NO WAR, SAYS GAGE.
But If Tt Comes. Our Credit Abroad
Is of the Best.

Cleveland. March 19.-Before his
speech 10 the members of the chamber
Of commerce here. Secretary Gage talk
ed very briefly on the pending crisis,
and frankly declared that he did not
believe present complications with
Spain would lead to war.
There is 70 reason TO believe we are
going to have trouble" he said. The
people of the country are getting used
10 this war talk and they understand
that il means little Or nothing. There
is, of course, a possibility of war. and
If it comes the financial resources of
the government are equal to any emer-
gency which may confront Us.
President Mckinley would doubtless
ask for and get any appropriation he
wanted. Our credit abroad is of the
very best. as evidenced by the standing

Berlin, March 1s.-(Copyrighted. 1898.
by the Associated Press.)-In spite of
denials, the queen regent of Spain has
repeatedly and strongly appealed to
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria TO
exert his influence with the monarchs
of Europe, particularly Emperor Will
liam. to secure their efforts to restore
amicable relations between the United
States and Spain. The queen laid spec
ial stress on the necessity of maintain
ing the peace of Europe and securing
an entente of the European monarchs
against republican, aggressive America.
and on the affinity of her dynasty with
the Hapsburgs. 1t is understood that
Emperor Francis Joseph, while reply
ing to the queen, cautiously and con-
servatively, has actually written 10
Emperor William endeavOring to elicit
a reply pledging the latter to promise
to tender his good services in trying to
maintain peace. More recently, Spain
approached Germany and Austria with
the view of obtaining assurances that
they, in the event of war, would assist
Spain in some way or the other.
The Spanish ambassador here, Senior
Mendoz de Vingo, father-in-law of
Senior Polo y Bernabe, the Spanish min
lister at Washington, had a conference
on Wednesday last with the minister
for foreign affairs, Baron Won BClow,
when the latter assured him that while
Germany earnestly desired the main
tenance Of peace, she certainly would
not pledge herself to anything but the
strictest neutrality. Spain is telieved
to have received the same answer from
Vienna and Paris.
Senior Sandoval, the Spanish agent,
has thus far failed in his efforts as a
purchaser oe torpedo boats and other
WarShipS.

The Daily Press is in receipt Of a
pamphlet on the political situation

article in the pamphlet is on "Diplom-
acy, the other on War" Both arc

Register comes out in plain ana un

more practical than 4 peaceful block

However far such a course may
swing the United States from the
moorings of time-honored politics. the
logic Of the situation seems to be in
eyitably tending in the direction OF the
temporary. OF course, it goes without
saying. that the United States will
4 have to collect an indemnity from
Spain to cover the expense OF war. and
1t is equally certain that Spain cannot
pay such an indemnity without ceding
some its territory. AS matter of fact.
1t is Tepulsive to ali ideas Of civiliza-
ton and progress to even think of re-
storing any of the helpless victims that
have groaned under Spanish tyranny
for so long, to their oppressors.
Not only must the interests Of the Uni
ted States be protected, but Uncle Sam
owes a debt to humanity 1t would
doubtless be better to abandon pre-
