of national sentiment showing how pro-
foundly this great nation is agitated.
The Maine was one of the finest battle
ships afoat; one of the most perfect IN
construction, one Of the most complete in
equipment. All that modern invention,
long experience and trained intelligence
could do to make her efficient and safe
had been done. And yet this magnificent
vessel, at anchor in the harbor of friend
" nation, was destroyed with greater loss
of life than would have followed an en-
gagement with the whole Spanish fleet in
Cuban waters. Had the Spanish cruis-
ers and torpedo boats attacked the Maine,
and sent her to the bottom with the loss
Of $50 lives, the calamity would have been
hard to bear But to have the Maine de-
stroyed as she was destroyed is calamity
unbearable. 1t was useless to cry pa
thence when there was no patience. 1t
was useless to ask for suspension Of judg
ment when judgment had been given.
That judgment was against Spain, and If
reversed it would be only on the testi-
mony of witnesses who had standing in
the court Of public opinion.
No foreign country can appreciate the
full depth of American patriotism, writes
q Washington correspondent, and it takes
an incident of this sort to show it up in
its full strength and magnifcence.

cion and require them to prove their in
nocence. This is exactly the position TAX
on by nine-tenths of the members of Con-
gress. This opinion, declares the CORE
spondent, represents clearly the private
sentiment of Senators and Representa-
tives. They all say that the time has gone
by for any questions of belligerency and
that the only point at issue now is whether
the United States shall seize Havana
harbor, root up it's submarine mines and
make it free and safe to the navies of the
world. The administration fully recog-
niZes the dangerous situation.
May Ask Big Indemnity.
A statement was made Tuesday by an
official of the Navy Department who is
thoroughly conversant with the Spanish
situation, that if it should be proved that
the Maine was destroyed by an outside
explosion, a submarine mine or torpedo,
whether with the knowledge of Spanish
officials or not, that Government must
be responsible, and that President Nc
Kinley would demand an indemnity in
the neighborhood of $15,00O,O0O. The
value of the vessel is estimated at $5,
100000 The rest to be paid to relatives
of officers and men who lost their lives
by the destruction of the vessel.
Another official very close to the admin
istration said that there is no danger of
the United States being suddenly plunged
into war. Public sentiment, he said, is
in favor of fighting rather than to suffer
injury and insult, but the public is pow
erless to declare war. That function be-
longs to Congress, and though a provoca-
ton of war may be upon us it is a safe

with the general tenor Of newspaper dis
patches, have gone far to convince mem
bers Of Congress that the Maine was
blown up from the outside. They are
willing to wait a reasonable length Of
time for the board of inquiry to discover
something definite, but as the general
opinion is in favor Of torpedo or sub
marine mine, failure to discover positive
evidence of an accident will only serve to
confirm this opinion.
Several well-known Senators talked
with say that they are being fairly mum
dated with letters and kilograms regard
ing the catastrophe in Havana harbor,
and that ninety-nine out of q hundred of
them look upon the explosion as the result
of Il Spanish plot and demand action &C
cordingly. Conservative leaders are be-
coming startled by these expressions of
public opinion, and they say this is evil
dnce of rising tide Of popular indigna
ton which will sweep Congress from it's
feet unless something is done to allay the
excitement.
The newspaper reports indicate with
surprising unanimity that submarine
mine destroyed the Maine If these re-
ports are not contradicted promptly and
officially Congress will surely respond
with declaration of war, which is clearly
within it's powers, and which the Presi
dent will be forced to obey. The people
demand that if ships and men are to be
lost it shall be in open warfare, and not
in so-called peaceful harbors Any police

NEW SPANISH MINISTER.

Senior Polo de Bernabe, Who Succeeds
De LONE in Washington.
Senior Polo de Bernabe, the new Spanish
minister to Washington, is the son of
Admiral Polo of the Spanish navy, who
was minister to the United States during
President Grants administration and who
was chiefly instrumental in staving off
belligerency recognition in the last Cuban
rebellion. Senior Polo, as he is called, is
by no means the brusque democrat his
father was. He is colorless young man
of almost no force of character at all, and
has been carried along in the diplomatic
offices of Spain by administration after
administration for the sake of his father
and his family. He has done little of note
during his official life, although he is a
man of much learning. He speaks Eng
lish fluently, and has a wide acquaint-
ance with commercial history, on which
subject he has written a number Of val
liable treatises. His wife, Sonora Men
dez de Vigo, the daughter of the present
Spanish ambassador to Germany, is an

pire State, numbering $4,000, could mo-
biiize within twentyfour hours after Or
Sers were received The belief is also ex-
pressed that there are Goo, coo men in New
York State available for service. Gov
Atkinson Of West Virginia insists that he
will furnish at short notice fifteen of the
best regiments that can be raised in the
Union, Gov. Holcomb of Nebraska will
supply 1900 well-drilled men and pledge
200. 900 volunteers. Gov. Wells Of Utah
says his State will do its full duty when
81 comes to raising troops. Adjt. Gen.
Sykes of Venncssee will enlist 1900 ex-
perienced soldiers and raise $4,000 volun-
teers. Gov Clough of Minnesota wires:
"Minnesotians are fighters, and will= only
be satisfied in the front ranks" Gov.
Stephens of Missouri declares that if war
Il declared he will issue call for $780, 900
troops.
And so it goes and so it comes, with

Is no lack Of soldiers. Spain can depend

dead in Havana, but it proudly and de-

SPAIN is LIABLE.
Dons Are Pecuniari1y Responsible for
Loss of the Maine.

Dons Are PecEniari1y Responsible for
Loss of the Maine.
Good authorities on international law
say that if it is proved that there were
mines in the harbor of Havana, Spain is
liable for the disaster to the Maine,
whether those mines exploded by accident
or through the criminal act of an indi-
vidual Spaniard, whether an official or
not. They believe that if Spain had laid
submarine mines in the Havana harbor it
was her duty to warn the officers of the
Maine of the danger they incurred in an
choring there. They cite precedents,
whereby nations have recovered damages
in instances very similar to the one in
point, to prove SPANS liability, not only
for the loss of the ship, but for indemni-
ties for the sailors whose lives were lost
in the explosion.
The liability of Spain, they say, could
not be denied if neither the place Of an
chorage was assigned to the Maine by
Spanish officials nor the explosion was
due to the criminal act of some individual,
but simply to some unacountable acct
dent For while Spain had unquestion-
ably the right to provide her harbor with
submarine mines and torpedoes, she was
morally bound to warn any ship of a
friendly nation-not only man-of-war,
but the same holds true Of any merchant
man--of the danger that would be incur
red by anchoring in that harbor except in
a safe position consigned to her. Any
power that allows ship of friendly ma
ton to enter her harbor thereby implicitly
declares that it is safe to do so, fortified
or not. So in all these cases there seems
to be a clear case Of responsibility on the
part of Spain.
