WAR OF PRIVATEERING.

Madrid March 14-The view held In
official circles is that Spain will not pro-
woke a war, because If she did, she would
find herself isolated; but IL America
gives the provocation, Spain will not
be alone in the struggle. The general
opinion is that in the event of war Spain
will not need to attack American ter
rltory: IL will suffice her to pursue q
war of p-ivateering. AS American
commerce is seven-fold greater than
Spain's, American interests would suf-
fer most. War would be madness. ben

therefore counsels peace.

strengthening Defenses.
Boston. March 14.-"Three weeks and
more" The Journal observes, "have now
passed since the destruction of the
Maine. and the time has been well inn
proved by the officers who have charge
OF the work upon the defenses OF the
Atlantic seaboard. Officers of the army
declare that, although the full scheme of
defense is by no means completed, New
York is impregnable against any fleet
which Spain could send against us.
This assurance is not yet given for Bos-
ton, but our own armament is unques-
tionably strong enough already TO re-
pulse rowing ships, and every week will
see Ii strengthened"
The Globe declares that what the
American people wish to know are the
ascertainable facts, and all the ascertain
able facts concerning the disaster. The
public has confidence In the good sense
practical knowlege and integrity of the
men who make up our board of in
quiry. and feel certain that it's Judgment

been a not unnatural impatience over
the delay in making the report-an i'm
patience made keener by the many ru-
niors touching the alleged character
OF their findings. No one who knows
the character of the board will think OF
charging its members with deliberately
trihing with time. but the sooner the
report is made the greater the relief
among Americans OF every name"

rections the preparation made for war
has been marvellous i'm its rapidny and
its results We do not want to fight,
but IL we have TO do II, we mean to be

'Tndisputably the outlook for peace Is
brighter this morning than IL was one
week ago" says The Advertiser. Then
what seemed like war clouds were darker
than they had been at any time since the
present anxieties reached an acute stage.
War can come only from the
folly and madness OF Spain. The United
States will not declare war in any event.
and will use all just and honorable
means 10 avoid so lamentable a calam-
fty. Whatever tends TO show to Spain

preventing war"
