War WITH Cnha Inevitable.

All conreame1t has been dropped by
the administration regarding the i'm
minence t trouble in Cube. Grave ap-
prehensons are ielt, not on ly by high
officials of the government. but by prom
inent members of the Senate and House
of Representatives regarding the future
of the island, and the statement was
made yesterday by prominent member
of the administration that war was prob
ably the only way ont Of the difficulty.
This frank statement vas made yester-
day for the purpose of scquainting the
country with the consequences almost
certain to develop within the next few
months, possibly within the next few
weeks, and perhaps within a few days.
The difficulty, as it is understood, is that
nobody in Cnbs desires peaceful settle
ment. Efforts on the part Of the United
States to provide for au election OF repre-
sentatives in Congress and the establish
ment of a stable government are not be-
ing met with real sympathy by either OF
the Cuban political parties.
The general ststf has elaborate plans
made for sending large forces of armed
troops to Cuba. 1t Is admitted that if
this country should oe confronted with
a general revolt in the island the entire
army of the United States, 65, 900 men
would probably be inadequate to cope
with the situation.
Within a few weeks, the Atlantic
fleet, under Rear Admiral Evans, will be
assembled in Cuban waters for its winter
practice cruise and reorganization. 1t
will consist of at least II bsttleships,
and in addition to the sailors, will have a
force Of perhaps 4, 900 marines. There
are also considerable forces OF marines
now in quarters in Psuamr, Culebra and
the Istbmus of Panama.

thrilled yesterday by the sight Ofs wom-
an standing in window of the Hotel
Calvert, at Forty-frst street. framed 10
lire. which WAS licking up the curtains
and the Christmas wreaths and with her
long. loose hanging hair in blaze.
While the horrified people watched
they saw men seize the woman just in
time to prevent her from leaping out OF
the window and drench her with water
from a fire hose. A rush of FIRE engines
and other apparatus to the hotel and the
arrival of a squad of reserve policemen
added TO the excitement.
The woman was Mrs. Mary Parker,
mother Of the wife of l.. f, Waterman,
IT,, wealthy merchant, who occupies s
suite OF four rooms on the Broadway
side of the fourth floor.
With streams IRON the fire hose In the
ball the FIRE was put out after Mrs.

KILLED IN RAILROAD ACCIDENT

A dispatch from Dundee, Scotland,
SAWS that in a railroad collision, caused
indirectly by the heavy snow storm OF
the last few days, sixteen persons have
been killed and over thirty injured. The
accident occurred near Arbrosth, on the
North British railroad, between Edln-
burgh and Aberdeen, and some distance
north of Dundee. Among the persons
injured is Alexander William Black,
member of the House OF Commons from
Banhsbire, Scotland.
The accident is attributed to the heavy
fall of snow, owing to which trains from
London for Aberdeen were held up at
Arbroath. Daring the afternoon, how
