POOR OPINION or SPAIN

LONDON, March 21.-The Daily Mail
this morning. In an editorial refuting
some of the American accusations of
British GOODNESS says: Among many
reasons for Great Britain'sl comparative
non-interest. not the least is our better
knowledge of the Spaniards and their
paper navy and our conviction that the
AngIo-Saxon will also defeat the Latin.
Indeed the trend of British thought is
toward surprise that the greatest of re-
publicS shou-s1 excite itself unduy about
so poor a foe. The Americans should re-
member that. while we are full Of trust
in their capability to deal With Spanish
impertinences. we are fully occupied with
far greater troubles, threatened or act
i've in various parts of the world They
have our full sympathy a a time when
France, Germany and Russia are backing
Spain as fully, and almost as openly as
they are opposing British efforts for the
freedom Of foreign efforts throughout the
world.
but there is no occasion now to talk
of an offensive and defensive alliance.
The disproportion between our mission
and Americas make one impossible
There will be time to propose this way Of
re-cementing the race when America is
ready to face the splendid responsibilities
it entails"

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 2O--The
President and three members of his Cabinet
are said to be the only men high up in pub
lie life who cling to the hope that we will
be able to bring Spain to terms, without
war Four Republican Senators who are
thoroughly familiar with the situation in
all its phases, said to-day, when asked their
opinions and assured that they would not be
quoted by name, that they believed war
with Spain to be practically inevitable.
would be forced by the necessities OF home
politics to declare war on the United states
wien this government took the steps it
could not avoid taking to secure reparss ton
for the destruction of the Maine and to
bring about the independence of Cuba and
the restoration of peace in che island. The
Presidents hope of peace is based on the
belief that the Spanish Government is will
ling to let Cuba go rather than risk "A war
with us. He thinks the Spanish Govern
ment viii be strong enough and clever
enough to do this without precipitating
revolution at home.
But these yieWs of the President are
shareooniy by three members of his Ca binet.
The other. members of the Cabinet believe
t1at war cannot be avoided.
