Wise Procedure.

1t is gratifying that Congress has taken
action along such lines in dealing with
Cuba that there is no possibility of clash
between the legislative body and the cx-
ecutive. This wise course is satisfactory
to all those citizens who have hoped and
prayed for honorable and speedy action In
aid of the sta:vlng Cubans and in rebuke
Of the Spanish disregard for American
lives and property. and who have yet been
fearful lest by unwise courses the Congress
might precipitate an embarrassing differ
cnce between it and the President AS tn.
case stands today there is harmony all
along the line. The utterance of Congress
is strong and beyond any possibility Of
being misunderstood. 1t means the free
dom OF Cuba and the expulsion and humil-
iation of Spain for her many crimes against
civilization and humanity. 1t preserves to
the President his full prerog Atives. 1t is.
in FACE, the happiest solution of the prob
lem that could well have been evolved out
of the very complex conditions that existed
u week ago.

DECLARING Wur,

The resolutions passed last night by Con-
gress and signed today by the President in
reference 10 the Cuban situation are far
from constituting a form al declaration of
war III the historic and accepted meanin-
of that phrase. Indeed. the modern prac-
tice Is distinctly against any direct procla-
nation of hostillties. The Romans held De-
culiar views of national warfare Their
Judgment was that the horrors and dread
consequences Of war might be invoked IL
the nation approached the deed soiemnly,
formally. religiously. Therefore the priests
were vested with the function of declaring
war, doubtless inspired by the powers of
government. The ceremony of declaring
war was formal and elaborate 1t partook
Of the character OF a religious festival. and
the solemn character OF the rites was held
to absoive the nation from any degree of
responsibility for the death and destruc-
ton incidental to hostillties. As the world
grew smaller In relative size through the
1eyising of better methods of Transmitting
information and of transportation there
was less reason for thi. practice of giving
formal and definite notice to q public en-

The United state. and Cuba.

Spain asks Europe to believe that the
course Of the United States with respect
TO Cuba has not only been highhanded, but
unwarranted. But she does not explain the
conditions which have made the case of
Cuba altogether exceptional
Never since the United States began
tracing It's present boundaries has Cuba
been Spain's to do with as she pleased.
There has never been a day in the past
eighty years when she would have been
permitted to part with the island to a
stronger power than herself or, indeed, to
any European power. She herself has well
understood this. She has never protested
against it, The reason was obvious. The
United States had no fear of Spain as an
antagonist. but it would lot permit strong
power to acquire territory which in the
event of war could be made the base Of
destructive operations against American in
terests.
The assertion of American rights in Cuba
is therefore no rev thing. The case for
many years has stood thus we'll defined
Cuba must remain Spanish territory or
when the United States desired to acquire
the island itself. and several money offers
were made for it. But Spain declined to
sell, and, as an open, fair transaction was
the only kind this government had in view
the project was abandoned
American rights in Cuba have increased
with the islands development and with
this couatry's CONNER cial growth. The
United States is the natural market for
Cubas productions, and in turn is able
to supply the island with all that it needs
at much lower figure than can be obtain
ed elsewhere. And so it is that peace for
Cuba is something the United States may
in all reason demand.
1t demands peace for the island now and
1t points to the record to sustain the as
sertion that Spain is unable to command
the peace. And since she cannot she must
leave. The United States does not desire
Cuba, and an Independent government
there becomes not only the logical con-
clusion of the complication, but the only
one this government will permit.
Spain could not sustain herself in any
high tribunal. She makes a bluff of ap-
pealing the Case merely because she knows
it is too late

there will be no actual communication with
the insurgents. 1t would be far safer for
these commissioners to follow such a line
of action. The receptions that have been
accorded to other emissaries sent to treat
with the Cubans on some other basis than
Independence do not warrant the belief that
the latter will be inclined now. in the face
Of almost certain victory, to change their

The Case Well Made Up.

Congress has risen fully to the Cuban
emergency. We have in the resolutions
adopted the American case strongly set
forth, with every essential feature included.
The country will approve. the President
will act and the result-let US all hope that
1t may be speedily reached-is bound to be
triumph for the American arms.
As The Star stated few days ago. there
has been no haste or passion on the part
of this government in dealing with this
momentous matter. The subject has been
approached slowly, and with full recognition
of all the interests involved. The cost has
been carefully considered. The deliberate
Judgment of the administration. the Con-
gress and the country was tfat the United
States owed debt to freedom. to human
ity and to itself which it must pay, and
the sooner the better. The account has
been cast up. and the settlement is now to
begin.
Homilies upon the horrors of war are not

of sp .culatiCn to what there may be in
the business for us is scarcely worth MOTTO

men that war IS not peace: that it is ex-

unwilling to take their proper place in the

United States to do.
A piece of this thoroughly unwelcome
work has now been devolved on this gov
eminent. There Is nothing in it in the way
of territory or money for us. There will be
no glory in simple victory over Spain. Our
reward-which will be ample-will take al
together another form. There will be pay
enough in helping to establish good govern

treacherous and murderous government

envy of a purpose to attack him with all
the forces Of the state. and the deliberate
and ceremonial enunciatlon Of that fnten-
ton was permitted to fall into disuse. Such
declarations continued to be made. how
ever. until the end of the seventeenth CEN
fury. In medieval time the heralds-at-
arms were sent forth by the sovereign in
tending to open hostilities and commanded
to proclaim his intention. The war be-
tween France and Spain in 1885 was thus
begun. Modern practice has been decidedly
adverse to this custom. and there are few
instances in recent history of state open
ing war with formal notice to it's an

begun through the meeting Of a body of
colonial patriots and force of the kings

ty-three years ago today. The struggle
was Inevitable. but it was rot preceded by
formal declaration. other than the dec
laration Of rights passed by the Cont
mental Congress in the preceding Septem-
Der An English writer in the course of a
recent review of such matter showed that
the declaration of war has for many years
been SO rare as to be a diminishing excep-
tion. The resolutions just passed and sign
ed contain. to be sure. every potentiality
for war and in the minds Of practically all
persons will lead directly to an outbreak
Of hostilities. Herbert w. Bowen, a re-
cent writer on international law-curiously
enough his work was completed at BARGE

rounding the war-making prerogative:
There Is no special formality prescribed
by International law for the declaration of

Iy, however. actual hostilities are, or should
De, preceded by some kind of notice that
they may possibly, or will probably or in
evftably. be begun. Thus the possibility of
war may be inferred from the withdrawal
OF nations diplomatic agent from the
OFFENDING nation: or from an ultimatum,
or definite demand, to be complied with
within fixed time: or from reprisals or
other acts indicating an intention to get
satisfaction: while the conclusion that war
Is probable or inevitable may be arrived at
from the very situation of a dispute from
the concentration of forces on frontiers,
from votes of war supplies and from the
pubic statements of those having the war
making power.
Many of these conditions fit the present
state of the case exactly. The mere fact
that Saturday evening the Senate by
very large majority negatived Senator
Morgan's resolution formally declaring war
on Spain in no wise affects the extreme
probabilities of the near future

When this government succeeded In pur-

States In spite of the San Jose scale, al
legged cattle diseases and the traces Of zinc
on the dried apples imported from these
