PRIvATEERING.

London, April l5-There is great inter-
est here in government and commercial
circles over the possibilities Of privateer-
ing in the event of war. Special applIca-
ton for letters of marque have been
made at the Spanish embassy and at the
office OF the Spanish naval commission.
but there are no applications at the Uni
ted States embassy. II is generally rec
ogniZed that Spain intends to make pri-
watering a conspicuous element. II is
thought, however, that she will cOnfne
her energies In that direction to preying
upon American coastwise trade. II is not
believed she will risk offending the Euro
pean powers by stopping their American
hound vessels or searching trans Atlantic
ships for American goods, for II Euro
pean ships are molested the powers prob
ably will adopt radical preventive meas
ures. The prominent opinion that the
United States viii not embark in priva-
teering produces an excellent impression.
At the admiralty mere 1t is suggested
that the Spanish naval scheme will not
be to pit a fleet against the American
warships, but TO scatter Spain's warships
about the coasts and indulge in guerilla
warfare, sweeping down upon coast
towns and retreating before they are
overtaken. 1t is deemed certain that this
will be Spain's policy If she abandons
the hope of retaining Cuba and merely
pursues war of revenge.

PRESIDENTS INTENTIONS.

New York April ia World special
from Washington says:
The presidents present intention Is 10
give his act Of war in taking possession
OF Cuba a humanitarian aspect. He pro
poses to send merchant vessels loaded
with medicine. food and clothing for the
starving Cubans to Havana and Matan-
zas. These vessels will be accompanied
by fleet OF twenty warships and by
transports carrying regular United States
troops. They will land peaceably and
take possession OF the fortified towns
unless Spain fires on them. II Spain
fires the first shot the battleships Indiana
and Iowa and the monitors Puritan. Ter
ror and Amphitrite will instantly begin
the bombardment OF Havana with their
u and lS-inch guns. How long the two
century-old fortifcations OF Havana with
their seventeenth-cen.ury muzzle-loading
cannon will stand against the 6S-ton guns
OF Captain SIMPSONS fleet is an inter-
esting question. The bombardment Is
not hkelly to last longer than the bom-
bardment Of Alexandria by the British
fleet in lSS3-about four hours. Then all
that will remain will be to use. torpe-
does TO clear Havana harbor OF Il e sub
marine mines and the United States will
be in possession of the capital Of Cuba.

wANAMAEER TO THE FRONT

Philadelphia April l,-Ex-P Postmaster
General John Wanamnker has sent this
telegram to Washington:
"1'o the Honorable the Secretary OF
War; Those opposed to war unless hon
orahly unavoidable, In the event Of Its
coming | will under your instructions,
raise regiment OF Pennsylvanians for
military duty and go with them for SER
vice John Wanamaker,"
After sending his ofrer to the secre-
tary Of war. Mr., Wan0maker posted in
his store two notices, one for the mana
gers office and the other for the time
Keepers desk as follows:
"ln order that our men may have easy
minds In considering and arranging their
affairs In the event of being called upon
for military services, this notice is posted
to say;
"Flrst-That all the positions thus va
Gated will be re-opened to return when
the military service is over,
"SeCond-That all salaries will continue
In full In such absence for actual service
and to be paid to the authorized repre-
sentative Of their respective families,
"rhlrd-An insurance to the amount of
$1,000 will be paid by the firm in case OF
each death while any of our people are
actually engaged In military service"
Mr., Wanamaker In speech at Ashborn
last night said;
1--WE know not to what we shall awake
with the morning light Thick shadows
of impending strife of arms have settled
down upon the land, Notwithstanding the
hone against hope that lawful costs of
law in blood and treasure might be saved
with Justice to both countries and with
dignity and honor, The roll of drums and
the signal of the dying squadron is calling
us to war. Each of us must consider our
relations to the nation and adjust our
affairs accordingly"

Delay Has Given the Conservatives
Time to Arouse Sober Thought.
PRESIDENTS PLAN OF ACTION
Spain EiIl Have to Fire the first Shot
Spain Mill Make rriystsering Con-
spieuous Element Of War

New York. April la Tribune special
from Washington says:
The failure Of the senate 70 act on the
Cuban resolution reported by the foreign
relations committee has given the con-
seryatlye element IN that body the nee
essary breathing space % rally their
forces and 10 appeal 10 the sober second
thought Of the extremists who seem bent
on taking an irrelevant and necessary
issue with the programme Of Cuban inter-
ycntIOn formed by the president and
overwhelmingly lndorsed by the house
of representatives. No thorough and can
did discussion could fail. Of course. 70
demonstrate ths inefectlyeness OF the
senate resolutions 10 accept the real aims
Of American policy In cuba or 10 ex-
pose their hh7dequacy and one-sidedness
compared with the more direct. explicit
and comprehensive instructions 10 the
executive voted By the house
Another - hours Of serious reflection
has done much indeed 10 convince the
less inhammable and cOol-headed mem
bers Of the deliberative branch OF the
impollcy OF antagonizing by some ex-
treme pressure Of sentiment the careful
and settled pan Of action already rec
commended by the president and approved
by the popular house Of congress. That
the senate may seek 20 stake it, iudg-
ment against that Of the executive and
the house Is still among the possibilities
but every additional hour Of delay en-
courages the hope that the conservative
leaders In the body may unite 10 fore
stall the spectacle Of a government d.
yided against itself on a most vital ques-
ton Of foreign policy and may by the
timely exercise Of spirit OF conciliation
and moderation restore that unity in ma
tional councils which every considera-
tion OF interest and patriotism demands
