Packard delivered this evening the fourth
lecture of the series instituted at the Culver
Military Academy. The subject of the lee
ture was Grant and the Mississippi" The

Grants campaign in the West designed to
open the Mississippi for the Union armies,
thereby dealing the Confederacy a fatal
blow by combining its limits there, followed
up with General Grants efforts to enter
the service in any capacity where he could
be useful, his career as colonel OF the 1Wen-
ty-first Illinois, as brigadier general and
commander CT the district of Cairo, the
taking OF Forts Henry and Donelson, and
gave a graphic description OF the battle OF
Shiloh which, with the fall of Corinth,
opened the Mississippi from Cairo TO Mem
phis and practically to VickSburg. The
lecturer followed the great general 10 Chat-
tanooga, and TO the day in the woods OF
Virginia, when the tanners son had be-
come the commander of a million men in
arms, then TO Appomattox, and the over
throw of the Confederacy. He drew the

great generals of the world, which he
named in the following order: Grant,

Lieut.. SObrai Thinks the Watch of the
Maine Was Not VigiIant

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-The Herald to-
morrow will say: Lieutenant ]. c. Sobra,
naval attache of the Spanish legation at
Washington, was in this city yesterday
actively cooperating with the authorities
in preparing for insuring the safety of the
Spanish battle ship Vizcaya during her stay
in this port.
Lieutenant Sobrai was asked for his
opinion as to the cause of the explosion on
the Maine. His reply was: Il know the
cause of the explosion, but cannot divulge
ton on this point, and he finally replied:
1T was the result of an explosion inside
the ship, which took place in one of the
forward magazines. The fact of the mat
ter is that the discipline and the watch OBJ
served on the ship were very lax. This, as
one English newspaper the other day de-
clared. is the case on American war ships
CURED on previous occasions on American
war vessels
When Lieutenant Sobrai was spoken to
about the possibility of serious trouble over
the Maine affair he said: Il do not think
there will be war between the United States
and Spain, but if such an unfortunate con-
dition should arise / SHALL of course, be IN
a position to be of much aid to my govern
ment as a result of the information which
has come to my knowledge as the naval at
tache at the Spanish legation. In the case

Starr anyhow and drove to Marion yester-
Gay for the license. Miss Starr went to the
lodge meeting last night and soon after Mr..
Dyson drove up in open buggy. Leaving
his rig standing he went UP the stairs,
three at a time, brushed past the guards
at the lodge room doors and entered the
hall. Miss Starr joined him willingly, tax
ing no time to don her wraps, and they
rushed to the buggy. BY this time the girl
father was on the scene and attempted 10

MIR. HoDApP ACQUITTED.
Judge VoyIes Takes Prompt Action in
a spite" Case.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
SEYMOUR, Ind, Feb 1S-Messrs. J. II.
Hodapp, ex-president, George Weinken-
hoeffer, ex-secretary and treasurer, and
George Wettig, ex-superntendent of the de-
funct Home Furniture Company, were this
afternoon acquitted. by Judge Samuel B.
Voyles, of the Jackson Circuit Court, OF
the charge of having misappropriated the
company's money. The grand jury which
returned the indictments made itself motor
ious by the large number of indictments re-
turned which failed to stand in court. The
case was called this morning, and Apple
white & Applewhite and Carl Wood, attor-
neyS for defendants, intended to offer
motion to quash the indictment on account
of statute of limitations, but to this MI.
Hodapp objected on the ground that, as he
was accused of dishonesty, he wanted the
court to hear the evidence; and, further, he
wanted to show to his many friends in In
diana the faIsity of the charges preferred.
Only four witnesses were called by the
state. ii. c. Johnson and Lynn Faulkoner,
two experts, who had examined the books,
testified that the company's money had
never been nisappropriated. The two other
witnesses were George Schatfer and George
Beckman. two men who were stockholders
in the factory, the latter having succeeded
Mr.. Winkenhoeffer as secretary and treas
urer. There was no evidence produced that
would incriminate the defendants, so that
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas M. Honan
saw he had no case AS soon as the state
rested Judge Voyies said that it was UNI
necessary for the defendants to introduce
any witnesses, as there was nothing in the
case and he would acquit the defendants.
The judges decision met with "a round OF
hand~clapping and the defendants received
the hearty congratulations of large num-
Der of the prominent business men of this
city who were III attendance. Mr.. Hodapp
is one of the most prominent grain and
commission merchants in southern Indiana
and is held in high esteem and respect by
all who know him. Several years ago his
friends urged him to make the race for the
Republican nomination for treasurer OF
state, but he refused to allow the use of his
name. The bringing of the Indictment is
said to have been a ease of spite, the
company was in q high state of prosperity
when Mr.. Hodapp retired from the presi-
dency in January, 1886. The company be-
came insolvent in one year after his retire
ment. The people here are jubilant over
the outcome of the trial.

FEARS or sPAnIARDs.
Madrid Editors Want No Private Elk
animation of the Wreck,

MADRID, Feb. 1S.-The newspapers here
are urging the government to adopt great
precautiOn when the American divers arrive
and not to allow them to descend alone
and examine the Maine, as divers sent by
private persons might be bribed to report
at variance with the actual facts and might
even do something to the hull which would
serve as confirmation of their report
Here it is thought improbable that Captain
General Blanco will allow private divers to
descend, or even those sent officially by the
United States government, if they are I'M
accompanied by Spanish divers. The news
papers here fear serious trouble unless a
strict supervision is exercised, and they
claim to foresee the necessity for employing
divers of third nation to arbitrate in the
event of a disagreement between the Span
ish and American divers. The whole press
enjoins the most rigorous supervision of the
