TIIJK LEDGER: GAFFNEY. S. C., MARCH 24, 1808. P011SY OF PRESISEKT McKinley May Ask Indemnity For Loss of the Maine. WANTS TO PREVENT WAR Announced In Waslilngton Tluit Sp;iin Will Claim She Is Not Itrsponslblo and Sutffjest That the Matter He Re ferred to an International Hoard of Arbitration. St. PAtTL, March 15.—The Gloho’s Washington special says: The president and Ins cabirn t know, unofficially, the result of the Maine inquiry. They are prepared to act. They have canvassed the course of events, so far as they can foresee them, and have formulated a policy to meet the emergency. Along its lines the army expects to move, un less it is swept off its feet by a wave of popular dissatisfaction. The Globe’s special correspondent is aide to present the forecast of events as viewed by the president and his cabinet. It can l>e outlined thus: 1. The board of inquiry will report this week that the explosion was ex ternal. 2. The president will immediately, through Minister Woodford, demand from Spain au indeumilicatiou of $10,- 000,000. 3. S]jain is expected to reply express ing her willingness to pay if she is re sponsible, but maintaining that her own investigation shows that the explosion was inteiiial and purely accidental, rike will therefore suggest reference to an international beard of arbitration. 4. In such an event the administra tion will be disposed to comply with the suggestion unless there is emeute in Havana or an irresistible demand for war sweeps through congress. o. If congress acquiesces in the sug gestion, the attempt will l>e made to ad- j joum that body and leave the whole j matter in the president’s hands. 6. It is expected that a larg" majority of congressmen will claim that such a mutter of honor cannot bo arbitrated. It is further expected that the leaders of | both houses, including Senator Davis of j Minnesota, will favor arbitration. TILLMAN EXPECTS TROUBLE. South Carolina Senator Declares War With Spain Is Sure. Washington, March 15. — Senator ; Benjamin It. Tillman of South Carolina ^ dictated the following statement to- | i night: “To my mind there is no possibility of averting war. Public opinion in the J United States has crystallized, and, j while no one desires war, the feeling that we have obligations of humanity requiring interference in behalf of Cuba, together with the intense anger arising from the destruction of the Maine, will not permit of further halting and delay. Tt is manifest that something must be sc. This country will no longer tolor- fte the conditions that have existed for rhe jiast two years with reference to the United States and Cuba, and public opinion will force the president to some positive action. The report of the court of inquiry will be the signal for au out pouring of sentiment. This is the situa tion from this end of the line. “At the other, or Spanish end, the conditions are really indicative of coercion. The Spanish government knows that a contest with this govern ment would be hopeless. But the Span ish are a brave people, even though they are perhaps the most ignorant and vio lent. The present Spanish ministry holds power by a slender thread. The Carlists are actively at work lookinpjto an opportunity for a restoration to the throne. This creates a situation tliat compel’s the St anish ministry to reject any possible scheme of pacification or to make amends for the Maine disaster, should it be shown that it was the result of an external influence. “It appears to me, therefore, that there can be put one solution to the problem—war. ” ACTIVITY AT SANDY HOOK.
