WANTS CUBA FREED.
Senator Chandler Thinks Immediat tie
Action Desirable.

CONCORD, N. H., March 7.-Senator Will
liam E. Chandler to-day gave out the fol-
lowing interview on the crisis in our rela-
lions with Spain: "As to the cause of the
destruction of the Maine, have no opinion
as yet. Whatever may have caused it, the
incident is not without an important effect
upon public opinion all over the world. The
natural suspicious aroused against Spain,
or rather against Spaniards, have intensi-
fled American sentiment against Spanish
rule in Cuba and the calamity will hasten
American action and quicken the advent of
Cuban freedom, which, think, cannot be
much longer delayed. Spain probably will
release her hold upon Cuba without a col
lision of war with the United States, which
will last from fifteen minutes to three
months; no longer. That the United States
should run the risk of such q short war
with Spain in order to make Cuba free is
one of the plainest dictates of policy and
humanity. l cannot doubt that the Presi-
dent has made up his mind very soon to
take the necessary steps toward the de-
sired end and not to wait until time
when it will be said that he does it merely
in order to get up a war scare and save
the 1888 elections to the Republican party.
The time for action is now, and it should
be taken without fear of the results"
