The Destruction OF the Maine.

The whole country was thrilled with
ing that the cruiser Maine had been
blown up in Havana harbor. The total
destruction of this magnificent battle
ship, and the appalling loss of life that
accompanied the explosion. would have
been shocking and terrible enough I'M
der any circumstances. Had it hap
pcned in one OF our own harhors or on
the high seas. this disaster. the worst
that has befallen the American navy
the tidal wave at Apia several years
ago, would have caused CONSERVATION
and sorrow all over the land. But the
time and the place intensity many fold
the effects of the disaster upon the
public mind, and grave apprehension
and foreboding seized all who read the
morning papers, yesterday.
The first accounts of the explosion
were of necessity incomplete, and the

is natural that the American reader
should first think of Spanish treachery,
and find a cause for the disaster in the
dia bolical ingenuity Of some sneakinG
wretch who was willing to sacrifice
anything and everything to crafty his
hatred for the United States. But no
such hasty Judgment should be given.
and public opinion should be suspended
until a thorough investigation and
complete report make plain the cause
of the explosion. 1t is a terrible affair.
and it is difficult to believe that either
Spain or a Spaniard could he guilty Of
such a coward)y and devilish deed.
If a mighty battleship. one of the
most powerful engines of destruction
ever constructed, protected by impreg-
nable armor. filled with deadly NUM-
lions of war, and manned by almost 900
men. can thus without warning be
blotted out of existence in a single
hour in the dead of night,-then where
is the usefulness of the modern navy?
Whether the destruction of the Maine
was the act of an enemy from outside
or the result of an accidental explosion
in its magazine. it furnishes much
food for reflection, and may exercise
marked influence on naval construction
and plans in the future.
Let us hope that later and more COM
plete reports will explain away all sus-
picion of Spanish connection with the
disaster We do not want war with
Spain. but if Spain or Spaniards had a
hand in that awful destruction of
American life and property the most
conservative citizen could not ask of
our government a longer continuance
of patience and furhcaraucc. If the
explosion is shown by investigation to
have been due to the CarelcSSncSS Of
any of the officers or men on board the
Maine the blame and punishment
should be promptly placed where they
are deserved.

to include in her campaign for a tax on

piled to the support of decrepit and in
digent bachelors. She has chosen New
