Meeting In tho Texas CITY.

DALLAS. Tex, Feb. 27.-One of the largest
mass meetings ever held in Dallas met in the
auditorium of tho City Hall to-day to consider
the destruction of the battleship Maine and tho
situation OF Cuban affairs. Speeches were made
by a dozen leading men and letters and tele-
grams were read. The American. the Cuban.
and the old Texas republic flags were draped In
mourning. The meeting was held under Il call
OF tho Cuban independence League. but was
strictly q citizens meeting. Mayor Barry pre-
sided and was one of the speakers. He particlpa.
ted as u citizenland not as an official. The Dead
March in Saul was played for the victims OF
the Maine disaster. and among tho hymns and
songs sung were Nearer, My God. to Thee"
America. -" the Star Spangled Banner, and
"Columbia the Gem OF the Ocean"
Every speaker denounced Spain, not only for
the loss OF the Maine but because of her bar
barous course toward Cuba. The audience was
intensely warlike in spirit, and nearly a thou.
sand men rose to their feet when the question
was asked:

Resolutions were adopted declaring It to be
the sense OF the meeting that war with Spain
should follow a decision by tho Board Of Naval

side agency OF a treacherous character; and also
that the Government should at once accord bel
hgerent rights to the Cuban patriots.

THE President At CHURCH.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-President Mckinley,
accompanied by Miss Barber, attended the SER
vices this morning at tho Metropolitan NJ. +.
Church. Tho Rcv. DIR. johnson, the ppstor of
tho church. preached a sermon on the Maine
disaster and tho relations OF the United States
with Spain. His text was My Soul Thirsteth
for God, for the Living God, and he attributed
tho desire Of the country that war bo declared
to a "rcstlessness without God" Ho strongly
commended tho course Of the President, and
said that he was justified In using every meas
ure consistent with an honorable course to pre-
vent q war with Spain or any other country. He
advised that the American people be patient.
President Mckinley, he said, WAS capable: he
balanced mind. He and his advisors were care
fully examining the question Of responsibility
for the disaster to the Maine, and until they do
cided the cause 1t was unbocoming of the people
to clamor for war. War was a horrible thing.
and only to be resorted to in the last extremity.
Even IL 1t should be found that Spain was di.
rectly responsible and that the ship had boen do
stroyed by diabolical treachery, IL would not
moan that war WAS absolutely necessary. There
were other methods Of settling the case without
an appeal to arms. DR.. johnson deplorcd tho
loss OF the vessel and Its men. and said 1t was
OF war. President Mckinley listened, as usual,
with his face imrassivo and his head bowed
down the greater part Of the time.

MADRID. Feb. 27.-The impartial publishes
an interview with Senior Sagasta, in which tho
Prime Minister says:
mo Spanish Government would dream of
submitting to arbitration the indisputable
rights of our sovereignty. or of admitting for
eign intrusion in the internal affairs of Spain.
This can never be proposed or listened to.
The Government will reject every act tend
ing to cast tho slightest shade upon the indis-
putable sovereignty of the nation or to diminish
its liberty of action in any territory over which
the Spanish flag floats"
The Correspondence Militar declares that
the consensus Of opinion is that war between
Spain and the United States will break out in
April.
Tho Impartial prints a despatch from Lon
don which purports to give the substance Of an
interview with Prince Bismarck. on which
Prime Minister Sagasta's remarks were founded.
Prince Bismarck is represented as saying that
the Cuban question ought to be submitted to
the arbitration of the Pope, though he would
hardly expect the United States. as a Protestant
nation. to accept his Holiness as arbitrator.
Senior Sagasta said he was astonished that
such an idea should emanate from Prince Bis
marck. adding that he could only account for 1t
on the ground Of the Princes supreme ignorance
of the situation.
Tho Archbishop OF valladolidh has issued q pas
toral letter in which he blames tho United
States for prolonging the war in Cuba. and ex-
horts all true Spaniards to unite in defending
the rights and honor of the nation.

of beans caused by the demand from Klondike
outftters has worked hardship to d. Dierson, a
Sacramento merchant who, last year. contracted
to supply tho Folsom State Prison with bayo
beans at S1.57 per hundred pounds. These
beans have all been gathered in for the Klondike
trade and Dierson yesterday presented a pitiful
plea to be released from the contract. as beans
are scarce at SO. 25 per hundred pounds. Prison
Commissioners expressed sympathy for Dierson,
but told him he would have to supply beans.
