The formal recognition Of the indepen-
dence Of Cuba has the advantage over a
declaration for armed Intervention of not
pecessarily involving war, but more ar
guments can be presented in support of
the latter than the former There Is ex-
listing scarcely one of the generally recog-
nized essentials to the recognition of in
dependence. There is nothing that can
fairly be called a government, though
there is somewhere in the eastern end of
the island somebody that is styled @, Presi-
dent. But he apparently exercises no
jurisdiction anywhere. Not a sin gle sea-
port is held by the insurgents, SO that it
would be impossible to send a representa-
tive of this government to the independ-
entEstate. without. smuggling him through
Spanish lines There Is hardly the
shadow of an independent republic, much
less the substance of one. We can
make out case for armed interven-
ton to stop the fighting, which
is likely to be eternal unless somebody
ends 1T, but for the recognition of thing
that has no existence 1t would be pretty
hard to get up any Intelligent defence.

Rumors concerning the Presidents
message to Congress today are so conflict
ing that it is impossible to foresee what
recommendations it will make. Indeed
it is not certain that it will make any.
1t may deal simply with the facts and
turn the matter over to Congress for
action. This is not likely, however. In
all probability the President will take
the lead. There is growing
feeling that the seeming antago-
nism betwe N the President and
Congress will disappear when the mes
sage is heard. and that these two branches
of the government will find themselves
in substantial accord as to the. policy to
be pursued.

The security offered is the best In

The utmost privacy is afforded by sep

1t cannot be said that there are any
more signs of peaceful solution Of the
Spanish difficulty this morning than
there were twenty-four hours ago. The
indications are as warlike as over. The
conferences among the ambassadors Of
the powers, the efforts of the Pope toward
mediation and the sending Of ships to
Havana for the consuls and American
residents, signify that war is generally
regarded as inevitable on both sides Of
the Atlantic.

1t is possible that the Pope might be
accepted as mediator by the Spaniards
and the insurgents, but there is no likli-
hood of his being accepted by the United
States, since our government does not
recognize him as temporal sovereign.
His influence, however. may do much to
bring Spain into eonciliatory mood and
thus do much for peace.

II Maine laws put obstacles in the way
Of patriotic young men organizing for
the defence of their country, they ought
to be changed forthwith. But when
rightly interpreted we do not believe that
they do. The statute relating to the
militia seems to give the power to the
governor to license any military or
naval company he may see fit.

1t is undoubtedly the general opinion
in Congress that the Maine was de-
stroyed by mine located by the Span
iards and exploded by Spanish officials,
and this fact there is reason to believe
accounts more for the readiness of Con-
gress to declare war than any interest
in the Cuban question.

We're it certain that the Maine was de-
stroyed by the Spaniards and with the
conniyance Of the Spanish government,
the war spirit would be more rampant
In this country than it is now. Even
the peaceful East would put war paint
on if 1t was convinced that that disaster
was in reaaity diabolical crime, perpre-
trated by the Spanish government.
