Washington. March 24.-The last day
before the arrival of the report of the
Maine court of inquiry was one of I'M
exampled activity in all official quar-
tiers. Advices came early that the
Spanish torpedo hotilIa had sailed from
the Canaries for Porto Rico. and from
this moment, the most energetic war
like measures followed one another in
constant succession. The movement OF
this fleet has been watched with the
keenest interest, as it was felt TO in
vOlVe serious possibilities. which might
compel the United States government
TO protest against the movement as OF
a hostile character.
Immediately on the receipt of the Of
fetal dispatch from one of our naval
attaches abroad. briefly announcing the
sailing of the fleet, the fact was made
known TO the president, and an earnest
conference was held between him and
Secretary Long and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt. The seriousness of the move
ment was fully considered. and the
president was advised that naval STRAIT
egists regarded it as essential that this
torpedo fleet should not be allowed to
reach western waters. What if any,
conclusion was reached is not known
Later in the day the Spanish minis
ter, senior Polo y Bernabe. called at the
state department and spent some time
with Judge Day. 1t was naturally in

fiOtilla was one of the subjects. referred
To. Whether, however, there was any
suggestion against the move was not
disclosed by either Judge Day or the
Spanish minister. both of whom main
tanned the strictest reticence regarding
the conference, and refused to speak
concerning it
Senator Mason of Illinois was at the
navy department during the morning,
and was one of the first to learn that
the Spanish torpedo hOtilla had left
the Canaries. Later. when asked what
he thought of this action by Spain, he
said:

this side either to fight the insurgents
or To fight us. The insurgents are in
the mountains. and the torpedo fiOtilla

Mr.. Thurston briefly adverted to the
propositions of recognizing the bellig

either. AS to annexation, he said:

London Graphic Tells Us to Do One
of Two Things.
London. March 25.-The Daily Graphic
says editorially this morning:
we think it time that Washington
ceases WObbling. Weeks ago it was said
that the starting of the Spanish tor
pedO fiotilla for the West Indies would
compel America to declare war. Today
the hotilla is steaming straight for
Porto Rico. Meanwhile acute senator's
in Washington and Over-clever Journal
lists in New York are planning ingen-
ious campaigns to fix the Odium of de-
claTing war on Spain.
surely this is unworthy of the
American people. Two clear lines OF
policy are before President Mckinley:
Either to cooperate with the Sa-
gasta cabinet in making Cuban home
rule reality or to give Spain peremp-
tory notice to quit. To avoid both
courses is to turn the terrible Maine
disaster into a sort of gruesome red
herring. IT President Mckinley does
nos mean war, let him say so. and the
horrors of cuba viii soon be miti-
gated.

still believed war could be averted. He
