NEWS TO BE WITHHELD.

Washington. April 15.-Gradually the
lines are Tightening around the news
centers Of the navy department. Some
time ago Captain Crowinshield, chief OF
the bureau of navigation, issued an or
der forbidding any of the employees OF
his bureau giving out news except on
permission from him. This did not in
terfere with the posting of the move
ments of the ships Thursday. However.
the officials gave notice that hereafter
no more information would be given to
the public respecting the arrival and
departures of vessels from any OF the
United States or foreign ports. This IL
done under explicit orders from Secre-
tary Long, who believes that in times
of a great crisis like the present, when
the navy is likely to be called into active
requisition. the best interests OF the gov
ernment require that no publicity shall
be given to the movements of the ships
composing 1t.

RAISING OF TROOPS.

Washington. April 15.--Major General
Miles, commanding the army. said yes
terday that considerable misapprehen-
sion exists in regard to the raising OF
troops in the event Of war. He thought
the people should understand the situ-
alton more thoroughly than appears to
be the case at present.
"In the event Of the passage Of the
resolution reported by the senate foreign
relations committee" said General Miles.
THE president would have authority to
call into the service OF the government
militia to the number of about 1900
men. The third section of the resolution
directs and empowers the president to
use the entire land and naval forces Of
the United States. and to call into the
actual service Of the United States the
militia of the several states, to such ex-
tent as may be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect"

Madrid. April lB.--At the cabinet coun-
ell Thursday afternoon under the presi-
dency OF the queen regent II was decided
to hasten the reopening of the spanish
parliament. The date for the assembling
Of the cortes was April 25. but parlia-
ment will now be summoned to meet on
Wednesday next. April 90 The queen
kegent signed the decree calling for a
national subscription to increase the
strength Of the Spanish fleet.
Premier Sagasta made a statement on
the subject OF tho recent developments
OF the Cuban situation as affected by
events In Washington. He declared the
situation was very serious and. while
pointing out that "the debates In con-
gress have no legal value" ne deemed 1t
advisable to expedite the reopenlng OF
the cortes ''iu order to allow national
opinion and its representatives to de-
clare the will of the people. and to en-
able the government to act In accord
with the nation"
After the council the ministers reas-
sembled at the ministry for foreign af-
fairs and there discussed the question
OF sending Q note 10 the great powers

Session of the Senate Thursday Jiven
Up to Oratory.
Washington, April 15.-Thursday be-
gan in the senate with the usual as
sembling of enormous crowds and with
large attendance on the floor. The
routine business was transacted with
evident impatience. and Senator Davis
sought the first opportunity to move that
the senate proceeded to the consideration
OF the Intervention resolution. The mo
tion having been adopted, Senator Hoar
sought recognition. but Senator Turner
of Washington. a young. black-mus-
tached statesman from the west, whose
income from his gold mines reaches a
million a year, secured the floor.
Mr.. Turner spoke without notes, and
with great deliberation. He made
bitter attack upon the president for pur-
suing "A weak and puerle course, full
OF evasion and equivocation and hav-
ing for its object the binding of the
American people and the muzzling Of
the American congress" He charged
that the Maine report was held back at

Congress has been cajoled with iri-
descent and evanescent promises that

ropean capitalists have chuckled AZ our
delay and indefinite policy, and the pope

president has been placed I'm a position
where IL is difficult for him to decide
what course to pursue"

VIEWS OF LEE AND sIGsBEE.

Washington, April 15.-The testimony
taken by the senate committee on foreign
relations on the various phases Of the
Cuban question constitutes a book of
about $50 pages and includes not only
the testimony taken since the disaster to
the Maine, but also much that was taken
before, and running back for a year or
more. The statement which contains
the greatest current interest is that,
made by Consul General Lee. who said
regarding the loss of the Maine: Il am
satisfied the explosion was from the out
side. / cabled the state department a
few days after the board assembled that
it was almost certain that the explosion
was from the exterior. 1 have always
had an idea about the Maine that, OF
course, IL was not blown up by any
private individual or by any private
citizen, but It was blown up by some Of
the officers who had charge Of the mines
and electrical wires and torpedoes in the
arsenal there. who thoroughly under
stood their business. for il was done re-
markably well. think the explosion
came from Some of the subaltern officers
who had been there under Weyler, and
who were probably anti Blanco. any
how. and who had full knowledge Of the
business"
Captain Sigsbee, in command OF the
Maine at the time of the disaster. was
examined on March 81. He repeated his
opinion that the Maine was destroyed
by a mine. but in his opinion no larger
than could be planted near the vessel at
any time in broad daylight. and under
direct vision. with the means available
In Havana for that purpose. He thought
IL men. having mutual confidence and
preserving secrecy. could have planted
it, and that 1t could have been done while
the ordinary discipline and watchfulness
was observed on the ship.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

One of the important constitutional
amendments to be voted on at the
coming election is that of equal suf-
frage. The following arguments in
favor of the proposition are but a few
of many that have been handed the
STAR for publication:
The Wyoming House of Representa-
tives of 1893, just before adjournment
passed by a unanimous vote the fol-
lowing concurrent resolution:
Be it resolved by the second legisla-
ture of the state Of Wyoming, That the
possession and exercise of suffrage by
the women in Wyoming for the past
quarter of a century had wrought no
harm and has done great good in many
ways; that it has largely aided in ban
ishing crime, pauperism and vice from
this state, and that without anyviolent
or oppressive legislation; that it has
secured peaceful and orderly elections,
good government and q remarkable de-
gree of civilization and public order;
and we point with pride to the facts
that after nearly twenty-five years of
woman suffrage not one county in
Wyoming has a poor house, that our
jails are almost empty, and crime, ex-
cept that committed by strangers in
the state, almost unknown; and as the
result of experience we urge every civ.
ilized community on earth to enfran-
chise its women without delay.
Resolved, That an authenticated
copy of these resolutions be forwarded
by the governor of the state to the leg
islature of every state and territory in
this country, and to every legislative
body in the world; and that we request
the press throughout the civilized
world to call the attention of their
readers to these resolutions.
Gov. Campbell was in office in 1869
when the woman suffrage law was
passed. Two years later he said, in his
message to the legislature:
It is simply justice to say that the
women, entering for the first time mp
ON these new and untired duties. have
conducted themselves in every respect
with as much tact, sound Judgment,
and good sense as men.
Gov. Thayer, who succeeded Camp
bell, said in his message:
Woman suffrage has now been in
practical operation in our Territory for
six years, and has, during that time,
increased in popularity and in the con-
fdence of the people. In my judg-
ment, its results have been beneficial,
and Its influence favorable to the best
interests Of the community.
Gov. Hale, who succeeded Hoyt, ex-
pressed himself repeatedly to the same
effect.

CAN'T AFFORD IT.

AS a business proposition our PEG:
pie cannot afford to send to congress
two men who tell the world that the
majority of our people are too poor to
pay their taxes, as Congressman
Knowles declares in public a few days
ago. 1t cannot afford to re-elect for
governor a man who introduced a res
olution looking to the bald repudia-
ton of state bonds, on a mere techni-
cality, as Gov. Lee did last summer.
It cannot afford, as a business propo-
sition, to elect a legislature which is
pledged to get the laugh of the whole
country on us by trying state compila-
ton, and publication, and free distri-
button of text books. The next few
years will be important ones for this
state. Let no fatal error be made
next week. In practice it hurts the
reputation of q state to Ego Pop."-Ar-
gus Leader.

A NATTER.

Freeman Knowles made the unblush-
ing statement last Friday night that
he did not owe taxes. The treasurer's
books of Meade county show that he
owes about s2O-not much, but it
might save some poor man of Meade
county $40, IL Knowles would pay up.
He deliberately beat the county out Of
that much. In Lawrence county he
owes s332.49 taxes-always personal
taxes-and then has the audacity to
state that he does not. He always
transferred his claims to beat the
taxes. Another scheme was to carry a
chattel mortgage on the plant which
was held to be a prior lien to taxes.
Thus will be seen that Knowles never
paid taxes but one year and that under
compulsion. He shamelessly boasts of
having beaten the county as he does
of having accepted brides from the
railroads in the shape of passes and
cash.
It's no crime to W taxes, because
many a man is unable to pay them, but
when your own congressman lies about
it-that's a crime-especially when he
draws $1,000 per year of your money
for doing nothing, together with mem
bers of his family as private secretary
at $1,000 additional, and not a cent of
railroad fare to pay.
These Meade county taxes are on the
Tilford Times; the Lawrence county
taxes on the Deadwood Independent,

Bonds for Black aillers-Less Danger

From Dishonesty Than From Fire.
This is why, for a nominal sum, one
can get the very best bond and be in
dependent.
OF INTEREST TO L BLACK HILLS PEOPLE.
Cow many good men have been
brought to grief by signing bonds.
They never think of it after signing
until 1T is too late and they are called
upon to make a deficit. This dreaded
problem is now being avoided by the
good people of the Black Hills.
j. P. Hymer, of Deadwood, is Gener-
al Agent for the United States Fideli-
ty and Guaranty Co., of Baltimore,
Nd, and has power of Attorney to
write bonds in all the Black Hills
counties. The U. S. Govt. and all
Courts accept these bonds in any
amount. Do you expect to be elected
to office? Then write to Mr.. Hymer
and see what low rates he will make
you. It costs but little-from IS to
$40 for a thousand dollar bond backed
by Il million dollar company. Still
lower rates for larger bonds.
Administrators, executors, lodge Off
GERS, treasurers, employees, state and
county officials-in fact if you have
any kind of bond to give, let him make
you prices before you ask your friends
to sign. Appeal, attachment, replevin
and all judicial bonds written on the
spot and no delay. This is of interest
to attorneys. You ask, chow a a re-
liable company runthe risk for SO small
a sum"-just the same way that Insur-
ance companies can run the risk of
giving you a policy for a few dollars.
We claim that there is much more
danger of loss by fire than by an aver
age Black Hills man holding aposition
of trust, becoming dishonest.
Don't place yourselves under obliga-
tions by asking your friends to sign
your bond, when for a paltry sum you
can obtain the very best bond and be
