NOT SHIPS THAT WIN.
Victory Is Achieved In War BY Cour-
age and Endurance

New York, March 2S.-Captain AZ T
Mahan. author of the Influence of Sea
Power Upon History" before sailing for
Europe, said:
War is imminent. There must either
be fighting or a backdOwn somewhere.
No one who knows the feeling of the
Cuban insurgents believes for moment
that they can be induced to submit.
Spain surely will not take a back
ward step. To do so would be to over
throw the monarchy, and it would be
cutie as bad for the United States to
recede from its position"
Captain Mahan says we could not fail
to win, even if we were sadly behind,
both in the number of ships and quail
ity of ordnance. For" he explained,
1T is not ships. it is not guns. and it
is not armor plate, primarily. that win
in fight. but men. and American men
are superior in physique. power of en-
durance and craftsmanship and moral
courage to Spanish men. do not mean
to decry the Spaniards and have no
prejudice against them because they
are not Americans, but l have studied
carefully and l cannot hold otherwise
than that they are inferior to our men
in the qualities named"
AS for armed intervention by any Eu-
ropean power in Spains Aehalf, Cap
tain Mahan believes that the most I'M
likely thing in the world.

INTERVENTION IS DESTINED.
Sublime Faith In America Expressed
By General Gomez,

New York. March 2S.-An American
in Cuba furnishes to the Havana cor
respondent of the World the following
letter. received from General Gomez,
dated at Las Villas, March 8:
1T is very agreeable for me to an
swer your favor of the 18th, the con-
tents of which amuSe me and gave me
great pleasure. SPANS impotence to
subdue this revolution. either by mill
tary force or by political action, is
clearly shown by the recent events.
while our determinations and purposes
have been too widely proclaimed and
too we'll proved to require that l should
reassert them here, much less to a per-
son like yourself. who has formed a
complete judgment by his own expe-
rience and knowledge of the respective
situations of both belligerent forces.
AT the stage which affairs have
reached now, every man of sense under
stands that SPANS continuing of this
was is ubiquitous, inhuman and me-
mace 10 the peace of the world. No just
or noble end is pursued now; the object
is to kill and destroy for revenge.
The great American republic is des-
tined to intervene, sooner or later. in
some way, to stop the Cuban war, but
net peace if Cuba obtains absolute in
dependence.
'On that basis and the payment of
several millions as indemnity, it is pos
sible that our government would treat
of peace with Spain.
THAT is the unanimous feeling of the
Cuban people, particularly of the army
of liberation, which 1 have the honor
to command"

United States Needs None, Spain

subjects in case of war. The idea of

versant with the inside negotiations on
the Cuban question, said:
IF Spain and the United States go to
war they will fight withouUan ally on
either side. The United States does not
need an ally and Spain cannot get an
ally. The United States will. however,

The efforts of the United States at

facturers have not resulted in the pur-
chase of single gun, as the agents of
American firms and spectators secured
options for the purpose of selling TO

available stock which the eager rivalry
of European governments to increase
their ornaments. with the view of
meeting eastern developments, had left
in the market.

Afraid of the Irish.

New York. March PA dispatch to
the World from Waterford, Ireland,
says:
The torpedo boat destroyer Audaz,
though crippled by a gale, is ordered
to Spain with all. possible haste She
put in here Friday with both bows
smashed in, her stern twisted several
feet out of line and other serious DAM
age, sustained while trying to cross
the Bay of Biscay on the way from her
builders at Clydesbank. Scotland, to
FerrOl, Spain. Her collision bulkhead
burst, but the second bulkhead
stopped the water, preventing her from
laundering.
Her captain intended to take the
vessel to the Clyde for repairs, but the
government at Madrid deemed it i'm
portant that she should reach Spain at
the earliest moment. Therefore the
captain was ordered to take her to
Queenstown for temporary repairs to
enable her to make Lisbon or Cadiz as
soon as the weather moderated
The captain said that he was ex-
tremely anxious concerning the fate of
OSadO, a sister boat which left the
Clyde with the Audaz and encountered
the same violent storm. He hoped she
had obtained shelter in some other
port. but there is no report vet of her
arrival anywhere.
The two new torpedo boat destroyers
parted company in hurricane.
The men of the crew have not been
permitted to come ashore here. The
captain is evidently afraid that some
might desert rather than face the re-
mainder of a voyage to Spain.
1t is quite possible. too. that they
might be subjected to hostile demon

GLADSTONE IS PREPARED.
His State of Mind Is One of Complete
Happiness.

London. March 2S.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon. discussing the
health of Mr.. Gladstone, says:
1T is no news. we fear to say that
Mr.. Gladstone's illness must necessar-
lily be fatal in a comparatively short
time.
Mr.. Gladstone is fully aware of his
own condition. He asked the doctors
to tell him the truth, and he was thank
full when informed that he had no
chance of recovery. His state of mind
is one of complete happiness. His life
goes on quietly and evenly. Music is
his chief solace. 1t sOothes the pain.
The death of a black Pomeranian
dog. PETE, which for nine years, had
been a constant companion of Mr.. Glad
stone. has been an additional pang.

PETE was left with the Drews, but he
pinned, would not eat, and was returned

turned. The dog died on Friday"

Madrid Liberal Reads Us Lesson On
Discrimination.

Madrid, March 2S.-The Impartial and
Liberal today agree on saying that the
mediation of the European powers will
be difficult. in view Of the crisis in the
far east, adding: Anyway, Spain is
able herself TO resent insults and repu-
pudiate unjust Dretensions"
The Liberal also says: IF the United
States desires to succor the Cubans. the
simplest means is to confide the mission
to the Spanish Red Cross, which was
recently helped in the same object by
France, Russia, Hungary. Portugal.
Venezuela and Argentina The Spanish
Red Cross is well organized in Cuba,
and, besides, many members are ready
to go there from Spain. However. il
