tiles, (which might be fatal to the
Spanish dynasty"
Continuing, the dispatch adds: "The
Vatican has specially exerted influence
at Washington, and has tried directly
and indirectly to dissuade the United
States frem plopgtng into war with
Spain. According to information here,

he will propose that Cuba remain under
the domination Of Spain, but that it
be ruled on the lines Of an English
colony"

Nothing of Special Importance
Considered at the Cabinet
Meeting.
An Open Question as to Whether
Spain Has Secured the
O'Higgins
Administration Said Not to Con-
slider War as Absolutely
Certain.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Nothing Of
special importance was developed at
the cabinet meeting. A large part Of
the time was consumed in the general
discussion of the measures being taken
to place the navy on proper footing
for defense in case of trouble. The
question of the purchase Of war vessels,
where they can be had, and at what
price, was talked over, but without
coming to any definite conclusion on
any new propositions. Information in
possession of the government is to the
effect that up to this time Spain has
not contaminated the purchase of the.
Chilian warship O'Higgins. The in
dications, it is stated, seem to be that
this ship also win be added ultimately
to the United States navy.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Dr. Estrada

WAR NOT INEVITABLE.

President and Cabinet Still Hope For a
Peaceful Solution of the Crisis.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-At the war
and navy departments there was the
usual stir during the day, but it is abb
solutely untrue to say that either the
president or the ca abinet has reached the
conclusion that war is inevitable. All
the leading public men in Washington,
however, appreciate the fact that af-
fairs are approaching crisis, and that
it would be mistake to put off prep
aration till the crisis is actually
upon us.
Although the president is believed
to lean very strongly toward the view
that the Maine disaster and interven-
tion shall be treated as one and dis
posed of jointly, it is but just to say
that some very good friends of peace
object to such combination on the
ground that it
Confuses Two Wholly Separate Issues;
questions of international law raised in
the Maine case, and the humanity and
charity which alone could impel our
government to intervene in the domes-
tic affairs of friendly power.
These advisers argue that, if the ex-
plosion Of the Maine had occurred in
any other than Spanish or Cuban
port, no one would have thought of
com bining this incident with the Gu
ban question.
But the other side answers that,
whether logical or not, the association
of the two subjects does exist in the
public mind, both in this country and
abroad, and that our acceptance of
''blood money" at the present juncture
would be liable to damaging misin-
terpretation on all sides.

"The Chinese question is much more

the Cuban, but America has no naval
base in Chinese waters. Why should
not Spain make peace by offering the
United States a naval station in the
Philippines? Spain would lose nothing
thereby. On the contrary, the United
