A CRISIS IMPENDING.
AMERICANS WARNED TO LEAVE
HAVANA.
INvEsrIa OF THE MAINE Dis
AsTKR IN PROGRESS
Div-r- =, work. hat Nething Dsanits
Learned Yet.

The papers have been full OF theories
this week with regard to the destruc-
ton of the Maine, but as yet no discoy-
cries have been made public which
prove conclusively how the disaster
occurred. The beliefin Spanish treach-
cry, however, is growing. The United
States tender Mangrove arrived at Ha-
yana Monday morning with diving
apparatus and the members of the
court OF inquiry. The proceedings OF
the court have been kept secret and
will not be divulged until decision is
reached. Captain Sigsbce and other
officers of the Maine have already tes-
tilted and their evidence is thought to
be of great Importance.
The discovery of the cause OF the ex-
plosion rests with the divers. The keys
to the magazines were all found in their
place and Capt. Sigsbee's papers were
recovered. Nearly 100 bodies are still
In the wreck but the divers have been
unable to bring many of them to the
surface. An examination of the hull
where the explosion took place IS being
made but the divers will not talk about
their work.
Tuesday, it is alleged, a bag of pow
der in a copper case was taken from the
part OF the battle-ship where the explo-
sion occurred. It was unexploded and
would indicate that, whether or not
the forward magazine exploded, an
important part of 1t remains intact.
The situation is so critical that Consul
General Lee is reported to have warned
all Americans in Havana to go home If

pRoTEcr our MAIL sBRvIcB.

An organized revolt against the east
ern bidders for Hevada's mail routes
has been commenced. Sub-contractors
who have found it almost impossible to
make ends meet at the prices which
have prevailed for the past four years
cannot sec even a ray OF hope of paying
expenses at the prices for which the
eastern sharks wish to sub-let for the
next four years. During the past four
wears the Star route service for Nevada
has cost the Government 500, 056. 10
oer annum, of which the men who ac-
tually carried the mail received only
800, $50 81, thus leaving snug proht
of "a. B75. 50 for the Eastern bidders
who probably never saw Nevada and
have not a cont at stake. Not satisfied
with this, they have now contracted to
perform the same service for s73, 532. 40,
a cut of s2l, 7O3. 70 or % 100 per cent,
and are offering TO re-let this service at
n nrofit To themselves OF from Is to 30
nor cent. of their bid. All the suckers
arc not dead yet and there may be some
found who viii accept these terms.
This means that whore We have here
tofore had coaches, we must now put
up with buck boards, and where we have
had buck boards the mails must now be
carried on horseback. There can be
only one result, however, and that will
be loss to the sub-contractors; loss to
the men who furnish them with sup
plies, and loss In service to everybody
living along the routes, all that few
men back in Kentucky and Missouri can
make few dollars without turning
their hands over.
Now Is the time to call halt. The
Government should get away, from sys-
tenn that is discreditable to it and injur.
iOus TO the people. However, the sys-
tenn is protected by law and the only
way that we can protect ourselves is to
teach these eastern bidders q lesson
which they win feel in their tenderest
spot-.heir pocket books, making them
pay living price for the service or
come and perform it themselves. To
this end tho following resolution is be-
ing circulated for signatures in all parts
Of Nevada:
rye, tho undersigned business men,
mail carriers and citizens do pledge our
selves to demand from said non-resi-
dent bidders for the performance of
said mail service from July /, 1898 to
July l, 1902 according to Postofiiee
department advertisement of Sept. 10,
1897 such compensation as tho United
States Government is now paying for
such service, and We denounce, discour.
age and refuse to aid or assist any par
~ or parties who may undertake to
perfof M said service on any routes in
the State OF Nevada for less than such
compensation as above stated.
Every patriotic citizen of Nevada
should sign this agreement and sign 1t
with the firm resolve to do all in his
power TO make 1t effective.
