MKINLEY BEATEN IN DIPLOMACY
Congressman Brantiey Expects War
to Follow Message.

Congressman Brantiey Expects War
to Follow Message.
Brunswick, Ga, April 5.-Congressman
Brantley under date of April 4, writes
from Washington to a well-known Bruins
wickan and gives some inside information
as to the sentiment prevailing at the capt.
tai. The letter says, in part:
There is one chance in hundred that
war may yet be averted but everything
points to the commencement of hostili-
ties very shortly after the President
message is received. I rather think the
Spanish government has gotten the best
of us in the field of diplomacy, and 1 am
quite anxious to see upon what grounds
the President will base intervention. You
will remember his purpose originally was
to send $500, 900 for the relief of the recon-
centrados, and to send it peaceably if he
could forcibly If he must. This was to be
intervention. The Spanish government.
however, has gone him 100000 better ana
themselves have appropriated 100000 for
this purpose. The Maine matter has been
handled in such way as to make ii very
delicate ground upon which to declare
war. / presume it will all drift back to
Cuban independence. In my judgment,
there is no place here for partisan politics
or party advantage. I think the situation
is too grave and serious for politics TO
enter into it. If we go TO war, we mus,
do it upon grounds that our own people
and as we'll our posterity and the civilized
world can and will justify. 1 can, there
fore, we'll understand how serious and
difficult the President has found the prep
aration of the message that he must SEND
