n Prophecy Of the War.

f0,r Cuba had suffered at the very
threshold of this great and free country
for more than a century before any ac-
tive intervention was undertaken by
the lnlted States. Outrage after out
rage had been piled upon American citi-
zvHS who resided there or undertook TO
trade at her ports. The present war
ought to have been fought fifty years
ago, and 1t is long. sad commentary
on the TOO peaceful conservatism of the
past that the first man killed in front
of Santiago in June 1858, was the
grandson and namesake of the Secre-
tary of State who held back the hand of
justice in 1870 when the NirginiuS at
fair stirred the American people to in
dIGHatiUn. 1t seems to prove that,
whether the war was deferred or not.
it must come in spite of the couserya-
tiSm in spite of the cost of life and
money.
The thought that il would come was
present i'll the minds of many, and in
one instance at least seems to have
been developed into basis for action.
Many residents of our city have noted
in the street cars among the advertising
SlgLS which are SO prominently dis
played series of cards which refer to
naval and military lines, and which
have double interest at the present
boar. Although they were placed in the
cars over year ago. before the Spanish
war was thought of. their text in not
n few points seems TO foretell with ac-
curacy some OF the reia tons of the war.

Constructor Hanscom convened yester-
day at League island navy yard. The
first charge against Hanscom is that of
approving fraudulent vouchers which
gave to workmen at League island navy
yard more pay than they had earned;
the second is culpable inetflciency in the
performance of his duties; the third is the
failure to report the false vouchers to his
immediate superior, and the fourth is the
making false statements in his reports

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Anglo
American commission held joint session
and number Of committee meetings
yesterday, resulting in much progress.
The joint meeting was devoted mainly
to questions affecting the great lakes
and to the subject of railway transpor-
tation in bond across the border. AS to
the lakes. it is understood that very
full understanding has been reached
which is practically final. The main
points in dispute as to lakes relate to the
fisheries and the maintenance and build
ing Of warships on the inland waters.
AS to the lake fisheries it is understood
that the agreement contemplates joint
regulation for a closed season, size Of
nets, etc. Concerning the building and
n.aint tenance of armed vessels 1t Is un-
ierstood that each side has been willing
to grant concessions, and that the present
regulation will he considerably modified.

1t was on Thatcher island that the
Portland MAS last reported before she
went to her doom. There are many
theories offered in explanation or now
the vessel reached II point near the tip
end of Cape Cod. Although the exact
in al! probability never be known, 1t is
| "rrrraiiy believed mere that the wreck
occurred at point about 10 or probably
10 miles horth OF feaked Hlll pars' which
would DE from ~ TO ~ iilies from where

The tremendous seas which she must
have encountered OF Cape Ann undoubt-
edly damaged her, and when Captain
Blanchard saw that he could proceed no
further eastward 1t Is thought by some
that he resolved To make Tor the open
sta to avoid the dangers along the coast.
The time that the Portland was lost is
placed at from 10 10 o'clock sunday
forenoon. The watches found on the
bodies washed ashore had nearly all
stopped between those hours. The WIHcF
could not have occurred between those
hours Saturday night, in the Judsiner
OF all competent authorities, as III thStt
i washed ashore at points in Massachu
setts bay. Furthermore, the force ol
the storm at 10 o'clock Saturday night
was not sufficiently heavy to cause the
vessel to founder.
When the wreck was first reported it
was thought the boat had possibly
struck on the terrible Peaked Hill bars,
which are known among mariners every
where as the graveyard of New England ;
