to evade its fatal results is not known.
At first it was supposed to be cholera,

from the disease for two or three

sidered more serious ailment.

WAR WITH SPAIN.

There have been no developments
during the week with regard to our
trouble with Spain, tending to show
whether or not we must have war.
The report of the cause of the disaster
to our battle ship, the Maine, has not
yet been handed in, but On one point
there seems to be no doubt, and that
is, that it was blown up by torpedo
or mine. All our war preparations
are being fastened with the greatest
possible expedition, and reports are
current that we have bought several
war vessels from foreign nations. The
Fifty Millions is being rapidly used,
and whether we have war or not, we
will have spent more money soon than
the island of Cuba is worth. The re
ports that England, Russia and Japan
are putting their navies on a better
footing, have tended to cause many to
believe that there is pending and rap
idly approaching a period of great
seriousness throughout the civilized
world. 1t is thought that England
would be glad to form very close rela
items with the United States, and that
she will make overtures to this effect.
There are at present no signs of any
one offering to help Spain in the event
we have trouble with her. Until the
report of the commission is made TO
the President matters will remain as
they now stand, viz: Active prepare
tions for war everywhere. and mobi
llzation of our navy ct Dry Tortugas.
Should the report be as is expected
the question of the extent of our de-
mands on Spain for the loss of the
Maine is the one which absorbs public
thought, and this can only be conjsc-
tured. In any event it seems conclud
ed that Cuba will be freed. II is not
thought that Spain will permit war
to be declared if there ia any possible
way to avoid it. That she has spent
so much money and lost so many men
in trying to subdue her subjects in
Cuba and the Phillipean Islands that
she will eat very humble pie before
she actually burns powder in killing
Americans.
OF course the papers have been full
OF sensations, not one thing has hap
peued of sensational nature. nor one
thing new mace public within the
past week. All has been going on in
ex lctly the same lines as before. The
new Spanish minister has been receiv-
ed at Washington and fraternal greet
ings have been passed between him
and President Mckinley. Mr. Ding
ley, chairman OF the Ways and Means
has stated that our expen-
ses now being on a war basis we must
taxes to provide the means,
and it is likely that internal revenue
taxes will be increased in short time
But the crisis is near at hand, and the
report OF the Maine disaster will surs
ly. be handed in during this week
with its receipt will come results which
eAnnot be at present foretold.
