The protest entered against Dr. Jmnieson is not meeting with popu- lar favor even amongst the Liberals themselves.

That they are unprepared for war at the present juncture, is graphically described in an extract from a speech recently ‘ made by Rear-Admiral Henry Erber, in which he condemns the govern- ment for negligence in keeping up the Army and Navy. He says they have lots of ships, but no menâ€"that is trained men fit to go to sea. Us- in}; his own words, he says: “ “’6 want men, we haven’t got them. and where we will get them. God only 'knows. The first thing in the art of self-defence is to keep a civil tongue in your head. and I think we should have done that until we were ready. Then again. the National Guard or- ganizations throughout the country, by their appeals to Congressmen, succeeded in defeating the bill for the re-organization of the Army. This. in the face of such a grave crisis, seems suicidal. The States- men who are trying to keep their fellow countrymen in chi ck are wise. They are calm enough to bring com- mon sense to bear on the question, but the publi‘e demands war, and will probably get it. to their cost, what- ever the result.” Goldwin Smith, who has been Spending a couple of months in the United States. being interviewed by a M ail and Empire reporter, gives it as his opinion that. the nation is being hurried into the Spanish war before the resources of diplomacy have been exhausted. He says “War about the destruction of the Maine is manifest- ly premature when the act has not been traced to the Spanish Govern- ment or any one connected with it ; and before any demand lcr indemnity has been made and refused.

The Spainiards are not scared over the resolution. The following quotation from “Cur-' rent History,” a quarterly magazine published in Boston, Mass. shows the financial standing of Cuba: “Until 181) '4Cuba had no debt and: yielded Spain an 81101 mous yearly revenue.

This war is estimated to hue cost Spain $275.,.000000 so that the present debt must be abouts $113 500 000.

The Senate and House have agreed, and the agreement means that Spain must quit Cuba. The President has been directed, and em- powered to see that the resolutions agreed upon by Ccngress are carried into effect. The substance of the resolution is that Cuba must be free. and independent of Spain. That it is the duty of the United States to de- mand Spain to relinquish her claim at once, and to withdraw her land and naval forces from the island of Cuba, and also. that the United States dis- claims any disposition or intention to exercise sc vereignty, jurisdiction or control over the island, except for the pacification thereof. and as- serts its determination when that is accomplished, to leave the govern- ment and control of the island to its people.

He says: The S'tar Life originated with the Wesley- an Methodists. and in England had loaned a million sterling to churches without losing two-pence of principal or interest. They had been invited to Canada by the higher rate of inter- est prevailing here, and thus far had lost nothing, and didn’t think they were going to lose by the Taber- nacle loan.” It is not likely that the people will be able to liquidate the debt easily, but the. proposition of Mr, Hubson to take over the building and convert it into a theatre or a music hall, may spur them into activity.
