Even If the Maine disaster is satisfac-
torily, perhaps harmoniously, settled be-
tween the United States and Spain, our
interest in Cuban territory will not end
there. The administration is opposed to
continuance of the distressing and de-
structiye warfare that blighted a fair
island and brought thousands Of it's in
habitants to the point of starvation
There may be an armistice arranged be-
tween the Spaniards and the insurgents,
following the expected failure of the
autonomist program; and this can be
brought about by the intervention of the
United States government. We do not
want Cuba, but we want to see civilized
and humane conditions prevail there,
whether their enforcement ultimately
causes the loss to Spain of a colony or
not. The interests of the people of Cuba
are more important in the eyes of Amer
leans than the territorial interests of
Spain. Peaceful intervention by this
country is almost sure to come in the
near future unless a war arising from
trouble over the Maine explosion creates
a wholly different outlook.
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-03-06

Whatever may be the decision of the
naval court of inquiry at Havana,
whether it will declare the destruction
of the Maine due to an external or in
ternal explosion, with or without the
connivance of Spain there can be no
question that the administration at
Washington regards the existence of har-
monious relations between the United
States and Spain as at present
threatened. This is shown both by Of
fetal reticence on the Maine matter, and
even more. by the preparations for in
creasing our sea and coast defences,
either in progress or in contemplation,
by the navy and army departments.
Moreover, it is believed that the passage
of the Boutelle artillery bill providing
for the addition of two regiments of ar
tillery to the regular army, which is
earnestly advocated by Maj. Gen. Wes-
ley Merritt, in command Of the army
department of the east, will be effected
without much opposition in congress.
If the report be true that Spain has
purchased four new naval vessels built
in Europe for Brazil, and that she also
intends to secure Chili's best vessel with
money derived from some unknown
source, it looks as il that country were
preparing for possible trouble ahead. 1t
is said to be known that President Nc
Kinley has directed the navy depart
nent to open negotiations looking to the
purchase abroad of warships likewise.
This is not surprising, and it is a COM
mendable step to take not as an actual
emergency measure, but as being in har-
mony with the principle that it is well
to be prepared for contingencies when
relations with another country are some
what strained
Should the Spanish court of inquiry
insist on the accident theory, even if
the decision of our court is that the ex-
plosion was designed by some unknown
or alleged party or parties, this might
lead to a severance of diplomatic rela-
tions between the two countries, and
thence to war. For, naturally, there
must be demand for indemnity from
Spain if this government accepts a de-
sign decision. and this demand would
not improbably be refused by Spain.
Still the two courts of inquiry may
possibly agree as to reports
Meanwhile anxiety will prevail
throughout the United States until our
courts decision is made known. That
will not happen for some days, in all
probability.

The bill to secure a uniform primary
election law in New York state has been
introduced in the legislature at Albany.
Governor Black believes that only a
few minor changes will be made, and
that it will become law. Tt seems to
be an excellent and needed bill, al
though the professional politicians are
inclined to be scepticaI about its results,
and do not anticipate that millennium
viii result therefrom. Whether it will
prove law that will clip the wings Of
the bosses for whose especial humilia-
ton it was designed. is an interesting
question which only an extended prac-
teal trial of its various provisions will
demonstrate.

Should Russia decide to settle one of
the eastern questions by undertaking to
make Prince George of Greece governor
of the island of Crete, such action on
her part would be welcomed not only in
Greece, but in this country whose SYM
pathies are not with the Turk. Such a
solution Of the Cretan question, which
caused the recent war between Greece
and Turkey, might not be relished by
certain European powers opposed to any
increase of Russian influence in inter
national affairs, and it would be ex-
tremely Objectionable to the sultan. Still
it is not unexpected.

Affairs in China seem to be going

Charles T. Yerkes and James w. ELS
worth, Chicago millionaires, are evident
ly of opinion that the atmosphere of the
windy city is not SO favorable to art as
to grain, pork and other products whose
handling has often led to wealth there.
Therefore the former has already re-
moved his fine collection of pictures to
New York, and the latter is about to do
so. The gases and dust of Chicago
have thus been directly responsible for
an increase in the art wealth Of New
York. The city fathers of the western
metropolis must pass an ordinance to
purify their atmosphere.

Some Of the genate committee on for

served by pushing g. bill for the acoui-
sition Of Hawaii and its organization as
an integral portion of the United States.
They reason that it is waste Of time
to keep postponing the final vote on the
treaty, which is likely to result in it's
defeat.
On the other hand, those who support
the views of Mr.. Davis, the chairman.
believe that the postponemsnt of the vote
will gain friends for the treaty in the
committee. This idea prevailed at Sat
urday's meeting, and the treaty will be
held probably in executive session until
