THE DANISH WEST INDIES.

a report was published the other
day, and then promptly contradlcted'
that the United States had bought
three West Indian islands from Dem
mark. This Is something that has been
the subject of discussion for about
thirty years without any conclusion
being arrived at. A couple of years
ago a correspondent Of prominent
Danish Journal visited Washington and
succeeded in Interesting some senators
and congressman in the matter. With
out being In any way authorized to
speak for the Danish government, he
gave II MS his Wow that the islands
in question. 81 Thomas, St Croix and
st. John, could be bought for nom
inal price. Senator Lodge prepared a
measure looking to the acquisition Of
this territory. but falling to receive
support to any great extent, the meas
ure did not pass.
There is no doubt that the Danish
government would be willing to dispose
Of these West Indian possessions. as
their value TO the country Is compare
lively small. To the United States
they would be Of considerable value.
As our navy is growing. the need of
convenient coallng stations becomes
more urgent. 1t becomes necessary to
provide for ports for the convenience
Of our commercial interests. but 1t is
not probable that the islands in ques-
tlon can he secured FOR mere song.
Old King Christian and his advisers
have a keen eye to business, and they
know that the United States is not GO
Ing to buy unless the islands are really
needed, which means that high price
can be insisted on.
Probably the time for negotiations
IL now favorable. England has hlther-
to objected TO the transfer. but she does
so no longer, and the possible objec-
lions OF other European governments
would not he Of any consequence. The
purchase of the Danish islands would

WAR NOT YET.

The new feature of the war situa-
ing hand in the game. Germany 1t
seems has something for which an
indemnity can be demanded from
Spain and therefore contemplates
sending q cruiser to Havana to seize
that port. The immediate effect of
man territory and an attack on the
place might be considered q casus belil
by Germany. And as the German
emperor recently solomnly declared
that the flag of the F'atherland will not
be lowered when once raised on for
eign soil. the question arises whether
the United States consistently with
the Monroe doctrine can acquiesce in
the seizure of a Cuban port by his
imperial majesty's cruiser. That Is u
new element In the controversy with
Spain.
However. 1t is stlll believed and
hoped in conservative circles that war
will be averted. No attempt has been
made. as far as known. to fasten the
responsibility for the Maine disaster
on the Spanish government, and as
long us that has not been done, the
matter belongs clearly to the field OF
diplomacy. As for Cuba. a resolution
recognizing the Independence OF the is
land by the United States would not be
likely to cause n declaration OF war by
Spain. The Madrid government has
manifested n disposition to yield to the
circumstances from washington. Gem
eral Blanco has liberated the reconcen-
trados in the four western provinces
of Cuba; the flotilla that started from
Cadlz few days ago Is still lingering
on the other side of the Atlantic and a
Spanish representative declares tina,
his country Is not going TO strike the
first blow. All this goes far to prove
that II is quite possible that the con.
tinued firmness OF our government In
its dealings with Spain may ultimately
lead to a solution of the Cuban din,
Guilty without single battle. That. too
would be great triumph. It would

pose in case,of necessity. 1t seems to
be II part of Mr.. Washington's plan TO
have the governors of states take n
leading role in cooperating with him.
and Governor Wells has received from
him a circular letter embracing the
following language;
