Key West had beei, the subject Of gravs
hpDsohsnsion BY the Spanish government
INDEMNITY CLAIMS

Xsy west had been the subject Of gravE
hpDsohenslcn BY the Spanish government
INDEMNITY CLAIMS
The semi-ofricial statement given out al
Madrid advising the government that de-
uand for indemnity based on Spanish re-
oponsibflity for the Maine explosion would
be Indignantly repelled by Spain. attracted
much interest IN official circles. There has
been but little doubt for some time that
Spain was preparing for the contingency
OF an adverse report by the American court
Of inquiry, and to that end was preparing
to anticipate and offset 1t by making clear
the governments policy of standing by the
report Of the Spanish commission. The re-
port of the latter body was due in Madrid
yesterday, and while its conclusions are
not officially known, it is foregone con-
cIusion that it will find that the Maine dis
aster was due to an accident resulting In
internal explosion. This was foreshad-
owed in the advance utterances of Cap
tain Peral, head of the Spanish commits
sion, who stated publicly several days age
that the theory Of external explosion was
untenable.
CAUSE FOR WAR
Along with the semi-official statement
from Madrid that a demand for indemnity
will be Indignantly repelled is the further
statement from reliable sources that Spain
has made it clear to the authorities here
that Intervention may lead to war.
The prospects of such Intervention ap-
pear to be seriously entertained by Spain
and strong efforts have been made to avert
1t by showing that the condition of the
reconcentrados did not warrant the step,
and that it would threaten to end all pros
poets Of further pacific negotiations. Each
government has been sounding the other
on the activity in searching for ships, but
there has been little ground for objection
on either side, as both have been in the
same markets The administration ex-
plains its buying of ships on the ground
that Spain's attitude has been so menacing
as naturally to call for an augmented navy,
while Spain takes the same view that the
activity in the United States requires suit
able preparations by the Spanish navy
The report that Spain had protested
against fllibustering expedition to Porto
Rico cannot be verified. as officials here
say this expedition has not as yet got away.

promise speedy and complete triumph for

In the near future important problems will
arise out of the war In which the nation is now
engaged. Among others will be the disposition
to be made Of the conquered territory. The
people can safely leave the wise and patriotic
solution Of these questions to a republican

EXTRACTING THE YOUNG IDEA.
The Infant Mind Is One of the Pro-
found Mysteries of Nature--
Some InstnnceA.

Two events of one day convinced a
young lady of Piety Hill that the i'm
FAINT mind is one Of the most profound
mysteries of nature. 1t was her first
effort with n class of little Sunday
school children, and after talking with
them in her most impressive way for
half an hour she asked her precious
charges what they thought of their
lessons. One little girl with golden
hair and great Blue eyes such as artists
love to reproduce in themes divine i'm
dictated desire to speak.
"What is it, my dcar?"
"Miss Earnest, If you lived to be a
hunred years old you'll never have a
pretticr hat than the one what you got
on now"
The second developed later in the
day. She told the little ones that they
must not let the weeds grow up in
their hearts, for they were the weeds
of sin and worse than death. One fat
cherub who had never known what it
was to be sick set up a howl as soon
as he reached home. Being short on n
knowledge of anatomy he sat holding
his digestive apparatus and declaring
that the weeds growing in his heart
were "aInost KILN him. Ignorant of
the cause of alarm, the terrified parents

who were quickly followed by others
who had not been in when called.
While the others were gravely con.

tracted the story of the Sunday school
lesson and administered dose of
sugar and water. Ten minutes later
the little fellow was telling how near
he came to dying, while he was eating
enough for a harvest hand.-Detroit

OF course it was because Jacob Nuzen.
schmidt had never attended a meeting of the
Hamilton common council that he made the
break that is credited to him. Nearly every

but the day after the new councils first
meeting they laughed harder.
Jacob had seat up toward the front, He
was fat and the desks were further apart
there, that's why he was given the position.
At the beginning of the meeting resolu:

Think Dewey Can manage Things.

Washington, July 15.-It can be
stated positively that no representa-
tions have yet been made to the Ger
man government respecting the ac-
tions of the German naval command
ers in the Philippines. 1t is the opin-
ion of officials of the state department
that Admiral Dewey has so conducted
himself in dealing with the foreign
men-of-war in the Philippines as to
leave no room for suggestion or repre-
sentation on the part of the state de-
partment, and so long as this state of
affairs continues it is not likely that
there will be any interference with
this able officer.

"Well," went on the chocolate girl, "they
told her she couldn't take the baby without
a check, and she'd have to wait till the other
babies were taken away and then she could
have what was left. So she waited for hours
and hours, till all the babies were gone but
one, and when she went to get that-well,
