We cannot refrain from re marking that those of our citi zens who are predicting the bat tle of Manilla will end the war are reckoning without paying due consideration to their host. If we were dealing with any oth er nation on the globe these pre dictions might be assumed cor rect. But no man can foretell how the Spaniards will view the matter. The Spaniard is the biggest fool on the face of the earth. Stupid in ignorance, blinded by bigotry, inflated with sejf conceit, that inspires him with the belief that a direct line of ancestry from the celebratad Dons is a match for an eight inch cannon, he is just as liable as not to drive us into sinking the ships he has left and killing a score of the thousands of sol diers he has in Cuba. Nobody but a fool would have forced us into this war. When it became manifest that his misrule in Cuba had so outraged the peo pie of the United States that they had determined to put an) end to it, any man in the world but a Spaniard would have with drawn from the island and left the Cubans to themselves. Some other nationalities who upon get ting notice to quit might have broke up all the furniture in the place, but would have quit all the same. Not so with the Span iard. Though any other sane tnm could see he was entering upon a war in which he must be ilestroyed, he tenderly threw himself back upon a long line of ancestry and notified the world he would return shot for shot. It is therefore by no means cer tain that the Spaniard is going to give up the light yet. Know ing Cuba is lost it is announced by the Queen Regent, Spain will tight to the bitter end So we see nothing for this country to do than to repeat the - lesson . given at Manilla, after that is accomplished Spanish honor (?) may be satisfied and he may be willing to play quit, of Major geueral by popular acclaim. We rejoic that our J-eeas bejen made ,a ;Iaj3r KjeaeraL :Wft rejoice that old UpeWlueler has been , made a Wor general. They are both eminently qualified for the niah rant, and will add more luster to their sunny, home. Mr, Mc tuniey in. .ppoiDtinfir thee brave Southern heroes has done nothing but his duty, in this the nations hour of peril, and war. We shall be disappointed if they do not give a good ac count of themselves on the field of battle. Troops Mobilizing for Cnba.

MCKINLEY The news that Fitzhugh Lee Ins been made a Major General , in the United States Army will be hailed with delight, in the North and in the South. Thia brave man is undoubtedly the man of the hour. He was born aFoldier, he has had the best military training at school, and he has had the experience of a leader in one of the most gigan tic wars in modern times. With out disparaging others, -ve be lieve, taking all things intc consideration, h i r military training, his thorough - knowl edge of the Cuban situation, his record as a soldier and the un bounded confidence the soldiers of the country have in him, he is better qualified than any man in the United States for leader ship in this war. His record as a Confederate general, and his more recent record as Consul general at Havana, were such as to entitle him to the most dis the Manilla Cable not Repaired. y Telegraph to The Messearer.
