Thinks 1t No Cause for wnr.

Representative Hilborne of California.
ranking Republican member of the house
committee on naval affairs. believed that
the request for General Lees recall and
the subsequent refusal could not be made
a cause for war. There We're precedents
where our ministers or high diplomatic
officials abroad had become unacceptable
TO the country TO which they were credited.
Judge Hilborne recalled the case OF Min
lister Sergeant. at Berlin, whose recall was
requested some fifteen years ago by the
German government. The most this coun-
try could do. Judge Hilborne thinks. if
Consul General Lees term is brought to
an end by Spain's act. is to refuse to ap-
point another in his place.
II believe We have a right to send relief
to Cuba in any kind of vessels We wish,''
declared Judge Hilborne.
We might arm our merchant vessels. if
they were transporting this relief to Cuba
and Spain would have no right to object
unless there was a treaty with this gov
ernment, such as exists with England, re-
gardng vessels on the Great lakes. against
arming such vessels

were attracting so much official and public
attention. He had received no word from
his government concerning General Lee.
and he stated positively that no suggestions
concerning General Lees retirement had
been submitted by him TO the state depart

As TO the sending of relief supplies by the
Montgomery and Nashville. Mr.. DuBosc
said he felt that merchant vessels were
much better equipped for such service and
their use was not open to that misconstruc-
tion possible in sending supplies by vessels
of the navy.
The news concerning General Lee aroused
the deepest interest, and no little excite

THE SPANISH RESOLUTION.

Spain will not yet give up. That Is perhaps the
most important news of the day. Assuredly II IS
the most ominous for Spain herself. The Ma
drid Government means TO continue the war; as
n Spanish saving has 1t, WAR TO the knife and
the knife TO the hilt" An rremeliable blow
has been sustained in the Philippines, and all
has been lost save honor. But Spanish honor Is
not satisfied. There will he no prompt yielding
TO a force that is manifestly superior. as some
have hoped and predicted. Instead the hopeless
struggle will be prolonged TO the very end. There
can be no expectation Of victory, or Of interven-
ton I'm Spain's behalf. There can be no hope OF
securing better terms than would now he
granted The only conceivable motive Is 10
make the war as long and troublesome and
costly as possible to this Nation, no matter II
Spain herself be ruined in the doing Of It.
That is a resolution which the friends OF
Spain will deeply regret. They will not, how
ever. be puzzled TO understand It, Weyerism
is the malefc force. That lover Of blood and
gold has made himself along with Romero Ro-
bledo the leader of the party OF hatred and re-
action. He has so reused the passions Of the
mob and Of the swashbucklers Of the army as
TO menace the Government And the Govern
ment has been madly led 10 think It's only safe
" lies In out-Weylerlng Weyler. SO the wise,
calm words Of Senor Silvela which pointed TO
Spain an honorable escape from her Affections,
have been ignored. The earnest advice of
French and other Continental friends is
sighted The Government decides TO continue
the war and to listen to no talk Of peace so long
as it has a ship afloat that can be sent against
the United States.
But that way madness, not safety. lies. For
II the mob Of Madrid Is ncensed against the
Government to-day for its disaster at Manila,
what will 1t say when the next naval engage
ment ends in still greater disaster? II the
Government dares not sue for peace after one
bad defeat, how will It dare do so after an
other and q worse one? 1t Is treasurlng up
wrath against day of greater wrath. And
these Weyers and Robledos. whose desperate
policy the Government adopts. will be the first
and fiercest to turn and rend that Government
when that policy reaches its inevitable conclu-
sion 1t would be far better for the Govern
mcnt and for the dynasty. as well as for the
Spanish nation. 10 recognize the inevitable and
WELD at once Spanish valor has been vindi-
Gated at Manila. and there would now be no
dishonOr In giving up the unequal fight. But
the decision is otherwise. The fight is 10 60 on.
That is Spans resolution. Fortunate will she
he II for resolution we do not soon have cause
to write revolution.
