Developments.
A New York Herald's Washington dis
patch says: The Cuban situation is preg-
nant with possibilities. There IS not Il
public man in Washington who does not
fully realize the gravity Of the situation.
Tie President, his Cabinet, Consul Gen
eral Lee and officials and diplomats
generally are waiting for the Develop
ments Of the next fortnight with the
greatest concern as to the result. All
hands seem agreed that the real crisis is
connected with Weyler's present cam
paign against Mace0.
Gen. Lee says: II don't know when !
will return to Havana. A great deal de-
ponds upon the developments there within
the next few days. l do not deny that the
situation is serious, but deprecate the talk
Of war between the United States and
SPAIN"
No one is more anxiously watching the
developments than Cleveland. The Cuban
feature of his message Is held back and

mite is heard as 10 result Of Weyler's mill

Sunday Night.
The fact that at midnight Sunday night
was to begin the transm ission of power
from the falls TO Buffalo for the first time
drew a very large crowd OF people to the
power honse OF the Niagara Falls Power
Company.
AT 11:45 Messrs. Rankin, Breckenridge
and Lincoln took positions on the raised
platform in front Of the swi,chl GARD on
the main floor OF the lower house and ar
ranged the switches. Shortly before II
O'clock Mr.. Breckinr Dig, notified Mr.. Ed
m0nds in the tr lnslOcmer house that the
electrici y was ready for the transformers,
and u moment later the switch was
thrown and the electricity was rushing
through the transformers, out on the line
and away to Buffalo. MIR. Edmonds pro-
nounced the machinery all right und
formally delivered it t, Mr.. Breckenridge
Tor the power com pany. 1t was accepted
and then the curii mt was shut off for Il
lrief space. Communication was had
with the street railway company in Buff
alo that everything was in readiness at
that end Of the line. Mr.. Rankin then
stepped to the platform, threw the switch
over and NiagarA's power was in Buffalo.
A salute OF twe,ty-one guns was fired by

stand with rs again, and il they do there
ID no possibility Of passing the bill"
