The probabilities appear to be
that festival receptions to the Boys

Hawaiian hospitality has not been
lessened.

they are entitled to the hospitality

 Troubles the Cause.

The little town of Grace, about 10 miles South of here on the Cotton Belt road, was treated to a sensa- tion Sunday afternoon.

The 0 ficial Finding of the Court of Inquiry on the Maine Disaster Anxiously Awaited at

WASHINGTON, March 19-The keen est expectancy is apparent in all official quarters today in anticipa- tion of the early receipt of the report from the court of inquiry on the Maine disaster. Warlike prepara- tions are continued with unabated vigor at the war and navy depart ments, but the main interest of the officials is centered in the forthcom- ing report. The interest is so Intense that many reports have gained cir culation to the effect that the official document would be in the hands of the President within the next twen ty- four hours, but these coniectures were found to be inaccurate. A cab inet officer stated it would be here early next ssweek. Beyond this he would not go. It is stated definitely that no advance intimation as to the character of the report has been received here.

Mayor D. c. Bell filed h1s veto with the city clerk Saturday afternoon of the councils allowance of the Light and Water Co.'S account for the month of January. The Mayors veto is as follows:
 Pine Bluff, Ark, Mar. II, 1898. To the Honorable City Council
 Gentlemen:-
 I beg herewith to re- turn without my approval, account of the Light and Water Company for the month Of January and the order of the City Council at it's last meeting, directing payment of the same in the sum of $550.
 On investigation 1 find that the Light Sc Water Company is not only continuing in it's failure to supply the city and her citizens with the quantity and quality of water re- quired under contract, but is mak. ing no apparent effort to overcome the difficulties, which have so long stood in the way and will continue in the way of It's ever complying with the contract between the city and itself, unless removed under such conditions.
 I am indisposed to lend my sanc- tion to the payment of this bill, and will state further, that until some effective move is made on the part of the Light & Water Company. look ng to correction of these troubles, which have been so long complained of by the citizens of this city. or un- til some expression of the peoples Gfssapproval of my course in refus. ing to lend aid to this company's s unjust demands is made manifest at the ballot box, I will continue to lodge he responsibility of settling these claims solely with you gentle men of the council. Respectfully,
 D. C. BELL,
 Mayor.
