THE MAINE'S ORE AT DEATH BOIX
Never in the whole history of the
United States has there been a naval
catastrophe so destructive to human
life as the wreck of the Maine, Bays the
Boston Journal.
••Not only is this true of the years of
peace, but it is true of the years of war.
More brave men went down with the
burned and shattered hulk of our noble
armorclnd than have perished in any
single sea fight of the republic. The
bloodiest day in our naval history was
that fatal Bth of March, IS(>2, when the
iron-mailed Mcrrimac came into Hamp
ton Roads and crushed successfully the
frigate Congress and the sloop-of-war
Cumberland. Though these two ships
were defended with extraordinary hero
ism, hurling their last defiant broad
sides at their impregnable foe just as
the flamea and the waves overwhelmed
them, the deaths on neither vessel were
equal to those on the Maine. The Con
gress lost 130 out of a complement of
434; the Cumberland, 120 out of 376.
"Btrauge as it may seem, the dead of
the Maine outnumber several times
over all the men who fell in the Union
fleet at Farragut's first great victory of
New Orleans. Thirty - seven officers
and sailors gave up their lives in that
fierce night battle on the Mississippi.
One hundred and forty-five perished in
the fiercer encounter of Mobile Bay,
but 93 of those sauk at their posts with
the torpedoed monitor Tecumseh.
Only 20 men fell in Admiral Porter's
first attack on Fort Fisher, December
24 and 25, 1864, and 82 was the total
loss of the fleet in the second and vic
torious combat.
"Not only is the death roll of the
Maine greater than that of any sea
battle which the United States has
fought, but it is greater than that of
any battle save one of the British navy
in the past hundred years. The Brit
ish loss was somewhat larger at Trafal
gar, reckoning the casualties of the en
tire fleet, but no single ship suffered
more than a fraction of the loss which
the Maine sustained by the terrible ex
plosion. Nelson's flagship, the Victory }
was under fire for five hours, and was
reduced to a mere wreck, but her
killed were only 57 out of a full crew of
600. At the battle of the Nile, the
Bellerophon, which was most cut up of
all of Nelson's ships, lost 49 men out of
584, and the whole fleet lost 213. Jervis
won his Earldom at Cape St. Vincent,
with a loss of 73 }men, and 203 fell on
the British side at Camperdown."
The nation is anxiously awaiting
the official report of the naval officers
appointed to ascertain the cause of and
flx the responsibility, if possible, for
what is now generally called and will
be recorded in history as "the Maine
disaster." The reports of the Havana
correspondents of the great eastern
journals and the well guarded utter
ances of American naval officers at
Havana and government officials at
Washington leave little room for doubt
that the terrible catastrophe was caused
by the explosion of a sub-marine mine
directly beneath the ship, and while
it seems, almost incredible that the
Spanish authorities in Cuba could have
deliberately conspired to perpetrate
such a fearful crime, it seems equally
incredible that sub-marine mines or
torpedoes could be so placed in the har
bor, without the knowledge of the au
thorities, as to make such a disaster
possible. The anchorage place of the
visiting vessel was particularly desig
nated by the harbor master of Havana
and marked by a buoy, and it is now
considered a suspicious coincidence
that a Spanish cruiser, which was
anchored close to the Maine when the
latter was moved to the fatal spot,
changed her anchorage to place of
aafety a few hours previous to the ax
plosion. That the situation is consid
ered serious by the president and his
cabinet is evident from the unusual
activity at all the ordinance and am
munition factories in the country and
from the rapidity with which work is
being hastened upon new naval vessels
find coast defenses. It is to be hoped
that the country will be spared the
calamity of war, but it can hardly be
Avoided if it is proven that the Spanish
government is directly or indirectly
responsible for the Maine disaster. It
may well be considered doubtful if the
people of this country would be satis
fled, if such proof is shown, with a de
mand for liberal indemnity, even if
such a demand were to be promptly
complied with by Spain. From every
section of our mighty republic our gov
ernment will be called upon to inter
pose with foroe of arms in behalf of
Cuba and put an end forever to Span
ish rule on the western continent. At
the beginning of the present century
8 pain exercised dominion over more
Mian 7,000,000 square miles, or over 45
per cent of the New World, while now
she is fighting desperately, treacherous
ly and hopelessly to retain her sover
eignty over the last vestage of her once
great western possession*, now limited

to less than 40,000 square miles In the
West Indies.
Nearly every taxpayer In the
county has within the past few days
received a little reminder of abortive
Populist legislation in the form of a de
mand from the county treasurer for the
payment of personal taxes, which "can
not be paid in installments, but are
payable in full immediately after the
tax rolls are open, viz., the first Mon
day in February of each year, thirty
days' notice being given." The treas
urer's notice in this county bears date
of February 21 and the taxes must
therefore be paid on or before March
23, or the treasurer will be required
under the law to proceed to collect "by
distraint and sale of property." This
situation is brought about through the
decision of the state supreme court de
claring the exemption provision of the
revenue law unconstitutional, and it is
held also apply to the $300 exemption
allowed under the old law. A majori
ty of the members of the supreme court
are Republicans, but it happens that
the decision in this particular case was
written by Judge Reavis, who was
wafted on to the bench by the Popu
list wave of 1896, so our Populist fellow
citizens are not very consistent in their
claims that a Republican court is re
sponsible for this unexpected raid upon
the people's pockets.
... ■
In the event of a war with Spain
great things would be expected of the
valiant Adjutant-General Ballaine, of
the Washington state militia, who
recently endeavored to twist the tail of
the British lion through the columns
of a London newspaper. It yet remains
to be determined whether Ballaine's
sword is any mightier than his pen.
Held in Readiness. N
Chicago, March I.—A special to The
Chronicle from Key West says:
The fleet here, made up of the New
York, lowa, Marblehead, Montgomery,
Nashville, Cushing and Ericson, as
well as three battleships, Indiana,
Texas and Massachusetts, now at Dry
Tortugas, received orders to hold them
selves in readiness to start for Havana
at the tap of the drum.
The Detroit has left here for Dry
Tortugas, where she will join the squad
ron. The orders came from Long in
Washington to Admiral Slcard, and
are said to be based on information
wired from Havana by the captain of
the Bace, United States coast survey
boat, which left for Havana yesterday.
The captain of the Bache told such a
story of the heated state of the Havana
public and the probability of riot at any
moment, and danger to Americans now
in Havana to flow therefrom, that Long
at once made the order indicated.
Diario del Ejercito, the Spanish army
gazette, received here from Havana,
says that Spain has notified the United
States that the Maine's remains must
not be removed and that the work
must stop until the government re
ceives the report of the United States
court of iuquiry.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition ot the kidneys. When urine
stain% linen it is evidence of kidney troub
le. Too frequent desire to urinateor pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, blader and every part of
the urinay passage It corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it. or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swam-Root is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
