispatch boat Fern has been or
tlered to Havana to take the place Of
the Montgomery. which will 90 to Key
West.
The United States naval court of i'll
ouirv held no session Wednesday. but
remained at Key West.
The impartial. of Madrid, denounceS
uLGeneral Lee and inquiries why
Spain does not take steps to have him
recalled.
4 semi-otlicial statement has been
issued IN Madrid to the effect that it is
useless to discuss the sale Of Cuba.
Frederick BerndeZ. Austrian consul
at Havana, is being lionizcd by loyalist
Spaniarls because he contributed
largely to the fund to buy a battle ship
for Spain.
\ Washington special to the New
York Herald Wednesday says: | learn
tonight the principal reasons for the
Presidents optimistic views regarding
the existing situation. On account of
pressure to be brought upon Spain by
European financiers and others who
control her purse strings and our gen
e,al state of preparedness to meet war,
he believes that Spain will find Il WI
to comply with our demands, both as
regards the Maine disaster and the gen
cral Cuban question. lie admits, how
ever. that there are ugly times ahead.
and that many war scares are likely.
even if hostilitics in the end can he
avoided. The coming week will be an
eventful one | understand that the
report OF the court of inquiry will be in
the hands Of the President on Satur-
day. Anticipating that the findings
will clearly show that an outside eNplo-
sion caused the disaster. the President
has already made up his mind what
kind of Il demand he will make upon
Spain. and will, therefore. lose no time
in formulating his note 10 the Spanish
government.

UMORS OF BUYING CUBA

y Washington special to the New York
Herald on Monday says: In Il night and a
day great change has come over the stu
alton as it is viewed at the White House.
No one could talk with the President to-
day without noticing that. The air speed
lily became surcharged with peace talk
emanatng from the Executive Mansion.
President Mckinley as recently as Sat
urday was deeply impressed with the
gravity of the situation, but he said to
several persons who talked with him to-
day: Il do not expect war | believe
this whole matter can he settled diplomatic
cally.'
The changed atmosphere from gravity
to gaiety once more is due to revival of
the purchase proposition in Il new form
If the insurgents are willing that their
free dom should be bought for them what
difference should it make whether the pur-
chase is conducted with the United States
or some other agency:
Understand that the suggestion now is
W nav L Il eltttt ~ luiIdlC VI Ailitlltdu anu
European capitalists organized for the
purpose of purchasing Cuba. This is the
biggest news development since the first
purchase proposition was killed last week.
The financial interests of the world do not
want war. They do not believe it is nee
essary, Probably the leading reason lies
in the condition of the Spanish national
debt.
Men who control the finances of the
world believe they can not only end the
war in Cuba but prevent war between
the United States and Spain by settling
the Cuban question with money and guar
antceing the Cuban war debt of Spain.
This | understand is the propositio on.
How far the negotiations have gone | am
unable to say. Nor do | know whether
either the Spanish government or the Gu
ban leaders have signitied willingness even
to consider the plan.

WHERE THE $50, OOO, 900 CAM
FROM.

The ST, 900, 900 just appropriated to put
the country III Il posture of defense is
part of the money borrowed by President
Cleveland to maintain the public credit
He obtained it by an issue of bonds, and
but for the Issue of bonds the $50, 000, 900
would not be on hand. 1t is not part of
any ''surplus" or of accumulated revenue
ur anything of that sort. 1t is simply Il
remnant of the 100000 900 of gold Mr.
Cleveland borrowed to strengthen the
dwindling gold reserve. That money has
helped-along with the cash received for
the Union Pacitic-to run the govern
ment in spite of annual deficits, and it is
deceiving the public to call tia surplus"
Yet Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations, used this
language in proposing to appropriate the
$50, 0OO, O30:
Now, Il word in conclusion. We have
got the money in the treasury to meet
this appropriation if it is expended, and
that too, without reSorting, in our opinion
to further taxation. Therefore, there
is no coupling with this PROPOSE
ton that would probably be made in
most countries in the world under similar
circumstances-to levy additional taxes
to meet the expenditure. say again, WE
are satisfied that revenue laws will
afford sufficient money to meet this eX-
penditure of the government
This was hardly sincere. Mr.. Cannon
knows that existing taxing laws do not
provide revenue enough to meet cxpendi-
lures, and he ought to know that they
will not produce Il surplus of $50,000 900
for Il long time to come. New taxes, in
view of this fact, would have been pro-
yided in the bill making the appropria-
ton had Mr. Cannon followed the COM
nonsense rule observed in most coun
tries under similar circumstances" Since
June 80 last the revenue has fallen
$52 ,2254 ,6l1 short of expenditure. If rev.
enuc does not soon increase OF eXpendi-
lures diminish we shall soon be borrow
ing money for ordinary expenses. Con-
gress should pass Il vote of thanks to Mr.
Cleveland for giving it the $4,000, 900
which is so 'handy" just now.-H"'imore

The old paradox of setting the river
on fire may be accomplished if war
should occur between this country and
another and if certain plans now said to
be forming for defense of Philadelphia
are carried into execution. This project
is to sink pipes to the bottom of the Della
ware bay or river, sufficiently below the
city to guard against Ion" distance bonn
bardmcnt. and on the approach of an
enemv'S fleet to force petroleum through
them and from holes in them into the
water. This oil would naturally rise to
the surface, and on being ignited by the
Guards would blaze ticrccly. 1t is cstimat
ed that no warsLip could pass through
such IA flame The heat of the burning
oil W hich would probably send flames
higher than the military mastS of the
vessels, would not only destroy life on
board. but would destroy the vessels
themselves if they remained long enough
in the range of the burning oil.
