fectual in order to be valid and bind

the blockading power with the right to
of infringing its provisions, the block
aiding power must have a sufficient
naval force along the blOckaded coast
to entail danger upon any neutral ship
attempting to pass the line.
Now, there has always remained q
doubt as to what constituted a "suf-
ficient force" The Spaniards will GER
tainly insist that even the presence Of
a mere torpedo boat or destroyer. with
an armed liner as escort to keep her
properly supplied with coal, ammunf-

to blockade the port of New York, even

TO develop into a dispute between ths

A DamnabIe Conspiracy.

Last evening there came to light
most despicable, atrocious and damna-
BILE conspiracy to throw dirt upon the
memory of the heroes Of the Maine, and
to discredit and defame Capt Sigsbee,
the Board of Inquiry and Consul Cen
eral FitZhugh Lee.
Friends of the Administration were
industriously circulating the report that
the officers of the Italian cruiser Amer
| igo Vespucci, which has just con-
yeniently come here from Havana, sat
isfied themselves while there that the
Maine blew up from an internal eX-
plosion; that French naval officers who
have also arrived opportunely in Wash
| inton, and who We're in Havana at the
| time of the disaster, say the same
| thing; and that Commodore Schley ex-
| pressed like opinion in the Maryland
| Club at Baltimore the day after the
massacre.
The object of this plot is as obvious
as it is vile. 1t is to throw doubt upon
the Maine report, and to create a sem
| timent in Congress and among the pub
| lie which will tend to discredit the reve-
lations that Gen. F'itzhugh Lee is COM
| ing prepared to make before the Senate
| Committee on Foreign Relations. 1t is.
| further to prepare the way to rele-
gate the one undeniable and legitimate
casus belli to the limbo of diplomatic
| incidents, and clear the Congressional
| deck for the President to board with
| his armistice and reconcentrado policy
This treacherous scheme will not
work. The whole American people will
| revolt against it. Mr.. Mckinley knows,
| because he has overwhelming proof,
| that the Maine was destroyed by q
| Spanish government mine, fired at the
| direct instigation of the hyena WeyIer
| by three Spanish military officials Of
high rank in Havana, He knows that
Capt. Sigsbee and Gen. Lee can sub
stantiate this, and yet he allows his
| friends to nose around town spreading
| a. false report which, if it were true.
J would forever disgrace some of the
| finest officers and gentlemen in our ma
val service, and cover with shame the
| honored name of a national hero, who
/ may get here to find himself persona
| non Srdtd Will lHe AuiliillSt4 dlioll' bc-
cause he knows too much and person.
ally is vastly too popular with Ameri-
| can citizens of all parties.
| The treason of Benedict Arnold was
not a bit worse than this last desperate
conspiracy OF a gang to whom Ameri-
can honor is hollow mockery, weighed
in the balance against one dirty little
! Spanish coupon.
The nation will not forget or side
track the Maine, Mr., President! And
| Congress would better not. That is the
war issue, and all others must get out
of its way.

Remember the Mainei

Mark Hanna regards the Presidents s
message as an excellent and conserva-
tive document That also is the view
taken OF it by John j. McCook; but
what does Congress think about it? 1t
was received in both houses by floors
and galleries in grim and gloomy 81
lence Why? Because it did not have
a line or a word of true American pa
triotism in it from the address to the
signature! Because it was not the
ringing call to arms that the nation
Spain and a plea for the Spanish bond
sharks, thinly and transparently yelled
under the language of platitudinous
piety.
In the meantime the country waits
upon Congress to decree the vengeance
which America demands for her mas
sacred sons, whose horrible sufferings
under Spanish official treachery have
made the worlds flesh creep. Sharks
in Spanish waters, and worms in the
damp and noisome field for unbelievers
in Havana's cemetery, feed upon their
corpses. No honest American word has
yet been uttered that would look like
the exaction of retribution for their
murder.
Far from that, it is said that the good
President has been moved to tears by
the representative of the Vatican, who
told him how Christina, the poor wild
ow, was trying to save Cuba for her
boy, the grandson of the infamous Isa-
bella. If he wept for the innocents
whom he knew were being raped, tor
tured and butchered by Weyler, the fact
has never been exposed. If he has lost
and final butchery of the Philadelphia
dentist, DR.. Ruiz, we have never heard
of it. If the mute appeal of the mas
sacred heroes of the Maine has ever
reached his ears, history must find it
out hereafter!
But Hanna reigns,. and the stock tick
er, though slightly disfigured, is still
! in the ring! Congress also is in the
| ring. We hope not-in that of the stock
ticker, although as to some persons we
have suspicious, concerning which more

Happy Mr.. Sherman.

We note with pleasure and yet with
some surprise that the Hon. John Sher-
man, whose name figures in the Blue
Book as Secretary of State, has had
nothing to do with the settlement of
the Spanish-Cuban question.
When the representatives of the al
lied European powers We're presenting
the communications of their sovereigns
Mr.. Sherman was engaged in New York
at a meeting of the directors of a small
railroad somewhere near Mansfield, o.
This is a safe distance from Spanish
warships, no matter how far they can
shoot.
1t will be solacing reflection to Mr..
Sherman in the next century that in
this vexing and vexatious Spanish bust
ness he did-nothing. Sufficient unto
the Day was sufficient unto the whole
State Department.
The times., 1898-04-12

the hapless victims of Spanish treach-
cry are food for the fishes and worms
of Spain in Cuba?
The American people are not to be
again put to sleep by the platitudes of
pious peace or the grim humor OF holy
humanity. awakened on one side by the
desperate straits of McCook, and on
the other by the peril of Alfonso XIII,
Mr.. Mckinley could get along very
comfortably while Weyler was tortur-
ing. burning, raping and butchering the
innocents. And even to this day he has
appeared placidly tolerant of the
crowning Spanish crime of all. Nor
have the shrieks and dying groans of
outraged, murdered Catholic women,
girls and babies invoked the thunders
of the church until now the Spanish
throne is seen to totter to its fail.
Let the dead past with its errors and
callousness go; we have greater busi-
ness, We Americans, to transact today,
and in the days of vengeance that are
| to come. Protestant, Catholic, Jew and
heather, all of us in this great ma
| ton, are united in a common creed and
in a common crusade. There are no
divisions among the masses of Amer
lea at this juncture; no thought or
| recollection of differences on account
Of race, religion or politics. We have

civilization and mankind Nothing less
will appease the national wrath. To
the devil with Intervention" on hu-
| manitarian or any other hypocr7Tlcal
grounds. We must have retribution
and the freedom of Cuba without a
cent of tribute to her late oppressor
and prosecutor,
Remember the Mainel
