ANCIENT WAR HISTORY
AS PRESERVED IN OFFICIAL
RECORDS
Long Before War Was Declared the
Far-Seeing Mckinley Knew It
Was Coming

WASHINGTON, Dec, 22.-Despite the
vigorous denials made at the time, it is now
a matter of public record that President
lMcKinley's administration became con-
vinced at least as long ago as the first day
OF January that war with Spain was prob
able if not inevitable.
Official dispatches have just been made
public which establish this fact completely
In January Admiral Selfridge was in COM
mand OF the European station and on jan
uary ii, 1893, he was instructed to retain
his sailors in spite of the expiration of en-
lstment. Five days later the gunboat
Helena, at Funchal, Madeira, which had
been ordered to the Asiatic station received
orders marked "secret and confidential" to
delay its departure and the next day it was
ordered to Lisbon. At the same time, Cap
tam Chester, in command of the South At
lantlc squadron, received confidential dis
patch directing him TO announce unofficially
that the cruisers Cincinnati and Castine
would 60 to the northern boundary of his
station for drill and exercise, then proceed
to Para, Brazil, without causing com.
ment."
The same day, which was January 18th,
the Wilmington, at Guadalupe, received in
structions cancelling its orders to go to
South America, and retaining it in the
Windward Islands, without touching at
Spanish ports. Commodore Dewey, at Yo-
kohama, as early as January 9th, was in
structed to disregard enlistments and keep
his sailors. The Maine was blown up Jan.
uary 18th; ten days later Theodore Roose-
welt sent to Dewey the first warlike dispatch
OF the administration, which read:
Secret and confidential. Order the
SOIadrOn Moponoo,. -
Keep full of coal. In the event of declara-
tion OF war with Spain your duty will be
to see that the Spanish squadron does not
leave the Asiatic coast, and to begin often
sive operations in the Philippine Islands.
Keep Olympia until further orders"
The Monocacy was practically useless and
the Olympia was under orders to- return
home: The day after Roosevelt's stirring
dispatch to Dewey, Secretary Long sent dis
patches to Chester in the Barbardoes, Mil
Ter at Honolulu, Howell at Lisbon, Dewey
at Hong Kong and Sicard at Key West, ali
of which read significantly
Keep full of coal-the best that can be

ion of war, in ordering the Brooklyn to
Hampton Roads to leave the flying squad.
preston:
'.Ths, situation is getting worse"
April 7th, little over two weeks before
the declaration of war, Commodore Dewey
was cabled:
Land all woodwork, stores, ETC., it is not
considered necessary to have for operation"
an order which, of course, contemplated
nothing less than an attack On the Philip.
