May Weaken on His Message.

udy weaken on HIS message.
 Mckinley may weaken on his promised message asking congress to appropriate $500,000 for the relief of the Cuban recon centrados. It will be denied him unless 1t is to be distributed by military author ity of this government. Here is another weak point in McKinley's alleged policy. He is afraid it will offend Spain and Wall street has said to him, Spain must be pacifed and its insults passed by as the idle wind.
 Spain has about played her last card. Her latest attempt at proposed autonomy was as though sparring for time. It mat ters little what Spain may now propose. Her offices at diplomacy have no weight with congress. There are new men now on the bridge and Spain must soon know what it is to face the United States in hostli- ties or acknowledge the weakness of it's position. To avert war now seems an utter impossiblity. McKinley's attempt to dwarf the importance of the Maine incident will not be allowed to pass by. Congress will make it the great hinge upon which will swing the door opening to the conflict.
 The conference of many state delegations Of the house today was significant. In those western states like Michigan, Illinois and Indiana, where McKinleyism has stood adamant, every republican congressman declared himself ready to take leave of the president. This tells the story.
 Hoping for spain's Withdrawal
 Mckinley tonight is hoping to have Spain withdraw it's forces from Cuba and settle the matter without hostiities. He is doing this fearing war. He will concilate Spain if he can. Spain may have sufficient wis., dom to fear the result, should it come to a settlement by force, and that may cause her to back down, though in doing so she will have to give up Cuba. The remainder or this week promises marked develop~ ments, and before Saturday night condi- tions may be so changed in this country that the most active preparations will be in progress preparatory for the real on- slaught.
 At late hour tonight additional con- ferences were held between the lawyers of both parties in the house, providing that the republicans will vote for the adop- tion of war resolutions, and the demo- crats not to attempt the defeat of the naval bill by riders

SO far as the result Of the war is con-

and Its cause and purposes with regard
to Cuba, II is already In sight, and the

The President Is receiving q great deal
Of praise for his altitude In the selection
OF general officers for the war. It is
noted, with satisfaction everywhere,
that political considerations have been
totally ignored by him, and that his Sc
lections are made with q view to the
military experience and education of
those in whose hands he Is placing the
responsibilities. He Is drawing for his
general officers upon tho regular army
and the veterans of the. civil war, re-
gardless OF which side they fought on.
For reglmental officers similar drafts
are made, In some cases recognizing ell
Client officers OF the National Guard also.
This policy Is commencing Itself 70 the
good sense and the patriotism Of the
country. Judging from selections al
ready made, 1t Is clearly the purpose OF
the President 10 avoid any accusation
that he Is putting politicians IN guard.
Referring to this agreeable fact, a on
temporary, the New York Press, notes
the Importance OF careful selections of
officers, and says: This country has
never before had n war In which the
necessity OF scientific, or, at least, ex-
perienced, military leadership was so
marked as this one. For v before
has there been q time when the care OF
troops on the march and in camp. ever

surrender the Island soon. as a result Of

there will be little fighting away from

troops will be the reductions of towns.
dispersion OF guerrilla bands. &c.,
throughout the island, and discipline

newspaper above quoted notes a phase
of this subject which has mot affected

that certain members Of Congress have
been urging the appointment for this

The End 10 Siaat.

It Is the. sense Of the diplomats of the
world. as well as OF most other well
posted and intelligent thinkers, that the
war will be OF short duration. Spain
cannot hold out for a long fight, even
were the government unembarrassed by
the grave crisis at home. which may
force an entire abandonment of any fur
ther defense against the United States
and d surrender 10 the demand of this
country. Without this consideration.
even, the Spanish government Is fluan-
cially unable to make a contest; her
naval fleets ore at O disadvantage,
which will make an easy victory for the
United States probable, and every ele-
ment of the situation Is against her.
Military and naval experts are not rom
templating a long war. though this gov
eminent is making it's movements on the
line that it will not be short. which Is q
. proper %precaution.
But aside from this consideration, the
presumption that the Spanish forces
cannot cope with those OF tho United
States. Spain is doomed to a worse hu-
initiation, caused by the attitude Of the
people at home. The history that Is be-
Ing made at the Spanish capital and In
come OF the provinces has q more direct
bearing on the situation just at present
than tho result OF a battle at sea may
nave. Every element of a long civil
Y war at home Is looming up, and the dark
cloud which lowers over Spain's domcs-
tic afalrs may burst Into u storm any
day or hour. While protesting loyalty
as against the United States, the revolu-
donary and other disturbing elements OF
Spain have no intention OF missing the
opportunity which the events that are
happening are affordlng them.
With many OF the leading towns and
cities OF Spain undo. martial law al
z ready, with the mutter!nss OF the people
heard on every hand, with the dynasty
tottering. with bankruptcy OF the treas.
ury, with no real helping hand held out

hnue the war with the United States
with The slightest hope OF anything cx-
cept utter defeat in everything?
spain IS Just now reading the hand
writing on the wall. Her public men,
