have been closed since Jan. II, when
the 5000 operatives struck as the re-

LONDON PRESS COMMENTS.
The Daily News Says War and the
Stauds rd praAJcts paaca

The Daily News Says War and the
Standard Predicts Peace.
London. April 12.--The Daily News
commenting editorially upon the presl-
dents message to congress. says: THE
message Is vigorous and able docu-
ment. Undoubtedly 1t means war un-
less Spain agrees to make final terms
with the insurgents and to recall her
troops from Cuba. It must convince
Europe that the case for American in
tervention is a very strong one Presi-
dent McKlnley's refusal to recognize
the independence of Cuba on the ground
that 1t would nullify Americas claim
to Interfere Is sound sense and a stag
gerer for the jingoes, but Spain must
loyalty cooperate with him If war is
to be averted"
The STANDARD says: THE undis-
guised disappointment of the iingoes at
the subdued and cautions tone of the
message cannot fail to cheer the friends
of peace. Assuming an obligation to
send the message at all. one could hard
ly have been drafted on lines less cal
culated to cause superfluous offense. 1t
Is a pity, however. looking to the attl-
tude Of Spain, that President McKin-
ley could not have further postponed
the message"
After expressing fear that Spain's
offer of an armistice comes too late,
The Times comments upon the grave
responsibility which President McKin-
ley throws upon congress- 1t thinks
that If debate could be suspended for
a week there might be a chance Of
peace.
The Morning Post says: "The studi-
GUS vagueness Of the message--except
In that 1t plainly notifies Spain to choose
between war and the abandonment Of
Cuba to such future as may seem
good to the United states-tells the
world surprisingly little. There is not
g. word to suggest that Spain has in
any way sinned against the United
