Some time ago Chauncy Depew said
that no nation in Europe could go to
war without the consent of the money
power. He did not say that this was
true of the United States, but it seems
to be bitterly true even of us. The peo-
pie of this country have never clamored
for war for wars sake. They have never
submitted to policy of territorial ag-
grandizement, but they have been made
to realize that the only way 10 which a
nation can be made to maintain its pres
tige in all parts Of the world is to uphold
everything and against all comers the
interests of its citizens and TO resent in
an unmistakable way every Infringement
of our international rights. No outcome
seems now conceivable which will place
this government in 8 satisfactory light
before the world and while the citizens
may still hope for the best, they are pre-
pared for the Uorst.-DenUer Post.

Long Conferences Held.

Long Conferences Held.
WAsmNGToN, April AT IL o'clock
this morning q cabinet officer said
that there was no change in the situa-
ton from that shown by yesterdays
developments, and that he expected
events would move along the present
lines until the Presidents message
should be sent to Congress early
the coming week. The prepa-
ration of the momcntous mes
sage was begun by President Nc
kinley at n comparatively early hour
this morning, after long conferences
with his cabinet ad visers and public
men upon the lines it should take in
order that the position Of America in
this crisis may stand forth in n clear,
intelligent and j%ustifable way before
the present and future generations
The advice proffered most urgently
upon the President has been recogni-
ton Of the independence Of Cuba and
Intervention at once to end the hor-
rors OF the situation. This course has
been urged especially by senators and
members OF the House. Tho President
has listened to all these views. but has
not expressed his own so freely.
IL is stated upon trustworthy au-
thority that the Senate committee on
foreign relations has decided to EN-.
body in the resolution for armed in
t~ervention. which it will report Mon
day, n statement that the Spanish
government is responsible for tho de-
struction of the Maine.
The resolution will he drawn up by
Senator Foraker. Sensational dcvel-
opments growing out of the alleged
suppression by the administration of
the testimony taken by the court OF
inquiry are expected.
Some of the members Of the com
mittee are disposed to regard as posi-
tive the proof of Spanish dup'icity in
the Maine affair and 20 resent il as an
act Of war. There is good reason for
believing that there has been more or
less discussion in the committee upon
the advisability of n declaration OF
war ON account of the explosion,
rather than n recognition of Cuban
independence merely. At any rate,
the Maine incident will be thoroughly
exploited and made the basis of much
that may be said. The committee
feels this is the safest course in view
of SPANS recent action concerning
the reconcentrados.
