PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There seems to be a lack of celebrity
il pushing forward the troops now
equipped and ready and eager to go
to the front. Where the blame for
this inaction lies is not clear, but the
present method of conducting the war
is not the vigorous policy that will
strike a fatal blow against the enemy
before he has had ample time to pre-
pare and fortify himself.
Recent reports from Havana are to
the effect that the blockade is not &C.
complishing its purpose; that while
no provisions are carried to this city
from the north, yet it is asserted that
much food for Blanco's army has been
reaching Havana by way Of Yucatan
and the Island of Pines.
When we remember that this war
was undertaken by the United States
to better the condition of the starving
Cubans, it seems inconsistent that
there should be so much delay. Each
day wasted adds to the number OF
deaths by starvation, and the policy
of conqueriHg by blockade makes its
horror felt first among the reconcen-
trados, as the Spanish soldiers pre-
serve the food supply for themselves,
so that they may Withstand a siege.
At the same time dilatory messures
are only adding to the strength Of the
Spanish positions at Havana, and
when the crisis does come, victory
will be achieved at a much greater
sacrifice of our men than il quick,
decisive blow had been struck before
every opportunity has been given to
the Spanish commander to strengthen
and fortify himself.
If the administration will act it,
stead of mediate, much good may
come, even after many days spent in
lettering, by prompt and decisive
measures. If we must have war, let
us have it speedily, and let us win our
victories regardless Of the desire Of
some to prolong the struggle, simply
because it gives them fat government
job that peace will take from them.
