ALLEGED PRoGRAMME.
A Correspondent Makes n Guess at
the Administrators Policy.

the Administrations Policy.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 1.-Ths Globes
Washington special says: The President
and his Cabinet know, unofficially, the re-
suit of the Maine inquiry. They are pre-
pared to act. They have canvassed the
course of events so far as they can foresee
them, and have formulated a policy to meet
the emergency. Along it's lines the admin
istration expects to move, unless it is swept
off it's feet by a wave of popular dissatis-
faction. The Globes special correspondent
is able to present the forecast of events
as viewed by the President and his Cabinet.
1t can be outlined thus:
First-The board OF inquiry will report
this week that the explosion was external.
Second-The President will Immediately.
through Minister Woodford demand from
Spain an naturalization of $1O0OO,OO0.
Third-Spain is expected to reply, express
Ing her willingness to pay If she is response
BILE, but maintaining that her own investi-
cation shows that the explosion was inter-
nal and purely accidental She will there
fore suggest reference to an international
board of arbitration.
Fourth-In such an event the adninistra-
ton would be disposed to comply with the
suggestion unless there is an emeute in
Havana or an irresistible demand for war
sweeps through Congress
Fffth-If Congress acquiesces n the sug-
gestion the attempt will be made to adj
journ that body and leave the whole mat
ter in the Presidents hands.
Sixth-It is expected that a large ma
jority of congressman will claim that such
matter of honor cannot be arbitrated. 1t
is further expected that the leaders of both
houses, including Senator Davis, of Mime
sofa. will favor arbitration.

SPAIN MUST GIVE WAY,
Or the United States VIII Recognize
the Indenendence of Cuba.


the independence of Cuba.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Times Herald's
Washington correspondent says: Spain
must yield to the United States, or the in
dependence of Cuba will be recognized. This
is the policy of the administration as it is
understood by the members of the cabinet.
To avert such recognition Spain must make
prompt and full reparation for the loss of
the Maine if it shall be the finding of the
court Of inquiry that the battle ship was
blown up by a torpedo. She must, more
over, consent to settlement of the Cuban
question on the just and equitable lines laid
down by the President when he is ready to
intervene Recognition of Cuban independ-
ence is the alternative which Spain must
face if she declines to meet the United
States upon the high and honorable ground
wherein President Mckinley will take his
stand. 1t is an alternative which Spain can
not afford to have forced upon her, and,
therefore, it is believed she will grant the
demands made by the United States, both
as to the Maine disaster and as to the flu
ture of Cuba asodt v~at
In the foregoing words 1 have carefully
stated the situation as it is understood to-
day by men who are nearest to the Presi-
dent. Not even members of the Cabinet
dent has decided to do in the near future.
If the President has himself decided he has
not communicated his intentions to a single
one of his official advisers. All the men,
bers Of the Cabinet know is that the PreSi-
dent is determined to have ample reparation
for the destruction of the Maine and that
after this incident is peacefully closed, ii
it ever is, the Cuban problem must be set
tied somehow-by negotiation, by interven-
ton or by recognition of independence, even
If this last recourse leads to war. This is
as far as the President has gone, and is
as far as he will or can go at the present
time. He knows the results the American
people demand, and he proposes to have
those results. The best means OF securing
them must be adopted according to circum-
stances from time 70 time, as one phase of
our relations with Spain is succeeded by
another
When the report of the court of inquiry
is received, the President will lose no time
in presenting to the government at Madrid
our demands for reparation, If the verdict
justifies such demands. Then will come the
test of Spain'S spirit. At the outset Spain
will be given to understand these four facts:
One-The United States will stand by the
report of our court of inquiry, whatever 1T
may be.
Two-No provision for second investi-
cation by neutral court will be enter
tanned. aaf.fx
Three-No arbitration proposals will be
considered.
Four-There must be no haggling, evasion
or delay, but prompt and satisfactory
compliance with our demands.

VIEWS OF "PoPE BoB."
IngersOI Talks about the Bull Fight
ers and Spanish CutthrOats.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Colonel Rob-
ert G.. Ingersoll talked war to all corners
yesterday. He added force frequently to his
expressions with the kind of explosives that
are only employed when one feels a sense
Of insult or injury. Warming up to the sub
ject of trouble with Spain, the colonel said:
"a war with Spain is ridiculous. A man
who cannot control or whip one Of his own
children is very foolish when he tries TO
whip strong and wealthy neighbor. Spain
is virtually dead ane gone, wiped out from
the map of all nations by her superstitions
and bloody tyrannies. The names of King
Ferdinand, the Duke of Alva, Torquemada,
Cortez and Velasquez, by their persecution
and torture of Moors. tho Jews, and Indians
and independent thinkers are only to be re-
membered as synonyms of cruelty, blood
and death.

blown up from the outside and through the

The republicans realize they are

and nothing to lose, hence the des-
perate means to attain the ends
