UNFORTUNATE.

1t is very unfortunate that both in the
house of representatives and the senate
there have been exhibitions OF passion
personal insults and attempts at personal
encounters during the consideration OF
the Cuban resolutions.
When question which involves the al
most certain prospect of war Is before
congress nothing is more becoming to the
members of that party than calmness and
dignity. 1t Is time when every mem Der
should control his temper, time when
reason should have perfect sway.
Congress has not formany years shad
more serious business than the Cuban sit
uation to consider and act upon.
1t is to be deplored that several times
since this subject has been up in congress
both houses have acted more like ward
mass meeting than great deliberatve
bodies. The example thus set is far from
admirable. 1t has been justly censured
by our own people and has had tenden-
cy to bring our federal legislature into
disrepute abroad.

NEWS EPITOME.

SATURDAY.
Thr Senate, last Saturday night, after
one Of the most momentus sessions Of Its
history, passed resolution recognizing
the independence Of the Cuban Republic,
authorizing the President to use force to
carry the measure into effect. The reso-
luton also notifies the world that this
country is not seeking aggrandizement.
News comes from Madrid that the Gov
eminent Of Spain will not object to the
House resolutions, but in the event of their
passage, will ask for the good offices Of
this country to secure peace In Cuba.
News of a more serious nature is wired
from Malaga. The American consulate
was attacked by mob and the shield OF
liberty torn down and dragged through
the streets. Madrid, however, ordered
the rlngleaders arrested, and other salts
to the American Consul.
Diplomats in London. save the Austrian
have lost all hope of med-
tation, and in fact the departure of Bal
four to the country indicates that Eng
land has given the cold shoulder to the
plans.

MEXICAN TROOPS TO BORDER.

Laredo, Tex, April 16.-In view of i'm

iards were badly worsted, and their ships
crawlcd back to Spain in a dilapidated
condition. Its believed by experts that
today the Spanish navy is as highly def;
elena in gunnery as for two'centuries past
and 1t Is as true In modern warships as IN
the old wooden ones that in action all de-
ponds upon Che man behind the gun.
In comparing the relative strength OF
orr navy with that Of Spain the differ
ence between the men in the ships OF the
two natitns is big factor to be taken In
to the account. AS we have also an ad-
vantage in the number and power Of ships
1t will be seen that in naval engagement
with us Spain would have little show

NOTHING TO FEAR.

This Is the assurance which the Marine
Journal gives us:
1t isn't necessary for the inhabitants Of
our seaport towns, cities or villages TO
worry over the possibility of being blown
up or bombarded by the Spanish. 1t is
safe to predict that Spain will not have
any ships to spare to go prancing up and
down our coast singing shells ashore
wherever settlement may be sighted, In
the event of hostilities. She will have
quite enough to do to look after Porto
Rico and Cuba. to say nothing Of the pos
sibility of our ships also doing some coast
patrolling with an eve open for stray
Spaniards. Our towns are safe enough
against Spanish invasion or lombard
ment by Spaniards. e.,

PENSACOLA GETTING READY.

Pensacola, April 17.-There is great ac-
tivity at the navy yard here. The large
Ocean-going tugs Penwood and Coyle,
purchased by the government have ar
rived and will be placed in the stone dock
to be reftted and armed for war purposes
A large number Of men are employed
and the work is progressing rapidly on
the new auxiliary cruiser Potomac.
The work of placing torpedoes in the
channel is nearly completed. Officers at
the forts say they are nearly ready for
any attack.

EUROPE ATTITUDE.

The rumors OF European alliance to
cOerce America in allowing Spain to con-
tlnue her hold upon Cuba seems to have
but little foundation beyond the clinging
hope OF Madrid, whose prolific immagina-
tion has created many startling develop
ments of late that never become tangible
facts. Coercion Is most improbable, the
chief factor Of improbabillty being the
repeated sentiments Of friendlness on the
part Of England that almost become crys-
tailed in an actual official invitation for
Anglo American alliance. The English
people are almost wholly with this coun-
try, and the English press, rejecting the
the direction that the Queen Regent
through her uncle, the Emperor Francis
Joseph Of Austria, is endcavorng to OBJ
tain. 1t is to be expected that official
England will follow the will of the mass
of English people.
II she holds aloof, then coercion of
America on the part OF Europe would be
like playing Hamlet without Hamlet. II
the Powers go ahead independent Of Eng
land they may encounter more serious
disturbance than they barganed for, al
though 1t is given out that their purpose
is to preserve the peace Of the world, and
1t is barely possible that this country, al
though its traditions are opposed to for
elgn alliances, may, through the very
generosity of England, be forced into an
alliance with that country. This is pos.
sible II coercion without English aid Is
attempted. In that event an alliance
with the mother country would be as GER
tain as II is certain that Cuba will be
free.-Tmes-U Union and Citizen.

The island OF Cuba, about which sc
much is now being said, is $50 miles long
and has an average width of about fifty
miles. Its area is 1920 square miles, is
about one-third larger than Indiana, near
ly the same size as Pennsylvania, and one
third less in area than Florida. Its pop
ulation in round numbers is 100000 two
thirds of whom are of Spanish descent,
and the balance Africans. The soil is ex-
tremely productive; in good years the
sugar product reaches s1OO,OOO,OOO, three
fourths of which come to the United
States. The mother country, Spain, has
a population Of only 100000, and an
area of 10000 square miles.

SUNDAY.

SUNDAY.
The most important news In connection
with the Spanish American affair is the
report of the London Times correspond :
ent to the OBJECT that the Spanish Cabinet
has definitely and irrevocably decided to
combat to the utmost. and upon princi-
pie, any effort on the part of this country
at Intervention. Denial is also made of
the report that Spain would accept inter
ventlon as planned under the House res
olution. II these reports, which come
from reliable men, are trne, then the res
olution of Intervention alone will, accord =
ing to Madrid advices, be sufficient
cause for var.
The Senate and the House are now up
on the verge of deadlock. Speaker Reed
after rallylng the Republicans to stand
by the Administration in its objection to
declaration of independence, has ex-
pressed confidence that the house will not
concur but it is not certain that the
House will not adopt the Senate measure
and it is stated that the Republican ex-
tremists are giving the Powers much con-
Germ. The tone of the Senate is said to
be firm against conceding to the House
an amendment striking out the independ-
ence clause.
The situation is one indicating some
days of debate.
Troops continue to move, new vessels
are being bought and sent to the yards
for transformation, and, altogether, there
is no abatement in the active prepara-
tions for war. which even the Madrid pa
pers now concede to be almost inevitable.

Why should recognition make us re-
sponsble for any Cuban bonds? Die
France have to pay our Revolutionary
debt because she recognized us and inter

any OF the debts of the republics to the

Greece because she recognized her indie
pendence and afterward interviewed? Did
we pay the debt Of Mexico because inter-
vened to make the French leave and then
recognized the independence of the re-
public? These are all parallel cases.

AN IMMENSE GUN.

In this period of ''war and rumors of
war; 1t may be of general interest to know
that the largest gun ever constructed by
any nation on earth is now being built at
the Bethlehem, Pa, Iron Works by the
United States government. When COM
pleted it will weigh 1926 tons, being six
tons heavier than the monster gun which
Krupp, of Germany, exhibited at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago; and as to length
it will be FIVE feet longer: previous to this
one, the Krupp gun had been the great
est I'm existence.
The caliber Of the new gun will be six
teen inches, its total length forty-nine
feet, two inches; it will carry a shot of
$500 pounds, or over one ton of metal,
with a powder charge of nearly loo lbs,
q distance of over sixteen miles, while its
effective range will not be less than ten
miles, and the velocity OF its shot 1000
feet per second. The cost of the gun will
be about $40, oOO while the foundations
and other requisites for it at Romer's
Shoals at Sandy Hook. the entrance to
New York harbor, will bring the cost up
to 100000. Our heaviest guns heretofore
never exceeded fifty tons in weight, and
the bore twelve inches, perhaps in one or
two cases, thirteen inches. The nearest
approach to what the new gun can do was
the so-called Jubilee gun shot In England
where the projectlle travelled twelve miles
1t is believed that no modern warship can
withstand the shots fired from the new
gun, and by way of experiment Spain is
invited to offer targets in the vicinity of
the Statute of Liberty.

SPAIN AS A SEA POWER.

II Spain should prove effective on the
sea now. she would reverse her record for
more than three hundred years
Not since the battle Of Lepanto, when
Joined with the Venetians and Genose,
she overcame the Turkish fleet. has Spain
won fight with any other nation at sea-
1t has been three hundred and ten years
since Francis Drake annihilated what
the storm had left OF the Invincible Ar
mada. Nelson struck Spain another ter
rifle blow when he met the combined
Spanish and French fleets at Trafalgar.
Since that time there have been several
striking instances ofSpanish incompetent
cy In naval warfare. the most notable be-
ing that which was shown in her eXped-
tion against Peru In 1896, on account of
alleged mistreatment Of some Spanish
subjects. The Spanish squadron on that
expedition consisted OF seven vessels,
mounting twenty-seven guns, and to OPP
pose it the Peruvians borrowed three
craft from Chilli. one vessel carrying
fortv-two smooth bores. one a small one
gun monitor, aud the third diminutiye
Merrimac, carrying two guns. The result
of the engagement was the utter discom-
future of the Spaniards. The Esmcrelda
captured Spanish gunboat In twenty
minutes without the loss of man. where
upon the Spanish admiral retired to his
cabin and blew out his brains, His sue
cessor retired from action and took veng-
