FOLLOW THE GUSSIE.
Another Similar Expedition is in
Preparation

A1Cpc4
Tampa, Fla, May 12.-There is a good
reason to believe that inside of q hours
another expedition, with the same pur-
pose and destination as. that of the
Gussie, which left here loaded with
arms and ammunition and supplies for
the Cuban insurgents, will slip from
Port Tampa. The Florida, one of the
Plant line boats chartered by the gov
ernment for use as transport, has ta-
ken on a large cargo of Springfield ri
fies and ammunition, and the stalls for
horses and mules have been completed.
The boat is lying at the dock with full
steam up, and no one is allowed on
board.
Everything possible is being done to
facilitate the work of loading the trans
ports at Port Tampa with ammunition
and supplies All last night and all of
today hundreds of men were kept busy
unloading the war material from the
freight cars and carefully slowing it
away. This part of the work will be
practically concluded tomorrow.

and says: president Mckinley is right in
following the constitutional course of
throwing on Congress the responsibility Tor
national action and there is no doubt what
CONGRESSES answer Will be. In our opinion
1t is too late to avoid war, as Spain IS
apparently determined to tight q hopeless
battle rather than yield to demands which,
though expressed by America alone. are IN
reality the demands OF an informal con-
cert of the worlds civilization.
The Globe expresses the opinion that ut
| is a message of abdication, adding: While
the situation in Cuba is eminently uhsatls-
| factory 1t is a question whether American
| interference ON the lines suggested is likely
| to improve matters. While the statesmen
| of the United States shrink from entertain
| ing the alternative of annexation, they
| must not complain If their Cuban policy Is
condemned as combining maximum OF
| certain loss and a minimum of possible
gain. The refusal to recognize the insur-
gents viii not relieve the tension between
the United States and Spain IA.
The Daily News says cditorially TINS
wednesday, morning; We Dc not d9S IRE
to detract from the credit that justlT be-
longs to the Pope, but neither the spiritual
nor temporal machinery of Europe would
have been put in motion TO stop the horrors
ia Cuba except for the action of the United
States. A Weyler would be invaluable in
Armenia. There is nothing selfish in Amer
icas resolve that Cuba shall be freed from
her butchers and tormentors. If the Pope
really desired peace he should exert MS
whole great influence with Spain, who cam
not. in the long run, diSobey him, while
| Spain would not suffer humiliation in sub
hitting to the pontiff, who has no physical
force behind him.
The Times says: "Optimist critics of Pres
ident McKinley's message lose sight of the
fact that in both Washington and Madrid
those whose chief preoccupation-to say
the least. is not the maintenance of peace
are playing with fire in powder magazine.
Gen Fitzhugh Lees influence will tend to
aggravate the bitterness felt for the loss
of the Maine--a natural cause of suspicion
and anger, but to blow the smoldering fires
into flames at the present critical moment
is rash act not easily to be condoned by
the conscience of the civilized community
George w. Smalley, the New York CORE
spondent of the Times, concludes his dis
patch TO this mornings issue by saying:
President Mckinley has disturbed the con-
stitutional balance of power. He has con-
fused two branches of the government, the
legislative and the executive, which the
Constitution ordained should be strictly
sustained. Till yesterday (Mondayl we had
an executive. To-day we have a President
who declares himself the obedient servant
| of Congress. Anything may happen"
