KEW WEST EXCITED.
Key Wsst, April 12.-Key West is strung
to high tension tonight
When the latest Washington advices
reached the fleet in the harbor the en-
thusiasm was unparalleled. The Off
GERS maintained their usual silence, but
wsrs clearly gratided, while the men
made no effort to conceal their enthusi-
as.n. AS regarded here the situation is
now beyond the influence of diplomacy;
and confirmation is given to this by the
fact that the local Spanish consul turned
his affairs over to Mr.. Taylor, the British
consul, and that the Spanish vice-consu!.
who also represents Italy, has transferred
those special interests to Mr.. Taylor.
NOT so MUCH DANGER NOW.

States consul here, MIR. Lewis A. Dent,

TODAY and at Santiago de Cuba tomorrow
which may be tho reason for the cancel
lation of the charter OF the Capricornus.

HIS BEST INVESTMENT.

w. H. Beck of Sioux City, who is said to have the largest retail grocery business in Iowa, is thus quoted by the Sioux City Jour nal:
 "I have spent at least S25, 900 for newspaper advertising and consider it the best investment 1 have ever made. It took a great deal Of judicious advertising to put my business where it is, and now that it is permanent I ad- vertise yet just as liberally. I have always realized that the press is the direct means of com munication between the mer- chant and his customers, and as such I have been wide-awake enough to use it. l commenced business twenty-one years ago, but I am just as keen an adver- tiser as ever, and the older grow the more I appreciate the value of advertising.

THE DEMANDS OF THE TIMES

When congress took the decisive ac- ton that precipitated the short conflict with Spain the United States had but twenty-five thousand men under arms. Fortunately, however, it had superior war feet, although even the capacity of our sailors and warships was ques- tioned by some people who had done what they could to Trecipitate the conflict.
 The war came suddenly and the navy was not found wanting The small standing army, reinforced by the volunteers, made glorious stand at Santiago and later at Manila and the United States won a victory in spite of it's unpreparedness. Spain's weak ness was mainly responsible for the short war, but it was discovered that the Spaniards can fight on land when they are in gccd condition. As to their gunnery on warships and in forts, the Spaniards are miserably in efficient The wisdom of maintaining 8 nary was quickly demonstrated, and now the wisdom of maintaining q suit able regular army ought to be apDar- ent to every one.
 While many people in the United States believed that we would ultimate ly have 8 war with Spain nothing was dcne until war was actually declared in the direction Of forming sn army sufficient to cope with the Spaniards.
 At this time further war does not ap- pear possible, and indications point to
 another long era of peace. Still it is always the unexpected that comes to pass, and it is reason able to demand that our army shall b2
 made as efficient as our navy in time Of peace We do not want to go to war with any other nation. A; the same time g standing army of one
 hundred thousand men would not be
 out Of proportion to our population
 and our territory. The chronic ob- ! jectors will prCeest, of course, but the
 means Of seIf-protection are impera- lively demanded, not only comme2- cially, but physically.

THE PHILIPPINES.


 It is unoficially announced that ths United States has practically made 6
 demand upon Spain for the cession oI
 all the Philippine islands to this coun- try, hence the suspension of the con-
 ference in order to give the Spaniards
 time to catch their breath.
 Spain might as we'll make up its
 mind-and it should have done so long
 ago-that the United tSates is to hold
 the island Of Luzcn That much seems | to be recognized as inevitable every
 where, and we are no longer hearing
 any foreign buster concerning the rs- i tent;on Of that island by the United
 States. When the peace protocol was signed there was no mention Of any
 money indemnity to be paid to this country by the vanquished nation, and Spain should therefore congratulate it. self upon that phase Of the agreement. The evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico was agreed upon and the cession Of one of the Ladrone islands was also determined, leaving the future of the Philippines for future consideration. Porto Rico has practically been turned over to the United States, and Cuba will be deserted later on, although General Blanco dickers and dallies to an aggravating extent. But out of Cuba the Spaniards must go, and before the
 Christmas holidays at that, if the American government exercises its rights in the premises.
 Spain does not seem to realize that without Luzon the Philippine islands will be of 10 possible benefit to her. She fails to consider that the retention Of the Philippines would necessitate an almost endless expenditure of men and morey, to say nothing Of the construc- ticn of new navy. Spain clings with natural fcndness to the last of her pos sessions in the Pacific and cannot un- derstand that what might possibly be retained would only be a source of ex- pense and yexation.
 As to resuming hostilities, that is all nonsense. The American navy is rap idly being put into better shape than ever. We have two hundred thousand well drilled men to call upon, we know more than we did last April as to fighting Spaniards, wa are not dis posed to be talked down elt this ls--e day, and we are in a position to en- force our just demands to the end. The idea Of Spain renewing the war is the height of the ridiculous. With Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine islands gone a new war-or the resumption Of the one just ended-would simply mean that the United States would proceed against Spain's home ports. Our late enemy has no navy and we have navy not to be surpassed by any other Of its
 size We have had an experience in
 warfare that has taught us much. In spite of the ravages Of disease in the ranks of GIT soldiers, if it should
 be found necessary, the young and pa
 triotic men of the country will again
 respond to the call for volunteers. The
 American youth of the country is al
 ways loyal in spite of possible dangers and hardships. But there will be nc mere fighting with Spain.
