sHREWD REPUBLICAN TRICK.
How 1t Was Planned to Defeat the
Kentucky Elections Bill
To-day.

Frankfort. KY, Feb. IA shrewd trick
of the Republicans to break a quorum in
the house on the election bill tomorrow by
getting pairs with unsuspecting Democrats
was discovered by the Democratic steering
committee late tonight Warning was sent
out to Democratic members to revoke all
pairs. as the object of the Republicans in
securing them was to break a quorum when
the election bill comes up. Owing to the
lateness of the hour and the determination
of Republicans to get out of town on early
morning trains, it is possible that some pairs
may not be revoked. but the Democrats say
they will denounce the scheme in the house
and demand that pairs be broken. The bill
will be put on its passage tomorrow, and
but two days remain for its safe delivery to
Governor Bradley in time to pass it again
over his expected veto.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The Evening Star
has received the following cablegram from
Mr.. Charles NJ. Pepper, its staff correspond
ent iE Cuba:
AT this writing divers are developing i'm
portant results. From examination of the
interior wreckage they have secured evil
dencc which seems conclusive that the
explosion came from underneath the ship.
Some of the smaller magazines may have
exploded, but the main ten-inch magazine
did not explode. The condition of the in
terror of the ship shows further probability
of the wreck having been due to outside
force.
THE further the investigation progresses
the more untenable becomes the theory
which the Spanish government adduced to
show accidental cause. IT Is evident the
Spanish case will be based on the claim
that a fire preceded the explosion.
Captain Sampson and his colleagues OF
the naval board may have outside evil
dence offered regarding torpedo float pro-
ducing the explosion.
Said one diver who had been engaged in
the work of getting bodies out from under
the hatch: God may be merciful to men
who blew those poor fellows to eternity.

before Longs order prohibiting officers

the explosion was not an accident. JIe had

judging.
1.-The Havana public is not permitted to
know the intensity Of public sentiment in
the United States. Only meager details are
permitted to be known of what happens in
Washington. Congress is watched with ex-
cessive anxiety by palace officials. but the
populace knows nothing of what is liable
to happen.
Evidence Of ill-feeling toward American
people and exultation over the Maine dis
aster do not lessen.
