PROTESTS WILL BE UNHEEDED
IF SPAIN OBJECTS LOADED GUNS
MAY CONyO2 RELIEF PARTIES.
Mr.. Mckinley Assured by Legislators
and the People that His Policy
VIII Have Their Support.
Yesterdays DEVELOPMENTS.

War with Spain is now regarded
possible, If not probable, vvheth-
er or not the naval court of in
quiry reports that the Maine was
blown up by design. The President
is said to have determined on a
policy that will strain our reIa-
tiOns with Spain to sach "a point
that hOstflities cannot be averted,
unless the Spaniards humble their
pride to the utmost. Nr. McI&in-
Iey's plan Is to intervene in behalf
of the starving recOncentradOs in
Cuba-that is, he Will cndeavOr to
stop the atrocities growing out of
WeyIer's policy, and send food to
the thousands of sick and dying,
even IL it is necessary to send a
military and naval force to deliver
the supplies. 1t is not believed
Spain would sanction such method
of succOring her victims, and Con-
gressmen are therefore of opinion
that war is inevitable. Public SEN
timent seems to have induced the
President to adopt the programme
here outlined.
The report of the United States
naval court of inquiry into the loss
Washington i'm the custody of
Lieutenant Commander Mark,
Judge advocate of the court. He
sailed from Key West yesterday
afternoon at A o'clock for Miami,
Fla, where he will take the train
for the capital. The report will
probably reach the President
Thursday night or Friday morn
ing. He will examine 1T carefully,
and If it duplicates Spanish officials
in the destruction of the ship, n
demand Will at once be made
through Minister WoOdfOrd for
reparatiOn. Then the President
will transmit the report to Con-
gress, probably ON Monday or
Tuesday, with a message relatiDg
what action he has taken. The re-
port is VOlum in ous, and is believed
to sustain the externaI-expIOsiOn
theory.
The Cabinet discussed all phases
of the Spanish Cuban situation, in
Guiding the possibility of interven-
tion. 1t is hoped Spain will real
ize the necessity of taking radical
action herself, and thus avert the
humiliation of the loss of Cuba
through interference of another
power.
The Navy and War departments
are still actively engaged i'm prep
arations for war. The cities of the
big lakes are to be secured for ca
pabIe seamen and machinists who
desire to enter the navy. One
small torpedo boat was purchased
yesterday, and work ON those un-
der contract is being pushed day
and night.
The naval appropriation bill, re-
ported to the House, provides for
three of the most formidable line
of-bnttIe ships that can be con-
structed, six torpedo boats, six
tOrpedO-bOat destroyers, one gun
bont. and FIVE dry docks capable of
meeting the requirements of the
largest vessels.
According to a dispatch from Ha-
vana, the efforts of General PAN
dos representatives to induce the
Cuban leaders to lay down their
arms and accept autonomy proved
fruitIess.
Madrid advices report great ac-
tivity i'm ST Ianish naval circles and
evident prepa ra tiOns for war. The
tone of the press has grown PES
simistic.

The Presidents Coming Message.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Speaking of
the Cuban situation, the Post tomorrow
will say: Having formulated no plan to
solve the problem, and being anxious to
gain all the time possible, the President will
not Immediately make any suggestion to
Congress. The message which he will send
in on Monday will treat alone of the Maine,
and Congress will be informed that the
President will, at later date, communicate
with it on the Cuban situation. The report
on the Maine and the accompanying papers
will, therefore, be at once referred in both
houses to the committee on foreign affairs,
and then Congress will anxiously and pa
tiently await the Presidents next recon-
mendaton. If the policy of relief be finally
agreed on, an appropriation will undoubt-
edly be made for the purchase of supplies
and the work of wholesale succor will be
entered upon. If Spain should regard this
act as a hostile one, the responsibility for
provoking war would be upon her. The
President still hopes that in the meantime
something may occur to diminish the like
lihood of opposition, or, if the programme
is inaugurated, that Spain will accept the
action of the United States in friendly
spirit

ture. and personal friend of President Nc
Kinley, said: Il consider war with Spain

struggle will probably be very short. Cuba
will be freed. the United States will get

that will end the matter"

cubans it may have to carry it in on loaded


Cubans it may have to carry it in on loaded
guns
At no time since the Cuban excitement
commenced has the feeling been so strong
in Congress as it is to-day that we are on
the eve of war, and that there is small
chance of escape from actual conflict
at arms Conservatives who have hereto
fore adhered strongly to the view that the
problem would work itself out peaceably
made pubic confession this afternoon that
their minds had undergone a change upon
that point, and that they now think war
inevitable. This remarkable change of SEN
timent is particularly noticeable in the New
England contingent. Even Senator Hoar
has expressed himself in that vein, and
Senator Hale says that it has grown upon
him that nothing but war will satisfy the
American people, and that they might as
well have it and be over with it, Speaker
Reed occupies much the same position. and
it would be hard to name a man of conse-
quence on either side of the House or
Senate who does not say to-day that way
down in his heart he believes that we are
drifting rapidly into conditions from which
escape without fight will be next to inn
possible
President Mckinley will not ask Congress
to share the responsibility of initial action
with him. He is taking steps. however, to
secure in advance assurances of the hearty
and earnest cooperation of Congress and
its support of any move which he may un-
dertake. He is in almost constant consulta-
ton with leaders representing every shade
cf political belief and every faction Within
the last twenty-four hours probably fifty
congressman have been summoned to the
White House by telephone or by special
message. The result of this is that Mr.. Nc
Kinley has every possible assurance of the
unanimous Endorsement of Congress. His
mind is now at perfect rest on that point,
and there will be no distractions to disturb
him in the preparation of his message when
the report of the board of inquiry comes in.
presence with a feeling that he has become
filed with species of exalted enthusiasm
in this matter, and that he is imbued with
a spirit of thorough self-confidence. The
consciousness that Congress and the whole
people will indorse any step he may take
arms him with the courage to confront any
emergency
The response to Senator Proctors speech
picturng the horrors which he saw in Cuba
has been most remarkable Whether it was
intended or not there is no saying, but the
effect of that deliverance has been to slim
ulate the good people of the land and the
conservative people everywhere into express
sions of opinion in favor of Intervention or
relief of starving humanity at our doors.
The President has been overwhelmed with
the proofs of this suddenly aroused senti-
ment. 1t is the one thing which he was
waiting to hear, and without which he
would have been ill at ease. 1t was the one
thing which convinced him that the senti-
ment is practically unanimous, and when
he was satisfied on that point he ceased to
hesitate. His courses became plain to him,
and the shaping of his policy was con-
clusion quickly arrived at.
