An Internal Machine Sent TO the
White HOuse-tiunrds Doubled.
New York Sun. April %.


WASHINGTON, April 2I--An Internal
machine was sent to the president today.
Fortunately its character was suspected
and measures taken 10 prevent its explo-
sion and no harm was done. The incident.
was carefully concealed. and al: efforts
are being made to capture the sender.
There was nothing TO suggest FROM whom
IL came and no clue was afforded as to the
man who sent it. The machine was inclosed
in a harmless booking cigar box. An in
genious Continuance had been arranged 50
that when the Id of the box was opened
there would be fash of powder which
would explode O stick of giant powder
sufficient 10 blow a man TO atoms.
Lieut.. Cross. in charge of the White
House police. TO whom the machine was
handed, discovered its nature and took
precautions to render Ii harmless. He soak
ed 1t thoroughly in tub Of water, until
the contents were saturated. and then
opened Il.
AS result OF this incident additional
measures were taken to guard the execu-
tive mansion. The police force was
doubled, and tomorrow il is expected that
detail from the district militia will form
an additional outside guard TO the APP
proaches 10 the White House grounds.

be very much hampered thereby in their
operations. As II is. tn the event OF an
invasion. the army Of the United States
viii move under the orders of the presi-
den: and commanding generals without
regard 20 the wishes Of Cuban insurgent
officers.
Another consideration that affected
him was the statement. based on prece-
dents. that the conclusion OF peace At
the termination OF hostilities weuld be
very much complicated by the previous
recognition on the part OF the United
States OF the Cuban republic, and
treaty OF peace would. It Is said. neces-
sarily be drawn between Spain on the
one hand and Cuba on the other. leay-
ing the United States. which had borne
the hrunt OF the night. without q voice
In peace arrangements.
The presidents cautious course
throughout the negotiations shows, too.
that while he was engaged In diplomacy
he and his cabinet were planning out
the preliminary work for a vigorous
prosecution Of the campaign. Two
months ago we were not in a condition
for war. In that short time forts have
been strengthened, the navy has been
augmented by q tonnage Of Ill. 4ss. add
ing sixty-four vessels TO our fleet: the
mobilization Of powerful army f vol
unteers is well under way, and We are
now ready not only to begin war. but
to prosecute it TO successful end.
The honor OF the nation demanded
that war should be entered upon when
1t could no longer be creditably avoided;
but the material interests OF the coun-
try made II no less imperative that the
duration Of the war should be rendered
as brief as possible. This country has
an enormous commerce upon which
hundreds Of thousands Of people depend
for their livelihood. and any protraeted
enormous losses. compared with which
the direct cost OF war would be insig-
nificant. II a mistake had been made,
and any weakness on our part gave
such encouragement to Spain as to pro-
long interruption to business. the eoun-
try would have much more cause to find
fault with the administration than that
which 1t thoughtlessly expressed during
the two short months Of preparation
whose object was to make our strokes
swift and our blows decisive.
The only criticism passed upon the
president which was deserved was as to
his message. After permitting public
fervor to be wrought up by assurances
that 1t would be equal to the calls OF
patriotism 1t was disappointing to have
a suggestion made that this nation
should enter upon hostile course tow
ard both belligerents.

planning to harass the administration
