NEW ORLEANS, April 19.-The Spanish
consul at New Orleans, Senior Narcisso Pc
req Petinto, was interviewed to-day as to
whether he had received orders to leave and
return to Spain, and also whether he had
received instructions to get all of his coun-
trymen, especially able-bodied men, out of
the United States and into Cuba or other
Spanish ports. Senior Petinto was quite
willing to answer all questions in a manner
most polite. but affirmed that he had re-
ceived absolutely no instructions in either
direction. Il know nothing of any orders.
If any have been sent out. have not re-
ceived them"
In view of the large Spanish population
in this city it is most likely that Senior Pc
tinto would have received orders before this
had there been necessity therefor. AS it is,
1t looks as IL New Orleans will have any
quantity of the Dons for an indefinite Pc
Rod save those who go of their own Volt
ton.

Even Edith NJ. Thomas. mildest and most
classic OF magazine poets. leaves Pan alone
tn the reeds to pipe to the birds while she
writes war verses for the New York Sun.
That she is little excited so that she
dashes the lines off and so far forgets her

the reverse. 1t proves that the thought is
more important to her than style on this
occasion. 1t is very good thought. too,
that she expresses in these two stanzas

WHAT WILL SPAIN DO.


The Spanish Cuban-American question
has reached a. point where Spain must de-
eide on a line of action Immediately. The
demand of the United States is explicit and
peremptory that ''the government of Spain
at once relinquish it's authority and govern
raent in the island of Cuba and withdraw its
land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters" This must be done at once" or
war with the United States will ensue i'm
mediately. The question is, what will Spain
do? Probably no nation was ever con-
fronted with more important question un-
der more perplexing conditions. 1t is al
most pitiful to see a once great and power
full nation called upon. at the risk of war
with greatly superior power, to decide
question involving such humiliation, and
that, too, under circumstances so distract
Ing at home and abroad
There are three courses open to Spain.
She may recognize the inevitable and yield
Internationally to the demand of the United
States, basing her action on the urgent ad-
vice of the Pope and the powers; she may
fatty refuse to yield and accept war with
the determination of fighting to the bitter
end or she may make show of resisting
the demands of the United States and put
up a feeble defense in order to disarm CEN
sure by the Spanish people, but with the
intention of yielding soon. In adopting
either Of these courses she has to consider
the certainty of ultimate defeat and the
loss of Cuba if she accepts war, and the
great danger of revolution at home if she
does not 1t is probable that the Pope and
some Of the European powers have urged
the evacuation Of Cuba without war as a
less evil than its evacuation at the end of
war. and the powers may have promised to
aid in suppressing instruction at home and
maintaining the present dynasty But
Spanish pride is an important factor in the
case, and it may rebel against so humiliat-
ing a condition as abject surrender. In that
case Spain would have to consider whether
the surrender of Cuba after feeble defense
would be any less unpopular and dangerous
at home than its surrender in the first in
stance, and pride may lead her to enter
upon hopeless war with a determination
to die in the last ditch That might unity
the Spanish people and prevent revolution
at home, but it would end in the complete
exhaustion and utter humiliation of Spain,
and probably the overthrow of the mon
archy If Spain is wise and can put her
pride behind her she will recognize the in
evitable and comply with the demand OF the
United States without striking blow. BY
SO doing she might save Porto Rico out of
the wreck. If war ensues she will lose
Porto Rico as we'll as Cuba. whereas COM
pliance with our demand and the evacuation
of Cuba would not necessarily involve the
evacuation of Porto Rico. The Cortes
meets to-day. and Spain will have to de-
eide upon her course of action Immediately.

Spanish Naval Omcer Tells About
Purchase Of Torpedoes.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Lieut. r. De
Carranza, OF the Spanish royal navy, naval
attache to the Spanish legation here, makes
the following rejoinder to charges that
Spanish officers were responsible for the de-
struction of the Maine, the rejoinder being
particularly directed to statements of Gen.
eral Lee and Captain Sigsbee Lieutenant
Carranza's statement follows:
"CabIegrams from London state that the
naval attache of the United States embassy
there and the Associated Press have OBJ
tanned statements showing that Spain had
purchased of English manufacturers. in
1886 and in 1896, some torpedoesn and upon
this information they base their conclusion

up by one of these torpedoes 1t seems alb

American divers working on the wreck OF

The result of the congressional battle
over the Cuban resolution was a distinct
triumph of the Republican organization over
the combined opposition, and of President
Mckinley over the clique of his personal
opponents led by Senator Foraker. In this
victory ne was largely indebted to Speaker
Reed. who. though not one of his personal
champions. is above all a man of convic-
tIons and Republican. The contest never
should have occurred at all. but as it did
occur the country is to be congratulated
GA the outcome and Mr. Reed on the domi-
nant part he played.

EFFECTIvE PARTYIsM.

The name of Speaker Reed is on the
tongues Of all those who appreciate courage
Gus party leadership whether they are in
sympathy with him or not. The passage of
the Senate resolutions SO agitated the House
majority that, at one time, it was feared
that enough Republicans would vote to
concur to defeat and humiliate the party
in the House. Mr.. Reed and his associates
were confronted by powerful opposition.
Senator Quay used his influence with the
Pennsylvania delegation the Foraker in
fuence was directed to detaching Ohio
representatives from the opposition to the
Turpie amendment. while Mr. Mason and
Governor Tanner assailed the illinois men,
bers by appealing to their fears of response
bility for deadlock. Representing no one,
but the courageous champion of principle
and the foe Of a policy which threatened
many evil consequences, Speaker Reed put
himself at the head of his associates in the
House, inspiring them with his courage,
and by dauntless leadership that has never
been unwise, achieved the most re-
markable parliamentary victory that is on
record in this country. Wisely choosing the
battle ground the Republicans of the House
put the advocates of recognition on the de-
fensive and thrust upon them the respon-
sibility of further delay. The second vote
proved to the Forakers, the Quays and even
the waspish Chandler that the solid Re-
publican front could not be broken.
Thoroughly master of the situation, the
speaker reversed a decision of his own in
favor of his foes and gave them roll
call on the motion most favorable to them
selves and won. The senators who felt that
the House would join the Populists and sill
yer Democrats as they had, saw that they
must yield, and did so. Such discipline and
leadership were invincible. Through it the
country was rescued from the dangers of
recognizing a government which is not.
Because the speaker has not been going to
the White House small men assumed that
he would seek an opportunity to embarrass
the, President. Small men cannot compre-
bend the holiness of that purpose which
inspires great men with patriotism and
courage to contend for a principle because
il is right Had the speaker been regarded
as the presidential mouthpiece he would
have failed on Monday. His party won be-
cause it knew that it was making stand
for a great principle.
In years there has not been such an in
spring vindication Of the usefulness and
necessity of parties and party government
as that given by the Republicans of the
House on Monday.

CUBAN JUNTo STATEMENT.
Resolutions Are Acceptable and the
Insurgents VIII Cooperate.


NEW YORK, April 19.-The following
statement on the congressional Cuban reso-
lutions was given out to-day at the offices
Of the Cuban Junto: 1.-THE resolutions as
they stand are tantamount to the recogni-
ton Of the Cuban republic. The declara-
ton is that the people of Cuba are free
and independent, while the Cuban people
acknowledge allegiance only to the republic
of Cuba, which they have established and
maintained by force of arms. The only OBJ
ject of the insurrection was the indie
pendence of the Cubans. This is provided
for by the resolutions. The Cubans asked
that before Intervention there be recognition
of independence. This is also provided for by
the resolution. Their desire to run their
own Government free from coercion is pro-
vided for by the fourth paragraph of the
resolution. Under these circumstances the
demand made by the United States that
Spain at once evacuate the island and the
threat that in the event of her refusal the
land and naval forces of the United States
will be- used to compel evacuation, certain
ly merits the deepest gratitude on the part
of the Cubans. Should force be necessary
on the part of the United States there will
be the most complete cooperation by the
Cuban government and it's army. Coast
pilots and practiced guides Will be placed
Immediately at the services of the United
States and in every practicable way will the
Cubans aid in expelling the common enemy.
To the patriotism of the American people
and the American press the Cubans owe
a debt of deepest gratitude, and for the con-
fidence which the American people have in
them they hope to prove their worthiness.
The steadfastness with which they have
pursued their ideal for independence and the
organization which they have shown in their
fight against Spain are sufficient proof that
they will be able to maintain their indie
pendence and that peace will be their only
oI,iaot for tha future"
