America is hurriedly purchasing tugs aud fast steam yachts, with a view to improving them to torpedo destroyers. Presid-nt McKinley has bfien requested to strike a blow before the Spanish torpedo flotilla arrives at the West Indies.
The Conservatives do not support President McKinley'a efforts to promote peace with Spain. The financiers prefer war to the uncertainty which prevails. Pending the official statement all the American reports agree that the Maine explosion was external, causing a second explosion in the forward magazine.
Spanish reports deny that the. explosion was external. President McKinley desires to:treat the Maine explosion as a incident in itself, preferring to intervene in Cuba on humanitarian grounds.
