The San Francisco call., 1898-02-17

These were the words of Captain Sigsbee as we stood on the bridge of the Maine just a week ago to-day. He was particularly careful to explain in his conversation with me that an accident of any kind, no matter how caused, might be attributed to Spanish intrigue and might serve to widen still more the breach between the two countries.
 The position of the commander of the Maine at Havana was a particularly delicate one. It was necessary to as sume free-handed politeness with the Spanish authorities and officers, who, in turn, were careful not to respond with more warmth than official etiquette re- quired On the other hand, leading Cubans were. anxious to show the Maine's officers social attentions, but were prevented by the frowns of the Spanish official classes. On several oc- casions well known Cubans of conspicu- ous social and commercial positions de- clined invitations to dinner when they learned that either Captain Sigsbee or General Lee was to be among the guests. Officers who made official calls on the Maine were usually greatly at tracted by some object on the other side of the street when Captain Sigsbee or his officers were met strolling about the city. Several young Spanish girls with American connections about a { ,I,% fn some friends in the army and navy to visit the Maine. Captain Sigsbee was only too glad to have the ice broken, and not only extended general invi- tation, but made extensive preparations for his guests. On the evening before the day set for the visit the leading military club in Havana was se- riously debating the propriety of the visit, and 1t was decided that 1t would be injudicious, to use mild term On the next day the young ladies visited the ship quite alone. excepting for their chaperons.
 While Captain Sigsbee constantly maintained that under no circumstances WOuiQ llC dDl1QSC dlW , went in citizens clothing except when making official calls. He argued that as the two countries were at peace he should be allowed to go anywhere the captain of any other naval vessel in the harbor could go.
 The silly incident the autonomists at tempted to make out of his failure to call upon them when he was in the Palace on his first official visit to the Captain General was another illustra- tration of the unpleasant position in which he found himself.
 Aside from these trifing affairs noth- ing occurred during the entire stay of the Maine that would in the slightest indicate any lack of cordiality between the Governments

VICTORY IN 1900.

The war has for some time com
pletely overshadowed the impor-
lance of political matters. Prior to
the war it looked very favorable for
Democratic victory. Now that the
attendant excitInent is subsiding and
sober reason taking possession Of
men S minds the political aspect is
changing. There is no doubt but if
given a chance the people would
elect Dewey IN 1900, The friends Of
Mckinley will force his denomination
as Ha1rison's was forced, only } end
in defeat as III Harrison's case. The
Democratic opponent of Mckinley
will be the most available man and
who could it possibly be but William
Jennings Bryan. 1t will be the
same old ticket in 1900. Democrats
will not vote for Mckinley a second
time as they did in 1896. Congress
will appoint an investigating com
mittee on the conduct of the war.
The scandalous facts developed will
badly damage the reputation of the
present administration and the re-
sulting loss will be a gain of voters
for Bryan. The death rattle of our
murdered soldiers will be heard in
the ballot box. The Republican
party will be held responsible.
Initiation and speculation will fol-
low the war. Immense sums spent
in Cuba, Porto RICO and the Philip
pines will contract the circulating
medium. The price of wheat will be
low and also of cotton. This will
aus heavy gold expectation and
there will be a stringency. The ruin
will come before 1900, plainly demon
strating the instability of the ad.
ministration's financial policy and IT,
people will welcome again the oppor-
tunity in 1900 that they lost in
18o6.-Silver State.
