World 2 00 JVO FURTHER DELAY. Unless the president shall today make some satisfactory communica tion to congress, or give an intimn tton as to his immediate intentions, it may be expected that this body will refuse to longer delay the Cuban question, and force the issue to a crisis. The president's pacific policy is commendable, says the Tribune, bnt it now seems ns if Spain is trifling with this government, and the fact is she can no longer be trusted. Treachery is characteristic of the Spaniard, and there is no reason why Sagasta should be allowed another day. There is no doubt whatever now that there will be war unless-Spain agrees to the demands made by the United States. And it is not im probable that before this week has ended the two' countries will be wag ing a bloody contest. This the United States has endeavored to avert, but our good intentions have "been prostituted and our friendly offers spurned, so that there is noth ing left for us but enforce our de mands. , The conflict will be n short one., and there can be but one result the defeat of Spain. She can hope f or no assistance from Europe, for every civilized nation in the world is in sympathy with the United States. Jtnd Spain, already on the verge of bankruptcy, will be ruined. It will "be an unequal struggle, it is true, "but it seems to be a. necessary one. any length in defense of what is riuht. Spain stands an cxccl'cnt 'chance of finding out the fact.

Perhaps one reason why .the Alsace-Lorraine problem is an "ever burning" one, as Mr. Theodore Stanton declare? iq his interesting communication from Paris, may be because of the instruction on the subject given in the public schools of France. Art American who visited a village school in Picardy a lew yean since, saw fastened on the inner side of the schoolhouse door, where every boy could read 'it as he left the building, a card on which the schoolmaster bad printed, in bold letters, VBpys of Jj'rance! Never forget 1870! Never forget 3Ietz and Strasbnrg!" The large map of France, which hung on the wnl! also taught its lesson of unforgetfulness, having a heavy black line painted around the lost territory of "Alsace Lorraine."
