There is but way the Spanish government
could quiet the Cubsn espital--by reinstating
Weyler. And it might be said with confidence
that the American Government would order the
blockadng captains TO close their eyes if it we're
understood WevIer was attempting 10 get back
to Havana! His. presence en- the island once
more captain general would be worth much
to this country. His utter incompetency, the
bold had breaks he would make. the passonat=
hatred and activity with which his presence
would inspire the Cubans, would be of invaluable
service TO us. With all Blancos innocent bag
gadocio and Bombast, he is a much ADLER man
than Weyler and generally supposed TO be far
braver officer.
But the delight OF America would be in get
ting at the most infamous monster OF the century
in crushing him, and then, after he had fallen
into hsnd7 in consiening him for a few
months to ore OF the dungeons OF MORO or
Cabanas fortress where 50 many OF his victims
have rotted Possibly a searching inquiry after
the fall of Havana would disclose Weyler's con-
nection with the destruction of the Maine, and
it would be pleasant to have him in cur hands
at such time.
1t is hardly possible that Spain viii send
Weyler back to Cuba but we could ask no more
of the enemy than that they would restore Wey-
Ter to his former command in Havana Spain
ought TO see her way TO do this-it would quiet

What Win Spain Do.

Reviewing the conditions which con-
front Spain at this time, the question is
pertinent: How far will she 60 Ee-
fore bowling to an inexorable fate and
making peace on the best terms obtain
able from victorious America?
In less than two and a half months
the kingdom has sustained the total
loss Of two squadrons, including all Of
its best vessels, with the single excep-
tion of the battleship Pelayo. Her col
onies have melted away during these
short weeks like snow driven before a
Biscay gale. Cuba, Porto Rico. the
Philippines and Ladrone Islands are
prizes of the conqueror. and~ very
short continuation Of the losing fight
will place the American flag over the
Canary. Caroline and Balearic Islands
and Ceuta. How. long, then. will Spain
keep up her mad resistance to destruc-
tive force and unlimited resources?
II would be natural TO think that the
futility Of further warIike operations
should so clearly appeal TO what little
sense the Spanish ruling class may be
supposed to have, that a plea for mercy
would come to Washington as fast as
an Atlantic cable could bring it. There
is not doubt that the American people
are ready TO treat with the enemy upon
the most liberal terms. In addition to
all of her late territory in the Western
Hemisphere and in the Far East. we
should only insist upon cash indemni-
Y for the cost of the war. the value of
the battleship Maine, and of the yes
sells which Admiral Cervera has so
ruthlessiy wrecked rather than let them
fall into our hands.
Two weeks, or even one week, hence
public sentiment might compel Prasi-
dent Mckinley to be less lenient with
the Zoe. and. hence, it is now the
part of wisdom for Spain to set
down on her knees and beg, without
wasting any more time about it,
