WASHINGTON. March 22.-The short
session of the senate was quite unusual
for the early part of the week. That
no one was prepared to go on with any
pending measure was given as the ex.
PLANTATION, but privately the opinion
was stated by some of the senators that
while the Cuban question remained in
such suspense there was no desire"to
take up important legislation. The
outlook as to Cuba was discussed
among senators almost to the exclusion
of other topics and the belief was
quite decided that(the administration
is preparing to take positive. position
within the next week. 81 raj senators
made the prediction that the United
States would intervene. Being pressed
for reason they stated that they. had
reached this conclusion after more or
less conference with executive officers,
but at the same time saying quite en-
phatically that they had no positive in
formation on this point. Other sena-
tors thought the recognition of Cuban
independence more probable than in
tervention. Almost all expressed the
view that some action surely will fol-
low the report of the Maine court of
inquiry regardless Of its purport.

LANDING IN CUBA.

rbe signs of the hour are that in much
less than a week an American army VIII
he en- route for Cuba. They are ready ana
awaiting orders, and the port OF depar-
ture will probably be Tampa. transports
have been provided, and the Nofth At
lantic squadron is in readiness TO CO.
operate with our land forces, VINO VIII
probably be under the command of Gene
raj Shafter.
MANY suppose thnt MatanZas will be
the objective point OF our army OF IN
yasion, but the Dispatch does not feel
sure about that. Because we have thrown
a few shells into that town it does not
follow that it has been selected as the
base of American operations in Cuba.
1t is not doubted that force Of lo'UU
men, Joined to the strength of Simpsons
squadron, would be ample for the pur-
pose in view. Nevertheless, provision
will be made for the hurrying forward OF
10 600 additional troops as soon as they
are needed And if these should prove
insufficient. plenty of volunteers VIII by
that time be ready to go forward
The prospect is that Manila will soon
be ours. We have destroyed the Spanish
feet there. and we have knocked to pieces
the Notifications at Cavite. where the
enemys great arsenal was located. Ma
Mia. too, has suffered from the lombard
ment, and we guess cannot long hold out.
So the prospects are that military ope-
rations in that quarter Will result soon
In the complete triumph of our arms.
Then 1t will only be necessary for US to
reduce Habana, and the war will come to
an end.
The purpose of our government seems
to be to get ALI the help it can out of
,Gomez's and Garcia's men, but to do this
we must arm and equip them properly.
This our expeditionary force will do. So,
whilst the people OF Habana are reach
ing the starvation point. our Cuban al
lies and our own troops will be marrying
them inland and our fleet may shell them
from the sea.
Our expeditionary force will have in it
a battalion of Cubans, a corps of Cuban
physicians, and Cuban guides and pilots.
And 1t Is expected that our men, or most
of them. will be provided with the new
service uniform of brown linen, and that
complete arrangements win be made for
establishing hospitals and for maintain
ing the best sanitary conditions in camp,

WAR AND BUSINESS.

1t is remarked that the fear that war
would have disastrous effect on mer-
camille and Industrial interests has not
been realized, and that business seems
to be going on as usual.
If the war continues for any length vi
time. it is probable that certain lines Oh
business and certain industrial enter
prlses will be unfavorably affected. but
it might be wise not TO cross that bridge
until it is reached.
And another little suggestion might not
be out Of place here. While it would be
unreasonable to expect people not 10
take an interest in the war news ana be-
come excited over 1t, wisdom dictates
that they should not permit their inter
est and excitement to prevent them from
pressing business. War should not pre-
vent businessmen from bending their
energies to making business.

JUDGE COLEMAN,s DEATH.

Virginia loses one of her most worthy
sons in the death of Circuit Judge Sam
uel f. Coleman. There was never an
occasion when he faltered in any public
duty. He was a man of modesty and
amiability, combined with great moral
and physical intrepidity. He was as
charming, too, in. the social circle as he
was admirable In his relations to the
people generally.
In the course Of his useful life he vas
Confederate soldier a lawyer. legisla-
tor, party speaker (whose services were
in frequent requisitiOn), and judge. IN
each of these positions he distinguished
himself for uprightness and for cour-
teous bearing. And the ermine that
dropped from his shoulders at his death
was stainless. He was able, just, and
courageous in the discharge of his duties,
no matter whether the consequences en-
tailed popularit or unpopularity'
lie desired the approval of all
his fellow-citzens. but he was
unwilling to seek it by departing a hairs
breadth from what he considered the
fight course.
For the last year or two Judge Cole
mans health had been very poor, and
his official duties bore heavily upon him.
but his death, which occurred at Bucking-
ham Courthouse on Sunday night, was
entirely unexpected; yet we doubt not
that the summons found him prepared
to appear before the greatest and most
merciful of all Judges.

American navy will take permanent rank
as one of the leading naval powers OF the

This latter result is to be desired, and

the United States of high naval rank

for the present war is calculated to make
us more liberal and far-seeing in the
matter of naval appropriations.

the assurance that our sole purpose in
drawing the sword was 10 release Cuba
from Spanish thraldom. Aside from the
