World 2 00 SATURDAY FEBRUARY 19. 1S9S WAR TALK JS THE EAST. From the Inter-Ocean.) The De Lome incident has cleared tlu decks for action. The ex minis ter's letter betrayed the animus of Spain's representative and the weak ness of the Spanish cause in Cuba. It was testimony from a most im pttrtnrit witness that the moderation of President MeKinley, his patience and courtesy, had been thrown away, had been wasted on a government and a people who could not appreci ate the character and conduct of the executive, and who could not under stand the temper of the American people. The offensiveness of the De Lome letter was bad enough, but the ad missions as to Spanish duplicity were itiGuitely worse, President MeKin ley might have hesitated to take cog nizance of the personal feature of the letter, but he could not hesitate with the other features of the letter and the action of the Spanish cabinet in mind. The whole personal equation has been subordinated to a question of national sentiment and national policy. Minister De Lome in his letter written weeks ago admitted the fail ure of Spanish policy in Cuba prac ticallj' admitted the impossibility of conquering a peace; and yet his gov ernment had asked President Me Kinley to give the new policy a fair -trial, and De Lome himself was pleading for more time. The Span ish premier and the Spanish minister to the United States . knew that the forbearance of the United States gov ernment was based on .he theory that the Sagasta ministry would hon estly endeavor to carry out a policy looking toward peace in Cuba. Abandon this theory and there is no longer a reason for forbearance. Minister De Lome in his confidential letter to a friend abandoned the theory when he admitted the failure of the policy. His action and the action of the Spanish cabinet release the president from every implied or written promise as to further delay. The letter and the comments of the Spanish papers on it, show such lack of appreciation of the president's efforts, such utter failure to compre hend the restraints that he imposed upon himself in the interests of the new government in Spain, such ig norance of the real sentiment and spirit of the American people, that neither Spanish minister, nor minis try, nor nation deserve further consideration. With their president flouted at ; with their honest sympathies and ' sentiments sneered at, with their na-j tional pride and spirit scoffed at, the ( American people will stand almost asj one man behind the president to re sent insult and resist further conces-' sions to a power that has used the lorbearance cif a generous people to further its own barbarous policy in Cuba. As the time for the Republican convention draws near, more or less talk about the candidates who shall carry the part' banners becomes a matter of necessity. One thing is certain, the delegates to the coming state convention will have abundant material from which to choose, and the probable delegates would do well to carefully consider tho relative names mentioned. It has been hinted slightly in the newspapers that the name of Hon. George II. Williams would be brought before the convention for governor, and if it is, the Republican party can do itself no greater credit than bygiv-; ing him the nomination. Jiftlrjc Williams stands as tho foremost statesman of Oregon, and the people would gladly elevate him to any office within their gift Should he accept the nomination, his election would follow as a eertaintj, and a clean,, able administration would be assured. It would be better for the state of Oregon had it more men within its borders like Judge Will iams, and it will be a fortunate day for the state when it can inaugurate him as its governor. The name ot Claude Gatch of Salem has been mentioned as a possible candidate for secretary of state, and he would make a most excellent running mate for Judge Williams. Taking the JVIedieine..
