I' THuRsnAY, MARCH 3,1893:
let lusticeIand PIatience Rule.
I It is reasonably certain that the re-
portof. the. Naval BOard of Inquiry,
- :u‘yw investigating the loss of the {bat-
fleship Maine, will not be completed
:Im' aim-might and probably not until
"Mater period.
Thcre can «be no ascertained cause of
war with Spain until this Board of In-
grainy shall have completed its investi-
gation and made its ofii cial 1ep01t to
the government.
Unless some entirely unexpected
. .eause shall intei vene, theig can be no
not on by the gove1 nment affecting
on relations with Spain timing the
31 it two or three weeks,--and ample ~
hauling time will be given to those who
have become inflamed by the sensa-
' frontal. falsehoods ofIyellow-kid journals.
if the board shall report that the
. ressel was destroyed by an outside
engine of. destruction placed there by
Spanish authority, even though the
explosion was entirely accidental,
Spain would be justly responsible for
,restitution for the loss Of the vessel
smdindemnity for the sacrifice of life.
it would not be a cause for war, but it
anguish require a demand to be made by
this government on Spain for restitu-
tion and indemnity, and that might
hand to war by the refusal of Spain to
acknowledge her responsibility or by
her. refusal- to. arbitrate.
. Ifith‘e Maine was destroyed by an
internal explosion, _or if the Board of
Inquiry cannot conclusively determine
how the vessel was destroyed, there
can be no cause for war with Spain,
and our government would not be jus-
tified in making any demand .on the
Spanish Government for restitution or
indemnity. I
When the Boa1d of Inqui1 \ shall
have made its 1 eport its judgment must
he one of four things, That the
Maine was destroyed by asubmarine
engine of destruction exploded by the
{Spanish officers in Havana; or, that a
torpedo was accidentally exploded un-
der the vessel thereby causing internal
explosion that wrought such a sweep of
.Eratruction‘in the vessel; or that the
"i‘ml was destroyed by an internal
(explosion entirely acoldental for which
Spain could be in no way responsible;
nu, that the board Cannot intelligently
. thewrmine the cause ofthe destruction
(oi the vessel. ‘
if the Board of Inquiry shall report
abut. the Maine was destroyed by a sub-
marine mine or torpedo exploded by, or
under the control of Spanish military
ficers, it would be in itéelf as much a.
me for. w.a1 as if the Spanish wa1 ves-
in the Havana harbor had fiied a
;~nudside into the Maine and sunk her.
There could be no explanation or apol-
m. for such an act On the part of Spain,
and the Board of Inquiry would not re-
3st a judgment of such grave moment
viz. :_
unless the evidence was indisputable.
“Elie- question of war is, therefore, one
finicannot even be considered at the
Mt beyond the necessity for the
guarnment to complete its prepara-
. Jana for a conflict withSpain. That is
333c- plain duty of the government, and
his not doubted that that duty is being
ifinroughly and most earnestly per-
‘Immed. The better we shall be pre-
pared for 'war, the better assurance we
sill. have of peace.
Not only for the present, but for a
, Irhrtnight or longei to come, the ques-
item of war with Spain need not be dis-
med, as there can be no information
mlyanant the assumption that wa1 is
. 1119011 118. ’The public will become nau-
acated with the fiendish Or imbecile
. sensational war despatches published
'_ intbe yellow-kid journals of the coun-
try, and it is quitelikely that long be-
from the Board of Inquiry shall have
" not its report. even the yellow kids of
.. ’ jmmalism will be shamed into some
‘ ”preach to journalistic decency.
