War now Inevitable.

The past two weeks have been
stormy times in Washington. Pres.
ident Mckinley's message, sent to
Congress last Monday was a wise
conservative document, pleading for
peace. Wednesday the Senate com
mittee on foreign relations reported
a resolution recognizing Cusan in
dependence, demanding that the
Spanish withdraw from the Island,
and that the President be directed
and empowered to employ the entire
land and naval forces to enforce
these demands.
the same dar a turbulent and dis
graceful scene ensued 10 the House
10 the discussion Of the resolutions
authorizing and directing the Presi.
dent to al once intervene to stop The
war in Cuba, and establish q stable
and independent government.
Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock
the resolutions were finally passed,
the Senate resolution recognizing
the Gomez government was stricken
out. president Mckinley signed
the bill on Wednesd4y and at the
same time gave Span the ultimatum
which IS to withdraw her forces
from Cuba within As hours.
Unless Spain withdraws from
Cuba, which is highly improbable,
war will be certain to follow. Every
body seems crazy for var and but
few of them pause to realize what it
means. The United States will van.
quisb the Spaniards without doubt,
but at what cost Of men and money
and time no one can foretell.

Uncle Sam for all this masked for

Has Unc e Sam well considered
job before beginning? 1t is to be
feared be has not. How will he es-
tablish a stable and independent
government for CUBA Why drive
out the Spanish army, and pull down
the Spanish flag And then, what
next /? If he attempts to put Gomez
and his party 10 power, the Spanish
party 10 the cities, the volunteers

be attempts to put the volunteer
party composed of residents of
Havana and other cities in power,
Gomez and his party will oppose.
Ii Uncle Sam leaves the people of
Cuba to establish a government for
themselves they will not be able TO
do so, and anarchy will be the
result.
But by undertaking this job Uncle
Sam makes himself responsible for
neace and good order Ia Cuba
How will he achieve this end ?
Govern it himself against the will of
all parties perhaps. That would be
a pretty Independence for Cuba |
That would give the lie to all the
declarations of all the American
People that they did not wish to ac-
quire Cuha. Uncle Sam could not

will curse him. and if he attempts to

will curse him. He will gather no

at the same time he will also teach

more profitable to mind their. own

Judge Watkins His Own Snc-
cessOr

~SSS~&
There is much cause for self con-
graduation TO Justice Watkins of
the supreme Court, that he has re-
ceived the practically unanimous in
dorsement of the bar Of Louisiana
for appointment as his own success
or. The personnel of the courts,
after all. is a matter that is usually
and Of right should be, submitted to
the arbitfament Of the bar; for, while
the citizenship of the State broadly
and generally considered, seldom
bluuders as to lhe requisites 0: mere
probity and personal claims, the
lawyer alone is able to Judge of the
professional fitness of candidates for
judicial honors. Judge Watkins in
possessing the approval Of his fellow
lawyers, therefore occupies an ad-
vantageous position among the sew
eral aspirants to the place he now go
worthily fills.
1t would DC astonishing indeed. if
the able work Of Judge Watkins
should not have met with fitting re-
cognition at lhis time, since 10 his
brilliant attachments as a %iarist there
are conjoined those rare qualities Of
industry and painstaking care with
ont which ven the greatest ability
can accomplish little.
W. think it would be wise 10 re-
appoint him. He is pr~overbially
known to be an indefatigable wo. ker
whose opinions are distinguished by
the research they exhibit. The FREE
queut changes of judges who are
shown 10 be industrious and honest,
is not commendable aud never con-
tributes to a consistent system of ju-
dicial construction and interpreta-
ton. The people suffer more from
an %oscillating Jurisprudence than
from imperfect laws.
The decisions oil the law are the
landmarks for the regulation and
OF property and hence the
necessity of their certainty. How
can this be obtained with an ever
judiciary? Men reason
differently and hence deduce differ
ent conclusions. We can not say
that we have any personal prefer
ence among the several aspirants to
the judgeship 10 this particular in
bat from the view. we have
briefly indicated. we believe it would
be proper 10 retain Judge Watkins.
Taking into consideration his
twelve years. experience as associate
justice, as well as his earlier training
and other eminent qualifications, We
see no reason why Judge Watkins
should not be his own successor. A
OF the highest legal attain
ments, an indelaligable worker, a
and experienced judge and an
honest, honorable and genial gentle
man; learned 10 the law, retiring
than seeking houors, he at
once strikes all who know him as the
ideal mar for the place. Monroe

SPANISH SPY ARRESTED.
Cipher Code and Other discriminating
Evidence Found ON His Person.

WASHINGTON. May Am alleged Span
ish spy was arrested in this city tonight
and is now in confinement at the arsenal.
The authorities are extremely reticent re-
garding the details of the case and refuse
positively to make public the name of the
man. 1t is known. however, that he is an
American, and that up to within three
a vessel of the United States navy. The
arrest was made at a boarding house by
Chief Willxie, of the secret service, assisted
by Captain Faye, of the. Eighth Artillery,
and guard of corporal and one man.
The arrest was made very quietly and at
procedure and the police authorities were
not informed. The credit of the arrest is
given by treasury officials to Chief Wilkie
who has personally worked up the case. 1t
is stated that the evidence against the prs-
oner is absolutely conclusive. In addition
to t1fe evidence which has been collected
during the working up OF the case, it is
stated that complete cipher code and 9TH
er discriminating documents were found upon
his person. The prisoner was Immediately
escorted TO the artillery barracks at the
United States arsenal here, and placed in

Later 1t was learned that the prisoner has
been known under the name of Henry Raw

MAHAN is CRITICISED.
Rear Admiral BeIknap Tells How He
Would Fight Spain.

BOSTON, May AT the banquet of the
Massachusetts Club tonight Rear Admiral
Belknap said the brilliancy of Commodore
Dewey's victory filled him with gladness,
and he declared that the Spanish navy
would be, or should be, the objective point
of the United States navy and the destruc-
ton of that navy the sternest aim of our
navy. He deprecated the unwillingness of
Congress in times of peace to make any APP
preparations for the navy. He highly
praised Commodore Dewey, and said that if
the official story of his doings at Manila
confirms the report of his victory there it
will show that Farragut's mantle of resolu-
ton and bravery has. fallen on most
worthy and intrepid successor. Continuing,
he SAL
We are told that he has quick temper,
that he resents interference with his concep-
ton OF duty and his prerogatives as a COM
mandlng officer, but what man of affairs
VINO amounts 10 anything has not u temper
and mind of his own? There is, as you
know. a naval strategy board in Washing
ton TO direct naval movements at this juno
ture. Some of its members never had a
minutes experience in war Heaven save
The mark How could they plan the move
ments for the guidance of old officers, who
are supposed TO know their business OF
out outside advice?
But it is said that Captain Mahan has
peen ordered home to take seat on the
strategy board. Fancy Dewey, broad, able
ard dashing, splendid seaman and brilliant
commander who has won one of the most
unique, complete and signal naval battles
OF the century, taking advice on profess
SIGNAL lines from a mere writer of books
Ike Mahan! It's merely absurd. Mahan
IS a forceful and accomplished writer, but
ihere IS no Farragut or Dewey sea genius
In his make up.
Now in my judgment. the naval STRAIT
egy of the war is the hunting down and
destruction of the Spanish fleet. That ac-
complished, the war should soon come to an
end"
In the course of his remarks Admiral
Beiknap pointed out the probability that
the German Emperor, when he has his new
neet built. will want to measure swords
with the American Republic, inasmuch as
the commercial instinct OF the German peo-
pie made it likely, and said the United
States should be ready to meet him.
Admiral Kimberly attributed the victory
at Manila to the best of Judgment, the best
OF pluck and the most thorough seaman
snip. He made plea for an increased
navy.

position with the board of strategists at
Washington arrived here to-day on the
Iunarder Etruria under the name of A. T.
Maitland. Captain Mahan had removed his
beard, and this helped to complete his de-
sire to escape detection. Among the pas
sengers on board the Etruria was Capt
Alfred Paget, r. N, OF England. Capt
Paget is one of Great Britain's naval ex-
perts, and very we'll acquainted with Capt
Mahan He stated that he was, with the
exception of the first officer of the Etruria,
the only person on board that knew Capt
Mahan During the voyage Captain Paget
said he conyersed daily with Captain Ma
han and discussed naval affairs in general.
During these conversations Captain Mahan
tod him that he was travelling incognito,
and that he did it for official reasons.

Paget was asked.

proposes TO discuss them. all right"
1t was learned that Captain Mahan, after
the publication of his recall to serve on the
Board of Strategy, assumed the name of
Maitland for the purpose of avoiding pub
