MIGHT BE BOTTLED UP.

Sagasta is being cursed by the non
administration papers of Madrid for his
concession to Mckinley in the De LONE
affair, as was seen in the Associated
Press special correspondence in yester-
day mornings Eagle. War, these pa
pers claim, already actually exists;
that the Yankee is more surely acquir-
ing, at least aiding, Cuba than if we
were sending armed forces to the
island. So Spain is for open war.
As Cuba, in such an event, would log
ically be the bone Of contention; as the
Maine lies sunken in the harbor Of Ha-
vana. at that point would naturally
take place the first offensive and de-
fensiVe demonstrations. Naval experts
assert that the best naval strength
Spain can muster for the defense of
Havana would consist Of one battleship,
four cruisers of the larger type, a dozen
gunbOats and a half dozen torpedo
boats. Opposed to these would be the
fleet now already maneuvering in com
for each gun to cool, can fire 131, 400
pounds Of projectile in an hour. Could
Spain, under such circumstances, af-
ford to bottle up her navy in that har-
Dor and take the chances Of having
her entire available naval fleet destroy
ed? Upon the other hand, if she did
not make her grand stand there, what
would become OF the city and its an
cient Notifications Of out-of-date old
guns? What Havana is, so is Spain.
Military authorities do not consider
the defenses Of Havana capable Of of
fering serious resistance to an attack
by land and sea. Moro castle and Fort
ress La Cabana look formidable and
imposing on the heights above the city,
but when the Maine in entering the
harbor fired her imposing salute Of
twenty-one guns it was only after great
effort that the supposed great garrison
was able to return a salute of nineteen
guns. all they had, and two short of
the regulation courtesy. Across the
harbor stands Castillo de Ia Punta. a
square Fashioned stone fort mounting
four old guns only. The only defense
worthy the name boosted by Havana
IS some works three-fourths of a mile
east of Moro. It consists of a sand
built fertilization, and mounts two
twelve-inch Krupp rifles. It's strength
is in its sand-bank. but its weakness
in the exposure Of its two really eff
Gent guns. There are other medieval
Notifications stretching along the har-
Dor 20 the west of the city. but none Of
them Of sufficient strength to withstand
combined land and sea attack With
the fall of Havana, Cuba must fall.

AN OBSTINATE EXECUTIVE.

The Leavenworth Times seems sore

our pig-headed Pop governor. That
paper goes on in this way: by his de-
termination to summon an extraa ses-
sion Leedy affronts the judgment, IN
telligence and desire of the whole state,
for the popular voice, regardless OF
marty lines, has been raised against the
nroiect. Even the other state house
officials. Leedy's own cabinet, find their
imposition unheeded. But Leedy is one
Of those headed" persons whom no
amount Of reasoning viii influence. on
the contrary to produce reasons against
one Of his propositions is only to make
him adhere to it the more tenaciously.
The only satisfaction to those who are
diszusted with the Leedy regime is that
the extra session is not only fatuous
but is certain TO prove fatal 10 the polt-
5ca1 ambitions Of all responsible for it,
and especially Of Governor Leedy."
Sui our esteemed contemporary must
see that from O. party view point, Leedy
IS taking all the chances not only TO
ruin himself but to defeat his party,
with nothing gained even if the legisla7
ture when assembled would do his bid
ding, make no blunders, then adjourn
and go home. An extra session Will
prove a costly reform movement to the
taxpayers Of the state, but it will add
immensely to the advantage Of the Re
publican party.

THE POWER OF MONEY.

England throtIes empires and &C
Quires domains not So much with her
army and navy as by broadsides from
her long purse. Her favorite attack is
by a broadside from Lombard street.
Her most effective ammunition lies
within the vaults of the Bank OF Eng
land. Her states are thorough believers
In the doctrine that Omuiscience Is with
the latest purse. Russia maneuvered
in China, and Germany sent fleet To
demand concessions, but England drew
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-03-05

checks on her treasury for all the coal
to be found in the Asiatic ports and left
the ships of her rivals dead in foreign
waters with no power TO get up steam.
Now England has China by the throat
through a diplomatic bond deal, leav-
ing Russia and Germany inquiring as
to where they are at. England some
weeks ago offered to loan China S0000,-
900 at par with interest at per cent.
Russia stepped in and induced China to
decline, presumably offering similar
loan on other terms. What these terms
were no one knows, but they must have
been hard upon the Celestial empire,
for that financially haunted nation,
now that the time for meeting the Jap
anese indemnity draws near, returns
to England and accepts a loan of $780,
900, 900 at 10 per cent discount and 37@
be. cent interest. China loses by not
accepting the first offer, $8,000,000 at
once, and 100000 a year interest until
the loan is paid.
BY this deal and purchase England
acquires absolute control Of the COM
merce of the yellow empire because OF
the condition that England is to have
actual control Of the revenues Of China
ports for the payment Of the interest
involved, which ports, under the agree
ment are to be thrown open, togethea
with her rivers and canals, TO the trade
of the world, whereby Russia and Ger
many lose outright the advantages
sought by them. Next to England will
the United States be benefited.

DEMAND THE VIZCAYA.

AS the accident theory is fast losing
its hold as an explanation for the de-
struction of the Maine, and as proven
Spanish completely must be met by an
indemnity, money Or otherwise, the
Cincinnati Times-Star suggests that we
demand from Spain sum of money for
the families Of the poor fellows that
went down in Havana harbor and the
surrender of the battleship Eizcaya
with her armament exactly as she is
today. This plan has many advantages
over one that calls simply for indem-
nifty in cash. It would give us a first
class ship, possibly equal to the Maine.
and repair at once a loss that all the
money in the world could not replace
within a couple of years. 1t would
make the conditions easier for Spain to
fulfill, for heaven and the Rothschilds
alone know how Spain can raise an
other loan. If we send in a bill of dam
ages Spain will probably file a counter
charge Of several millions against us
for flibustering, and the dispute will be
dragged out interminably. If we per-
emptorily demand the Vizcaya and
scorn arbitration, We may obtain re-
dress at once. BY asking for the i'm
possible, which, in Spain, is cash, We
shall find no end to the question. The
raising of the Stars and Stripes on the
Vizcaya would be a heavy blow to the
pride of Spain, but if the court at Key
West finds Spain guilty, this humilia
ton is none too great.
