Washington, Aug. 24.-The mystery
of who blew up the battleship Maine

may be solved before the Spanish get
out Of Cuba. President Mckinley en-
tertains the hope that while the Amer
lean members of the Cuban military
commission are arranging terms of
evacuation OF Havana they may also
be able TO put together in one con-
nected whole the different bits of evil
dence gathered while the court OF in
quiry was at work. Should the COM
missioners be able TO do that which is
expected of them and make a chain of
circumstantial evidence strong enough
to warrant action, the United States
will demand the arrest and detention

rests,
Capt. Gen. Blanco's repeated efforts

the report that Blanco fears the truth

safely ont of Havana before the
expose. When Mai. Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee was last in Washington he held
long conference with the president,
and in the course of it the question of
finding the guilt of those practically
responsible for the war with Spain
was gone over at length. Gen. Lee is
said 10 believe that the truth can be
ascertained and the officials implicated
arrested before SPANS army leaves
Havana.

and Butler will receive positive, but

and all the bits of evidence 10 the pos
session Of the government viii be
placed in their hands with orders TO

would regard as a fitting climax TO
the war the apprehension of the mis-
ereants who sent 300 Americans to
their deaths when they destroyed the

MARSHAtSHIP GIVEN MELTON.
SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS
GIVEN A SURPRISE.

Delegation Before the Attorney Gem
eral TO Endorse State Chairman
Tolbert for the Position When
They Were Informed That Sc
lection Had Been Made-The Dele
CATION Delighted at the Defeat of
Boss Webster's Candidacy.
Washington, March I0.-President Ajcr
kinley sprung a surprise on the South
Carolina colony to-day by appointing Law
son Melton to the marshaIship. Melton
has been here for some time quietly seek
ing an appointment either under the at
torney general or in South Carolina. He
was not supposed TO be running for the
marshalship. and the Palmetto Repubm-
cans are tonight scratching their heads
and wondering how il happened
G-s Washington Murray. accompanied by
George w Reardon. who is an applicant
for the postmastership at Sumter. and S.
r. smith of Aiken, who is one OF Murrly's
coiored lieutenants. called at the depart
ment OF justice early this morning to in
form Attorney General Grggs that all of
the anti-Websterites had united In Indoors
ing State Chairman Tolbert for the mar
shalship Murray was proceeding to en-
tighten the new attorney general on the
subject Of Republican politics in South
Carohna, when he was suddenly checked
IN his eloquent discourse by the attorney
general, who informed the astonisned
South Carolinians that Lawson Melton had
been selected as marshal and the Presi-
dent would probably send his nomination
10 the Senate to-day.
The Murray delegation could not re-
frain from showing their pleasure at the
defeat of Mr. Cunningham, who was Boss
Webster's friend, and they accordingly as
sured the Attorney General that the ap-
pointment OF Mr.. Melton would give gem
eral satisfaction to the Republicans of
South Carolina, who are growing weary of
Boss Webster and his mysterious methods
The Murray delegation then proceeded to
the White House to inform the President
of their acquiescence in the selection of
Mr.. Melton. Murray also took occasion to
tell the President that Boss Webster is a
thorn In the side of nearly all of the prom
inent Republicans In the state, and the
sooner he is relieved from political dicta-
torship, the better it will be for the party.
Murray also said a few kind words for
Mr.. Reardon, in connection with the Sum-
ter postofice.
The defeat of George I. Cunningham is
deeply regretted by many of the Republi-
cans of the state, for, as one of them ex-
prssed it, he is too good man to be sacri-
feed to punish Webster. The revolt against
Webster is more real than imaginary, and
his enemies predict that his influence with
the present administration has been COM
pletely destroyd.
Senator Tillman says he does not believe
there will be any serious opposition to the
confirmation of Mr.. Melton, as he is one of
the most decent white Republicans in the
state.

for mercy was made to the court in his
behalf Then when he was sentenced his
friends took the case to the pardon board
which passed adversely upon 1t to-day.
He will therefore in all probability have

MATTE ROBINsoN's STORY.
says RawIs Made Her Run Away
From Home With Him,


Sylvania, Ga, March 1O.-The white girl.
Matte Robinson. who went away with
the negro, John Rawls, several weeks ago,
and was brought home few days since,
has made a statement of the affair which
Is very different from the one made by
the negro.
She says that she had started for her
sisters house. accompanied by RawIs;
and he compelled her to go with him.
They first went to negro house, where
an old colored woman BACKED her hands
and face with scat, and then she and
RaWfs continued their journey down into
Efingham county, where they were sub
sequently found by the officers. She says
that Rawls told her he had come very
near running away with a white girl in
North Carolina, but killed a man up
there and had to leave.
If the girls statement be true, and is
believed in court, Rawls will, of course, be
IN danger Of his neck. The statement Of
the officer who arrested them however
does not corroborate the girls story He
says that she seemed attached to the ne
gro, and even wanted to kiss him when
they were separated. Rawls Is in iaiI
here, and there seems to be no disposition
TO interfere with a legal Investigation and
tTial of the case.

they were preferred without much found
alton. He does not deny but what he got
behind in his official duties, but that it was
done while visiting lodges in different
parts of the state or attending to his own
private business, and having no one who
he could leave in charge of the grand
chancelor's duties while he was away. A
banquet began at Burners restaurant at
10 O'Clock tonight, in which the grand
officers are being toasted by the local
knights.
Every one here rejoices in the acquittal.
