The Spanish premier has given up
every hope of a friendly settlement
the trouble and the bull fighters are
very bitter in their denunciation of the
hand that this government, lias taken in
the matter. Spain is ready to tight and
bids us defiance.
' ; Army and navy experts have changed
their opinion and now say that, if it
} comes, the war will be a bloody one and
! that, it will consume not loss than a year.
Press dispatches state that our navy
will move toward Cuba by the last of
this week ortho first of next, unless
Spain backs down and grants the de¬
mands of the United States. *
Spain will not do this. She will grant
nothing, but will fight it out, with all
the desperation inherent to the proud
and barbarous people of, the once, most
powerful nation on earth.
By next week all uncertainty will oe
at an end and the banner of peace will
have been firmly planted in our citadel,
or the bloody flag of war wiill be floatihg
over our battleships as they deal death
and destiuction in the harbor of Ilavan .
