WAR CLOUDS.

The war clouds that gather and OBJ
scure the sunlight of peace to day
are dissepated tomorrow only to be
succeeded by the same ominious
token as the following day.
Many people fail to appreciate
the tremendous influence that is al.
ways exerted in favor of war. No
class OF our citizens Can exercise
more influence on legislation except
ing always, the monied class, than
the officers of our armey and
navy.
They all have friends in Congress.
and in official life at Washington,and
they all without perhaps an exception
look forward to war, as a man in
business loaks forward to the com.
pletion of his fortune. Uuder DC ace
conditions it is possible for a mai
to serve life time as Lieutenant,
retired on the meagsr half pay OF
the service, but war offers not only
the hope of promotion but the hope
of glory. 1t is impossible for us not
to sympathize in hopes SO natural
aud ambitions SO honorable, and
there is little doubt that the in
huence Of tho class to which we re.
fer reinforced by the naturally com.
bative tendencies of a brave pec.
pie will precipitate conflict when
ever there is a shadow of justiaca
ton. indeed there is always the

So it would happen that all the
time DE LONE was saying spiteful
things about Mr.. Mckinney "Our
Fitz" was writing letters that
wouldn't do to read to the Spanish
authorities. Did they both neglect
good opportunities to keep their
mouths shut? Sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander.

few remarks and then introduced as
the first speaker of the evening Attor-
ney Charles ]. Shook, who made
splendid address. He was followed,
after an intermission for music, by Col.
Robert White, whose address was a
splendid effort, and who was attenIvely
listened to and frequently applauded.
After more music, Attorney w. P.

most interesting address, which at
times aroused considerable enthusiasm.
Mr. Robinson was followed by City
Solicitor Frank w NeSbit. VITA a short
address, and then the flag was run up
to the top of tie long cole on the roof
of the building, while fireworks were
sent up, and a large amount of red fire

WASHINGTON, D. c.. july l5.-PreS-
ldent Mckinley gave expression to-day
to a strong hope for an early peace.
Responding to congratulations on the
success OF the Santiago campaign, he
said:
"G hope for early peace now" In the
course of other interviews he gave voice
to the same sentiment, not expressing
his entire belief but strong hope that
peace would come. The dispatch from
Madrid announcing the royal decree
suspendlng Individual rights IN spain
was quickly communicated to the Pres
ident and was read at the cabinet meet

Special Dispatch to the Intclllgeneer.
WASHINGTON. July 15.--The victory
at Santiago and Its relations to the
general situation are viewed varlously
here. The President is OF the opinion
that the surrender Is the forerunner OF
peace and believes the action Of Spain
in establishing martial law. suspension
Of Individual liberty at home, we're
among the steps made necessary by the
desperation OF that government. a
peace proposal at an early day the Pres
ident regards as by no means an impos-
sibliity.
Senator RlldnS does not share that
view, nor does Senator CochTell, nor
Senator Cannon, OF Utah. Mr.. Elkins
says II the queen regent were not
threatened by q revolution at home she
might now consent to submit a propo-
sltion, He ID OF the opinion we should
now seize Porto Rico and then proceed
at once to attack Spain on her home
ground.
The senator says. In his opinlon, Ha-
vana can resist q prOtrncted Siege, and
points out that It would require an Inn
mense army to invest the city's de-
lenses, which are strong and numerous,
covering ut least thirty miles. The

thinks, will insist upon continuance OF
tho war, well knowing II Is scarcely
possible, without great sacrihce, TO

Insists, and prosecute the war against
