week or SO ego Gen. Pando who, It
MAY be remembered, was in command OF
the Spanish forces in cuba in the interval
between Gen. Caiiipos' departure and Gen
Weyier's arrival, arose in the Cortes and
assured that iody that the United states
is in no Condition to tight Spain; that we
have 10 arms, no ships ana spain's navy is
undoubtedly better than ours. Said Pando.
IF. the United States offcnds Spain we
can return the offenses thirty TO one y
At the same time lie didn't want Spain to
declare war against this country, for lit
would surely he a calamity This makes
matters little easier, for it would have
been dreadful thing If Spain sborld have
let loose PaDdo or some other fierce hicsI,
go warrior upon us during this hot weather
andprevented us from enjoying the luscious
waternielonin peace and comfort. Pando's
gracious assurance that lie Gees rot want
Spain TO declare war relieves the President
of the necessity of calling an extra session,
putting our army Cron war footing and
all anr warships in lighting trim. 1t is
bad enough to have a Political battle on
hand without having to bother with Spain.
In.nll seriousness, however, II is a Pity
10 see this exhibition of iingoisni in the
Spanish national legislature. Tile peo-
pie are in an inflanied state of mind toward
the United States, and such silly talk as
that OF Gen. Pando only serves to excite
them still further. They are ignorant,
of course, as to the resources OF this coun-
try; they do not know-as Pando does or
ought to kuow-tliat the navy of the United
States is SO infinitely superior to that OF
Spain rs 20 make a Conflict between them

that declaration of war would be the seal
set upon the termination OF Spanish rule

sphere. For Spain to plunge into a war
with the United States would be like the
attack of rat-terrer upon lion; it
might be enEa gipg for d brief moment, but
could end in only one way Spain has

efforts to suppress the insurgents.

A natural gls explosion occurred yes
terday morning about four o'clock at
the b.. B. & N. +. street car barn, just
above West Wheeling, that did consider
able damage to a portion Of the barn.
The odd part about the affair is that
the company does not use gas in the
place and have no pipes running through
The place.
The employees of the company had
gathered in the Office waiting for time
to 20 to work. Superintendent Albert
entered the place with a lantern and
almost Immediately there was an eX-
Dlosion of no small force, caused by gas
that had gotten In The room. The
heavy board flooring was torn mp and l-
is a great wonder that some Of the Oc-
cupants of the place were not severely
injured by pieces OF the flooring .ha,
were blown off. The only person in
iured was Jack" Henderson, he hav-
ing the right side of his face burnt, but
NOT serious enough to need a physicians
attention.
The general supposition is that the
explosion was due to a leak in the nat
ural gas main Of the Wheeling Gas
Company. which runs beneath the build
ing. and under the ground The main
probably sprung a leak. and the escaD-
ing gas forced its way up under the
floor of the building.
The damage done TO the property will
not exceed thirty or forty dollars.

- Midnight Bell" al the Opera House
At the Grand.
The popularity of Chas. II. HoyJ as a
playwright was demonstrated last night
when one of the largest audiences OF
the season assembled in the Opera House
to witness the first presentation here OF
one of his latest comedies, "A Midnight
Bell The expression so frequently
heard from patrons of the play-"Any-
thing that Hoyt writes is good'-has
come TO be accepted as an indisputabla
fact. Aside from this, however, The r.
puajiOn OF Digby Bell and Laura Joyce
Bell, would be sufficient 10 attract a
large audience in Wheeling, no matter
what the play. "A Midnight Bell is
perhaps the most serious comedy which
HOyJ has written. 1t is not farce. II
is a legitimate comedy, with well de-
fined plot, but il contains hardly as
many amusing situations as the aver
Ege HOyt production With a less ca
pabie company il would not give such
general satisfaction. Tnera are many
popular favOri,es in the east, and the
speci2llies are exceedingly clever.
