And pensiveness and keen regret

The bloom Of lovely womanhood

WAR CONFERENCES.
GEN. Miles, Rear Admiral Sfcard and
Secretaries Long md Alger Meet.

Secretaries Long md AIger Meet.
Gen Miles was sent for by Secretary
of War Alger at the White House few
moments after the President had signed
the resolutions, and they were in con-
ference for nearly two hours. During
the consultation, which partook of the
nature of a council of war, final plans
Were made for instant action Immediately
following the declaration of hostilities.
Secretary Alger who throughout the
long period Of uncertainty. as to Execu-
tive action. has maintained the ground,
in and out of deliberations of the Cab
met that war should be declared with
out further clubbing and that the United
States should Immediately intervene, was
extremely reticent concerning the con-
ference.

IL Comments ON the Fact That War
Is Certafu.

Ii Comments ON the Fact That Wal
Is Certain.
London. April 19.-The newspapers here
comment on the situation as though wal
had already been declared The action OF
Congress is not unanimously indorsed
The Standard thinks that il will be the
| verdict of all impartial judges that In
peremptoriIy calling upon Spain to declare
her purpose forthwith the American Gov
ernment departs wrongfully and unwisely
from the principles hitherto respected in
the relations of civilized nations. 1t says
that in despising the conventions of diplo-
macy Washington sacrifices the spirit of
! reasonableness. Senor Sagasta and the
| Spaniards will apparently have no choice
but to answer what they regard as an
insult with fiat defiance, and the two
countries will be plunged gratuitously
into an exhausting struggle. from which
neither can discern a prospect of moral
or material advantage.
| The Daily News says it cannot help
thinking that the resolution of the House
or Representatives was wiser as well as
more moderate than that of the Senate,
but the jingo party in the Senate won
the day. 1t is quite conceivable that both
nations I'm the long run will have reason
to regret the decision at which both have
arrived. Had Spain been able TO consider
her real interests with coolness even
few weeks ago, she could have found a
way out of her difficulties which would
not have derogated her dignity, however
IL might have offended her vested inter-
ests.
Had the American people enjoyed the
advantage of more calm. statesmanlike
guidance than is found in Congress they
might with patience and courtesy have
secured for the Cubans an emancipation
much more TO the Cuban mind than any
that is likely to result from the defeat
of Spain. They will obviously have to
face some embarrassing questions in the
near future, while the remoter conse-
quences of what will prove a new depart
ure in the policy of the United States
may well be found highly disadvanta-
geous.
The Chronicle is impressed by the fact
that the world is once more face to face
with war between two Christian nations,
despite all the advances of civilization
the horrors and failures Of past wars and
all religious teachings, but II sees in the
United States an agent chosen by right
eousness to avehge the iniquities Spain
has inflicted on her colonies.
The Morning Post remarks that the
peace of the world as between the great
civilized nations of Christendom is about
to be broken for the first time since 1871.

Toronto. Ont. April 19.-Prof. Goldwin
Smith returned home Yesterday after
spending two months at Lakewood, y. J.
in referring TO the present warlike COM
plications, he said:
MY impression is thst the American
nation is being hurried into war before
the resources of diplomacy have been ex-
hausted, by the violence of congressional
fre-eaters and by the sensational press
against the good sense of that COM
munity. War over the destruction of the

paid not the slightest attention, and the

CFrom the New Orleans Times Democrat)
During these troublous times the ques-
tions asked of a newspaper over the tele-
phone are not only too numerous for con-
venience but are varied and unique The
other night-or rather at o'clock in the
morning-someone rang up and said:
will you please tell me how many civil
lied Indians there are in the United
States?' Another rang up to ask some
thing about the Vizcaya. and the follow
ing conversation ensued:

"Oh, l don't think so. What is her ar
mament?'
Another one said: us il true that Gen.
Lee has been blown up?'
Another time q voice sounding like that
of a foreigner said: Are Chinese soldiers
seven feet tall?'
Then someone switched over into do
mestic affairs and inquired: Who COM
manded the Chicago police during the
Haymarket riots?"
The telephone business around the

to proceed with the ceremony to the best

inquired:
