belief that war is inevitable is universal,

United States. The papers contain also
numerous articles specializing upon rhe
effect of war upon securities, the mar

The Times says editorially:
Spain's note to the powers can have
no effect except perhaps, to delay the

Concerning the insurgent government,
General Lee said he had never thought
that the insurgents had anything ex-

General Lee said that when he left
Havana the Spanish troops had not been
paid for about nine months, nor had the
Spanish officers for about four months.
He thought that an American army of
occupation could go into the island with
safety now.
Admiral John Irwin, a torpedo expert
appeared before the committee on the

yana harbor, and said in effect, the fact
that there were no dead fish the day
after the explosion was not surprising, as
there were no fish there.

the Maine, was examined March 31st.
He repeated his opinion that the Maine
was destroyed by mine, either floating

advantage in case of war to dispose of
