TROUBLE is FEARED.


Havana, February 23-Consul General
Lee has advised Americana not necessarl.
ly detained here to leave for home at once.
Many families will sail on the Olivette,
which leaves here this afternoon.
This action leaves no doubt as to the SO.
robustness of the state of affairs. The
officials recognize the possibility of trouble
arising suddenly, and their inability at
present to protect women and children II
an outbreak occurs
1t Is believed that the cause of General
Lees action Is the findings Of the Naval
Court CT Inquiry,
Although the officers OF the Board pre-
serve an inpenetrable reserve, it is known
that some of the best naval experts now
believe that the Maine disaster was the re.
suit Of treachery.
Testimony before the Court of Inquiry
Is said to have proved this fact. 1t Is fear
ed that when the truth Is known 1t may be
impossible to restrain the Spaniards here.
whose hate for Americans daily increases.
The Court of Inquiry heard the impor-
tant testimony of Lieutenant Wainwright,
executive officer Of the Inflated Maine.

tant bearing on tho blowing up OF the
Names magazine.
Spain has ordered her torpedo squadron
to sail for Havana OF once, and the squad

They do not believe thatSpanish officials

the Spanish Government. General Blanco
and all his military subordinates were
guiltless alike of knowledge or partlcipa-
ton In the crime. tbs believed to have
been the work Of a fanatic.
Naval officers fear that when the facts
arc known it may be impossible to restrain
public sentiment President Mckinley
and Secretary Long are said, frankly, by
officials who have wired directly from
Washington, to be strenuously for peace.
Both hope that the Naval Board Of In
auiry will be able to prove that no crime
has been committed even by Spanish IT,

But the American officers fear trouble
when all the facts are known. They do
not expect any public revelations, or any
radical change in the situation for week.

CUBAN PLACE NAMES.

In Cuba there are no Smithvilles, no
Jones functions, no Robinson's Fer
ries. But every locality there has
name; a great many insignificant
places, with no more than ranch house
to mark them off from the forest, have
actually two names-one in the mouth
of the people who live thereabout or
who travel that way, the other on the
old Spanish maps or in official reports
When our army landed in Cuba 1t
found that the villages and localities
had an embarrassment Of names. Dali
quiri was also called Los Altares, and
Siboney was sometimes Juragua, and

TOWN OF pooH-BAHs.
Every One in 1t Is an OGlcer ana
Every One of Them Is
in Trouble.

The town Of Chesilhurst, which is in
Camden county, N. j., contains only
80 voters. yet it has city government,
with a mayor, board of aldermen, tax
collectors, police justice, constable,
city treasurer, comptroller, Jail keeper
and all the rest of it. 1t is a comic
opera town, and just now the entire
city government is in all sorts of dis
grace.
Three OF the five aldermen are under
bonds to appear before the next grand
jury to answer to the charge of mis-
demeanor in Office in making appropri-
ations of funds which had no existence
in the city treasury. The charge was
made against them by Mayor Heacock,
who gave them a hearing before him
self, giving testimony against them.
To get even with the mayor the three
aldermen forced him TO issue a warrant
for his own arrest on the charge Of not
paying his personal taxes, which
amounted 10 S401.
Il am innocent" said the mayor.
"but commit myself to the custody Of
Constable Bates for further hearing"
Under the law the constable has pow
er to sell the mayors personal eifecls-
If they do not realize S4.0l he can put
the mayor in Jail till he pays the
amount. But as his honor has the ap-
pointment of the constable. Bates is
afraid to make any move against him.
knowing that if he started to the jail
with the mayor he would be removed
from Office on the way there. So the
three bellicose aldermen have preferred
charges against Bates for malfeasance
In Office in not arresting Heacock. The
mayor is considering the charges.
At the hearing of the cases there is
never any audience. the entire popula-
tion Of the town being present in some
official capacity. Every one has an Of
fee. and several persons have three or
/ four.
The aldermen threaten to ask the
governor Of New Jersey TO call out the
state troops 10 make the mayor behave.
The mayor himself has been in close
consultation with the sheriff of the
county with view TO having martial
law declared.-Chicago Journal.

A FOG BUOY INVENTION.

John T. Stoops, a merchant of this
city, has in his possession a patent and
working model of buoy that will give
alarms at stated intervals and will
work as well in still water as it does
in a sea. This buoy would be of great
service to vessels during foggy
weather. The bell or horn can be so
regulated as to strike or blow, a given
signal denotlng its position, so that the
mariner will know the exact location
of his vessel in the dense fog.
