EIGHT PAGEIS.
Spanish newspapers urge the govern?
ment to prepare for war.
The story that Consul General Lee had
asked Oemral Blanco, to dismiss cer?
tain newspaper men for sending out
sensational reports Is denied by Gene?
ral Lee.
"When Queen Victoria ascended the
throne nvore that 41 per cent, of the
people In, British Islands could not write
their own names. The proportion in
that condition has now been reduced to
7 per cent.
"There 13 nothing," says a contem?
porary, "In General Lew 'Wallace's crit?
icism of the conduct of General Mc
Clellan to Justify a Michigan man in
challenging Wnllace to light a duel."
True, and there was nothing in that
silly Incident to justify the wide publi?
cation It received.
The Chicago Times Herald says that
as soon as the truth about the destruc?
tion of tho Maine Is established it will
be known In "Washington, and as soon
as It is known there the American ad?
ministration will be fully advised of
the facts. In the meantime keep cool
and let the sensational poster sheets
Jiave a monopoly of the wnr excitement.
"In this great crisis," says the Savnn
na.Ti Press, "the American Government
has at Its port of greatest danger an
ex-Confederate soldier, a nephew of the
great Robert E. Lee, and he Is master
of the situation." And the Mississippi
Legislature 'umbly thanks the President
for allowing him to stay there, as a mark
of confidence In the "loyally" of the
South. Humbly In this connection Is a
bad word.
The New Orleans States Is of the
opinion that there Is no need for this
Government to annex Hawaii, for the
reason that wc now exercise a protecto?
rate over the islands and have done so
for more than fifty years. ."We have a
concession for a coaling and naval sta?
tion In Pearl harbor and that is all we
desire. This concession will give us the
right to land a cable line on the Islands
whenever wc sec fit to lay one from San
Francisco to Japan.
"I do not propose to do anything at
all to precipitate war with Spain. Up
to the present I do not think war Is
either necessary or Inevitable. I would
ibe lax in my duty, however. If I did not
prepare ifor the future. The situation Is
grave, end the policy of the adminis?
tration will be determined almost entire?
ly by the course of events from time to
time. There Is no necessity of alarm?
ing the .people, but Congress must be
ready to assist the administration with?
out making too many Inquiries as to the
course of current events."?President
McKinley.
OKNEKAIi WILLIAM It. TAI.IAi
FEKKO.
By the death of General William B.
Taliafcrro at his home. In Gloucester |
county, Sunday at mldnigltt, Virginia
is bereft of one of her most distin?
guished sons, who during a long and
eventful life had served her well and
faithfully. He was Indeed a splendid
citizen, a true and Incorruptible patriot
and a noble and chivalrous man. He
was Intensely a Virginian, loving his
State with a devotion not surpassed by
any of her sons, and proud of her
traditions and her history. He was
the very soul of honor, gentle as a
woman, brave as a lion, with a
gracious and courtly bearing and mien
that ever Inspired confidence and
commanded respect. It. can truly he
said that his passing away will be
lamented throughout the Common?
wealth.
??IHK REAL PUIKXII OF THE
NORTH."
The Washington Post advances the
opinion 'that "the negro has no real
(friends at the North. Wc are willing
to believe, Dor we see something of It
here, that the negro does not show
to advantage after crossing the Poto?
mac and the Ohio. It seems to us that
the further he wanders from the South
the .more bumptlaus and offensive he
'becomes. But this Is largely due to
the fact that he realizes tho hostile envi?
ronment In which he Is placed, and In
his foolish way resents It. The fact re?
mains, however. The negro's best and
most genuine friends are at the South,
and It Is among the former slave-hold?
ing classes that ho finds the truest es?
teem and the most helpful friendship.''
Tho Post Is correct In Its conclusions
about tho matter, and If it were neces?
sary proof in abundance could bo fur?
nished that what it says is so.
WILL l.llltol'i: INTERVENE?
The possibility of European Interven?
tion in the event of the United States
going to war with Spain, either be?
cause of the Maine affair or to end
the bloodshed In Cuba, Is said to be
attracting some attention in Washing?
ton. The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican says
that "it Is beginning to be felt In the
Oablnet. from sundry hints dropped In
diplomatic circles, that nearly every
government In Europe might unite In
a protest If tho United States deliber?
ately Interferes In Cuba for the pur?
pose of' putting an end to the sover?
eignty of tho Spanish crown. Thero
Is not so much fear of Great Britain
as of the other powers, but from tho
strict standpoint Of International law
a unanimous protest against the right
of this country to order other sover
'elgnties out of their possessions would
riot be a surprise to those who under?
stand the situation. A much graver
question, therefore. Is raised than that
of fighting the Spanish navy or i the
patriotic frenzy of Wie Spanish people,
which brought such disaster t.> tho
great armies of Napoleon.
"How far other governments would
go to the armed nsslstance of Spain
Is of course unknown, but It Is not
Improbable that Germany, France,
Italy and Austria, conscious of their
strength In acting1 together, might de?
liver a note to Secretary Sherman de?
claring that they were prepared to, re?
sist by forco of arms the practical
execution of the doctrine that this
country or any other country had the
right to Interfere in a conflict between
an Independent sovereignty and its
subjects and order the governing
power to abdicate Its sovereignty.
Such commands have not been usual
among civilized powers sine? Napoleon
Issued his decrees to Denmark and the
German states that they must go to
war with Great Britain or Russia at
his bidding.
"The ease of the European powers
would'be so strong In the court of in?
ternational law and would be backed
up by such military and naval power
President McKinley and the Cabinet
are giving very serious considera?
tion to the difficulties In which they
might Involve this country by hasty
or Ill-considered action."
Assuming that the correspondent is
not mistaken In his information, this
puts a new phase upon the- possible
outcome of the differences between the
United States and Spain. But will the
powers of Europe intervene? Is a ques?
tion. Certainly no sentimental consid?
eration will cause them to do so. If,
however, they find it to their Interests
to Interfere they'll not hesitate to do
so.
It Is not n't all Improbable that as a
result of the talk of war with Spain a
lasting Impetus will be given to the
movement for raising this nation to the
rank of a first-class naval power, thinks
the Hartford (Conn.) Telegraph, and It
Is right. The thrcs.t of hostilities at sea
has brought home to every thinking
man our lack of the means of ready de?
fense. Comparison with the navies of
other great nations shows that we oc?
cupy an Inferior rank. It also reveals
that we arc doing less to strengthen
our sea defenses than several nations
of far less domestic wealth and foreign
comimeree.
In hie annual report Secretary Long
gives some interesting llgures of naval
preparations In progress all over the
world. Great Britain leads in these
preparations, despite the fact that she
is now the ranking naval power. She
I has already appropriated over twenty
six million dollars for new battle ships
this year. France hits under construc?
tion seven battle ships, eight armored
cruisers, ten protected cruisers and va?
rious other lighting vessels to the total
of sixty-nine keels. Germany has vot?
ed nine million dollirs for new ships to
be built during the year?three flr--t
class battle ships one armored cruiser,
five protected cruisers, one torpedo-boat
destroyer, eight torpedo boats and two
gunboats. The Russian appropriation
Is seven and a half million dollars, for
nine battle ships, two coast defense ves?
sels, two armored cruisers, four gun?
boats, and forty torpedo craft.
Italy has allowed five millions for
naval construct inn, and has ordered five
hat tic ships, live armored cruisers, one
protected cruisers and fifteen torpedo
craft. Eyen Japan seems determined
to .make herself mistress of the raciflc
Ocean. With her present fleet as a nu?
cleus, the Telegraph asserts that she is
?building a navy that will place her
ahead of Russia, Germany, Italy, Spain
or the United Stales.
"The Army and Navy Year Book"
rates the navies of the world as follows:
1, Great Britain; 2, France, 3, Russia;
4, Italy; 5, United States; C, Germany;
7, Spain; 8, Japan; 9, Austria; and 10,
Netherlands', but, under present naval
contracts according to the Now York
Tlrlbune, Japan in 1S!>9 will go to the
fifth place, crowding down the United
?States and Germany one point.
It would seem from all this that we
need to bestir ourselves In the way of
! building up our navy even though our
differences with Spain should be ami
ealbly settled.
