Obtain COMMAND Of the Sea.
LONDON, March 12.-The Statist dis
cusses the financial side Of a possible
spanlsh-American war. After pointing
out the expense OF hurriedly creating
an American army and strengthening
the navy. II agrees that the United
States will eventually obtain command
Of the sea, adding Then If Spain sub
mitted the expenditure would rapidly
end, and the war might not cost very
much" Continuing, The Statist re-
marks:
But If Spain prolonged the contest
the United States would find itself in
an embarrassing position. The creation
of a large army TO drive Spain out Of
Cuba would mean very considerable
expense, and, when accomplished, what
would the United States do with Cuba
Lastly. IL Spain then refused to sub
init. would America. after capturing the
Spanish West Indies. extend the war

credit might force her to peace, but If
Spain simply defaulted her debt and
devoted the money she could raise in
any way to protracting the struggle
the cost to the United States would GER
tainly be very great"
Dealing with Mr. Cannon's compari-
son Of the condition Of the United
STATES treasury with those Of other
countries, The Statlst says:
HE forgot that Russia, a poorer
country than the United States, has
over sl3l.000, 900 In gold devotable to
war purposes. The large surplus In the
United States treasury is due to Mr.
EHH
tho Union Pacific. Subtracting the gold
reserve against the greenbaclks, only

view of the considerable annual deficit
It seems incredible that the secretary ol

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Senor
Luis Polo Bernabe, the new Spanish
minister for the first time sipce his ar
rival, has consented TO speak concern
ing Spanish affairs observing such reti-
cepce on certain phases as diplomatic
psopriety required. Since the minister's
arrival he has received a cablegram
from Captain General Blanco stating
tkat the Cuban cabinet has designated
Senoyes Servallios Of New York and Bar
ina, secretary Of the &layana Chamber
of Commerce to act v1tn Senor Angulo
Ia negotiating a civil treaty between
the United States and Cuba. The min
lister referred incHentally to this fact.

the complete autonomy which Spain has
granted to Cuba. Although Senor Polo
win be plenipotentiary In arranging a
Cuban treaty. the Cuban delegates
above named, chosen by the Cuban cab
met, wiz have entire control Of the
terms OF such treaty.
When Senior Polos attention was
drawn to recent critical phases Of the
Spanish situation. he spoke with much
reserve. The Lee incident happened
while he was on the ocean and he knew
nothing. he said, OF the circumstances,
although he felt confident misunder-
standing had grown out Of some casual
allusions TO General Lee. not meant as
any intimation that his recall was de-
sired, The minister was then asked II
he viewed the present condition Of af-
fairs between the United States and
Spain as indicating war. After a mo-
ment's hesitation he answered gravely:
II am sure that the United States
does not want war. just as / am sure
that the Spanish government does not
want war. and will do everything hon
orable in its power TO avert such ca

the -Filibustering
In the House.

WASHINGTON, March 12. - Three
new battleships of the stanchest type
ahoat have been authorized by the
house committee on naval affairs and
provisions for their construction In
serted in the naval appropriation bill.
At the same time the committee agreed
on a maximum price of S40O per ton for
armor plate for our vessels. increased
the number Of marines by 47S men
and put matters in fair shape for a
decision on the location Of drydccks,
probably four in number, capable Of
accommodating the largest sized war
vessels.
Before the decision on the increase Of
ships was reached there was long and
interesting discussion. Representative
Tate (Dem., Ga.), while favoring an
increase, believed that two vessels
would be ample and that further ex-
penditure beyond the point OF necessi-
" should be avoided. Representative
Loudenslager IN. j. protested that If
the strength Of the navy was to be in
creased at all 1t should be to the ex-
tent OF three new vessels, built and
armed TO meet any vessel afioat. Rep
resentative Hawley CTex.) moved that
a cruiser be substituted for one Of the
battleships. but subsequently withdrew
the motion.
When the vote was taken. there was
but one dissenting vote. Mr. Tate in
sisted that two battleships would be
sufficient TO meet present needs. The
new warships provided for wilr be Of
the finest pattern. 1t will be two years
/ doubtless before they can be placed in

tee decided should bear the name OF

for their construction was not fixed, be-
ing referred to the subcommittee on ap-

ed, will be about s5.OOO.OOO each, though

The amount OF expenditure may not. ex-
ceed 81. O0O, 900 each. An important ques-
tion was raised as to whether the ex-
