The Dalles Daily Chronicle. BDBSCBiniON PKICB. One week , .$ 15 One month 50 One year. 6 00 SATURDAY OCTOBER 15, 1898 let off a firecracker in the vicinity of the Chamber of Deputies these days the chances are that a Bonapartist or an Orleanist would, be able to ac complish a coup d'etat before the ex citement subsided. SPAIN CAN'T DO IT. The dispatches from Iterate the statement United States does not concessions Spain will Madrid re tbat if the make proper resume war. "We have begun the shipment of beer to the Philippines in return for shipments of cigarettes. It will be interesting to watch the effect or this traffic. Bets are even on the hper At nresent: but the Cigarette IS admitted to have its strong points. One day it is said that if the United States does not assume the payment of the Cuban debt General Blanco will reopen hostilities, and that Spain will fiaht to the bitter end. Another C3 day it is reported that if the United States insists on retaining the Philip pines Spain will decline to accept any of the conditions of the protocol, 5ind will continue the war. All this is nonsense. Spain can't do it. The fleet of Spam in the Pacific ocean was annihilated by Admiral Dewey. The only effective fleet she tad in the Atlantic was destroyed at Santiago. She has an active army in Cuba since the surrender at Santi ntrn of 100.000 men. She has in the Philippines since the surrender of Manila an effective army of about 25,000. She has in Porto Rico, awaiting transportation to Spain, about 6,000 troops. She has an ef fective army at home of about 95,- 000. By calliDg on the first reserves j this can be increased to 250,000. By calling on the second reserves the Spanish authorities contend that they could put 1,500,000 men in the field. But if Spain had the whole Russian army at her command, well organized and well equipped, she would be powerless to continue the war, for she has no navy. She could not send troop3 on transports to the Philip pines, because the American fleet in the Pacific would destroy both trans ports and troops. She could not send Bupp'ies to her arm' in Cuba, or re enforce it, because our Atlantic fleet would capture both supplies and troops. Moreover, Spain cannot keep an army of 500,000, or even 100,000, in the field, for she has no money to pay the troops or purchase ammuni tion and equippments. She in carry ing a debt of $1,232,912,000, and even in ordinary times her annual expenditures were 15,000,000 more than her revenues. Since the war opened she has increased her expendi tures to such an extent that the Bank of Spain has become hopelessly in volved, and the government finds it almost impossible to place loans at home or abroad. She has lost the revenues from Cuba, from the Philip pines, from Porto L Rico. She has spent twice as much money as she can force from her people, can bor row no more, and is, in fact, bank rupt. 'Whatever her ministers may say, Spain will not resume the war, simply because she can't do it. Bankrupt and without a navy, with a demoralized army and a popu lation on the verge of revolution, Spaiu must submit. The United States is not presenting exorbitant demands. We are claiming less than any other civilized nation would claim after such victories as we have won. We are exacting no indem nity. We demand only territory that we have conquered. All foreign nations admit the iustice of our claims. Not a single European power would help bpain when she was believed to have a navy equal to ours and an army vastly superior to our own. It is not possible that any government will help her now, when she has no navy and when her ar mies have been defeated. Spain is broken, moneyless, help less, and friendless, and, in such a condition, she will accomplish noth ing by threatening to resume the war, becausa all the world knows that she can't xesume it.
