lea and war will be avoided. The note
which the President expects TO submit to
Spain will be drawn so as to avoid as far
as possible the giving of offense to that
country. The demand for reparation for
the loss of the Maine and for the death of
her officers and men will be pacific in
tone. if those who claim to possess inside
sources of information are to be believed.
On the Cuban question the note wfll be
conciliatory in its terms. In his comm uni
cation, at least, it is expected, that the
President will not demand the acknowl-
edgement by Spain of the independence of
the Republic of Cuba. He will make the
suggestion that Spain enter into negotia-
tions for allowing the Cubans to purchase
their independence, with the understand
ing that the bonds will be taken by syn
dicate of bankers of such standing as
would assure Spain the full purchase
price
This would, it is believed at the White
House, be less offensive to the Spanish
would a proposition to have the cuban
bonds guaranteed by the Government of
the United States. This Government
would not figure directly in any way with
the negotiations that would be under
taken.
The senator referred to at the begin
ming of this story asserts positively that
the President hopes if the government of
Spain is urged by the men who hold their

gerous phase of the situation. The ques-
ton of whether or not the Sagasta minis
try could yield to the demand for repara-
ton for the Maine and entertain any
proposition for the independence of Cuba
without endangering a revolution in
Spain. If brought face to face with the
alternative of a foreign war or domes-
tic revolution. in spite of bankruptcy and
the pressure of bondholders and in the
face of inevitable defeat, the Spanish
government might accept such a conflict
which would tend to unify the nation and
rally it to the support of the ministry,
rather than to run the danger of civil
war, which would endanger both the min
istry and the throne, and might result in
years of strife and dissension among the
Spanish people
This opinion has been voiced by one Of
the leading diplomats in Washington, and
it is concurred in generally by his fel-
lows. ''E
Ex-Vice-President Levi p. Morton is

MIR. Dingley's consideration for the
business world has caused much COM
ment at the Capitol today.
Definite knowledge has been received
that on Saturday last cablegrams were
sent from Washington by the advocates
of the proposed syndicate to buy Cuba
to foreign financial Institutions and bank
ing houses interested in Spain's debt, and
TO the English government with the end
in view OF having strong pressure brought
TO bear upon the Spanish government i'm
mediately after President Mckinley shall
have submitted his demands to Spain.
This move, according to a reputable au-
thority. was made in the hope that Con-
gress would allow the President to handle
the settlement of the Maine disaster, and
the question of Cuban independence him
self. The President is said TO hope that

is house of RothschiIds, suggesting that
Spanish bonds could be guaranteed by
the proposed international syndicate. He
is also said to have exhibited a telegram
from the London house of the ROths-
childs conveying the same information.
Yet there is not one person in Wash
ington who can be found ready to ad-
init that Mr.. Morton showed him such
circular and telegram, and his many
friends refuse to believe that he is inter
ested in the deal.
There is one suspicious circumstance
which makes even the real admirers and
friends of President Mckinley who be-
lieve in his patriotism wonder If he is
accurately represented by the garruIOus
gentlemen who contribute to the ticker
information.
That is the apparently unnecessary de-
lay in the report of the Court of Inquiry.
In Army and Navy circles this delay Is
said to be fnexcuSable.
Impatient. patriotic senator's, who are
tired of the uncertainty, and disgustej
with the antics of the mercenaries who

bonds and by the British government to
accept these terms when they are offered
they will yield. Even among some of the
members of the Cabinet 1t is believed
that he is more hopeful of the success of
this scheme than the situation seems to
justify, but in the minds of the more
patriotic senators and representatives,
there are beginning to creep sickening
misgivings as to the conduct of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. n4--er ..r
Senator CuIlom, when asked for his
view of the proposition to purchase Gu
ba, said:
ANY man, whether a member of Con-
gress, or otherwise who would attempt
to make a dollar out of such a crisis Is
too mean to live. Men who attempt to
speculate on the calamities of the poor
Cubans or on the blowing up of the Maine
ought to be shot"
While it is recognized. generally. that
the financial institutions which have been
asked to urge Spain to yield are powerful.
and while it is believed that the Sagasta
ministry would be glad to accept almost
any solution of the present difficulty that
might be suggested as an alternative of
war, in diplomatic circles, 1t is doubted
that any ministry in Spain could with
safety to itself and to the reigning house
consent to any proposition looking to the
giving up of Cuba to the insurgents ..5
This leads up to what has long been
recognized by statesmen as the most dam
