BLANCO TO START EAST.
lie Proposes TO Destroy Insurgent
Power There.

MADRID, March 1S.-It is asserted that
the central and western provinces having
been pacifed, General Blanco is about
starting on extensive operations, with
eighty ~battalions and large volunteer
forces, to destroy the insurgent power in
Eastern Cuba.
General Blanco will direct his efforts
especially toward deInolishing what is
described as the more or less embryonic
Organization which has enabled the rebels
to maintain the appearance Of "A govern
meut.'
The government Is exceedingly hopeful
Of cary results from General Blancos
plan of large operations in the eastern
part Of the island.
1t Is understood that the report of the
Spanish Naval Court upon the Maine
disaster will be delayed until the Ameri-
can report is published.
Senior Sagasta. the Premier, says the
journey Of the torpedo squadron now at
the Canaries to HabaGa has not been in
definitely postponed.
The tone of the press is more hopeful,
but financial circles are still uneasy.

SPANISH VIEW FROM SPAIN.
Spain Would Rather Have Var Than
Paw for the Mnine.

VIENNA. March 1S.-The Neue Freie
Presse publishes an interview with a
Spanish statesman, evidently the Mar
quis de Hoyos, the Spanish AmbassadoTs
who is represented as saying:
Spain would rather have war with the
United States than pay compensation for
the Maine, for by the latter cours she
would forfeit her honor through an adj
mission of guilt which would erase her
name from the liS of civilized nations.
1T could not be to England's interest
70 see the SpaniaTds expelled from Cuba,
as there might arise at Washington an
inclination TO declare Canada's indie
pendence. If during a war the United
States should incite the Philippines TO
revolt, Spain could revenge herself by
raising revolts In the American South
ern States"
The other features of the interview vir-
tually repeat the statements attributed
to Senior Cipriano del Mazo. Spanish Am
bassador to Italy. in the recent interview
with him, published in the Rome Tri-
buna.

To the Editor of the Register.
Romney, w. Va, June This has
been gala week for Romney The
annual concert at the Schools for the
Deaf and Blind took place Wednesday
evening. and as usual crowded our
ample chapel to its full capacity. The
board of regents had been in session
all day, and attended in body the
exercises at night, and professed them
selves greatly pleased.
Some changes were made in the
corps: but most of the old force has
been retained, it is believed. But
there has been some delay in making
public the action in several cases, and
nothing is known about it. 1t has
transpired, however, that the matron S
resignation was accepted and her
successor appointed in the person of
Miss Jane Handley, of Greenbrier
county. Miss McClelland, the retiring
matron. has been in the service of the
school for nearly quarter of CEN
fury.

BAER sons GROCER CO
Passed Into the Hands of Receivers
Appointed by Judge Jackson.
They Are Morris and Bernard
Horkheimer, Of This City-Ap-
plication for Receiver Was Made
by Stockholders in the Company.
No Financial Embarrassment, but
Dissatisfaction Among the Stock
holders, the Reason Assigned.

Before Judge J. ]. Jackson. in the
United States Circuit Court at Parkers-
burg, application was made Monday for
the appointment Of receivers for the
Baer Sons Grocery Company, of this
city. The court considered the matter,
and appointed as receivers Messr. Nor
ris and Bernard Horkheimer. of this
city. The application was made by
Bernard s. Baer, Edward NJ. Brash and
Joseph Laucheim, stockholders in the
company. The receivers appointed by
Judge Jackson Immediately furnished
bond in the sum Of 100000, and took
possession of all the assets of the COM
pany.
Similar applications were made and
receivers appointed in the State of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland,
where the company holds merchandise,
real estate and bill accounts.
The news of the action was generally
circulated yesterday, and gave rise to
several reports of sensational charac-
ter, which members of the company
state emphatically have no foundation
in fact. Mr.. B. S. Baer, one of the
three stockholders who asked for the
appointment Of receivers, said to a rep
resentative of the Register:
'The application was made because
of dissatisfaction among the stockhold-
ers. l don't think the nature of the
dissension in the company is matter
which should be made public, but may
say that some Of the stockholders are
dissatisfied with the policy of the COM
pany. 1t is not true that there are any
financial embarrassments, or any press
ing obligations which cannot be met
No suits have been brought by credi-
tors of the company. 1t is the inten-
ton to eventually reorganlze The com
pany, and every creditor will be paid in
full. The assets of the company are
fully double its liabilities

The last of the Union Lecture
Course was that of Prof. DcMotte on
the Harp Of the Senses We say !,
very heartily, that it was the best OF
the cOurse--as sometimes the dessert
is the better part of the feast.
Splendidly illustrated by fine stcr-
optcon views Of the latest things IN
the sensatory branch Of science, Prof.
DeMotte went on for about two and
a half hours, with one Of the most IN
structive lectures that any audience
has yet heard here. And 1t should
he taken home TO every one IN the
most thorough aud the most thought
ful way-for il is the new way, the
true way and the right way-the
natural way that men and women
are developed on character lines.
BY all means let Prof. DeMotte be
chalked down for the course next
year--for it is yitally important that
all should know more of this real
element Of truth on these lines
