New York. March 29.-That the bat
i.eship Maine through an error was
DESTROYED by a bomb of his manu-
,acture. was the statement made by
Gessler Rosseau in the Tombs prison.
Rousseau was convicted of having sent
explosives to the Cunard line pier. In
this city. in May. 1908. He made the
following statement:
For several years, while the Cuban

Der of American and European adven-
tirers who were anxious to strike a
blow for Cuban freedom.
81 suggested to them that they use
nv machines TO destroy Spanish war
ships in the harhor Of Havana and in
other ports on the coast Of the island.
They readily seized upon the idea. and
when the Destroyer sailed with the
hlibusters they took my two machines
with them.
1T was planned to have some mem
bers of the revolutionary party join
the Spanish navy so as to get the ma
chimes aboard. II that failed II was

ships and Numbered into blowing up
the Maine.
q was told that the man. imme-

PEACE WILL BE WELCOMED.

The whole civilized world will re
ioice to know that there is now some
real tangible prospect OF immediate
peace in the far East The harrow
ing details OF slaughter OF which we
have almost daily read for more than
avear have been sickeningand revolt
lug. Ii this is the effect upon the
Other nations OF the world. what
must the effect OF continued blood
she'd and carnage be upon the people
oi the nations actually engaged?
Aud no more wonder that the Rus
san people everywhere are reported
as falling on their knees in thanks
giving.
When we came through our little
skirmish with Spain ii was every
where held that modern warfare was
not us sanguinary as it was under
the old conditions; that armies did
not get close together in hand e.
hand contests aud that modern long
range guns had done away with the
slaughter incident 10 close range
fighting. but We fail to take into ac-
count that Spain was III no way a
match for us. and that shewaS really
whipped before the fighting began
The folly OF this assumption has been
fully demonstrated. The evidence
afforded by Japanese-Russian war
clearly shows that when two power
ful, determined nations now grapple
in war the carnage is something hor-
rible TO contemplate. andwe are con-
fronted by stories OF slaughter such
asthe world never before saw in battle
Japan is Justly entitled TO thelaurels
Of victory and Russia is entitled to
honorable terms OF peace. LET u
hope that negotiations now on foot
will bring peace speedily. II is a con
summation devoutly to be- wished.
