REGRET EXPRESSED.
The passports reached the minister
at p. m. They were accompanied by
a letter from Secretary Sherman, in
which the secretary expressed his re-
greet that the minister had felt called
upon to take this step. During the
afternoon the legation was in great
confusion, as the actual moving of ar
chives and records progressed These
were carried to large vans, and taken
TO the Austrian legation. Despite this
disorder of moving ambassadors, min
listers and diplomatic secretaries kept
calling in a constant stream They had
been officially informed of the minis
ter's purpose to depart, as /a had writ
ten a note to each foreign representa-
tive Immediately after calling for his
passports. The callers included repre-
sentatives of nearly every foreign es-
tablishment in Washington.
The Spanish legation is now closed.
An attendant remained there simply to
clear up the effects of hasty departure,
but the official existence of the legation
is terminated.
TERMINATED THIS, TOO.
The Cuban colonial delegation also
terminated its relations at Washington
this afternoon. 1t had come here by
appointment of the Cuban autonomic
cabinet for the main purpose of effect
ing reciprocity treaty. Senior An
gulo was at the head of the delegation.
He left for New York at 4 p. m. and
his associates accompanied him. Thus
both the representatives of Spain and
of Spanish rule in Cuba have termi-
mated their relations.

| 1t is unquestionably true that the out
side explosion theory as an explanation
of the destruction of the Maine has
grown in popular belief within the past
week. Yet it is difficult to point to a
single well authenticated fact either
discovered by the divers or testified to by
eyewitnesses before the court of in
curry that furnishes good reason for it.
Ninety-nine hundredths of the asser-
lions of correspondents at Havana
and Key West, are assertions mere
| ly. founded, when founded on any
! thing at all, on the impressions of some
man, whose name Is not given, but who
is described as person who would be
likely to know something about the dis
coveries. made by the divers. Manifestly
this is poor sort of testimony to base a
conclusion upon in so grave "a matter as
the one under examination. The ship
may have been blown up By external
agencies or she may have been destroyed
by something inside of her, and SO far as
any evidence has reached the public one
of these explanations has just as much
to support it as the other. The pre-
cautions which the government appears
to be taking to strengthen the seacoast
Notifications, and to man and equip
them, probably have had some affect to
strengthen the impression that the
Maine was blown up from the outside,
but their true significance is simply that
the government is in doubt, like the rest
OF us. To prepare to meet contingency
under such circumstances does not
necessarily signify that the contingency
is regarded as probable. We have been
for years putting our seacoast in shape
for defence, been mounting heavy guns
along it, constructing mines and making
other arrangements to 1epel an invasion,
but the inference to be drawn is not
that we expect an invasion. We have
simply been preparing for possible con-
tingency, and that is what the admins
tration is doing in the case of the Maine.
Its leaning is still toward the accident
theory, but if the evidence before the
court of inquiry shows that that theory is
untenable, and points to treacherous
action on the part of somebody it wants
to be prepared to meet the contingencies
that may arise from that state of facts.

The Hawaiian annexationists argue
in one breath that the native population
is very highly educated and moral peo-
pie, entirely fit for American citizenship.
But IN the next they argue that this
sG.ne people should have no voice in
determining the destiny of their country,
that they should keep perfectly still while
two or three thousand whits men bargain
it away. 1t strikes ssthe common mind
that population that is coed enough
for American citizenship ought to be
good enough to have, something to say
about what should be done with it's
country. At the North we have been
insisting for years On this doctrine. We
have imbedded it in our fundamental
law that the negro shall have as much
voice in determining the destiny of this
country as the white man, but we cheer
fully skip out to Hawaii and there de-
clare that the white man should be
supreme, and that it is little short of
brazen effrontery for the resident who
is not white to ask that his opinion shall
have any consideration.

The discontinuance of East Commercial
street may involve sacrifices that the city
o1ght not to make, and without better
understanding of the matter in all it's
bearings than we have at present we
should hesitate to express a definite
opinion in regard TO it whether it should
be done or not. We are heartily in favor
however, Of dealing literally with the
Grand Ycunk railroad and affording 1t all
the facilities consistent with the city's
interests. The road has done far more
for Portland than any other single
enterprise, and promises to do much
more in the future. In all it's dealings
with the city it has been fair and above
board, and has sorupulously kept it's
engagements. 1t deserves all the ac-
oommodation the city can reasonably
give it. Our merchants and our laboring
men derive great benefits from it, Indeed
every interest woaid be seriously affected
by anything that should cripple the
Grand Trunk road.
