IL o'clock this morning. Its discovery was ac-
cidental. When the contents of the mail pouch
were dumped upon the mailing table n small
wooden box about eight inches long, three
inches deep, and two inches wide was found, the
wrapper of which was torn of. As Clerk
Gronemyer picked up the box to examine it he

Special csbis Dsspatch TO Tns SUE.
LONDON, Feb. 26.-The events Of the past
week have considerably essed the tension Of
the situation in West Africa. For reasons of
his own Mr.. Chamberlain. acting contrary to
the usual practice of responsible statesmen,
chose TO agRravate rather than minimize the
public excitement. Lord Salisbury, on the other
hand, has sought to allay apprehension. and his
efforts have been well seconded by the utter
calm with which France received tho sudden
attack. Had French feeling been infsmod in
the manner familiar to that excitable race
serious difficulty would have been added to the
efforts to make an amioable settlement.
Paris, however, has practically given no at
tention to the whole affair. and NJ. Hanotaux's
disavowal of any desire or intention to trespass
upon Sokoto mitigated the alarm that had been
aroused by Mr.. Chamberlain's tactics.
The British Government is apparently de.
termined to save the Lagos and Gold Coast
colonies from the fate OF Sierra Leone and
Gambia and this will be effected by diplomatic
means. Even Mr.. Chamberlain, In his bellicose
speech answering Mr.. Labouchoro on Thursday.
admitted that the Government was prepared
to show a conciliatory spirit on debatable
points and even to concede q part Of England's
just rights. Taken In conjunction with tho
calm attitude Of France, this points to the Ger.
tainty that . bargain will be concluded. 1t 10
unquestionable that some definite agreement
with regard to the disputed districts is impera-
tive to insure peace and quietness. and when
this is arrived at it will probably be found that
Great Britain will be successful at such points
as Bussa and Sokoto, wherein Mr.. Chamberlain
laid greatest stress, which will enable him to
claim tho victory as due to his forcible methods.

LONDON, Feb. ga large committee of la

Tweeddale and several countesses, has been

been laboring in:behalf of the moderates in the
Radical strongholds, and their action is roughly
resented by the Radical leaders.
Mr.. John Burns has been brutally insulting

far as to denounce these representatives Of

Two days later Lady Denbigh, after a hard

Mr.. Burns came In and sat near the door. Lord
Denbigh crossed the room, tapped the agitator
on the shoulder. and took him across the room.
Then, to the amusement and delight Of the
Councillors present, he said:

Havana to-day. Nbe Thurston was lying at
anchor In the barber OF Havana, near the battle
ship Maine, when the Maine blew up. Chief
oficer Howell Of the Thurston gave out this
statement OF the disaster, corroborated by Capt
Wood:
"Wo arrived In the harbor Of Havana on Feb.
IL and were assigned to an anchorage, as near
as 1 can judge, about half n milo from the
Maine. On the night OF the explosion, about n
quarter to ten o'clock we were down below
talking when we heard the roar OF q deatening
explosion. Rushing on deck we saw the air full
OF flying fragments and the hills across the bay
lighted mp by the flames. AT first wo could not
tell what had occurred. but in a few seconds
one OF the mates cried:
THE American battleship has blown up
We immediately launched one of the boats.
and myself, the second mate. and three men
pulled for the scene of the disaster to render all
the aid possible. 1t Is impossible to describe
when we reached there. The whole for.
ward part Of the ship appeared to have
wounded were henrtrending. We picked
up several wounded men. and they
were positive in their statements that the yos.
sci was blown up from without, exclaiminK:
This Is u nice trick they have played on us.'
Two poor fellows drifted alongside our ship
dead. and We made them fast alongside until the
boats Of the Spanish man.of.w0r took them
away.
THE boats Of the Spanish man.of.war. as
well as those of the other vessels in the harbor,
did all they could to, rescue the survivors. We
attended the funeral Of the twenty six men who
Dor had their flags at half mast and sent repre-
sentatives. The collins were decorated with
wreaths and violet ribbons marked Victims of
tho Maine and | noticed ono to the memory Of
Glawton Childs. a sailor on the ship.
W sailed from Havana on last Tuesday.
and up to that time there had not been much
progress made In saving the vessel. Opinion at
the time we left WAS divided as to the cause of
the disaster. but all of the survivors ! talked
with were positive that tho snip was blown up
from the outside. | think all Havana turned
