THE Regular Army cannot probably
send more than $4,000 men to Cuba
possibly not more than II, 600 or l 1000.
The residue of the $4,000 or 100000
will have to be made up of volunteers.
The National Guard should have the
first show at this, and after them other
volunteers. Tens of thousands Of enter
prising young men will want to go, first
to do whatever service the Government
may require of them, and then to settle
down in the country and take advantage

THERE are four very excellent reasons
why the European powers will not take
concerted or separate action against
us:
i. They are persistent and incurably
Jealous of one another.
2. They know that Americans have
long memories, and sooner or later each
one of them will be called sharply to
account for her share in the trans
action.
3. Altogether, they are selling us
about 1000, 600, 900 worth of goods
annually, and no one of them wants to
offend her best customer.
4. Each one has troubles enough of
her own just now.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1898-04-21
WHAT WILL FOLLOW.

The President will probably sign the
Declaration of War this-Tuesday-
afternoon, and Immediately send his
-ultimatum to Spain, giving her not to
exceed As hours to answer. This will
bring a time when, for once in their
history, the shuffling, evasive methods of
the Spaniards will not avail.
There are but two things for them to
do
/. <Abjectly surrender, and agree to
withdraw at once from Cuba or,
2. To make show Of fighting, and
then surrender.
Either step is a terrible humiliation
to them, but one which their manifold
crimes have richly deserved.
The Pope and the powers are en-
deavoring to persuade them to take the
first. They may do it. The shame full
history of SPAIN abounds in instances
where naughty insolence has been fol-
lowed by craven surrender. Never
have they been.l confronted by such an
irresistible power as that which now
lays its hands upo 4 is sword-hilt.
If they decide to make show of
fighting in the vain hope of saving the
dynasty, the result, must be equally HUI
initiating. Any encounter with the
forces of a civilized power must reveal
such corruption and ineficiency in the
Spanish army or navy as will crush the
present dynasty under infinite odium.
The revelations will be incomparably
worse than those made by the debacle"
of Napoleon III.
Civil war in Spain must at once fol-
low. They are used to that, however.
They had probably score of them in
the last 80 years. Where "a people out
of every 100 are unable to read or write,
no improvement in conditions can be
aynactad
