THE WAR.
(CHppings from Home Paders)
New York, May 10th. Impatience with the present condtilen of things is beginning to exprens luself in various, quatters. Thote jurnals which before the war deleted thele seiders 'talo the belief that it would be a mere plente seek to lay the blame for their ingornet prophecies on the, President and Midsters, whom they describe as sleep. They complain that the blockade bas produced no important results except the starving of number of the Recorcen. trados whom we proposed to relieve. Rear Admiral Dewey's victory is not followed up, Admiral Dewey having no supports.
Rear- Admiral Sampson, Ceramodare Schlay, and Commodore. Watson have failed to find the Spanish feat. Cabs is stronger for defence then when the war began, while the chasing of the Spanish squadron, known to be faster than its pursuers, begins to appeal to the national sense of bumour. Another journal clamonsı for single vital blow to be streek, and bloks Marengo a good i recedent for this war. A ikird complates that the army is, not increased, reraidless of the fact that now more troops are mastered than can be med. "The war will not be over for years at this rate" is the melancholy conclusion drawn by these impetuous cililer.
