ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 24.-John j. In
gals, Of Kansas, is in Atlanta and ex-
presses himself emphatically against
the present agitation for war, in view
of the fact that international politics
is in so delicate condition that to
precipitate hostilities would, he thinks,
place the United States in an equivocal
position. He says:
II 1t develops that the Maine disaster was
the work Of Spanish brigand and Spain dis.
avows any responsibility or connection with 1t,
! do not see that our friendly relations should
be interrupted. On the other hand,
II the proper disavowal is not forth
coming we must expect hostilities. l
believe we are on the brink Of the most tre-
mendous explosion that has ever been known
In the worlds history, l an convinced that
struggle for the REIMBURSEMENT Of frontiers Is
not far of, and, in view OF this possibility, do
not think it patriotic or wise to seek to plunge
this nation into war without due deliberatlon
and full provocation.
Mr.. Ingalls, says judgment should be
suspended until an official report is
made by the court of inquiry.
