The Last Play for Peace.

According to the Rome correspondent
Of the London Daily Mail, Archbishop
Ireland has cabled the Vatican that he
still has great hopes for peace, and this,
il seems. has led to renewed and fran
tic efforts on the part Of France and
Austria To secure Intervention by Eu-
rope. There is a hypOcritical and
strictly commercial suggestion that
Spain might be compelled by force ma
jeure to surrender Cuba on the under
standing that she is to be indemnified.
Now that is exactly the kind of thing
that the American people will not stand
for a minute. We have declared that the
people of Cuba are and of right ought
to be free and independent" There
fore, it is for them to say whether or
not they viii pay for the independence
they have won. and which Congress
has recognized. So much for that; but
Europe may as well understand that
this nation demands and is about to ex-
act reparation through war for the
Spanish massacre Of the Names crew
in Havana harbor. Any yielding to the
plan ascribed to the Vatican on the
part of our Administration would be re-
garded here as treachery. black as the
heart of weyler.
4 g..
the correspondent of the Mail is said
TO have been sent on Monday. That, of
course. was before the final action of
Congress. The meddling of the arch
bishop i'm the international affairs of
this Government, in relation to which
he is but a private citizen, has been
highly scandalous. To continue his
course in the matter, now that Con-
gress virtually has declared war, would
be worse than scandalous. 1t would be
treason A private citizen is inhibited
from dealing with foreign power even
in time of peace, except by permission
Of and through his own government.
In time of war, and this is such a time,
he cannot hold communication with any
foreign state or influence on matters
pertaining to the affairs of the nation
to which he belongs without exposing
himself to the charge of and the pun
ishment for treason.
We desire to warn Archbishop Ire
land, and those who continually in
cite him to work for the Intervention
Of Europe against the American Con-
gress and people, that he and they
must stop. and that instantly We have
our own war and :eace-making power.
We have our own diplomatic organiza-
tion and agencies. If We need the ad-
vice or assistance IF the Pope or the
Austrian Emperor We do not need to
make a pilgrimage to St Paul, Mimi,
to ask it; nor is the halo of Archbishop
Ireland at all necessary to our political
illumination
1t is greatly to be hoped that Presi-
dent Mckinley has awakened to the
irritation throughout the Union. which
ness has caused. and that today he will
notify that busy prelate and the un-
official members of the Administration
back of him that they must quit this

business of interference in things
which are not their concern. If this Is
not done Mr. Mckinley will not be
many days older before he will be con-
fronted by some extremely mortifying
remarks and perhaps action in Con-
gress.
The American people will not stand
the least hint at European interven-
ton. They have determined to drive
Spain from the hemisphere by force
and arms, and they would see that
punishment was visited upon any citi-
zen or citizens who should have the au-
dacity to conspire with any foreign
prince, potentate or power to defeat
their firm and stern purpose.
There must. be no more of these
peace negotiations by cable with Rome
and Vienna,

SPANISH QUEENS SPEECH.
Expected to Arouse the People to q
Patriotic Demonstration.

Madrid, April 19.-The speech from the
throne. which will be delivered at the
opening of the Cortes tomorrow, will be
couched in terms designed to move the
chambers and the people to a highly pa
triotic demonstration.
The document will declare that Spain
has absolutely no intention of yielding to
pressure.
1t will call attention to the aggressive
ness of the United States and announce
that Spain is firmly resolved to do any
thing rather than to submit to a diminu-
ton of her sovereignty or interference
with her integrity as a nation.
In conclusion the Cortes will be asked
to accord to the government every IA
cility for national defense.

CALL HANNA A DISGRACE"
Srathing Terms of Ohio's Senate In
yestigatIng Committee.

Columbus. Ohio. April 19.-The commit
tee from the Ohio senate. which WAS ap-
pointed at the close of the senatorial
contest in January TO investigate the
charges of bribery against United States
Senator Mark Hanna. finished its labors
last night Chairman Burke gnn0unCed
that the report would be presented in the
senate on Wednesday or Thursday 1t
covers thirty typewriter RACES and re-
visws at length the sensational testi-
mony given before the committee during
the investigation.
The charges are taken up separately
and discussed in a fearless manner. -Four
conclusions were arrived at Briefly stat
ed the committee finds senator Hanna
guilty of offering bribe to Representa-
tive Otis and connects the names of
Charles W. Dick. Major Ratbbone, and
Gen. Boyce with the transaction. The
committee recited in detail the efforts
made TO get Senator Hanna, Major Dick,
and others. who were connected with the
Hanna bureau during the senatorial cam
paign. to appear in person to answer the
charges. These persons. however. not
only refused TO talk. but psrsis'ently re-
mained outside OF the coiimltt tee )urlS-
diction and did not return TO their homes
in Ohio during the three and nalf
months the investigation was being con-
Quoted for fear Of being subppenIed and
compelled to tell how Hanna came TO be
elected senator.
The report closes with I scathing de-
nunciation of Hanna He $ referred TO
in bitter terms and denounced as corrupt,
dishonest, and a disgrace 10 Ohio and he
United States Senate. 1t declares that
Hanna is not fit representative of
Ohio. and the attention of the United
States is called to the finding of the COM
mittee and speedy action urged 10 unselt
him.
Ii is understood here that Mayor Nc
Kisson. of Cleveland. will follow up the
report by contesting the seat of Senator
Hanna.

The Boston colony is to go next, and
then the contingents from New York and
PHILADELPHIA. The consuls are working
hard TO get their people out of the coun-
try before the actual outbreak of hostiii-
ties. but it is somewhat doubtful il they
succeed. The chances are that Senor
Polo will close the Spanish legation. turn
it over to the French ambassador, and
leave Washington tonight.

st Once.

The national action for which The
Times has. been fighting all day and all
night for weary weeks has been taken
at last, and the American Congress
has decreed that Spain shall surrender
and evacuate Cuba at once. The Presi-
dent. as the high sheriff Of the people,
is ordered to execute this mandate, and
We presume that he will promptly go
about it,
"At once" does not mean after the
Spanish Cortes has wasted day or
a week over the matter. in a dishonest
debate for no other purpose than TO
gain time Congress did not contem-
plate anything Of that kind. AT once"
means now, if there is any expression
left in the words Of the English Ian
guage knowing in advance that the
Spanish government must and will re-
fuse to leave Cuba, il becomes the duty
of the President to merely give per-
functory notice and not to wait for any
nonsense. The flying squadron ought
10 be off after those torpedo boats to-
day. and SIMPSONS fleet should be
pounding Gehenna out of the Morro
Castle tomorrow.
We are sorry to see it said in one or
two Administration organs today that
Mr.. Mckinley is likely to give Sagasta
the leeway that foxy diplomatist wants.
1t is limited that advantage is to be
taken of the apparent equity of allow
ing the Cortes to act on the American
ultimatum. No sane government sit
uated as we are would think OF such a
thing. Did the Kaiser wait for any
Cortes to act in Haiti when his cruiser
gave President Simon Sam four hours
in which to pay up or have Port au
Prince bombarded? Well, hardly, Did
Great Britain wait for Arab Bey to
convene a congress of rebel sheiks to
discuss the ethics of British demands
before bombarding Alexandria? Not
to any alarming extent!
The fact is that when a nation gets
ready to proceed to war, and war is in
evitable. the sooner it begins gun play
the better. In the present instance the
American people are determined that
Spain shall be severely punished for
the atrocity Of the Maine massacre. and
the first lash of the whip should be
laid on at once" Every hour of post
ponement is so much advantage to the
enemy and detriment to the cause of
righteous retribution.
The Cortes will meet in Madrid to-
morrow. Our ultimatum should be in
the hands of the Spanish cabinet before
midnight 1t should not allow more
ton and reply. When we think
OF the conduct of Spain when
that demoniacal power was preparing
to hurl the crew OF the Maine into
eternity twenty-four hours is more of
q concession than the strictest concep-
ton of courtesy ought to permit. We
have conceded, waited and submitted
TO the lying. treacherous devices of the
Sagasta diplomacy altogether too long
already.
AT once" means now. Mr.. President!
Remember the Maine,

If permitted to do so, the Spanish Lihe
steamer Panama will sail from New YORK
tomorrow with ten thousand barrels OF
provisions for the enemy's army in Cuba
The fact that such thing is likely to be
allowed will astonish majority or
Americans But we must remind them
that the duty of feeding our enemies Is
based upon high scriptural authority
The mandate is also considered elastic
enough to cover coal, dynamite. guns and
other contraband of war. Truly, we are
a generous people to assist the foe IN
such ways; Tor otherwise he might he
hardly able 20 make a fight at all!

The Washington Post broke all records
in newspaper dishonesty this morning by
printing the word Extra conspicuously
on the first page of its regular city edi-
ton. thereby demding hundreds of its
regular subscribers into buying the same
paper a second time from street news
boys. and paying five cents for it.
We congratulate our bunco contempo-
rary Washington is conservative
town, but its people thoroughly appre-
ciate such enterprise as this.

serve well of their Spanish fellow-sub-

ton 10 the Spanish Cortes. That Is the
legislature to which. if any, they natur-
ally belong.
