AS MCKINLEY SEES IT.
| Washington, April President McKin.
leo still expects Spain to strike the fist
blow. Why orhow no ono knows. He has
all along wished to avoid the moral re-
sponsbility" Of making war on Spain. 10
a friend who told him to-day that nine
tenths Of the people were in favor Of this
war, the President said: "But the people
are not responsible, am. II they wet
responsible. they would wish to avoid it."''
But" said the Presidents frien", ''cv.
cry war in this country has made u Pre- !.
dent Of the United States. War Is poi U.
lar You will be no exception to the rule"
;. The President said: God forbid tt AZ
my popularity should rest on such q foun-
dation."
~Washington. April 2.-fresident Mo-
Kinley's program Of action. now that
Spain has made her decision, has not yet
been decided. 1t is said on good authority
that, Notwithstanding tho apparent hope.
lessness OF avoiding war with Spain, he
still thinks there is shadow of n chance
for securing Cuban Independence wi houb
war, and 1t is understood that one menu
Der of the Cabinet. Mr., Gage, is inclined
to agree with him. Just what plans the
President has in mind for accomplishing
this result are not known. i
Whatever further representation tho
President may mako to Spain, however, il
any. will not alter his purpose to send
message to Congress as soon as no an
write it, reviewing tho history of the diplo-
matte negotiations with the Spanish Gov
ernmont since they were commenced in
the administration Of his predecessor, and
bringing them down to tho moment when
no signs the message.
The situation rs it appears to-day IT,!
most critical. Negotiations betweeH
Washington and Madrid have ceasedg,
Spain has declined to listen to any pp6po-r
sition for Cuba's immediate Independence.
Though each country still entertains the;
official representative of the other, diplo-s'
matte relations may be severed at any
moment
