War Measures Being Rushed Through
Congress - Democrats Stand by the
Administration-The President Asks for
Fifty Millions for National Defense,
For the time all other questions are
subordinate to the one of war. In army
circles it is accepted as foregone that
war between Spain and the United
States Is inevitable and Congress is
rushing appropriation bills through
with feverish activity. The temper OF
the body is best shown by the utter
ances of Rep. Bailey, of Texas, the
leader of the democratic side, who said:
The situation appears to he growing
NOR ,critical every day and what man
might say with propriety now, he might
wish week from now that he had left
unsaid.
Ten days ago l would have voted
against the bill adding two artillery
regiments to the army. Now | am
ready to increase it to any extent that
may be necessary to defend US against
the aggressions or insults of foreign
nations.

II sincerely believe that if this con
gress at tie extra session had passed
res button recognizing the belligerency
of the Cuban patriots, Cuba would have
been tree before now, and the threaten
ed collision between the Spanish gov
eminent and the United States would
have been averted. That. however, was
not done, and although we may take
occasion to call the Republican party
to account for not doing it, we must
deal with the situation now as it is, and
not as we think it ought to have been.
1--WE feel that the president has moved
too slowly. He has simply postponed
the crisis without averting it. Nothing
is more clearly written than that the
island of Cuba is to be free. The United
States is bound in honor to take decisive
action. / believe that this country is
on the verge of war. Certainly it is
nearer a foreign war than it has been
since our war with Mexico, and perhaps
nearer than any nation ever was that
escaped IT."
When the bill passed creating two
new regiments of artillery but little ex-
element was created until Mr.. Hay
Dem., Va.) declared that he stood
ready to vote for any measure to pre-
pare for the emergency which confront
ed the country. Such utterance show
the temper of the representatives and
back of them stand the people. After
a consultation with the president Rep.
Cannon OF the committee as appropria-
tons introduced bill appropriating
$50, 900, 900 for national defense. There
/ is every indication that the bill will be
rushed through. The government has
been advised that the Spanish COVER
ment is assembling a fleet of war
vessels and torpedo boats which when
ready will be despatched to Cuba. 1t
is also advised of the presence of Span
ish agents in England who are buying
munitions of war. These dispatches
have had no dlsquieting influence as the
government expects that Spain will take
these steps. The navy department
announced last Monday that the cruiser
Montgomery would relieve the dispatch
boat Fern at HAVANA, and that the
fern would carry provisions and relief
supplies to Matanzas and Sagua Ia
Grande. This is understood to be a
satisfactory arrangement to the Spanish
government, and will relieve the sending
OF relief to the Cubans of its most
irritating features and still preserve the
stand taken by this government from
the first. Leaving war questions anC
