FIFTEEN-MINUTE WAR.
Senator Chandler Has Very Poor
Opinion of SPANS Powers.

CONCORD, N. T., March 7.-Senator Will
lam A. Chandler today gave out the following
interview on the crisis in our relations with
Spain:
LAS to the cause Of the destruction of the
Maine, l have no opinion as yet. Whatever
may have caused it the incident is not with
out an important effect upon pubic opinion
American action and quicken the advent Of
Cuban freedom. which, l think, cannot be
much longer delayed.
Spain probably will release her hold upon
Cuba without collision of war with the
United States, which would last from fifteen
minutes to three months; no longer. That
the United States should run the risk of such
short war with Spain in order to make
Cuba free, is one Of the plainest dictates of
policy and humanity"

derstood to be such an adjustment as
will not lead to further objection by
the Spanish government.
The Fern Is a dispatch boat without
heavy armament or guns, although she
belongs to the navy and is technically
a naval vessel. AS she comes as near
being a transport as anything in our
naval service, her selection will accord
with the Spanish suggestion that a
transport or merchant ship undertake
this carriage of relief supplies.
The sending Of the Montgomery tn
Havana is primarily intended to re-
place the Fern, which Is now at Ha-
vana.
The Montgomery is an unarmored
cruiser of 20S9 tons, with an armament
of ten guns.
The plans of the navy department
are to have the Montgomery start for
Havana at once, in order that the Fern
may return to Key West in time to take
on the relief supplies. reaching there
next Wednesday. 1t will be the second
visit of the Montgomery to Cuba. as
she has only recently returned from a
trip to Santiago de Cuba and Matanzas.
No Time Limit.
Capt. Crowninshield, chief of the
bureau of navigation, says that no time
gomery at Havana, as the only decision
thus far reached is that she will re-
place the Fern there for the present.
The Montgomery will be the first
United States warship at Havana since
the Maine disaster.
1t is not felt at the navy department
that the people of the Montgomery are
taking any particular risks in going to
Havana at this time, for it is said that
even should hostilities break out. 1t is
a rule of honorable warfare that thew
be given safe convoy out Of the waters
of the hostile country. OF course Gen.
Lee and the members of the court of
inquiry would be equally exempt from
molestation.

Washington Bureau st. Paul Globe, !
Corcoran BUILDING.

Special to The st. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, March THE feel
ing In Washington tonight is that the
administration has made compromise
and, IN ordering the Fern to take the
supplies to Cuba, Mckinley has again
submitted to influences which are not
entirely in accord with popular senti-
ment at this time. 1t is therefore
diplomatic draw so far as any actual
results are concerned
1t is more than probable that had
not the furry of the Lee incident been
a Monday morning theme, the military
bill to increase the artillery arm Of
the service would have been opposed.
And it is doubtful if the bill would
have passed had it been known that
Mckinley would modify his order,
the Nashville and Montgomery to Ha-
vana.
The Montgomery is an unarmored
steel cruiser of $50 gross tonnage. a
mean draft of about fourteen and a
half feet, and carrying ten five-inch
rapid fire guns for main battery, and
secondary battery, consisting of six
six pound and two one-pound rapid
fires, two Cuttings and one field gun.
The Nashville is an unarmored steel
gun boat with a smaller and less effec-
tive battery, gross tonnage of 1,190,
and mean draft of eleven feet. The
light draft of both vessels makes quick
movement into and out of harbors pos
sible.
AS fighting ships they take compare
lively low rank. But Spain is so ex-
ceedingly sensitive to every act on our
part, which even the most ignorant
might misinterpret to the disparage-
ment of her dignity, that she has put
in her protest here as she did in adj
vance of the visit of the Maine.
The Fern is not a war vessel and is
strictly a commercial boat. Hence
there is some disgust If not contempt
in the back-down of the administra-
ton.

In conclusion Justice Harlan said if

as follows:
But it may be added that the conditions
of business so far as railroad corpora

for the better and that the rates prescribed
by the statute of 1893 may now afford the
compensation to which the railroad compa-
MES in Nebraska are entitled as between
them and the public. In anticipation, per-

the circuit court wisely provided in its
final decree that the defendants, members
of the board Of transportation might,

History of the Case.
The case was instituted to test the
validity Of a law passed by the Ne
braska legislature in 1893, prescribing
the maximum rates for the transporta-
ton of freight by railroads within the
state. The act applies specifically to
freight whose transit begins and ends
in the state, and there was no effort
in it's enactment to control interstate
freight. 1t affected all the railroads
in the state, and the railroad COM

were terminated by today's opinion, by
