commissioner, viii arrive here tomorrow.
Primarily these officials have met to
open the negotiations for commercial trea-
ties between the United States, Spain

wider range.

senor Cadrana's arrived. the Spanish min
lister has conferred with Commissioner
Kasson with a view OF making general ar
rangements for the opening OF the nego-
tiations.

Advises That the Maine Controversy

Lancaster, Pa, March 1S.-Ex-P -Postmas-
ter General wanamaker continued his
gubernatorial campaign in this county by
addressing big mass meeting tonight in
the borough of Eprata. In the course of
his address. he said:
1T is not a question Of De LONE the
discarded minister of Spain. and President
Mckinley.
1T is question of principles. Stripped
of all verbiage. it is a serious, undownable
question of right and wrong.
I'm times of peace Spain stands for the
same custody of our battleship Maine that
America stood for Spain's battleship Viz
caya, while she was afioat in New York
harbor.
Spain must make an accounting for our
buried ship and entombed seamen-for the
dignity of our flag. We are not fixing the
responsibilities of the present situation or
indulging in untimely reflection.
do we demand war? Neverl Since
Lee's surrender at Appomattox the birds
have built their nests in the cannon's
mouth and our swords have been beaten
into pruning hooks and plowshares or
shelved in museums to Illustrate the his
tory of emancipation for millions of the
blacks.
But we do, unitedly and increasingly,
insist upon all possible reparation for, the
sinking of the Maine, and, above all, for
honors due to the flag of a peaceful ma
ton.
"Superbly has our President held him
self in this irritating and distractng time,
and nobly has our Congress supported
him. 1t is better 10 be slow than to be
rude, and il is better to be right than
to be rash; but caution and resoluteness
and rigid justice must march abreast to
maintain the dignity of the United States
the greatest republic of the earth.

relations between the nations be referred
for adjustment to five of our sister ma
tons, two to be chosen by the United
States and two by Spain, and these four

Says Spain Would Raise RevoIts in

Vienna, March 1S.-The Neue Freie
Presse publishes an interview with a
Spanish statesman, evidently the Marquis
de Hoyos, the Spanish ambassador, who is
represented as saying: Spain would rath-
er have war with the United States than
pay compensation for the Maine, for by
the latter course she would forfeit her hon
or through an admission of guilt, which
would erase her name from the list of civ
iized nations
at could not be England's interest to see
the Spaniards expelled from Cuba, as
there might arise at Washington an inclin-
alton to declare Canada's independence. If
during a war the United States should in
cite the Philippines to revolt Spain could
revenge herself by raising revolts in the
American Southern states"

rfe Guns for Warsaw.
Washington, March Ex-senator Bacon
Is taking an active interest in securing
ample protection for Savannah harbor
and the entire Georgia soast, in the event
of trouble with Spain.
He called at the war department TODAY
and had long talk with Secretary Alger
and Gen. Wilson of the engineer corps
relative to Warsaw sound and the APP
proaches to Savannah harbor
The board of engineers, having in
charge the subject of coast defenses, are
now considering the protection of the en-
tire coast, Warsaw sound included. Mod
ern Notifications such as are constructed
at Tybee and Charleston, cannot be erect
ed in day or a week. They require from
six months to a year for building.
Gen. Wilson assured Senator Bacon
that arrangements have already been
made to protect Warsaw in case of an
emergency with rapid firing guns and
submarine torpedoes, which can be placed
in short order, within a few DAYS If nee
essary. At Brunswick and other noints
along the Georgia coast, similar precau-
tions are being taken, so that Savannah
and contiguous sea coast cities may be
quickly and successfully defended against
attack by any foreign enemy.
1--WE hope to keep the Spanish navy so
busy that her ships will not have time
to creep up on our coast cities" added
Senator Bacon, "but should they try to
get into our harbors they will be met
with rapid firing guns. of the most mod
ern design, and submarine torpedoes
which would easily repel the enemy"
