Madrid, March 29.-The semi-officiaI
FL Liberal says: THE report on the
Maine contains no grave statement
therefore President Mckinley will not
use that pretext for declaring war, but
will use the relief of the Cubans"
FL Liberal adds: I'VE believe the
Spanish government will never tolerate
a foreign nation. in the guise of phi
lanthropy, invading our territory, for it
would be followed by a, unanimous pro-
test of the Spanish people,
The same paper then counseIs Spain
to prepare to repel any kind of inter
vention-to be uncompromisihg, and to
accept nothing affecting the dignity
nor sovereignty of Spain.''
The impartial independently says it
notes a change of attitude upon the
part of the United States,'' expresses
the belief that when the six Spanish
cruisers and torpedo boats arrive in
Havana harbor, the relations between
the two countries will improve and
hopes that the Spanish government will
''act on these lines"
Great enthusiasm is manifested here
in connection with the performances at
the royal theater, to raise funds by ma
tional subscription to increase the
strength of the navy. Seats are selling
at fabulous prices.

KANSAS CALLED ON.
Large Hotchkiss Cannon Shipped
From Ft. LeavenwOrth to the
Maryland Coast.

Ieavenworth, March 29.-The cam
mandant at Fort Leavenworth re-
ceived a telegram yesterday afternoon
to ship the large Hotchkiss revolving
cannon at the post to Fort McHenry,
Maryland
Within a very brief time after the re-
ceipt of the order the cannon was load
ed on a Missouri Pacific fiat car last
night and left the city on it's long jour
ney to the eastern coast.
While this gun has been at the post
for some years it is a thoroughly mod
ern weapon, the five barrels alone
weighing one thousand pounds, throw
ing a shell ten inches long.
1t has a range of several miles and in
case of emergency can be operated by
two men. The number of shots to be
fred can be regulated from a very slow
to a very rapid fire.

He KEEPS ON TALKING.
Chauncey Depew is Shocked by the
Truth Regarding the Maine.


New York, March 29-Chauncey NJ.
Depew who, while the cause of the
blowing up of the Maine was in doubt
leaned toward the accident theory, says
concerning the report of the court of
inquiry:
1T was a shock to me to learn that
the Maine was blown up by a mine and
it also is a relief to know that it was
not due to the carelessnesS of our men
or to the construction of the ship.
The report was shock to me, be-
cause, though it fixed no responsibility,
it was unquestiOna bly, the duty of the
Spanish government to place a vessel
of a foreign navy on a friendly visit
to her harbOr in a place free from
mines. While it is inconceivable that
any responsible Spanish official could
do so foolish an act and one which
sponsibilities. still it was the plain duty
of Spain to indicate a place of safety.
Failing in that. the liability of Spain
for indemnity for the loss of the ship
and crew is perfectly plain.
president Mckinley has conducted
this affair with great prudence. dis
cernment and wisdom. He is a, position
to solve the question of peace or war.
The solution may safely be left in his
hands. 1 think congress should clOthe
him with full power. He has accomp-
feed the people brought within the
Spanish lines by their war policy. IN
less the Spanish government had made
up its mind to accede to the whole Of
Mr.. McKinley'S programme it would
not have yielded this point, which is a
confession of its own inability to keep
the people from starvation"

Big Four, leaving Bloomington for In
dianapOlis at $40 a. m, went through
a bridge at Kickapoo creek, three miles

No one was killed outright. An old
lady named Adams, home not known,
was the worst hurt. She is injured in
ternally and may die. The bridge did
not go down. The accident was caused
by the floods throwing the track out of
line Nearly every person aboard was
cut wrenched or bruised. The worst
hurt were taken to a farm house Ev-

England's Poet Laureate is Wooing
Us With Verse.

London. March 29.-Au the morning
papers give prominence to a poem by
Alfred Austin, the poet laureate which
appears under a brief extract from a
New York dispatch recording a feeling
in favor of an AnglO-American intente.
The poem is as follows:
what is the voice I hear
"On the winds of the western sea?
Sentinel listen from out Cape Clear
And say what the voice may be.
''Tis a proud, free people calling loud
ITO a people proud and free
And it says to them: 'Kinsmen, hail
I'VE severed have been too long.
''Now let US have done with a worn out
tale
1.-THE tale of an ancient wrong
And our friendship last long as love
doth last,
''And be stronger than death is strong"
Answer them, songs of the seIf-same
And blood of the self-same clan,
Let US speak with each other face to
face,
And answer as man to man;
And loyalty love and trust each other,
AS none but freemen can.
Now fling them out to the breeze,
Shamrock, thistle and rose;
And the star-spangled banner unfurI
with these
A message to friends and foes
Wherever the sails of peace are seen,
And wherever the war wind blows.
"a message to bond and thran to
wake,
For, whenever we can, we twain
The throne of the tyrant shall rock and
quake;
And his menace be void and vain.
For you are lords of a strong, young
land,
And we are lords of the main.
Eyes, this is the voice on the bluff
March gale
We severed have been too long,
But now we have done with a WORKOUT
tale
The tale of an ancient wrong;
And our friendship last long as love
doth last,
And be stronger than death is
strong'

SECRETARY ALeER's APOLOGY.
He Says the President Can Take Only
One Step at Time.

Washington, March 29.-At the close
of the cabinet meeting today Secretary
Alger gave out the following state
ment: 80 far as there being any diff
ference of opinion among the members
OF the cabinet. they are ali in hearty
accord with the president. When he
read to them yesterday his message on
the Maine there was not a dissenting
voice nor a suggestion of change. 1t
commanded the approval of every mem
Der. How could the president have said
more? He gave congress the report at
once and stated that he had forwarded
it to Spain and is awaiting her reply.
He must take one step at a time. 1t
may be said further that there need be
no fear that he will not take the next.
He has not lost a moment in present
ing not only the Maine incident, but
the whole situation to Spain. The coun-
try can well afford to await the result
of the negotiations which will be
promptly made known, whatever the
RESULT
