A year ago yesterday the Maine was
blown up In Havana harbor. Unques
tionably this act precipitaced the Span
ish war. 10 be sure Congress had long
agitated the question of interference
in Cuba, but the people had rather
lauguidly followed the debates and there
was no wide special and general senti-
ment in favor of interference. But the
blowing up Of the Maine angs7ed the
people, and the pleasssfor Intervention
which had previously fallen on ears dis
inclined TO listen began to attract atten-
ton and make an Impression. The war
was begun not as a war of retribution,
but it is safo to say that it would not
h.ve been begun when it WIS had not
the idea of retribution taken possession
Of the public mind. Its results we all
know. We have deprived Spain of her
possessions in the Western Hemisphere
and compelled her to part with the Phil
ippines for SO, 100000 And we have
both e !ha and the Philippines on our
b mes, the former TO pacify and the latter
TO conquer. We shall remember the
Maine q long time as the virtual begin
Ming of n war in which we won much
glory and assumed obligations which will
cost US millions of money, and nobody

That the report the War Commission

That the report of the War Commission
upon the embal,ned beef scandal Is
not regarded as conclusive by the admin
istration is made very clear by the sp-
poirtment of a court of inquiry composed
of army officers to take up the question
specially and make thorough inquiry.
The War Commission found practically
that Gen. Miles charge that much Of the
beef had been treated with ohemicalsiwss
unsustained, and intimated very plainly
that DIR. DAILY testimony was either false
OF grossly mistaken. Had there not been
Ia feeling that tho commission had not
sufficiently examined the case to make
their report generally accepted there
would not have been a court of inquiry
appointed to go over this matter again.

the public would nos accept it as conclus
I've and SO wisely decided upon another
investigation by.men.who would be above

Representative McFadden says about the

the constantly increasing demands upon

tendency to cverdo charity as well as
most anything else in the world. Never

many in the north is shown by the
fact that, recently, orders were sent
to the mandarins and taotais of all dis
tricts and provinces, ordering them to
concentrate what fighting men they
could and prepare for war. The ar
senals have been ordered to push for
ward the manufacture of arms and am
munition with all haste. a late edict
places Viceroy Liu in charge of the
people.
The Chinese navy, also, according to
late reports. is getting ready for an
emergency.
Trouble has occurred recently in

sending expeditions to punish the ma
