Madrid, March Accommodating on
the probabilities of war with the Unit
ed States Ell impartial says:
1T is indispensable to get ready all
the elements we possess for a naval
fight. and it is urgent that the feet

1.-THE United States will maintain the
advantage If they can place seven IRON
clads in front Of the Vizcaya and the
Almirante Oquendo, but when our two
ships actually have to fight this disad-
vantage will disappear before the skill
and courage of our sailors"
The semi-official Ell Globo says:
AT time when the duration of the
war in Cuba is being brought to a
close by force OF arms, and when peace
is being restored by means OF autono-
my, the United States throws down the
mask which hid her ambition. In
whose name are they going to establish
intervention. and In the cause of what
save that of revolutionary bandits? II
the United States will put light to the

long. this is an inopportune time TO do

DESPERATE STRUGGLE
Between Ex-Auditor Johns and a Robbsr
on the Highway.

Between Ex-Auditor Johns and a Robbsr
on the Highway.
Noblesville, Ind, March 26.-While
ex-Auditor Taylor John was on his way
home a masked assaiiant jumped from
behind a telegraph pole and, pointing
a revolver at him, commanded him to
throw up his hands, Johns grappled
with the robber and a desperate strug-
gle ensued. Many blows we're struck,
but neither gained an advantage, ex-
cept that John prevented the stranger
from firing his weapon.
When they fell to the ground the re-
volver was discharged, the ball strik-
ing Johns ankle and shattering the
bones. He still fought desperately,
and succeeded in getting possession of
the revolver, when the highwayman
made hasty retreat. Johns injury is
of a nature that necessitates the am
putation Of his foot.

Washington, March 20. = President
Mckinley is firmly determined to end
the Cuban warm peaceable way II
possible, by force If necessary. Spain
realizes this, and has asked the United
States to secure an armistice with the
Cubans to allow her reasonable time to
come to an understanding.
1t can be stated upon high authority
that there has been noabatement of the
presidents intention to see that the
war is terminated upon terms that will
render the Cubans practically a free
people. 1t is not believed that they
will accept anything less. nor that
Americans will be satisfied II we should
encourage settlement that would not
be acceptable to the Cubans.
II there should now be an armistice
1t would be with the concession made
by Spain, at the instance of this coun-
try, that negotiations should be opened
Immediately with the insurgents look
ing to the establishment of a perma-
nent peace upon these terms.
1t has long been the hope of the ad-
mlnistration to bring Spain to the point
of making propositions of this charac-
ter as the basis of settlement most
satisfactory to all parties, and 1t is
hoped from SPANS attitude that this
tims has arrived.
The friends of the administration feel
that the situation is very delicate
one and that much will depend upon
the course congress may pursue. In the
meantime the president will on We'd
nesday send his message asking that
an appropriation be made for the aid
of the destitute Cubans.
