There is hardly a possibility
now of avoiding a war with Spain
President McKinley seems to be
fully aware that bis demand for
Spain to quit Cuba will not be
acceded to but will probably send
an ultimatum yet before approT
ing a straight out declaration of
war. It is a fact that it was
thought by the cabinet best to be
uudivulgcd that the government
fools unprepared to jump right
into war.
There is an insufficient supply
of ammunition and there cannot be
such supply obtained to complete
a readiness as rapidly as the more
hasty would demand.
The president w hastily pre

and will get it in early next week
Thia will probably justify the
course that Las been criticised
rather harshly by those who seena
to to be unable to conceive that
he has been actuated by motives
of patriotism that will bear the
scrutiny of future years.
The Spanish flotilla of torpedo
boats have arrived at Porto Eico,
Spain has suddenly got quite
humane toward the reconcentra
does in Cuba, beside returning
them to their homes she has
placed the sum of $GOO,000 at the
disposal of Capt. Gen. Blanco for
aid to them. This is understood
to remove the'necessity for inter
vention on the part of the United
States on humanitarian grounds.
This is looked upon as it most
probably is, a subterfuge.
The diplomats are all at their
posts yet but do not know how
soon they may bid adieu, which is
the last step.
