had been done. And yet this magr cent
vessel, at anchor in the harbor of a friend
ly nation, was destroyed with greater loss
of life than wo44d have followed an en-
gagement with the whole Spanish fleet in
Cuban waters. Had the Spanish cruis-
ers and torpedo boats attacked the Maine
and sent her to the bottom with the loss
of 250 lives, the calamity would have been
hard to bear. But to have the Maine de-
stroyed as she was destroyed is calamity
unbearable. 1t was useless to cry pa
tience when there was no patience II
was useless to ask for suspension of judg.
ment when judgment had been given
That judgment was against Spain, and il
reversed it would be only on the testi-
mony of witnesses who had standing in
the court of public opinion.

full depth of American patriotism. writes

make it free and safe to the navies of the
world. The administration fully recog-
nlZes the dangerous situation and is max
ing preparations for war War may not
come, but the Government will be pre-
pared if it does come.
The suspicion that the Maine was blown
up by torpedo or submarine mine has
grown almost to conviction. No one in
Washington says this correspondent. can
explain why such an act should have been
committed, and many hope that it may be
proven that it was not committed by any
Spanish official; but there are few who
any longer hold to the theory of an acci-
dental explosion in one of the magazines
or have any assurance that a conflict with
Spain will not follow the development OF
the fact that the Maine was destroyed by
an act of treachery.
1t is admitted that Consul General Lee
has warned Americans who are in Ha-
vana on pleasure to leave because they
are not safe. Cabinet members are talk
ing guardedly about indemnity. Naval
officials admit that warships are moving
toward Key West and that work is being
pushed with all possible speed on ships
now in the various navy yards. Army
officials admit that Notifications are to
be manned at once and that other prepar-
ations are making to place our military
arm in the best possible condition.
Activity Is Significant.
All these things are explained as only
in keeping with the plans formulated
months or weeks ago. and that they have
no especial or immediate significance at
this time. But they are in keeping with
the suspicion now almost a conviction,
that the Maine was destroyed by hostile
act of some one connected with the Span
ish army.
1t is not, however, the preparations IN
the Navy or War Department or the
warnings of Gen. Lee for Americans to
leave Havana that point to a crisis as
much as it is the feeling that the Maine
was destroyed by treachery. The most
conservative men in Congress fail to find
any possible plan for rignting this great
wrong 1t has been suggested to the Pres
ident that an indemnity of S10,000,000
might be demanded from Spain if the
board of inquiry reports that the battle
ship was blown up by a torpedo or sub
marine mine. Some members of the cab
met are reported to favor such demand.
but it is not fayorably considered by men
in Congress with wider range of expert
ence in such affairs. Should it be estab-
lished clearly that the Maine was blown

Will Not Helm Snain.

Mr.. Hanotaux, the French minister of
foreign affairs, denied the report that, in
the event of war between Spain and the
United States. France would aid Spain.
He said: The French Government has
not contemplated the probability of war
between Spain and the United States.
The statement that France will take the
field against America is absurd. prefer
to think that the memories of Columbus,
Washington and Lafayette are sufficient

is responsible for the men who control
the guns in her forts and on her big cruis-
ers. Governments do not have such Sc
cret agencie@ open TO the access of fa-
natics, and if they do they must be held
responsible for their acts.
The work of the board of inquiry will
therefore end when they have examined
the ship and found the evidences of foul
play There will then be left no alterna-
tive for this Government but war, unless
Spain sues for peace and asks for con
ditions of peace.

NEW SPANISH MINISTER.
Senior Polo de Bernabe, Who Succeeds
De Lome in Mashinofan


Senor Polo de Berna be, the new Spanish
minister to Washington, is the son of
Admiral Polo of the Spanish navy, who
was minister to the United States during
President Grants administration and who
was chiefly instrumental in wing off
belligerency recognition in the last Cuban
rebellion. Senior Polo, as he is called. is
by no means the brusque democrat his
father was. He is colorless young man
of almost no force of character at all. and
has been carried along in the diplomatic
offices of Spain by administration after
administra ton for the sake Of his father
and his family. He has done little of note
during his official life, although he is
man of much learning. He speaks Eng
lish fuently, and has wide acquaint-
ance with commercial history. on which
subject he has written number of val
liable treatises. His wife, Sonora Meg
dez de figo. the daughter of the present
Spanish ambassador to Germany, is an
accomplished woman not unknown in
Washington society. The new minister

in in various places of late, and several
buildings standing along the location have
been moved off the ground during the win

Good authorities ON international law
say that if it is proved that there were
mines in the harbor of Havana, Spain is
liable for the disaster to the Maine.
whether those mines exploded by accident
or through the criminal act of an indi-
vidual Spaniard, whether an official or
not. They believe that if Spain had laid
submarine mines in the Havana harbor it
was her duty to warn the officers Of the
Maine of the danger they incurred in an
choring there. They cite precedents.
