London, March 25.-The Daily Graphic
says editoriaily this morning: 1--WE think
it time that Washington ceased webbing.
Weeks ago it was said that the starting
Of the Spanish torpedo flotilla for the West
Indies would compel America TO declare
war. To-day the hotilla is steaming
straight for Porto Rico. Meanwhile acute
sena tors in Washington and over-clever
journalists in New York are planning in
genious campaigns to fix the odium of de-
clarng war on Spain. Surely this is I'M
worthy of the American people Two
courses are open TO President Mckinley.
Either to cooperate with the Sagasta cab
met i'm making Cuba home rule reality or
to give Spain peremtory notice to quit
To aovid both courses Is to turn the terri
Bile Maine disaster into sort of gruesome
red herring. If President Mckinley does
not mean war let him say so and the hor-
rors in Cuba will soon be mitigated."
