The war department bill, otherwise
known a* the Hull bill, to provide for tem

under the immediate supervision of Assis
tant Secretary Meikeljohn.
The following are the provisions of the

Sec. 3. Tliat the regular army is the per

ing to law.
Sec. 4. That the volunteer army shall be

army shall be for a term of three years,
unless sooner terminated, and that all of
ficers and men composing said army shall
be discharged from the service of the
United States when the purposes sos which
they were called Into service shall have
been accomplished, or on the conclusion of
hostilities.
See. 5. That when it becomes necessary
■to raise a volunteers army the President
shall Issue his proclamation stating the
number of man desired, within such limits
as may lie fixed by law, and the secretary

necessary for the purpose of examining,

ination as to fitness and capacity as the
President may prescribe.

*
What It Will Cost.
Now that we have plunged into .it. we
may take time to figure out what this war
with Spain is likely to cost.
The spectacular part of the affair Is
over; we must now get down to business.
Already lite ways and means committee
of the house is elaborating a measure of
war taxation, to raise the money to carry
on hostilities. The $50,000,000 emergency
fund has already been largely trenched
upon, in purchasing guns and munitions
of war. in buying vessels for the navy and
in putting our coast defenses in good
shape. More money is needed at once.
A hundred million dollars a year is to
be added to the taxes of the American
people to meet war expenses. A bill will
be introduced authorizing the issue of
$600,000,000 in bonds of low denominations,
to be sold to the people through the post-,
offices of the country. It will be seen that
the financial burden of this war will be a
heavy one, and that the government is con
vinced it is not going to be settled by a
■battle or two, and the sweeping of the
Spaniards out of Cuba. It is easy to loose
the dogs of war, but to bring them again
into leash is a task to which the labors of
Hercules were as child’s play.
If Governor Atkinson should make good
his threat to lead Georgia’s troops in case
of war. It is a natural conclusion that pro
motions would be made, not on merit nor
for deeds of valor, but solely on political
•’pulls.”
is . -
Spain's Answer.
Although Spain is allowed until Satur
day night to answer the final demands
made upon her by the United States no
reasonable person can consider it neces
sary to wait long before reading her an
swer.
It may come today or tomorrow, but as
for that matter, we already have it ’ It
will be an arrogant refusal to comply with
this government’s demands.
The Spanish Cortes met yesterday and
the time specified in the ultimatum will
allow that body to express the will of the
people of that country on the proposition.
But this is a formality, inasmuch as the
verdict has already been made up. •
However, the Cortes alone has the pow
er, under the Spanish constitution, to sur
render sovereignty over any part of Spain’s
dominions, hence it was just and proper
that the President should give time to al
low that body to speak on this question.
Neither the President nor anyone else
however, doubts what that answer will be.
Already this government is rushing its
troops to the front, realizing that hostili
ties must begin almost at once. Perhaps
tomorrow, maybe as late as Saturday; cer
tainly not later than the beginning of next
(Week.
War, and What Led Up To It.
Now that the war is on, it js worth
while for the people of the United States
to view intelligently the real situation
and the causes leading thereto. • I
For more than three years the people of
Cuba have been fighting for independence.
The people of the United States have sym
patfliizx-d deeply with them in that strug- ;
gle.
At the outbreak of the revolution (Feb- '
ruary 21, 1895) General Emilio Caileja was ’
Captain General of Cuba. He failed to put
down the revolution with the combined I
Spanish forces of Cuba and of Puerto Rico, i
He was succeeded by Marshal Martinez ■
Campos, an experienced and therefore
successful Spanish leader. Compos arriv
ed from Spain with reinforcements April
16, 1895, and took charge of the war as
Captain General of the island.
September 3, J 895, the provisional gov
ernment of the revolution was succeeded
by the regularly organized republic of
Cuba, with -Sahl lor (,’iineroa Betancourt
as regularly elected president.
General Campos strove to conduct tfhe
war with respectful regard to the rules of
modern warfare; but his subordinate gen
erals opposed him in this, and were guilty
of savage acts of cruelty. Two of them—
General Bazan and General Salcedo—were
dismissed by General Campos for barbarity
in the field, and were sent home to Spain,
in February General Campos was suc
ceeded by General Nicola Valerkano Wey
ler, already known for cruelty and sav
agery, as ”E1 Camiceso, (the butcher.)
The Cuban horrors iwhich followed the
arrival of General Weyler never can be
imagined by those wlho did not witness
them. His great strategetic plan consist
ed of two features: (1.) To drive all the
unarmed and defenseless people from their
fields and means of subsistence into the
cities and there starve them to death,
men, women and children alike; and (2)
1 o stack Cuban field hospitals, massacre
the defenseless inmates, multiply the
number of victims from five to ten. and re
port the massacre to Spain as a great vic
tory over the Cubans in the field.
General Weyler was supported in this
policy by Spain’s conservative prime min
ister, Canovas.
The Uni'ted States, under the then new
administration of President McKinley was
preparing to intervene in behalf of hu
manity and to demand that General Wey
ler's savage “policy of concentration ’ be
abandoned and reversed when (August 8,
1897) Prime Minister Canovas was assassi
nated in Madrid.
Spain’s Queen Regent made use of the
inciden't to alter, ostensibly, at least, the
Cuban policy in the direction demanded by
the United uSates. The Liberal leader, Se
nor Sagasta, was called to power. He
promptly recalled General Weyler, offered
Cuba a so-called autonimous government,
reversed the “policy of concentration” and
sent over General Blanco to carry out the
new pcfl.lcy, as General Weyler's successor
in the Captain Generalship of Cuba.
Tire Republic of Cuba, which meantime
had held another presidential election, re
jected Spain’s offer of so-called autonomy,
and declared with great unanimity for
“independence or death.”
The reversal of the "policy of concen
tration” could not at once restore the
abandoned fields to cultivation; and mean
time the “reconcentrados” continued to
starve, till it is estimated that nearly or
quite half of the people of Cuba have
perished.”
Spain’s unsuccessful effort to suppress
the revolution now had been going on for
nearly three years, during which time the
Impatience of the United States had been
steadily increasing. Accordingly President
McKinley last December gave Spain dis
tinctly to understand that a reasonable
length of time, say till A.pril 1,189 S (be
ginning of the rainy season), would be al
lowed Spain to demonstrate her ability
under the new policy of "autonomy” to
suppress the revolution and restore to the
island peace, industry and commercial ac
tivity, but that the. failure of Spain in this
particular would be followed by active In
terve.ntion of the United States in behalf
of humanity and in behalf of her own in
terests in the island.
Then came the appalling incident of the
blowing up of the United States battleship
Maine in Havana harbor and the killing
thereby of 258 United States marines on
board.
Then finally this government resolved
to interfere, In the interests of humanity
and to help the Cubans secure their inde
pendence. Our ultimatum was sent, and
our minister has 'been given his passports
before ho could present it.
'Hostilities have been, or will be. de
clared at once. The war is on. The United
States will eventually conquer Spain,
rhousands of lives will have been lost and
millions of dollars spent. In the end Cuba
will bo free. But whether she will then
be better off depends entirely upon
whether or not she becomes a part of the
United States or is turned over to the ten
der mercies of the present Insurgent par
ties.
May Call For 200,000 Men.
Although! it has been announced that
the first call for troops will be for only
80,000, it is generally understood in Wash
ington that this is merely a preliminary
move, and that at least 200,000 troops will
be almost iniediately called into service
from all sources. This calculation is bas
ed on the following figures, covered in
plans already in effect or in contempla
tion, viz: Standing army, 27,000; by call
for volunteers, 60.000; by calling out state
militia, 75,000 or 100,000; by army reorgan
ization bill, 5,000.
The President can call out the militia at
any time, and Congress follow up the ex
ecutive action by legislative enactment
providing for their mustering into the
United States service.

The News is for fair play. If 77 per cent
of the property owners on Cherry street
want asphalt, they should have it. No
matter if ex-Mayor Horne does happen to
represent the successful bidder.
Council is evidently acting on the theory
that the people are fools and don’t know
what they want.
If only those who want this war were
allowed to fight it. it wouldn’t take Spain
long to whip us.
Poor Boh Berner! This war excitement
has drawn the crowd away from his tent.
Spain may save Minister Woodford the
trouble of asking for his passports.
The New York Journal is clearly en
titled to credit for this war.

Notice to Ice Consumers, Which Applies
to the Family Trade.
Owing to the great difficulties which we
have had in regulating the handling of ice
on our delivery wagons, we have adopted
the coupon system, which will be sold ar
the following prices, viz:
240-pound books in coupons of 12
I>ounds each SI.OO
500-pound books in coupons of 25
pounds each 2.00
1000-pound books in copons of 50
pounds each 4.00
2000-pound books in coupons of 100
pounds each 6.00
’Ail ice without coupons cent per
pound, cash on delivery.
Books can be obtained from our drivers,
or telephone to 136, and same will be deliv
ered promptly. By this method we hope to
avoid complications and disputes from the
credit heretofore extended through our
drivers, and at the same time it gives our
patrons lower prices on their ice thau they
have heretofore obtained.
All drivers are instructed to give full
weight and polite attention, and any com
plaint w'ill be promptly invesigated.
