AT HIGH PRESSURE,
Work at the New York Navy Yard
Night and Day.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Beginniug
today the work at the navy yard will
be under high pressure. Orders have
been issued to all the chiefs Of the yard
departments that hereafter work will
be continued night as we'll as day
In addition to the large amount Of
work for the yard in changes ON the
recent purchases of yachts and tugs for
the auxiliary navy, the ammunition
hoists Of the battleship Texas may be
altered. These alterations will prob
ably require a week.
A story that the Texas had a hole
In her hull is denied by the officers
There are now five yachts and seven
tugs now in the navy yard that have
been purchased for use as an auxiliary
fleet. The yachts are the Mayfiower,
Hermoine, Columbia, Almy and Alicia.
The tugs are the WINS, Wise, E. T.

bee, who is one Of the most popular
officers in the United States navy.
1T was needless to send the Maine
to Havana, as American interests were
amply protected by Gen. Lee and also
by the Cuban government, the latter
often acting to it's disadvantage and
in favor of American interests"
Continuing, La Lucia remarks: ut
is well for Spain to know at least the
real purpose of the money loving
Americans. Spain now knows what to
expect and how to act"
The La Lucia then warns the United
States that she expects to have all her
own way in Cuba. She can only do SO
with cannon"

Comment of the Spanish Press Bit
ter I'm Tone.
HAVANA, March 2S.-Deep interest
is felt here in the news received today
from the United States.
La Lucia in an editorial says: 1.-THE
United States note to Spain demanding
that a date be fixed to end the HOSTILE
ties, is simply a declaration of war. 1t
was not issued until after the finding
of the United States court Of inquiry
had been received, which finding is
without scientific basis and Is open to
question even upon the part of the most
prejudiced. President Mckinley has
been forced by lingo opinion and the
sensational newspaper press to close
the question and to shield Capt. Sigs-

NEW YORK, March 2S.-"The United
States may make arrangements with SPAIN
but the Cubans will never consent to an
armistice or any other plan but independ-
ence," said Horatio S.. Rubens, counsel for
the junta, today. 1.-The Cubans would be
thankful for the interest shown by this coun-
try, but would have to respectfully decline
all such propositions. 1t is an absolute loss
of time for the United States to entertain any
negotiations Of the kind with SPAIN"

WHOLE NUMBER 1854.

In his official report of the battle of
Santiago, Gen. Kent gave the following
deserved praise to a Van Buren, county
boy who went into the regular army via
West Point: II desire to particularly
mention First Lieutenant Wendell l..
Simpson, adjutant ninth infantry, act
ing assistant adiutant general third
brigade, who was noticeably active and
efficient in carrying out orders which |
had given him to transmit to his brigade
commander, who no longer existed"
This recognition will undoubtedly re-
suit in giving Lieutenant Simpson sub
stantial promotion.
Work is now being pushed on the s
II. & h. track west of this place, and the
prospect is now bright for the compile
tion of the work before September 10.
The heavy rail is now laid past Ryan's
crossing, near Reynolds lake. The steel
will be laid to Lawrence, or nearly there,
this week. The track is being laid to
the narrow gauge, so that the old
engines and cars can be used in con-
struction, the old iron taken up at once,
and the transfer station kept where
there is yard room and other facilities;
but one rail is placed in it's permanent
location and the outer spikes driven for
the other, so that the widening can be
done with very little labor. If Lawrence
is reached Saturday, it would not be
surprising to see the gauge widened to
that point Sunday. This is surmise
merely, as the officials are quiet concern
ing their plans. The old iron is being
shipped away as rapidly as it is taken
up. The work of moving the elevator is
now in progress. The Northerner is
very much pleased at the outlook, and
all will welcome the day when the mar
row gauge is thing Of the past.
