is stated that the supply ashore

The magazines of every ship in
the service are as full as they are de-
signed to be. Admiral Sicard’s fleet
has its full complement of explosives
and projectiles. While it is true that
the magazines of the battleships might
be exhausted in a. few hours, if every
gun was fired indiscriminately as lap-
idly as it would operate, regardless of
targets, no commanding officer is going
to scatter his ammunition around in
the ocean. The Pacific fleet is as well
equipped as others.
It is also pointed out that the big
army order for projectiles has no bear-
ing on the navy, but is to supply a. defi-
ciency in coast defense ammunition.
The naval fleets are declared to be
thoroughly ready for a declaration of
hostilities.
It is officially admitted at 'the Navy
Department that the Naval Board of
Inquiry has completed only the first
branch of its investigation into the
cause of the explosion that wrecked the
Maine. No opinion is expressed as to
when the work will be completed, al—
though it is evident that Secretary
Long thinks the board will return to
Havana soon and make a. more detailed
examination of the hull of the Maine
and examine and re-examine witnesses.
The Secretary still gives the assur-
ance that he has no information bear-
ing upon the cause of the explosion not
given to the public. This statement
undoubtedly refers to official corre-
spondence, because it is only fair to
assume that naval officers and enlisted
men, newspaper correspondents and
citizens generally who are at Havana,
and some of whom were there at the
time the Maine-was destroyed, have
sent communications to officials here,
and that their contents must have
reached the ears of administration offi-
cials.
Plesident McKinley, it is well known,
is in direct telegraphic communication
with Admiral Sicard at Key VVest,com-
manding the North Atlantic fleet, but
it is possible that no correspondence
relative to the work of the Board of
Inquiry has passed between them. In-
deed, this is officially stated to be the
fact. That the President has received
information of some sort over this di-
rect and interrupted telegraphic line is
likely. It may have been by this
means that the communication came,
said to have been sent by Consul-Gen-
eral Lee, conveying to the President his
unofficial but nevertheless decided
opinion that the Maine was de-
stroyed by an outside explosion.
Much mystery surrounds the receipt
of this message and its contents. All
that is positively known is that for the
past two or three days the President,
Secretary Long and Assistant Secre-
tary Day have been in frequent con-
sultation over some sort of important
cemmunication from General Lee.
could not have come to the Navy De-
partment officially, because Secretary
Long says he has made public all dis-
patches of an important character.
General Lee's measure may have been
sent in the regular sealed mail pouch of
the State Department, or it may have
been written direct to the President,
or telegraphed to him over the direct
wire from Key West into the White
House.
Since the receipt of General Lee’s
letter other information has come to
Washington, but this has also been un-
official. The impression prevails in the
Navy Department and it is asserted
with considerable p'ositiveness that the
court could now, if no more testimony
were taken, show clearly that the de-
structive agency was exploded from
the outside. Further investigation is
necessary, not to make this fact more
clear, but to show conclusively if pos-
’ hardly sufficient for a. long continued
. sible what the external agency was, in
what manner and by whom exploded.
If the evidence of external explosion
is as manifest, upon inspection, as it
is believed to have been found by the
American divers, the hope is enter-
tained that the Spanish diV ers will re-
port this fact, and that the Spanish
board will acknowledge the external
explosion and the Spanish Government
at once offer full reparation.
UnleSS Spain, actuated by a false and
dishonorable pride, actually desires
war or prefers war to the humiliation
of confessing responsibility for the dis«‘
aster, she will follow this course when
the Spanish divers make the discover-
ies which it is anticipated they will.

Trial-Refs Have Been Stronger—Few Fail- ,
ures in February.
New York, March 5.——R. G. Dun‘s
weekly Review .of Trade says that
while the nation stands ready to sup-
1..rt President McKinley, as it was
ready to support President Cleveland.
in any just controversy, it is gratified
by the calmness and justice shown in
uniting until facts determine whether
there is ground for complaint. Stories
12' the most reckless sort, diSproved
promptly, and many of them before
they are told, affected speculation in
Stocks much last week, and at times
this week,_ but they have not disturbed
the industries and the trade of the
country at all. There is confidence
Chit the authorities are doing what is
proper to provide for public defense:
and business is moving on with the as—
surance that it will not be seriously
disturbed. The nation looks for peace,
but knows that its sources of prosper-
ity are quite beyond the reach of any
attack that is possible. In grain, cot-
ton, meat products and petroleum, mar-
lists have been stronger, with gradual
inelease in the demand for manufac-
tured products.
Failures in February have been
smaller than in any other month, ex-
cept three, of the previous fifty-two
months, with remarkable decrease in
the failures for $100,000 and over,though
in number and amount the smaller
failures show less change than might
have been expected, indicating that in
good times or bad a large/proportion
is due to causes apart from the’ gen-
e1al condition of business.
roduction of pig iron is thecr greatest
eV er know,n some furnaces having
started in the past month, but Bes-
semer billets are so scarce at Chicago
that some works. are embarrassed, and
heavy purchases at Pittsburg, includ-
ing one of 25,000 tons, have stiffened the
price so that Bessemer pig and local
coke at Chicago are stronger than since
Nov. 1, with Grey Forge unchanged at
Pittsburg. - Foundry at the East is
slightly lower, basic pig having been
offered in a sharp competition at about
310, though Southern makers in Ala.-
bama and Tennessee, excepting two,
have agreed upon a. plan of sales
hrough a commission. '
The moderate concessions made by
boot and shoe manufacturers,averaging
less than 2 per cent, as quotations giv-
en this week show, were largely in con-
tracts for payment within thirty days
after delivery, thus getting rid of a.
grave danger to the trade. They have
seemed OldEl‘S far greater than at this
time in any previous year, while sales
in February were 11 per cent. larger
than last year and 28 per cent. larger
than 1892. Leather has yielded slight-
ly. and also hides, both being yet rela-_
tiv ely hig her than boots and shoes. The
strike in cotton mills does not spread,
but helps to a slightly better demand
for some goods, while in Vvoolens the
business is slow in some of the,I finer
qualities, which have been much ad-
vanced in prices.
Wheat has grown stronger, exports
continuing at a rate which threatens
exhaustion of supply, if trade reports
of farmers’ stocks are correct. The
price has risen 1 cent, but it is possible
that the estimates of last year’s stocks,
though 50,000,000 bushels in excess of
the Government’s es.imates, may prove
too small. Corn has declined only one—
quarter of a cent, with exports of 4,-
748,843 bushels, against 5,221,785 last
year. Cotton advanced to 6.31 cents on
Saturday, in spite of acchmulating evi-
dence of a big yield, with the idea that
the next crop will be small.
No lack of currency appears, and the
country only waits for business to em—
ploy the supplies it has. Failures for
the week have been 251 in the United
States against 246 last year, and 32 in
Canada against 59 last year.
Charged “’ith Embracery.

of the Peace George W. Miles and John
Meshaw, an impaneled juror, were ar—
raigned before JudgessGarrison and,
Armstrong yesterday, on the indict-
ment charging them with erobracery.
They all pleaded not guilty. Their trial
will probably take place at the April
term of court. The indictment charges
the defendants with attempting to
tamper with the panel of jurors drawn
to try Eli Shaw for the murder of his
mother and grandmother, which trial
was brought to an abrupt ending by
Judge Garrison because of rumors of
attempts to fix the jury. Scm'el was

London, March 5.——Spain has pur-
chased two-cruisers, which the Arm-
strongs have been building for Brazil,
the Amazonius and a. sister ship, un-
named, of 4,000 tons each, 23 knots and
ten guns.
Spain is also negotiating for and will
probably secure, two cruisers of a. sim-
llar type, which have been building in
France for Brazil.
The .Amazonius is ready for launch-
ing and her sister ship will be ready
s.horfly ,
The Spanish Government .is also e11-
deavoring to secure guns and large
supplies of ammunition in England and
on the Continent for immediate use.
The Government of Spain seems to
have funds, for it is understood to be
paying a large part of the purchase
money in cash, giving good security
for the balance, these being the only
terms upon which the Armstrongs
would deal with them.
Some weeks ago Spain attempted to
purchase ships and supplies in Eng—
land, on credit, frdm prominent firms
having close relations with the Gov-
ernment here; but after inquiring, the
firms refused to give credit. Since then
Spain has raised funds from unknown
sources.
Diplomats in London express the be-
lief that French financiers are helping
the Spanish Government.
It is known that Spain is trying to
purchase three other ships which are
being built by the Armstrongs, but she
has not yet sucbeeded in making a bar-
gain, consequently there is still time if
the United States wishes to forestall
her.
The United States could also forestall
Spain in the purchase of other ships
building in English and Continental
dockyaids.
While Chili denies that any of the
ships ordered for that country are for
sale, it is believed by naval construc-
tors that Chili’s best cruiser, the O’-
Higgins, which is just finished, could
be purchased. ‘
INQUIRY BOARD’S INSTRUCTIONS.
Orders Under “'hich It Proceeds in In-
vestigating the Blaine Disaster.
Washington, March 5.—The Navy De—
partment yesterday made public the
precept of the Court of Inquiry to ex~
amine into the circumstances attending
the loss of the Maine. There is noth-
ing significant in the language of'the
orders except these paragraphs:
The Court will diligently and thor-
oughly inquire into all the circum-
stances attending the loss of said ves-
’sel on the date named, and upon the
conclusion of the investigation will re-
port to the Commander-in—Chief its
precedings, all the testimony and facts
which it may deem established by the
evidence adduced, together with its
opinion as to what further proceedings
if any, should be had in the matter.
The court will also report whether
or not the loss'of said vessel was on
the occasion named in any respect due
to fault or negligence on the part of
any of the officers or members 'of the
crew of said vessel, and if so, the
names of such officers or members of
the crew and in what respect and to
what extent any or either of them were
so at fault or negligent.
If‘the court‘jshall be of, opinion that
further proceedings should be had in
the matter, it will include in its report
a. succinct statement as to the person
or persons against whom the specific
such proceedings
should be had. The court will also re-
port its opinion as to the cause or
causes of the explosion, or other in-
cidents directly or indirectly bearing
upon the loss ‘of the Maine.
It will also record any information
that it may be able to obtain by testi-
mony and evidence, as to any person
or persons not connected with the
Navy of the United States, who are in
its opinion responsible, directly or indi—
rectly, for the explosion and loss of the
Maine. and will include their names
in its opinion, together with the de-
gree of such responsibility in cat-11
case
The ordels are signed by Adm ilal Si—

It is understood in official Cll(.l£’s ii at
the trip of these two vessels will be
utilized by the ,Navy Department to
,‘make an examination as to the military
force and fortifications of the two parts
to be visited, in anticipation cfa apos-
sibel attack upon the island. It is
thought that one of our wa‘rdhips could,
if necessary, easily capture any port
outside of Havana, and by taking pos-
ses :ion of the other Cuban ports, could
pei. up the Spanish navy in the har- .
bor 01 Havana, and thus prevent it
ffom doing any harm elsewhere.
The latest move of the War Depart-
ment in preparation {arany hostilities,
has been to notify tin. Treasury De;
pertinent to return the
.... --...-.,. ..... .‘-._....
Tortuga s to the jurisdiction of the War
Del artment.
Dry Tc rtugas at present is under the
Treasury Department, and has been
l‘canedto the Marine Hospital Service
for a quarantine station, and the Cov-
- crn'rcent reservation has been improved
by buildings and a well-equipped hos—
pital. It is situated sixty-four miles
west of Key West, and was originally
a. military post, equipped with masonry
fortifications, similar to those at Fort-
ress Monroe. It was known as Fort
Jefferson, and occupied, up to 1888 by
the W'ar Department. In that year
it was turned over to the Treasury De-
partment, with the distinct under-
standing that whenever it was needed
by the War Department it would be re-
turned.
In the preparations now being made
in case of hostilities the chief engineer
of the War Department has concluded
that Dry Tortugas would be neclessary
as a base of supplies and 3.3.8. means
of protection in connection with other
fortifications in the vicinity. A letter
has been written by General Wilson,
chief of the army engineers, and sent
.to Secretary Alger of the War Depart-
ment, who, in: turn, transmitted it to
the Treasury Department, asking for
the transfer of the island.
At the Treasury Department it is ac-
knowledged that this letter has been
received, but at the same time it is
stated that no answer has been sent to
it and that no active preparations have
been made for the transfer of the isl-
and. Nevertheless, the Secretary of
the Treasury acknowledges the right of
the War Department to ask for the
transfer, and if a peremptory demand
is made for it, will undoubtedly turn
it over. But there is every hope that
there will be no occasion for the remov-
al of the quarantine station and the
changing of the island to a. fort.
This action on the part of the War
Department doeslnot mean that there
is a change in the situation, but is only
in keeping with the policy of the ad-
ministrtioan to be prepared for all con-
tingencies dependent upon the verdict
of th Court of Inquiry.
The Navy Department has telegraph-
ed the commandant at Key West that
when the body of Frederick Holzer, one
of 'the crew of the Maine who died at
Havana, arrives at Key West it is to
be held until the relatives of the dead
sailor claim it. The Treasury Depart-
ment states that permission has been
granted to the relatives of the dead
sailor to take the body to New York
for burial.
FRYE SAYS IT MUST BE WAR.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Be-
lieves There Is No Escape.
Washington, March 5.—Sena.tor Frye,
a. member of the Committee on For-
eign Relations, believes there is no es-
cap from war with Spain. This opin-
ion is shared by the majority of his
committee associates.
The Senator from Maine says that
if indemnity is demanded from Spain
for the loss of the Maine the Sagasta
Ministry will not dare to pay it. The
Spaniards will be too proud to ac-
knowledge any responsibility for the
explosion and the President must make
a demonstration in force to collect the
claim of the United States.
That will cause war.
Then there is the determination of
the American people to put an end to
the butchry and starvation of innocent
Cubans. Spain, in Mr. Frye’s View,
will attempt to gain time‘ by promises.
but if pressed for a. decision to grant
independence to the insurgents will re-
fuse to do So, and then the United
States must intervene.
It will be exceedingly difficult, in Mr.
Frye’s judgment,for the administration
to carry out the policy which the cir-
cumstances demand without provoking
a conflict. He hopes that some way
will be found through diplomatic ne-
gotiations to maintain peace, but he
cannot see how this can be accomplish-
ed. He has the utmost faith in Presi-
dent McKinley’s ability to deal with
the situation.

what Befell a "Veteran of
the Civil War LongAf-
ter His Discharge.
An Old colonial soldier lying in la.
hospital improvised for the occasion af-
ter the battle of Saratcga, was patient-
ly waiting until his time came for ex-
amination. W hen the physicians sur-
rounded his humble pallet to probe for
abullet in his chest, he opened his
shirt bosom. shut his eyes and said,
“I’m ready.” Neither groan, sigh 01-
cry escaped him, but as the probe
reached the piece of lead he opened
his eyes and said: “Doctor, an inch
deeper and you will find General Wash~
ington. ” In the Revolution and Civil
War the American soldier Vvithst'ood
hardships that almost equalled th'OSe
when Napoleon retreated f1 0111 Moscow,
and Sir John Moore retired to Corinna.
Disease left its mark and shatter-
ed the strong constitutions of' the
best. No organ of the human body
suffered more than the kidneys. and
veteran W. R. " Green. of 44 Spring
South Norwalk, engineer at
Crofut & Knapp’s hat factory, only
echoes the experienceof thousands of
his comrades, when he says “I was a
boy when I enlisted in the army, and
exposure eand hardship weakened line
physically. In the factory we use
under the boilers about two tons of
coal per day, and as I do my own firing
I have to handle it. It was quite a job
fora man who had trouble with his
kidneys, and I was always anxious to
get rid of it. Slight urinary difficulty
set in, and as I noticed an advertise-
ment about Doan’ s Kidney Pills curing
such cases I got a box and took them.
After taking bthe first box my back did
not ache. Ifelt so much better, and .
the secretions were natural. I ,am

M R. M’KINLEY'S FAVORITE SONG.
EIe Loves the Everyday Tunes with Which
Eveiybody is Familiar.
President William Mcl- Cinley loves
nusic. His life has been a busy and
ierious one, not given to'accomplish-
nents in music or art, save the art of
political success. Yet nothing de—
‘ights him more in the hours of recrea-
tion than sweet, simple music. At
:hurch services his baritone voice is
1eard in the congregational singing of -
:he old familiar hymns. He is a
Methodist, and knows from boyhood
;he simple melodies with which Meth-
idists worship. Like other mortal
men the ruler of this nation has his
favorite hymns, songs and “tunes.”
I‘o President McKinley the sweetest
incred song is the hymn that begins:
“There is a wideness in God’s
mercy.
Like the wide-ness of the sea.”
Of the operas, he loves best “The
Bohemian Girl,” and the number that
his fancy is “The
Heart Bowed Down.” Nor does the
l’resident despise the modern songs of
lght opera and the vaudevilles.
During the campaign at Canton the
roun-g ladies of the city delighted to
mend quiet, homelike evenings at the
licKinley house. There was always
1 delightful season of song and jollity
after the arduous tasks" of the day,
and the candidate for the Presidency
was pleased with the up—to-d'ate musi-
3a1 entertainment furnished by his
guests. ' ’ ‘ -.
His greatest. delight was {Louisiana
Lou,” as sung for him by Miss Kate
Huntington. Each time this fair and
vivacious singer visited the McKinley
cottage the most talked-of-man
among millions asked her to sing that
aseudovnegro melody, which she did
u inimitable style—Leslie’s Weekly.
LIVING ANIMALS‘ FOR JEWELRY. .
5'ch lmhlon 1!: Paris Uses Live Tortoises
for Ornament.
The new “living jewelry” is all the
”age in Paris. In a show window of
1 prominent jeweler on the RueRoy-
"ale there are a. number of tiny living
tortoises imbedded in jewels and
:rawling about on plush cushions.
The tortoises are from one-third to
me half of an inch long without the
head. Their shells are covered with
an ornament of filigree gold in which
is set a number of precious stones.
The little animals are in no way in-
commoded by their ornaments. To
:he shell is attached a tiny gold chain
:hat can be pinned on the corsage by
1 safety pin. ;
When not exhibited on their plush
sack-ground in the shop windows the
animals are allowed to crawl around
in a little doll garden in thestore, '
which is plan-ted With real shrubs and
aas a. rustic bridge and gravel walks.

It is often the case that great mathe-
matical minds are incapable of appre«
ciating poetry. There was, once a
teacher of mathematics in one of 0111.
great universities who was in the hub
it of boasting that he neither knew '
nor cared to know anything aboul
poets or poetry, and considered ital]
“a. lot of unpractical rubbish.” A
brother professor was very anxious to
' convert him to the admiration 015 fine
poetry, and, by way of accomplishing
this, gave him the famous “Charge 01
the Light Brigade” to read. The
mathematician took it up and began
to read aloud, thus: “Haifa league, p
half a league, half a. league (Slim-”rd, "
and then. he banged down the book
exclaiming, impatiently: f..‘.‘Well,.if the
feel meant a league and a half, Why
on earth didn' t he say so?"

find than ready cash? _
