RIDING FOR A FALL.
Spain Realizes That War Is the
Easiest Way Out of It.

NEW YORK, March PA "S1n''
cable from London says: 1t is only
within two or three days that the con-
viction has forced itself upon most
Englishmen that war is possible be-
tween the United States and Spain. and
Continental opinion still holds to the
belief that peace will be unbroken.
This view, of course, is distinct from
diplomatic opinion. which has long
recognized the difficulty of a peaceful
solution.
The Spanish people themselves. curl
ously enough, have not realized until
the present week, that hostilities are
really imminent. Madrid correspond
ents are no longer able to telegra ph
the facts about public sentiment or
anything pertaining to war prepara-
tions, and therefore all intelligence
from the Spanish peninsula is under an
embargo.
The suggestion that Spain is now rid
ing for a fall comes from independent
priVatesSources in Madrid to English
men, some Of whom are in the 6iplo-
matte service. 1t is pointed out that
even the Sagasta Ministry is beginning
TO see that war with the United States
Is the easiest way to escape from the
hopeless financial and military situa-
ton. Spain is now a hopeless bankrupt.
and the conquest OF Cuba is impossible.
Nevertheless, debt repudiation would
now involve dishonor whereas If 1t fol-
! lows war With the United States it
would be inevitable and no disgrace.

A Spanish General Says Spain
Would Not Blow UP the Maine.

MADRID. March pa General in
the army. who declines to permit the
use of his name. said that it was in
credible that the report of the American
Court of Inquiry into the Maine dis
aster should attribute the destruction
of the vessel to a submarine mine.
Not even among savages," he as
serted, would such mines be placed in
their ports. Moreover. our own ships
would have incurred equal peril had
the mines been placed in Havana har-
Dor. Mines are only laid in time OF
war and then friendly nations are no.

GERMAN SENTIMENT.

LONDON. March '27.-A dispatch to
the observer" from Berlin saws the
imminent danger Of war between the
United States and Spain is the absorb
ing topic of discussion. Until recently
political and financial circles refused
to credit the probability Of war, but
the report Of the Maine commission dis
sipated this skepticism. There Is great
depression on the Bourse to-day.
German opinion may be summarized
by saying that it refuses to believe that
mine was exploded. It regards the
case as negligence on the part of
Spain. for which the United States is
entitled to compensation, but Spain s
claims on account Of the f1iibustering

The Report on the Maine Disaster
Comments on It.

NEW YORK, March pa Sun
special from Washington says: The
only important feature of to-day's do
lngs. as far as known, is the ascertain
ment of another fact set forth in the
findings of the Naval Court This de-
Velopment is of the greatest interest
and of the utmost Importance. For sew
eral days it has been known almost pos
itively that the Naval Court finds that
the explosion that destroyed the Maine
came from the outside, and that some
kind OF a submarine mine was en-
plOyed to cause it.
To-day the statement is made on the
authority of an official of the Admins
tratiOn, who has seen the report. that
one paragraph of it is devoted to de-
monstrating that the Maine was taken
from buoy t. where she first anchored
and placed at another buoy. where the
explosion occurred, and that she was
piloted from the first to the second
buoy by the Harbor Master of the port
of Havana
This fact is shown by the testimony
of the Harbor Master himself, an Off
Ger of rank and Importance. The find
ings Of the court do not undertake to
state whether the mine was placed at
the second buoy before or after the
Maine was anchored there.

to come to an understanding with the

to come to an understanding with the
hostiles.
1t can be stated upon high authority
the Presidents intention to see that
the war is terminated, when it is
closed, upon terms that will render the
Cubans practically free people. 1t is
not believed that they would ACCEPT
anything less, nor that Americans
would be satisfied if we should encour-
age q settlement that would not be ac-
"eptable to the Cubans If there should
now be an armistice it would be with
the concessions made by Spain at the
instance of this country, that negOtia-
uons should be opened immediately
with the insurgents, looking to the es-
tablishment of permanent peace upon
these terms. 1t has long been the
hope of the Administration to bring
Spain 10 the point of making PROPOSE
tions of this character as the basis of
q settlement that is satisfactory to all
parties, and it is hoped from Spain s
attitude that this time has arrived.
The friends of the Administration
feel that the situation is very delicate
one, and that much will depend upon
the course Congress may pursue. In
the meantime, the President will, on
Wednesday, send his message, asking
that an appropriation be made for the
aid of the destitute Cubans.
The record-union., 1898-03-28

matters are becoming worse, which is
possible. but the provocation Is motor
iouS and scandalous, and if onerous re-
suits are proposed to us the country, en-
masse, faithful to its traditions, will
repel them"
The "Epoca" says that Spain is try
ing to prevent war, considering it a
calamity. and has freely made import
ant concessions, such as autonomy. in
order TO avert it. Spain. the paper con-
tinues, has not lost for single moment
her calm consideration but she cannot
consent to the perpetual intervention
| of Americans and the American Gov
ernment
Ell Heraldo' declares that without
the intervention of the United States
the Cuban insurrection would have been
| reduced to mere brigandage,
IF the revolution continues" says
'El Heraldo," sit is because the rebels
see in America hope Of an ill-starred
| morrow for Spain, and while this hope
exists the insurrection will maintain
sufficient strength slowly to consume
our blood and money. War with the
United States represents, then, the So
luton of the problem. which we must
examine with tranquil minds"
La Nacional'' says it awaits calmly
the approaching denouement.
lei Liberal" referring to dispatches
from Washington attributing to Pres
ident Mckinley a decision to propose
that Spain should free Cuba for an in
demnity, says: THE Government may

people as a whole will not deign to dis
cuss this proposal. Spain will go to
war N fulfilling her duty, but not for
ephemeral glories or the desire Of con-
quest. We may emerge vanquished,
which is somewhat doubtful, but we
will never come out dishonored"

pensable to get ready all the elements

SPANISH TORPEDO FLoTILLA.
1t VIII Not Be Allowed to Come
Farther Than Porto Rico.

BOSTON, March PA Washington
special says: Orders were issued to-day
to prevent the Spanish torpedo flotilla
| coming too near this country. The
Board of Strategy was in session for a
long time, and the utmost caution was
used 20 keep its doings secret: yet it
was learned from unQueStionable au-
thority that the United States Govern
ment had made up its mind to take a
determined stand against the threaten
Ing approach of the fleet of the Dons.
1t is not the intention OF the Depart
ment to send out an American fleet to
meet the Spanish torpedo boats in mid
ocean and compel them to return or
sink them, as the jingoes would have
it do, but to adopt the more pacific
course of permitting the Spaniards to
reach Porto Rico, but drawing the dead
line there.
To this effect orders were issued to
Schley to-day. These orders will be
transmitted to Sampson by messenger
instead of by any of the conversational
methods of Government transmission.
The Department will not even trust
these vital orders to the wires under the
practically perfect safeguard of the of
fetal cipher code so important is it
that the details should not be known.
The members Of the Board of STRAIT
egy, of course, refuse to divulge any
Of the details of the conference, but it
was learned on the highest authority
that it had been decided to place very
formidable obstruction in the way of
the Spanish f1Otilla's passage a single
mile this side of Porto Rico When this
is done, and the frowning guns of
American battleships guard the route
to the West the United States Govern
ment will officially notify Spain that it
will not permit the flotilla to proceed
single mile nearer Havana or the
United States; that it has no objections
to the presence of the fiotilIa at Porto
Rico OF elsewhere, provided it does not
cross the line. and, finally, that should
this ultimatum be disregarded it will
be looked upon by the United States as
declaration of war, and will be acted
upon accordingly

M'KINLEY WILL FEEL SAD.
He Has Not Inspired the Duke Of
Veragua With Confidence.

MADRID. March 27.-The latest in
telligence from the United States has
occasioned a great patriotic movement
throughout Spain. A large number of
persons have announced their intention
to give up a days pay or services to
raise fund to purchase warship.
A committee over which the Bishop
Of Madrid will preside has been organ
lied to receive subscriptions made.
Special theatrical performances are
announced the receipts of which are
to be devoted to this purpose. T
The Duke of Veragua, who knows
President Mckinley personally, is re-
ported as saying: President Mckinley
does not inspire me with confidence
He thinks himself the first statesman
in the world. He is proud and vain,
and his great vanity makes him be-
lieve himself a Napoleon, when in real
ity he is an ignored suffer-
1t is reported that the Conservatives
intend to propose that the troops in
the interior of Cuba should withdraw
to the coast until the Autonomists and
ScparatistS arrive at an agreement,
but it is not expected that the Cortes
will entertain such proposal. The
situation in Cuba Is declared to-day to
be much improved"
The record-union., 1898-03-28

more like war than it did two weeks
ago. To my mind the action of Spain
in sending a formidable fiotilla of tor
pedo-Doats to Cuba forms an incident
that is more Warlike than any of the
features of the Maine disaster or of the
complications growing out of the op-
preston and starvation of the Cubans.
The question of indemnity to this
Government for the loss of the Maine
might be settled by a court of nations
or other form of arbitration On the
other hand, it seems to me that this
Government would certainly be war
ranted in taking steps toward interven-
ton N the Spanish-Cuban difficulties.
The terrible outrages committed by the
Spanish among the Cubans can no
longer be endured. The reports are
from trustworthy sources, and indicate
that intervention on grounds of human
ity would be entirely justified"
