ENGLISH COMMENT
No Further Reason for a Delay Of
Hostilities

LONDON, April 2O.-The Times says
editorially this morning: Delay on the
American side can now do no good. 1t is
better that what the president has to do
should be done quickly. 1t is surprising
news from our American correspondent
that no one in Washington, with the possi-
Bile exception of Archbishop Ireland, still
believes in the possibility of peace. A
peaceful solution would doubtless be pos.
sible if both governments were sincerely
desirous to avoid war. 1t is quite conceiva-
Bile that in the long run both will have
Ieason to regret the decision at which
both have arrived. We regret the out
come on behalf of both peoples" the
editorial concludes by noting that Amer
ica's change of attitude toward England
and her appreciation of British sympathy
are exemplifed in Senator Lodges pro-
posal to pay the Bering sea award
The Daily News says editorially: "In
full sympathy with America, we cannot
help thinking that the resolutions of the
house were wiser than those of the SEN
ate. The jingoes have won the day. but
1t is for no empty punctilio that the United
States Is contending."
The Standard says: 1--WE are persuaded
that 1t will be the general verdict of all inl-
partial judges that in peremptorily call
ing upon Spain to declare it's purpose at
once, the American government is depart
ing wrongly and unwisely from principles
hitherto respected in relations between
civilized nations. Unhappily, this is not
ten tempt for = amenities of intercourse is ap,
parent at Washington. Spain should be al
lowed decent time to reply. America ought
rot to forget the share her own people
have had in stimulating and maintaining
the rebellion in Cuba
The Daily Chronicle says: "Our neutral
ity should be of the most benevolent de-
scription toward America. We ought to
proclaim and regard it as barbarous and
unfriendly act, liable to instant reprisals
If either Spanish or American goods are
seized on a British ship or British cargo
is seized on board American or Spanish
vessels. Great Britain ought also to de-
clare her intention to prevent privateerins
on the part of any state"

Troops in Motion
| The important event at the war depart
ment was the decision to enlist only Ma.

troops which will be very gratifying to
the militiamen. Some idea Of the cost OF
transporting troops may be formed from
the fact that 1t was necessary to allot s., :
600, 900 today to defray the expenses of the
movements already ordered. Reports from
all over the country this morning indi-
Gated that the movements were going on
with the most gratifying celerity. A pic
turesque condition of warlike conditions
was presented right in Washington by the
departure for the south Of the Sixth cav
airy, and Secretary Alger, busted as he
was with official tasks, managed to find
time to go to the station to see them off.

Ancient Ordnance
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The board of
naval bureau chiefs is considering the ad-
Visibility of utilizing some of the old con-
verted smooth-bore guns for the auxiliary
cruisers. These guns are really not smooth
bores at all, but are cast-iron guns lined
with a steel tube fully rifed. They are
not, however, breech-loaders, so they WHY
be necessarily slow in action. Their weight
is eight tons, and all that would be neces-
sary to fit them to fit them to vessels OF
the st. Paul and New York class would
be the laying of 4 deck track and the fast
ening Of couple Of heavy ring bolts for
each gun. They fire solid, armor-piercine
shot Weighing 1s0 pounds, or shell weigh
156 pounds with a bursting charge Of ter
pounds of powder. With an accurate range
Of from two and half to three miles, they
would be an effective weapon against any
unarmored ship. 1t is the intention of thu
navy department to replace them upon the
vessels by modern weapons just as fas
as the new guns can be turned out.
