SATURDAY. APRIL
18H8.
[IVAIR ALMOST CERTAIN.
Wihi'te some wiseacres insist that
there is no danger or war, it is pain?
fully evident that the finances for an
amicable adjustment of 'the Spanish
American dillleuH'ies are very remote.
In fact, nothing less than a remarkable
change of policy on the part of one of
tho contending governments can pre?
vent aconlllct. The President will send
?to Congress Monday d special message
reviewing t'he 'hiHtory of the Cuban
struggle. There is a strong probability
that the transmission of the message
'Will be followed promptly by the piss
ag'e of a resolution recognizing the in?
dependence of Cuba. The adoption of
touch a resolution would be equivalent
to a decP.ir.ition of war, and it is not
unlikely t<hat 'houtilllies would begin a
few hours afterward. The Daily
Press earnestly 'hopes t'hot the trouble
may yet be settled to the 'honor and
glory of the American .people without
a resort 'to arms, but it must needs
confess that all Indications point t<>
?war.
II ANN A AND CONFERENCES.
A Washington dispatch says: "Sen?
ator Hantsa was not tit tho White
House conference. He was at the the?
atre," On first tihougilit this seeming
neglect of t'he grea'test Ohio dollar Mark
Would seem to l>.> 1 ncooiipreSiensible.
(How can t'ho man who, with entirely
tumWiflsh motives, devoted his time ?u. <\
subst-antiisU bank -ecounl to el*c.ritg
William iMclCfnley to the presidency lag
behind a t conferences which may m ike
or mar the national "honor" of which
? his hired orators spoke so much in the
last presidential campaign? How can
t'he greatest patriot and most unselfis'h
holder of Spanii-h blocks coolly 'Kx>k
upon a mere play When his esteemed
uonttemporaries art- wrestling with ques?
tions of "to 'be or not to be?" To a
person unacquainted with the record of
Wie Cleveland b<*ss the statement of tho
(Washington dispatch might seem iitex
jptiodble. Those wito have kept up with
the excellent manner in which he has
^^^-.n-i^potKcb'<? under control, how,
'"ever, witil hardly 'be snrprWA tjcU his
'ihetnilfesn'?BB hi rc-ga:d to tfonfeTonce?. lie
knows well enough that lie will be con
suited before any rarfh or unusual ac
??tato is taken. His formal attendance
upon the conferences would be. a waste
of time and your Uncle Mark's bank ac?
count is pretty good evidence of the
fact that he has a moral antipathy to
. "wasting anything. Ho knows bin dl
irtectloiis will l>e tan:tied out if possible.
"What more could he desire?
If there is to be war between tine Uni?
ted State-ti and S*/u'in Mr. McKinley
Should request his Castii.an friends, as
a last mark of their esteem
to mako Weyler commander: of the
Spanish army in Cuba. Tltero would
then be no necessity to call for volun?
teers. Tin-re are so many Americans
wlho hate tihls gentleman wiUli a. good,
tfione-st, cordial 'hatred that an over
wtheiiimng army of them would volun?
teer In the hope of getting a crack ut
lW.? fiend In human shape.
iForcign newspapers occasionally con
Etain a reference to "Secretary ?her
i rnan."?Mun<ne?te-r Union.
'Which is another striking illustration
'.of tho fact that foreign newspapers
J know Very little about American a/fairs.
BpaSn wants until April 15 to make a
