As to the statement of Mr.. Caldwell
that the Governor assured him that he
would not accept mis- resignation ii
placed upon his table; the facts are that
the Governor said to him that if he
had waived all questions as to his orig
inal letter being a resignation in law,
he would not have accepted it nor de-
clined it. but would simply have held
il for consideration.
1t is expected. by those close 20 the
Governor. that he will at once proceed to
appoint a successor to Mr.. Caldwell,
and that Prof. John Graham, of War
rem county. will be the man chosen.
This done it is expected that Caldwell
will refuse to vacate and quo warrantu
will at once be commenced
to compel him to do so.
1T was reported that Mr. John ~.
Sims, chief clerk in the Auditors office,
might be the man. but he pleads ig-
norance of any such intention on the
Governors part He said last night
that such thing had never been in
tinated to him by the Governor, and
that Mr.. Graham's name was the only
one he had ever heard mentioned in
connection with the position.

severe one, calculated to test the various
qualities OF touch anu technic which

Forward Magazine Of the Maine
Did Not Blow UP First,

HAVANA, Feb. 20.-Lieutenant-
Commander Barnett of the survey boat
Bache said to correspondent of the
Associated Press to-day:
You want the facts. / can tell you
there are ninety-five chances out of a
hundred that the investigation will
show. that the forward magazine of the
Maine did not blow up first, if it ex-
pIoded at all. and that it was not the
cause of the terrific consequences that
followed. The condition of the wreck
when first studied and later careful
scrutiny, makes this an almost absolute
certainty"
Chaplain Chadwick has recovered
considerable sums of money with let
tiers and other personal property from
the bodies taken from the wreck. In
one case the initials can be seen on the
coat lining and may serve to identify
the body of the wearer, but the harbor
water is so filthy that the marks are
nearly illegible.

WAS NOT A VETERAN,
A Grand Army Man Who Never
Took Part in the War.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.--David Burnham.
who for nearly twenty years has been a
leading member of his local post of the
Grand Army of the Republic and a re-
spected citizen of Elgin. H.. confessed
to-day that he had no right to be called
veteran, and that he never had taken
any part in the civil war
Burnham was a prisoner before
United States Commissioner Humphrey
on a charge of attempting TO defraud
the Government by his application for n
pension as an old soldier. when he made
his confession. He was held to the
Federal Grand Jury in bail of S1,500, and
being unable to secure bondsmen was
sent to the County Jail.
Burnham was arrested on informa-
ton furnished by Special Pension Ex-
aminer j. Fl. Stibbs. He has been en-
ployed in the Elgin Watch Factory for
nearly a quarter of a century and is
one of the original organizers of the
G. A. r. post at that place. He held
number of prominent offices in the or
ganiZation, and none of his acquaint-
ances doubted that he had served in the
civil war.
Under the pressure of his friends
Burnham applied for a pension last Sep
TENDER. and it was this fact that is said
to have caused his downfall. The mat
ter was placed in the hands of Examiner
Stbbs for investigation, and the latter
says he learned a short time ago from
the records that the applicant never had
been in the service, and that he was
attempting to secure a pension by rep
senting himself as being another per-

CONGOSTO'S BOAST.
Says He Will Buy Up Members Of
the Cuban Junta.

HAVANA, Feb. 2O-Senor Jose Con-
gosto, the Secretary General, Is said to
have asserted in a private interview
that the Government expected to be
able to buy up several members OF
the New York Junta." 1t is generally
believed, however, that the statement
was made to quiet discomfort here,
arising from the military failures of
General Blanco and General Pando in
the east.
Sonora Isabella Rubia, owner of
many tobacco estates in the eastern
part of the island and an active insur-
gent, has been captured by the Spanish
in the province of Pinar del Rio, and
is now in the hospital. AT the time
of the Maceo incursion she induced half
the province to join the insurgent cause.
She accompanied one of the origina.
Maceo expeditions to Cuba, then left
the island, and after a time returned
with an expedition from Key West.
Rumors have reached here Of the
landing of an important expedition nea-
the River Mariana, this province, but
as yet the name of the vessel or that
of the leader of the party is undis-
closed.
