coming of the Spanish fleet is untrue.
They wish them to come either to at
tempt to relieve the Cuban blockade
or to attempt to attack our coast cities.
Should they do either they would
give us an opportunity to put speedy
end to the war by destroying the
Spanish navy. While hoping for
their coming, the average naval Off
Ger believes that we shall have to cross
the Atlantic before getting an oppor-
tunity to fight the Spanish navy.
While the administration is not
disposed to indulge in any boasting
or to cross any bridges before they
are reached, it can be stated upon I'M
questionable authority that this gov
eminent will not change its policy or
methods ofconducting the war against
Spain for any diplomatic protest from
Europe, whether made by one nation
or six nations in concert, not even if
supported by naval demonstration
in force, such as France appears to be
threatening to make. 1t was known
when Commodore Dewey was ordered
to proceed to the Philippine Islands
and capture port to be used as a
base of supplies for our Asiatic squad
ron that European protests were like
ly to be made against such action, but
that did not change or affect in any
way the orders. We are not inviting
trouble with any other European ma
ton, but if any of them feel disposed
to give Spain something more sub
stantial than their moral support they
will not stampede us with fright.
Such action would only mean an ex-
tension of the war; it would not
change the result-victory for the
United States.

against majority of the Democrats.
1t is but justice to say that those who
oppose this bill claim not to be actu-
ated by any desire to hamper the
fighting power of the government.
They seem to have an idea that the
issue of bonds authorized by the bill
the only quick way to raise large
sum of money is in some way an in
fringement Of the rights of their idol,
the silver Mumbo Jumbo, and they
are therefore opposed to it. The peo-
pie will probably mostly agree with
the Republicans, that this is an al
mighty poor time to be splitting hairs
over the financial question.
AS some recent visitors to Wash
ington have expressed surprise TO find
all kinds of government business 60
ing on just as though there was no
war, it may be we'll to state that the
war has not and will not interrupt in
the slightest degree the business of
the Patent Office, the Pension Office,
or of any bureau of the civil depart
ments of the government. To fight
the war to successful end is impor-
tant, but a continuation of the mater
ial progress of the country is far more

President Mckinley has every reason
to feel highly gratified with the prog
ress of the war as we'll as with the
progress of the preparations for more
active work. Our new navy has
shown itself to be worthy successor
to the old navy, the fighting record of
which has never been surpassed under
any flag. This week the army is to
have its first chance of participating
in the war, unless the reported coming
of the Spanish fleet changes the Presi-
dents programme. A landing in
Cuba is to be made by portion OF
the regular army. for the purpose of
establishing base of supplies for the
Cuban army and giving it chance to
see what it can do when it has modern
arms and plenty of ammunition, while
the volunteer army is being gotten
into good fighting shape. Naval of

preparing to extend a most royal
welcome to the visiting Epworth hosts
