THE LONDON WEEKLY PRESS
Consensus of Opinion that Spain Is Play
ing for Time, Hoping that some
thing May Turn Up.

LONDON, May 2s.--The weekly news.
papers agree that the policy of Spain
is to prolong the war.
The Spectator says "Itis clear that
Spain intends to delay the war as long
as possible, hoping that either Ameri-
cans will grow tired of spending, or
that Europe, disturbed by the inter
ruption of commerce and the rise In the
price of wheat, will intervene and In
sist upon peace"
The spectator, continuing, says IL is
Of the opinion that the government at
Washington has decided to make q
land attack on Havana, while Admiral
Cervera is bottled up at Santiago de
Cuba, and finds k difficult to believe
that the half-drilled, half-fed Spanish
conscripts win prove fighting superiors
to the hardy American volunteers.
Nevertheless, IN view of the situa-
ton In the Philippines" the Spectator
argues, "the work before President
Mckinley Is very serious, though 1t
may not be dangerous, and the Ameri-
can who expected o short war viii be
grievously disappointed
The Speaker say&
Probably the zeal aim Of Admiral
Cerveras operations is less naval than
political, and 10 meant less for use In
America than In Europe. It is sil-de.
sirable for the Spanish ministry TO
gain time. The revolutionists cannot
move until disaster comes Mean.
while Spain can point 10 the intensi-
fed agonies of the reconcentrados. and
bid Europe behold the results of Amer
ican humanitarianism- There Is also the
possibility of European war that
would give Spain expectedly allies.
Every moment of delay is gain for
the safety of Spain"

wHATLoRD woLsLEY SAYS.
Thinks the United States the Greatest
Military Power on Earth.

The opinion of Lord Wolsley, COM
mander- In chief of the British army,
respecting the United States as mill
tary power, is of value and interest
because Lord Wolsley is not only a
soldier of capacity and experience,
but has enjoyed special advantages for
studying the strength and weakness
of the United States. Lord Wolsley's
judgment, briefly stated, is that In q
war with a first class power the United
States might be defeated at first, but
would be able to defeat any nation on
the globe in the long run.
In coming to this view, Lord VOLS
ley Is governed by his knowledge Of the
general resources OF the United States
and remembers that war Ia not merely
a matter of powder and guns, but OF
bread and meat. Lord Wolsley thinks
that it would be risky business to
send unframed American volunteers
against trained Spanish soldiers, and
possibly his opinion would be shared
by a majority of our own regular
officers. 1t would seem that even all
the memorable demonstrations of his
efficiency have not yet convinced the
authorities of the capacity of the
American volunteer for acquiring the
art of war in a short time, in fact, al
most intuitively. 1t was an army Of
raw volunteers who nearly annihilated
In few minutes the army OF General
Packenham at New Orleans, than
whom braver or better soldiers never
marched. IL was American volun-
teers, Union and Confederate, march
ing directly from their camps OF mus
ter and instruction to the battle field,
who fought each other with the most
obstinate determination. There is no
disposition to undervalue drill, dis-
cipline and experience, and yet there
is probably no American volunteer,
even though he joined his command
yesterday, who, with good gun In
his hands, does not consider. himself
more than a match for any Spanish
soldier alive.

HURRAH FOR GRAVES I
His Father-in-Law, Pugh, Agrees to
Let HIM Have His Wife and
Call 1t Square,

@. M. Graves, OF this city, who has
had world of woe since he romantic.
ally married Miss Nellie Pugh, of CAL
laway county, on account OF animosity
toward him by his wife's father,
Stephen Pugh, of Calwood, now soea
his way clear to enjoy future happi-
ness he had hardly dared to hope for.
A few days ago Graves went to CAL
wood to zee his wife and was, as
usual, to meet her clandestinely.
While browsing around one evening
in her fathers orchard hoping to get
glimpse of his hearts idol, old Steve
Pugh slipped up on his son-in- law
from behind and filed him full OF
bird-shot. For this little act Of filiaI
discourtesy Graves had Pugh arrested
and put In about week away from
his business here looking after his
case. Graves friends will be glad to
know he came OF victorious, as the
following dispatch from Fulton shows;
FULTON, Mo-, May 5.-The case Of
Graves VS.. Pugh, in which shotgun
and secret marriage were the lead
ing features, was called up for trial In
Squire Woods court at Caiwood
to-day. Charles Graves, the pros
ecuting witness, was examined. He
testified that he and Miss Pugh were
married In Chicago last fall and that
the marriage was kept secret because
his wiie's mother was an invalid and
was opposed to the marriage; that he
obtained the license regularly; that
they had lived together as man and
wife, and that he was devoted to her
and desired to live with her In the
future and that his wife held a certifi-
cate of the marriage.
Stephen Pugh agreed not to inter-
pose In any way In opposition to his
daughters wishes In the premises.
Prosecuting Attorney ID. II. Harris
dismissed the case.

Quite number of Missouri editors

for the war to be successfully closed
