light-weight and light-toned Textures for Spring and Summer
wearing in February , but HO long as it is Fashion's decree that

ful woman will not run the risk of incompleteness of choice
by delaying purchases. Our showing at present is bewilderingly -

CHICAGO , Feb. 24. The Tribune today
has the following frccn Washington :
"I do not propose lo do aciythlng at all
to precipitate war with Spain. Up to the
present I do mot think war Is either necessary
or Inevitable. I would be lax In my duty ,
however , If I did not prepare for the future.
The situation \ grave , and Ibo policy of
the administration will bo determined al
most mtlroly by the course of events from
lime to time. There Is no necessity of
alarming the people , but congress must bo
ready to assist the administration without
making too many Inquiries no to the course
of current events. "
To a senator who called upon him In order
to ask some fierloua iiuostloM na to the
policy of the ndmlnlslratlon , President Sic-
Ktalcy , with the utmost frankness , has ut
tered the above words. There U now no
doubt of the fact Ihnt the government ot the
United Slatca la actually preparing for war
with Spain. It does ivt follow that war
will como , but the acllvlly In both the War
and Navy departments Is too unmistakable
to bo concealed. The president and his
cabinet unite In the belief still , in spite of
all evidence to the contrary , that the ox-
plcalon of the Slatao was the rcault of an
unfortunate accident. Hut they recognize
the fact that the contrary may prove true
at almost any hour , and that , If It la shown
even Infercntlally that Spain had a hand In
the catastrophe , there- will be but one thing
to do , Mid that will be to nclzo tu.0 Islsml
of Cuba by force.of . arms. At no time
slnco the war of the rebellion has the mili
tary branch of Iho government been no ucllve

nbil'ty of our authorities to learn the facts
and handle tbo affair with strong hands.
If Havana harbor was Interlaced with
torpedoes and dynamite with the knowledge
of the Spanish authorities and our govern
ment \\aa not informed of the condition ,
Spain would bo responsible for any harm
that might como to one ot our vessels and
an explosion under such circumstances would
bo equally good cause for war.
"President SIcKInleyls pursuing the proper
course in this matter , and I do not bellovo ho
will make a mistake , whichever way ho acts.
The Investigation will develop the facts and
popular judgment should await Its conclu
sion. If the Spanish government proves
that It had no hand In the terrible explosion -
plosion , but that it was the work of out
siders , wo will be at the end of our string
and will have to pocket the loss. Hut If It
develops that Spain was at the bottom of It
full reparation and a most abject apology
would bo the only way out. Of course , If
this were given , It would obviate a war. "

CLEVELAND , Feb. 24. Dr. n. J. Galling ,
Iho Inveptor of the famous gun which bears
his name , has Just arrived in Cleveland to
conduct the finishing touches to the big gun
being eonstritclcd for Iho government here.
In an Interview 'Dr. Catling said : "Yen , I
shall make every endeavor to hasten Iho
work upon Iho gun , in vlow or Ihe present
1'ltuatlon. Although nothing has yet been
Bald lo 'mo by the government upon the sub
ject , I know the feeling and the efforts Ihal
are everywhere being made lo hasttn prep
arations. The big gun may perhaps bo ready
to Send cast in a week , and If the lathes nro
not too -busy at Washington , which I ralhor
fear Is Iho case , it may 'be ' rifled in about a
fortnight.
"Of course , what tho-gun will do depends
altogether upon the firing teats to bo made
when it Is finished , Init ua far overylhlng Is
favorable. The lestn of tensllo strength of
the special steel used for the gun is very
high , toeing 108,000 pounds to the square
Inch. The steel of the built up guns runs
about 00,000 pounds.
"Tho rcadlnors of this country for emer
gencies ? I am sorry to say that our prep-
aratlon Is nol whal it should bo. Congress
should years ago havu begun to do what the
government Is trying to do now. With the
recent guns we have at harbors , and by
blocking the channels with sunken ships ,
wo might protect the coast. If wo should
try with all our might , It would take fully
twelve months to got Into desirable shape
along'tlio coast. "
General Mile * , the head of the United
States army , and members of the Hureau of
Oidnanco.will be in Cleveland In a few
days , probably next week , to ece the final

MYSTERY AS DEEP AS EVER
No Further Light Shod on the Maine
Disaster.
DEPARTMENT HAS NO NEW INFORMATION

tlonnSIciiril Will Stay
lit Coiiiinnnil ,
WASHINGTON , Feb. 24. The mystery
mtrroundln ; the blowing up of the Maine re
mains as dense as on the day following the
oxplwlon. That Is the opinion of the admin
istration at least , and presumably It In as
well Informed of the state of affairs as any
unofficial pvjon. It there were nhy develop
ments of value at Havana yesterday , or If
anything was discovered tending to ttirow
light upon the nature and cause of the ex
plosion , none of these facts as yet have been
reported either to the Navy or the State de
partment. To attempt to say from the posi
tion of an armor plate lying In the upper
works of the wreck that the explosion was
Internal or external In origin , In the opinion
of the officials hero , la without ware-ant. The
Maine carried mo armor below water nt a
greater depth than two and onc-tialf feot.
Beneath that there was nothing but the or
dinary thin hull plates of about half an inch
structural steel. All of the armor , oven that
worked Into the protective deck , was entirely
above the mag-izlcioa and In iso the latter
exploded It might easily have been leased
upward.
NO TIME LIMIT ON COURT.
The Navy deparlmwt bae not been In
formed as to the probable length of time to
bo occupied by the court of Inquiry In Its
work. Such a court , It is said , has the great
est liberty of action ; much greater than a
court-martial , which is strictly limited by
the naval regulation ? . Of course It la pocsl-
bio that the court will leave Havana In the
course of a day or two for Key West In
order to take there the testimony of ouch of
tht ; surviving olllccrs and men as are now
quartered at Key West. The latter are not
subject to release from their position until
the court haa declared that it has concluded
their testimony , and as many of these nur-
vlvors are anxious to secure abort leaves of
absriaco In order to see their families and
friends It may bo that the court will cut
short Its stay at Havana In order to accom
modate them. It Is believer ) , however , that
in this case , unless there should be unex
pectedly significant developments before the
court leaves Havana , it will return to that
place later In order to ascertain from the
work of the divers the cause of the explosion.
In view of the many expressions of doubt
ccncerning the possibility of raising the
wreck of the Maine the message sent yes
terday to the Navy department by Admiral
Slcard has some weight. The admiral re
ported that the court of inquiry , which U on
the spot and has had the advantage of opin
ions of divers , had declared that the most
powerful appliances would bo necessary to
remove tbo wreck or raise the ship. The
last expression la taken to mean that the
court has KO far not concluded that It would
be impossible to again float the Maine , else
the language would eeem to have been un
necessary ; an unwarranted supposition in the
ccae of expensive cablegrams.
SICARD WILL STAY IN COMMAND.
It can he stated that up to this time the
naval officials have given no thought to the
relief of Armiral Slcard as commander-ln-
chlef of the naval forces on the Njictli At
lantic station. They do not bellove that the
admiral's health Is seriously Impaired , and
It Is safe to say that no movement will bo
made toward his relief unless a suggestion
comes llrst from himself , , Tho-admiral has
been In command of the squadron less than a
year and la by loal practice entitled to re
tain that command for another year at
least , If ho so desires.
It so happens that none of the rear ad
mirals on the list Is regarded to be In place
10 assume this Important command owing
to the fact that they have had their tour of
sea service and are not entitled again to fly
their flags at sea , or else they arc so placed
at other points as to make their change un
likely. Admiral Bunco , for Instance , Is BO
circumstanced , being not only in command
of the New York navy yard , an extremely
Important command in ordinary times and
certain to bo more so In case of hostilities ,
and also having relinquished the North At
lantic squadron within less than a year , seas
as to bo Ineligible for another sea command
within a year or two. The other admirals
are situated in about the name way , so that
It Is probable that the command of the squad
ron In the event that Admiral Slcard wcro
relieved might devolve on ono of the commo
dores , possibly Commodore Schley , now pres
ident of the Lighthouse board , which post he
probably would bo glad to relinquish for such
a command as the North Atlantic squadron.
TERROR AWAITING ORDERS.
There were no dispatches In the forenoon
at the Navy department from either Key
West or Havana and the only naval move
ment reported was the dropping down from
the Norfolk , navy yard to Hampton Roads of
the monitor Terror. There It will await
further orders from the department.
Nothing was heard from General Leo at
Havana since day before yesterday in the
shape ot a cablegram , and as the consul gen
eral has been prcuipt heretofore In Informing
the State department of any developments
of significance It Is supposed that there have
been none since his last repoct. In the mail
this mornlus from him was a copy of a. con
dolence received l y him from Captain General
oral Blanco In the following terms :
HAVANA , Feb. 1C. Mr. Consul : It be
comes my painful duty to expresH to you
my profound sorrow for the misfortune
which occurred yesterday on board the
American ship Maine. I associate myself
with all my heart to the prlef of the nation
nnd of the families who have lost some of
their membi rs , and upon dolntr so I do not
only express my personal sentiments but I
ppenh In the mime of all the Inhabitants of
Havana , witnesses of the cntuxtropliu which
has afflicted HO many homes. God guard
you many years.
( Signed ) HAMON BLANCO.
No orders have boon Issued as yet for any"
vessel to go to Havana to replace the Maine.
Secretary Lens said some days ago that
a vessel would bo Bent to Havana later , and
that either the Nashville or the Montgomery
would be selected , It can bo stated author
itatively that this Is still the situation and
that no conclusion has been reached as to
when another war ship shall replace the
Maine. The Montgomery has been ordered
from Tampa to Key West , but Its orders do
not direct It to proceed further.
Reports from Havana have not changed
In any degree the vlow of high ofllclals of
the government as to Ihft probablu cause of
the dlaaster to the 'Maine. It can bo stated
on tl.o highest authority that absolutely
nothing of a disquieting nature has been re
ceived at-tho Whlta 'House ' , nor Is Important
news of any character expected until the
court of Inquiry has completed Its Investl-
: lon and submitted Its report. It can also
. 'o stated upon authority not to bo quest
ioned that the public has been fully In-
'ormed as to all matters connected with
ho disaster to the Maine which havu como
o the knowledge of the government. Noth-
ns hai been withheld of the least public in-
erest , and this policy will bo continued
until the problem has been solved and the
whole truth brought to light. It U known
hat the government has not received any
nformatlon from ofllclal sources tending to
show with any degree of certainty that the
explosion was the work of enemies.
DISCUSSES RELIEF MEASURES.
Representative Boutelle. chairman of the
louse committee on naval affairs , conferred
with Secretary Long again today. Mr. Bou-
ollo said hla visit was confined wholly to
ho question of relief for the aufferers of
ho Malno.
The bill which he has prepared will carry
about $107,000 1C paused In Its present form ,
t has been sugrsted , however , that a gen
eral law was paused In 1895 under which re-
let may be given Tor the actual loss
suffered by thoio In tlio naval service in
case of disaster , How far this general law
will affect the special relief extended to the
Maine sufferers baa not yet been deter-
nlnod , but in any event , it will cover only
tbo actual loss of clothing , etc. , whiletbo

HAVANA , ( Via Key West ) , Feb. 24. At
an Important meeting of the central com
mittee of autonomists , Sonqf Oovln , secre
tary of the Interior , proposed an amendment
Increasing the committee from forty to
fifty-five. The fifteen new members will
bo taken from emigrants to the United
States and Insurgents of prominence , who
agree to support autonomy. The amend *
mcnt wns adopted by a large majority , fif
teen among whom were reformists. It Is
regarded ati surprising that a Spanish resi
dent supported the plan. The committee
also nominated delegates for the election next
month. U Is hclloved that the radicals will
carry the election and demand a inoro liberal
constitution. The meeting is regarded as
.tho first political battle of the campaign and
the results nro highly Important , because If
the Insurgents decline the extended hands of
the autonomists In a constitution securing
practical Independence , autonomy will fall
In the eyes"of the "world nnd nothing will
remain except the Spanish flag and what It
Implies. The query Is then , what will Spain
do next.
General Pando , after leaving Havana ,
spent sc\orul days at Puerto del Padre ,
province of Santiago do Cuba. Ho sent
emissaries to the Insurgent leader. Capote ,
to negotiate a surrender , Pando having J70-
COO for the purpose. It Is asserted that ho
has not been able to find Capote nnd that con-
sequcntly ho went on to the city of Santiago
do Cuba , Mcnzanlllo and Santa Crruz , where
ho arrived last Saturday. On Sunday morn
ing with a battalion of fresh soldiers ho
tcok the steamer for Mnnzanlllo to commence
operations In the field.
The Infanta battalion under Major Pedro
Rlvau left Candelarla , province of Pinar del
Rio , on Monday to reconnolter the Mule
heights. No Insurgents were found until
the troops rcpched the heights , when sud
denly they were attacked by a largo force
under General Maria Rodriguez and Leader
Pcrlco Diaz and surrounded. A hot fight
ensued , Major Rlvns wns killed by shots In
the month nnd heart. The Spanish column
effected a retreat after considerable loss
Its casualties , in addition to the loss of
Major RIvas , were three officers and forty-
five men wounded. It Is believed there wore
others killed. The Insurgent loss is not yet
known , but was probably small.
The stories published In the Spanish news-
papera that the United States naval officers
nt Havana are talking too much are ab
solutely unfounded. It" would bo Impossible
to find more discretion than Is shown by all ,
from captainLo cadet. Even the men
wounded or unhurt are careful what they
say lest an , tndlsorctlon In talk should lead

from Illicit-month the Ship.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 24. The Evening
Star hasi received the following cablegram
from Charles SI. Pepper , Its staff correspond ,
ent In Cuba : At this writing divers are
developing important reDults. From
examination of the Interior wreckage they
have secured evidence which seems con
clusive that the explosion came from un
derneath the ship. Some of the smaller
magazines may have exploded. The prin
cipal ton-Inch magazine did not explode. Tbo
condition of the Interior of the ship shows
further probability of the wreck having
been duo to outside force.
The further the investigation progresses ,
the more untenable becomey the theory which
the Spanish government adduced to show
accidental cause. . 'It lo evident the Spanish
case will bo based on the theory that a fire
preceded the explosion.
Captain Sampson and his colleagues of
the naval board may have outside evidence
offered regarding a torpedo float producing
the explosion.
Said ono diver who had bcen engaged In
the work of getting bodies out from under
the batch : "God may bo merciful to men
who blow these poor fellows to eternity , the
United States should not. "
This was before Long's order prohibiting
olllcers from talking. Tills diver evidently
thought the explosion was not an accident.
Ho had an expert's capacity and opportunity
for judging.
The Havana public Is not permitted to
know the Intensity of public sentiment In
the United States. Only meager details are
permitted to bo known of what happens In
Washington. Congress Is watched with ex
cessive anxiety by palace ofllclals , but the
populace knows nothing ot what Is liable to
happen. Evidences of Ill-feeling toward
American people and exultation over the
Malno disaster do not lessen. The Maine
Inquiry dwarfa Interest in Cuban politics , but
recent developments carry official confession
of the failure of autonomy.

HAVANA , ( Via Key West. Fla. , Feb.

WITHDRAWS HIS RESOLUTION
Senator Allen Thinks it is Doomed to
Defeat ,
SAVES FURTHER TIME IN DISCUSSION
.Hfiuilor Spoiiner MnUrn n l.cmil Argu
ment In Favor of llir Vnllillly
of ( Appointment of
llenrjv. . Corliclt.
WASHINGTON , Fob. 21. A feature of
the senate's session today was the speech
of Mr. Spoonor ( Wlo. ) on the right of Henry
W. Corbctl to a scat In tbo str.ato from
Oregon , under appointment of the governor.
Mr. Spocoor mnde a constitutional argu
ment in favor of seating Mr. Corbett nnd had
not concluded before the senate adjourned.
An effort was made to obtain considera
tion of the Alaskan homestead and railroad
right of way hill , but on a parliamentary
technicality It went over.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Allen to appoint n committee of five sen
ators to Investigate the Cuban sltuattcn was
withdrawn by Its author when It was laid
before thu senate.
At the opening of the sc slco the chap
lain besought the throne of grace that In this
momentous hour of out1 history the blessing
of ttto Holy Spirit might be granted and rest
upon the president nd vice president of the
United States , both branches of the congress
and all the people of the country. Ho prayer
that the honor and dignity and rights of our
country might be upheld.
i\ joint resolution providing for an estimate.
of the cost of making a channel through
Double Layou , cast side of Galvostou bay ,
Texna. was adontcd.
At the conclusion of the morning business
the vice president laid before the senate the
resolution of Mr. Allen ( Neb. ) , which was
laid over from yesterday. It provides for
the appointment of live senators to make an
Inquiry Into the condition of affairs In
Cuba , with a view to bringing the war to a
peaceful rnid.
ALLEN WITHDRAWS IT.
Mr. Allen said that , being satisfied
from the vote on hid amendment yes
terday that tlie fate of UUs resolution
was qnlto Well sealed ho would withdraw It
from further consideration of the senate.
Sir. Hanshroiigh ( N. D. ) called up the bill
extending the homestead laws and providing
for right of way for railroads In the terri
tory of Alaska. After brief desultory ds- !
oussion Str. Hansbrough concluded not to
press the bill until Sir. Spocner ( Wls. ) had
delivered a speech on the Corbett case.
Mr. Spponer made a legal argument In
favor of the admission of Henry W. Cornell
to the Etr.atc. Ho said thai as > \ lawyer ho
felt that ho himself had no niftier or better
right to a seat In the senate than Sir. Cor-
brtt. He paid the primary power to fill ncata
in the senate from any state was In the leg
islature of the state , but In the reading of
the 'Coi'Stltiitlon It ought to bo remembered
that this very matter was ono of dispute In
the constitutional convention. Ho said the
RC'ivstltutlon pointed out that each state
sfiould be the peer of every other state , not
In population , not In wealth , not In area ,
but In the number of votes In the senate.
Where the constitution could bo amended
fy the action of two-thirds of the states , It
was expressly provided that no state could
be deprived of representation In the senate
without Its consent. It was the purpose , un
doubtedly , of rho framers of the constitution.
In placing In tbo governor the power to make
temporary appointment , to safeguard the
rights and Interests of the state so that
every state at all times might fiavo full and
complete- representation In the senate.
REFERS TO JOHN WALKER.
An effective point was made by Sir.
Spconer when lie cited the credentials of
John Walker ot Virginia , who was appointed
to the ccnato on Slnrch .11. 1790 , by the gov
ernor of Virginia. This case , the first guber
natorial appointment made to the senate
under the constitution. Sir. Spoonor said ,
was precisely similar to that now under con
sideration , as Sir. Walker's credentials
showed that the legislature of Virginia bad
opportunity to fill the vacancy then existing ,
and fiad failed to do .so. The senate accepted
Sir. Walker's credentials and seated him.
"Can It reasonably bo held , " exclaimed
Mr. Spoonor , "that the distinguished men
then sitting In the senate know less of con
stitutional law than we do ? "
Just before the conclusion of Sir. Spooner's
remarks Sir. 'Bacon ' ( Ga. ) Inquired whether
under all circumstances In cases of antici
patory vacancy the senator from Wisconsin
( Spooner ) held that the governor had n right
to make an appointment Irrespective of the
action or ability for any reason of the legis
lature to elect.
Sir. Spooner replied that 'Sir. Bacon had
correctly stated his position.
'Sir. ' Bacon then cited the hypothelical case
of a legislature being Influenced by the cor
rupt use of money not to elect in order that
the governor might make an appointment ,
and asked Sir. Spoonor if he would seat the
appointee of the governor.
"Certainly , " replied Sir. Spooner , "unless
It could bo clearly shown to the senate that
the appointee was himself Implicated In the
conspiracy and In the corrupt use of money. "
Sir. Hansbrough then endeavored to get
before the senate the Alaskan homestead and
railway right-of-way bill.
Sir. Wlifion ( Wash. ) said vehemently :
"There Is no more Important bill on the
calendar than this. It Is of the greatest
possible Interest and Importance to thou
sands of people In our northwestern elates , "
The senate was about to proceed with the
bill when Sir. Rawllns ( Utah ) made the point
of no quorum. A roll call developed the
lack nf a quorum and Sir. Rawllns moved to
adjourn.
Division was demanded and the senate ad
journed at 4:35 : p. m. by a vote of 17 to 11.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 24. ( Special Tele

the campaign for the Indian congress Mil
had been thoroughly agreed upon. Should a
fight result over the free homes amendment
as attached to thd Indian -bill , thereby draw-
I'J.'K the llneu shnrn. It will bo the aim ot
the Nebraska delegation to steer clear of any
entangling alliances , allowing the house to
nonconcur In the Indian congroM amend
ment and send It to conference. As now
seems certain there will bo a strong effort
made to get the house to adopt the tree
homes amendment as attached to the Indian
bill by the senate , and It means a hard fight.
Under these circumstances It has been
thought best by tbo Nebraska delegation to
stand from under and a waiting policy will
bo pin sued.
Dr. J. L. Jackson was today appointed a

at Sheridan , Wyo.

Indian schools for the quarter ending De
cember 30 , 1897. Compared with the corresponding

of attendance was 914. In schools under the
dlrccl conlrol of the Indian commissioner an
Increase of 1,238 Is recorded , whllo n decrease
of 301 4s shown In the enrollment of contract
schools. The Indian office has endeavored
for some tlmo lo induce congress lo abolish
conlract schools and 'bring all schools under
the exclusive direction ot the commissioner.
An ofllclal said today the above figures
showed that parents and pupils take but a
slight Interest In contract schools and
claimed that this was due lo Iho fact thai
Iho commissioner exercised bill supervisory

Caitwr Irritation.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 21. At the Spanish
legation much Interest Is manifested In the
developments attending the ' .Malno Inquiry ,
and the earnest hope Is expressed that con
servative. Judgment will not bo Influenced
by reports , which , by the Spanish legation ,
are regarded us untrustworthy. Jlr , dn Jos ) > o
and others of the staff of the legation are
maintaining a calm attitude and are seeking
to allay everything which might Intlamo
public sentiment. Recently an Incident oc
curred at a small city which might liavo
given the ground for olllclal attention had It
not been smoothed by the tactful action of
the Spanish olllclals at the place of the In
cident. The aggressive element prevailing In
this local community found expression
agnlnst the Spanish consular agent located
at this point. Under ordinary circum
stances ho would have- brought the Indig
nities to the attention of Urn Spanish olll-
clala hero , In which case It would of noeeu-
slty have been made the subject of olllclal
attention. Instead of so doing , however , thu
Spanish agent appealed to the mayor of the
city and a satisfactory adjustment was made
without an appeal to the authorities here.
The Incident was thus closed before there
was ovcm the opportunity of friction and It
Is cited as an liu'tanco ' of the desire of the
Spanlah authorities to show every forbear
ance and friendly spirit.
The Spanish cruiser Vlzcaya will proba
bly sail tomorrow for Havana. That , however -
over , Is a matter wholly within the discre
tion of Captain Eulate. It Is probable that
It would have been gouo before this timeIt
It were not for the misleading Impression
which r.ci early departure might occasion.
Reports received today at the legation tweak
with satisfaction of the courtesies which the
government olllclals nt Now York have
shown to the officials and men of the ship.
Captain Sobral , late naval attache of the
legation , came to Washington yesterday
and conferred with Senor du Bosc. Any
misunderstanding which has occurred na to
his ofllclal statuy Is due to the fact that the
olllclal notification of the termination of his
service has not como to him from the naval
chiefs under whom ho serves. The decree
was formally gazetted , however , and during
Captain Sobral's visit bore ho received or
ders from Madrid to report there at once.
Ho therefore will take an early steamer and
this apparently disposes of the Incident with
which his siame haa been connected.
The whereabouts of the steamer Dauntless ,
said to have sailed from Florida with a fil
ibustering expedition , Is beginning to cxclto
much comment. The expedition Is said to
have sailed over a week ago and there has
been ample time for It to reach Cuba. No
reports to this effect have been received. It
la felt that it must have encountered heavv
weather and Is possibly.disabled , or else has
made a quiet landing and Is ciow cruising
about for an avenue of escape from the
Spanish ships In watching.
