HOPIS A sPANIARD DID III.
lei NacionGl EeTiews the Disaster
to TIE Maine.

Madrid. via Biarritz. France. March 10.
The El Nacional. which reflects the SEN
timents Of the Spanish populaCe, prints
the following:
Should the United States acknowledge
the suspicion that the Spanish govern
ment had ordered the Maine blown up,
such a statement would seem to US a
piece Of solemn foolery. But is il not
logical that the Americans should sus-
peCt that the Maine was blown I'D by
the act Of a Spaniard aggrieved by the
armed CUurtcSies Of that vessel. or by
flibuster DESTROYS Of provoking conflicts
between the old monarchy and the young
republic?
In spite Of all official compliments. the
United States and Spain are two nations
at war. All harm seems to us to come
from them, as to them all misfOrtunes
must seem TO originate with us.
1t Is for this reason that they charge TO
US the Maine.
We also say here. or our contemporaries
say. that Spain joins the Yankees in their
grief but Il IS not SO. There is SOria.
whore the explosion at Havana has been
celebrated with rejoicing and fireworks
and nealing q bells
And after stating that the suspicious
Of the Yankees not only do not offend US,
but also seem to US very logical, we would
also say that We Go not know, nor can
any one know, whether they are founded
or unfounded.
Those newspapers that affirm that there
is no doubt Of the accidental nature of
the event make us laugh 1t would seem
that they were inside the American YES
sci and took part in the catastrophe.
The presence Of the Maine in Havana
caused indignation TO all Spaniards. 1t
was said TO be a visit Of courtesy, but
now it appears that the Maine was fill
ed with enough explosives to blow up the
capital Of Cuba Is il not plausible that
a Snaniard should endanGer his own
life to put 10 the hull Of the ship tor
pedo TO blow it up. or within the ship a
fuse that would set It on fire?
Is the presence Of a hero who would
give his life TO avenge insults to the
nation doubtful in the land Of the heroes
OF Numancia and Of Sagunto and of Phi
zarro?
And let us still be frank We honestly
say that we would like to have discov-
cred i'm this catastrophe the agency Of
some Spanish patriot, whose name we
would offer for all to admire.
The consequences? BAH The conse-
Quences could not 40 beyond the punish
ment Of the culprits and the payment of
an indemnity What difference would
twelve or fifteen million pesetas more
make 10 us?
Is the Government afraid? All, Let it
remember that we nobly warned ii of ev-
erything. and that. come what may, none
will be blameworthy save they who con-
sented to the presence OF the Maine in
Havana and even received her as tri-
umph for Spain. in spite of the tons of
explosives the American ship had con-
cealed within her, like another Pandora's
box.

Sensational Mr.. Long.

(From the Chicago JOurnal.)
In this crisis the public is divided into
three classes. There is a small. colOrless
class that refuses to accept any evidence
until the official report is produced. The
Journal does not quarrel with this class,
although the patience that can remain
mistaken by the destruction of human
life is almost too philosophical for prac-
teal life. There is a second and very
large class that approaches the question
of Spain's responsibility from n hearty.
wholesome. frank hatred of the nation
that has inflicted hideous misrule upon
Cuba. There is a third class, small in
numbers, but petulant and insulting in
expression, that. from fear of war or
dislike of robust Americanism, or pecu-
mary interest, or for some other less def
mite reason, has started with the assump-
ton that Spain, or the agents of Spain,
could not have blown up the Maine.
Neither of the first two classes can do
much harm But the third class is capa-
ble If permitted to gain the ascendency,
of running the very foundations of nation
al honor and self-respect. 1t Is with the
deepest regret that The Journal sees the
Secretary of the Navy casting discretion
to the winds. violating his own advice to
the puDllc, anu giving Ills oihCidi SdHStoi
to an opinion of the disaster that springs
not from rational Judgment of facts, but
from mean fears and prejudices.
Mr.. Long and his newspaper allies have
freely advised the public to keep cool
and wait" We return the advice Keep
cool, Mr. Long. Don't make up your
mind too quickly. Wait until the Board
of Inquiry reports before eXcusing Spain
from a responsibility that may be posi-
lively fixed by the evidence at Key West
and Havana.

POTOMAC FISH.
The Shad Season Is About 10 Open
and Promises Well

The fishing season Of the Potomac is
about to open in earnest and prepara-
lions are being made at the most fa-
vorable shores on the river for a big
catch this year.
A few Of the silver-sided beauties
have already found their way to the
city and are included in the bill or
fares Of nearly all the hotels and cafes.
The North Carolina shad have been
in market for some time. but Washing
tonians are partial to the toothsome
Potomac variety, and the former
have not found very good sale. Many
of the Potomac shad now offered for
sale have been kent in cold storage
since last season and are held at fancy
prices. The shad viii not become
plentiful until about Easter. and dur
ing the Lenten season will be rather
high in price.
Some Of the managers and the prin-
cipal shores Which are being put in
readiness for the fishing season are
