Hope for peace is disappearing at
Washington. 1t Is now believed that the
worst will come, and people are discuss
ing the question as 10 how long HOSTILE
ties may last. In some quarters II Is said
that the first shot will be fred this week.
There Is, however, still doubt Ia regard 10
Spain; under the pressure OF European
powers she may yield, but the chances
are said TO bs against II. One significant
fact, however. is that the Madrid govern
ment has not managed its naval and mil
itaTy operations As II it expected to en-
gage In war. Suggestion Is made that II
the powers should guarantee support OF
the dynasty and the possession OF Porto
Rico and OF the Philippines, Spain may
surrender Cuba, not 10 please America,
but because Of European Intervention
and thus save her honor.
