WHAT WOULD WE 10.

Should an investigation disclose the fact
that the Maine was destroyed by force
from the outside rather than by reason Of
an accident. the question naturally Arises
what could this Nation do under interna-
tiona1 law?
What demands could we make OF Spain
The Case rests upon the same basis that
any other outrage toward American citi-
zens abroad would rest but with this added
featurc-4a direct insult to or assault upon
the American flag and uniform. II would
be parallel grievance to the one we had
against Chile, when American sailors from
the cruiser Baltimore were set upon in
ValpsraiEo and one OF them Killed In The
case Of the Maine, however, the damages
would BIO greatly increased by the greater
loss.
The demand, therefore. would be for n
dtsavowa OF the act by the Spanish govern
ment, a snlute to the American flag aud
tho payment OF about s6,000.00 da,nagcs--
some s4,000,O00, say. for property destroyed
and $1,000 600, or thereabouis. TO the lirIrs
OF the dead Diiors, Spain had to do some
thing of this kind, 1t VIII be remembered.

soon as 1t was discovered that the aendlsh
outrage was perpetrated by some one IN
Havana other than an American. mr.
ton is responsible for tho safety OF every
stranger within Its gates.
But would the American people in Tho
event OF such discovery be satisfied with
an apology and damages? Hardly. There
would be such blood boiling and popular
Indignation in this country as would likeiy
sweep the congress and administration Off
their feet and drive them to find a cas,s
bell even though Spain were wiling to
apologize hundred times and pay oxeeS-
slye damages. We can not afford TO swap
