Key West, Feb. 26.-A dis
patch from Havana says that, de-
spite the runors to the contrary,
that are in calculation, nothing is
yet known as to the conclusions
reached thus far by the court of
inquiry, The dispatch also says
that the hosting of the wreck of the
Maine from the mud in which it
has become imbedded is consider
ed almost an impossibility and
that eighteen bodies still remain in
the wreck.
A report is current in Havana
that Uuited States Consul General

alarmed. Havana is quiet.

of the diplomat, who refused to
see his visitor and informed the

GOLDsBORO N. c. THURSDAY MARCH 3, 1898.
to the Hotel Kennon, which had
been elaborately decorated


throughout it's spacious halls,
dining rooms, corridors and par
lors for the occasion, and where
the Marine Band of Norfolk dis
coursed the sweetest of music
from the balcony above as the
guests arrived and during the
hours of the dinner and reception.
And when all the dinner guests
had arrived, shortly after 6 clock,
the doors of the dining room were
thrown open, and, led by the bride
and groom and the bridal party,
the guests entered and were all
seated at table. In all the years
of Goldsboro's history and social
events there has never been a more
glittering pageant, a more sump-
tuous, successful and enjoyable
event than was this dinner. To
describe it would be impossible.
1t was a scene of unusual gayety,
rare dream of flowers and fair
women in elegance of dress and
richness of jeweling, brave men
and inspiring music, tempting
viands and satisfying substantials.
Smilax in profusion entwined the
chandeliers, huge banks of palms
and ferns whose lustrous green
was augmented with the rich
beauty of pink carnations, with
the soft reflection of myriads of
incandescent lights "gloating o'er''
and blending all into a scene of
fairyland.
During the evening near two
hundred congratulatory kilograms
from absent friends were re-
ceived and at dinner many
happy little speeches were in
dulged in by the guests in atten-
dance, notably among these were
the tenderly appropriate remarks
of Hon. Simon Wolf, of Wash
ington.
From to 9 O'Clock the bride
and groom and Mr.. and Mrs.
We'll, parents of the bride, re-
ceived their calling friends of the
city in the parlor, and of these,
indeed, there seemed no end-of
stylishly dressed ladies and gentle
men. In fact, we have never seen
Goldsbore people turn out SO num-
orously and look SO we'll. AT 8
o'clock the bride and groom re-
paired to the brides home where
they donned their travelling dress
and afterwards took the train
for 10 %. M. an extended bridal
trip South.
The guests, however, were not
permitted to leave until they had
partaken of the elegant repast
spread for their delectation, and
faultlessly served, the whole re
freshment feature of the evening
being furnished by and served
under the personal supervision o1
Richmond's renowned caterer
Mr.. J. A. Morris. Later in the
evening the spacious dining hal
was cleared and to the voluptuous
music of the Marine band dancing
was indulged in until the wee
sma' hours.
At the palatial home of the
bride, artistically decorated fol
the joyous occasion, the display
Of bridal presents was truly mag
nifcent to look upon and bewil
dering in their beauty and multi
tude. -
One happy feature of this mar
riage, and in it exemplifying tn
thoughtful charity that is a par

night getting the share belonging TO the vessels
at the Tortugas on board the Marblehead. That

The ammunition that is coming overland to

LONDON. March lo.-In tho House Of Com

tary to the Foreign once. said in reply to .
question by r. c. Munro Ferguson. member for
Lcith, that no communication had passed be-
tween the Government of Great Britain and
President Mckinley regarding Cuba.
A question Of which notice was given by Mr..
II. V. Duncombe. Conservative. member for
West Cumberland. appeared upon the printed
list OF to.day's notices. but IL was not put to
Parliamentary Secretary Curson, doubtless at
that gentleman's request. The question was
whether, with tho view of recognizing the
identity OF all the EnRlish.speaklng peoples. the
Government had considered the advlssbiiity Of
placing tho services of tho British neet at tho
disposal OF the United States In tho event Of
complications between that country and q for.

Tho consensus Of opinion in tho lobby Of the
House Of ommons was that Mr.. Duncombe's

as the United States was not In need Of any
such assistance.
1t is learned that the suppression of Mr.. Dun

we Can Get the Plans and nuild Torpedo
Beat Destroyers Here.
The Navy Department wants to add q num-.
Der of torpedo-boat destroyers TO the feet Of
warships. 1t is known positively that It was
dickering with the Thornycrofts of England
for four boats that woro building. 1t would
very likely have made tho purchase II the
Thornycrofts had not at the last minute re-
ceived notice from the English Government
that the sale would not be permitted.
Since then John Platt, the agent of the Thorny-
crofts in this country, has been visiting the ship
builders here. His company, in addition to refus-
ing to sell tho boats on hand, is not in a position
to build boats for this country because 1t has
fifteen months work ahead Of 1t. Mr.. Platt has
explained fully to the shipbuilders the work
that there Is to DO done In constructing tor
pedo- boat destroyers, and the owners Of the
yards he has visited have estimated that tho
boats could be built In their yards In from six
to eight months, provided they have the COM
plote drawings and plans from the 1horny.
crofts. Mr.. Plat, who was In this city yes
tcrday, said that the Thornycrofts were at pres
ent building thirty of these boats. He thought
that the American Navy should have q num-
Der of this character Of boats In Its fleet with
out delay. The builders hero, he said, could
undoubtedly procure tho drawings and plans
from England ana work could Do Deguh at once,
a torpedo-boat destroyer Is nothing moro or
less than q very large torpedo boat. The or
binary torpedo boat cannot travel in tho open
sea with safety. A destroyer is between 21o
and 225 feet in length. 1t draws only four or
five fee: of water, which is about the Same that
q torpedo boat draws. 1t has a coal-carrying
capacity sufficient to enable it to cross the
ocean, and 1t has twin screws and triple ex-
pansion engines capable Of developing 5000
horse power. which insures q speed Of thirty
knots or more an hour. This Is considerably
faster than the ordinary torpedo boats travel.
Torpedo-boat destroycrsc cost between $500, 600
and S40O 600. They are built to carry four or
five six-pound guns and one thirteen-pound
quick-fre gun. These guns are sufficient to do
stroy any torpedo boat or to sink an ordinary
unprotected gunboat. They also carry two
tornado fubes
