ONE of the war Developments is
likely to prove quite embarrassing 10
the financial arguments which the sill.
yer men are preparing to trot out
again when the congressional cam.
paign opens. A natural inquiry as to
the method likely to be pursued in
raising funds lor war in the case of
necessity has brought out the fact
that there is more money in circula.
ton in the United States to day than
ever before in its history, the total
being 81, ,756,058, ,645. This shows an
increase of S246,0O0,0OO in the 81
months since the Chicago convention
declared that the money of the coun-
try could not materially increase
without the free coinage Of silver, a
develOpement which will be quite EN-.
barrassing to the people who are ex.
pecting to burnish up their campaign
arguments of 1896 for use in 1898. A
steady increase of the money in cir.
culatiou at the rate of nearly Sl2,.
OOO,00 per month has a somewhat
depressing effect upon the silver ar.
guments of of 1898.

tions with Representative Hull and other members of Congress, and 1t was decided to put the army organization bill through both houses on Monday under suspension of the rules.
 This bill makes the organization of the army elastic and provides for its increase to war footing of Io5,ooo.
 All the troops of the regular army east of the Rocky Mountains tonight are under arms waiting for orders to move to the Atlantic seaooard.
 General Miles desired that orders be issued for them to s,art tonight. Sec retary Alger thought this would be too alarming. This is the effect of conser- vatism in the Cabinet There is feel ing in army circles that the Secretary has made mistake.
 The corps of engineers of the army was to-day allotted $I ,ooo,o ,ooo more for coast defense It will be cheering news to the Atlantic coast cities to know the engineers report that work has pro ceeded with unexpected rapidity every where, and that sufficient material is at hand for mining ak the harbors. Some harbors have already been mined. Money is now being poured like water, and the effect of the contracts entered into when the $5o,ooo,ooo bill was passed is becoming apparent
 We are ready for war. Plans have been mapped out to provide ample means for prosecuting a prolonged and expensive campaign.
 Many of these details were discussed and put into form to-day by Secretary of the Treasury Gage and MT. Dingley, chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means. By 2 tax on tea,

his part, engaging to have it accept ed by the insurgents.
 Second-That the relief to the Gu hans should be administered directly by Americans.
 Both the first and the second of these propositions have been unac- ceptable to the Spanish Government, and to such a point that 1t would rather go to war with the United States than admit them.
 This is not the time when words can ease the mind. Nothing but ab- solute knowledge of the truth in its broadest form can be of use now. Let me tell you some of 1t derived from the very best sources.
 The fact, simply told, is that Spain will not tolerate any interference with her sovereign rights in Cuba, but will give way on any point which will bring peace without the loss of her national territory or dig nity.
 The purchase of Cuba, as repeated ly stated in these dispatches, is equally out of the question. It does not appear to be quite understood in the United States that of late the sentiment that America absolutely intends to force a war upon Spain has been fixed in the mind of nine out of ten of the governing class. In the Cabinet to-day, I have reason to believe, Senor Moret is the only out and out advocate of peace, and to- day he is only so on the principles above stated.
 Spain is deeply desirous of the cessation of hostilities in Cuba at once, but at moment when she con- siders she has got the rebellion we'll in hand she cannot ask for an armis- tice, but would accept an armistice if the request came from the insur- gents, and she knows the United States could bring that about if the United States wished.
 Spain thinks-and am giving you the strictly Spanish side-it would be an insult to the entire army

coffee and beer $Ioo,ooo. 900 additional revenue can be had An issue of the treasury certificates of indebtedness is contemplated for providing another | $Ioo, 100000. If more than that is needed bond issue may be suggested which would ~rovide just as many mil lions as the emergency might cal. for.
 There will be no trouble about get ting all the money needed for aveng- ing the Maine and settling the Gu ban question once for all.
 The policy will be to get from our revenues enough to pay as we go from the start. The question now arises. how will war come? The President will send his message to Congress on We'd nesday. It will contain all the Cuban correspondence and will discuss fully the Cuban question. It is said that all forecasts as to what the President will do are purely speculative He does not even know himself 1 get this from friends who have been in long and ear nest consultation with him to-day.
 There is little doubt, however, that the Presidents message and the sub sequent action of Congress will be equivalent to declaration of war.
 That may be the only answer that the United States will send to Spain.
 The Maine question continues to the front The representations of the United States regarding the blowing up of the battle-ship by an outside exnlosion hay ing been contemptuously ignored, all Congress Is afame. An end of Spanish rule in Cuba is demanded for the de- struction of the ship.

Spain is quite will. ing that the government relief from the United States shall be distribut- ed to the reconcentrados, but not in- dependently of Spanish authority. It may be fact disagreeable to digest, but the Spanish Government looks with the utmost suspicion upon the intentions of the United States on this matter, and this is rather strengthened by the recent discovery that contraband articles are among the consignments of relief stores sent to Cuba. Further, this would be looked upon as American interven- tion by the insurgents, and that Spain at all risks will combat. These are the stumbling blocks which, at present stop the way.
 There are those who would go to war with the United States out of sheer hatred of her and her ways of .bullying Spain" They are many. There are those who would go to war because they see in 1t the quickest

Relations to-day decided to make the Maine question the central feature of the report which it will make.
 The committee will report a resolu- ton in which Spain's culpability will be exhibited much more -ominently than was done by the published testimony or by the findings of the court of in quiry.
 In addition to this the committee will bring forth the Foraker resolution, which declares Cuba free. denounces the inhumanities of Cuban war and recom- mends intervention by the United States with its army and navy for the purpose of expelling Spain from Cuba. It is not believed there will be minority re- port from the committee.
 Diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Spain have ceased.
 They have not been formally severed. President McKinley's message to Con- gress on Wednesday next will be- so to speak, an ultimatum to Spain. Then will come, doubtless, the formal ending of our diplomatic relations with the Spanish Government and the with drawal of our Minister and Consu1s

Illicit Liquor Traffic
To the Editor Of the Star.

To the Editor Of the Star.
| wish to call the attention Of
the United States officers in
Ocala and the public generally to
a business that is carried on quite
extensively in this fair and SEEM
ingly moral vicinity of Blitchton.
That is, the illicit diStilling and
selling of moonshine liquor, which
is conducted in open defiance of
the law and without any preten-
tons to secrecy. Two dozen or
more men within a radius Of three
miles square Of Blitchton post
office, are daily and nightly en-
gagged in the nefarious business,
and some of the prominent citi-
zens of this community are SEEM
ingly cognizant of the fact;
whether they approve and djsap-
prove of it, | don't know. But it
is to be presumed that they would
like to condemn it and would be
glad to see the business stopped
and the guilty parties prosecuted
to the full extent of the law, but
for fear of making enen les and
incuring the i'll will of some dam
gerous characters, they naturally
refrain from doing what they
know to be their sacred duty to
themselves and to their wives
and children. Now, Mr.. Editor,
[ would like to ask you whose
duty it is to look after this viola
ton of the law. Is it the duty of
the U. S. Deputy Marshal exclu-
sively, Or is the duty equally OBJ
ligatory upon both, he and our
county officers: 1t occurs to me
that both are responsible, as it
is violation of the state as we'll
as the federal laws. If it is the
duty of both, then our officers are
either ignorant on this matter or
very delinquent in the perform
ance of their sworn duty, and l
don't see how it could be ignor-
ance on their part, as some of it
is made close enough to the Off
GERS for them to smell it. 1t is
to be hoped that the citizens and
officers will cooperate in sup
pressing this illegal and democrat
ling business. Yours for good
government and the suppression
of moonshine liquor. CITIZEN.
