A Golden Battleship for Dewey.
The Suggestion Made by w. D.
Linton of Wadsworth.
The San Francisco Bulletin saws:

The San Francisco Bulletin says:
Not only have the people of this city
quickly realized the full significance oil
Admiral Dewey's brilliant victory al
Manila, but throughout the State as
well have come evidences OF the sincere
appreciation of the great feat accom-
plished by the American hero. But few
days ago, it will be remembered, gentle
man, who preferred that his identity
should not be disclosed, entered the
olilce OF The Bulletin and deposited So
as the nest egg of a fund for the pur-
chase OF sword for the gallant Ad-
miral, who, by the way, had not then
been promoted to the higher rank. The
movement was quickly taken up by pro-
minent merchants and others.
This morning $5 was received from w.
d. Linton, of the Nevada House, Wads-
worth. New. The following letter accom-
panied the remittance

DEAR SIR-Enclosed please find money

fund for the purchase of present for
Admiral Dewey. Nothing is too good
for him. The people of America should
present him with golden battleship.
Sincerely yours,

Mr.. Linton but voices the sentiments
OF the entire community in Wadsworth,
and this Nevada city can be taken as
criterion of the feeling felt throughout
the entire country. 1t is but fitting that
the great victory gained by Admiral
Dewey in the first battle of the rev
American navy should be acknowledged
by grateful and justly proud nation.

spection of the world should at least be
grammatical and diplomatic"
The speakers lieutenants to-day have held
out to their colleagues the assurance that
action should be had at every subsequent
stage of the proceedings with dispatch, and
that the resolutions would go to the Presi-
dent finally agreed on before Wednesday
morning. But those who view the situation
dispassionately do not believe that such ex-
petition is possible. There is strong inti-
nation that delay is what is desired by
those opposed to war in the hope of some
action by the Spanish Cortes. A. hope is ex-
pressed that Mr. Hit, chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, who has been
quite i'll, but who is much better, will be
able to be in his place tomorrow. In that
case he will be in charge the floor, and
he, Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Dinsmore, of
Arkansas the senior of the minority of the
committee. will be appointed conferees on
the part Of the House. If Mr.. Hit is not
able to be present Mr.. Adams and Mr.
Quigg will be the Republican conferees
Both are in thorough sympathy with Speak
er Reed and the administration.
The motion to be made tomorrow will of
course, be antagonized by plain motion
to concur. The latter motion would take
would have to be voted upon first, but
Speaker Reed has already held this session
that a motion to concur with an amend
merit, takes precedence over motion to
concur. 1t is very desirable. from a
strategic point of view, that the first vote
to be taken shall be on the proposition of
the Republican leaders, and therefore the
strong probability is that this will be the
motion. The debate probably will not be
long, possibly two hours, and If necessary
a special rule will be brought in to cut off
embarrassing amendments and motions.
If the resolutions should result in war the
revenue measure agreed On by the Repub-
lcans of the ways and means committee
VIII be presented at once The army reor-
gsnization bill as modified, also, will be
passed as soon as opportunity offers. The
opposition to the modified measure from
the national guard has been withdrawn.
There are contested election cases and other
minor matters to fill up whatever of time
remains during the week in the House.

COLUMBUS, Ind, April 17.-Sheriff Cox,
of the Bartholomew county JAIL was hood
winked Friday night by a clever prisoner,
but the fact did not become public until
tonight. Charles Spragg. prisoner, made
his escape by his wits He complained of
the dirty condition of his quarters, and
asked for broom. which was given him.
He swept UP a pile of rubbish, and then
demanded tub to place it in. Sheriff Cox
complied with the request. Spragg then
kindly offered to carry the tub to the trash
heap. Sheriff Cox complied. To hold the
debris in the tub he covered it with his
blanket. When he left the Jail and reached
the yard he found a ladder, with which he
reached the top of the wall. Then he made
a rope of his blanket and reached the
ground. He has not been seen since.
Sherin Cox waited few minutes, and then
called for the prisoner. There was no an
swer, and he began a search. which SO far
mas been unsuccessful. The police of other
cities have been notified. The sheriff says
he Will have the escaped prisoner, no mat
ter what it costs him. Spragg was SEN
fenced on a petty offense, and would have
been liberated in ,thirty-five days.

WAR FEVER RAGING.
Firmness of the Cabinet Has Made
the Spanish BellicOsc.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times, telegraphing Fri
day says: Throughout its recent negotia-
tons with the United States with reference
to Cuba the Spanish government has never
taken a firmer stand than at yesterdays
council. If President Mckinley. by issuing
his last message, has set his seal on his
country's claim to intervene in Cuba, so do
the Spanish ministers respond by finally
setting their seal on this country's fiat re-
lection of that claim. The nature of the in
tervention appears to be immaterial. 1t
is the principle which the Spanish govern
ment row pledge themselves to resist to
the utmost The drastic decisions of the
council are taken by the public at what will
probably prove their true value
THE war fever has been raging many
hours. One newspaper alone thinks peace
family possible. Some people, trusting to
vague kilograms from Havana, indulge
hope that the insurgent leaders, fearing
American annexation, will voluntarily come
to terms with the autonomous government,
and that this may make President Mckinley
pause, but no definite information has yet
been received in that sense. There Is
semi-panic on the bourse. Stocks are fall
ing badly. and evidences of grave situa"
ton are heard and felt in all directions. Bu'
in spite of this. the government and tn
governed are pulling well together, and pro-
Tess themselves ready to confront what
seems inevitable.

The Feeling in Official Circles at Mad
rid-POwers May Fake Action.

LONDON, April 1S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times. telegraphing Sun
day, says: lin official circles to-day there
is an impression that a rupture of negotia
tons may not take place quite SO soon as
was expected two days ago. but it cannot
be said that the prospects of q peaceful so
luton are much improved Among the lead
ing representatives Of all parties there is an
almost unanimous opinion that the United
States will accept nothing less than the
termination of Spanish sovereignty in Gu
ba, and, any concession of that kind is
considered utterly Incompatible with ma
tional honor war seems inevitable, unless
some unknown Deus ex maehina should
suddenly intervene.
"A Few sanguine people imagine that Eu-
rope may possibly awake at the last mo-
ment to the dangers of aggressive pam
Americanism and recognize in Spain the
champion Of the vital European interests
of the future. In that case the Deus ex
machina would naturally take the form OF
collective Intervention by the great powers,
but such illusions arc not INDUCED in by
practical statesmen, nor do those latter at
tribute very much importance to the per-
sistent rumors of the likelihood of the in
surgents making terms with the autono-
nous government in order to avert annex
alton by America.
ut is no doubt probable that the insur-
gents were disagreeaby surprised by the
terms of President McEinley'S message,
which vetoes their independence aspirations,
and those who know personally the two
most influential leaders, Calixto Garcia and
Maxine Gomez. believe the former would
not be nsensible to the call of Spanish
patriotism But Gomez is regarded as i'm
perviouS to such. an influence, and 1t Is
clearly perceived that the American annex
ationists could easily counterfeit any such
tendencies to Cancellation. Nowhere can
perceive any indication of a peaceful sou-
ticn acceptable to both parties General

ed to be most anxious to avoid a conflict,
and still to be not without hope, but Off
cially he remains absolutely quiescent. The
patience of the country at large is rapidly
exhausting itself to judge by kilograms
from the provinces and more or less eX
pansive demonstrations of the popular feel
ing are taking place in many cities.

ATTITUDE or SENATORS.
Majority Will Attempt to Force thc
House to Come to Terms.

WASHINGTON, April IA majority
of the senate will give very little attention
to any other subject until the Cuban ques-
ton is finally disposed of in Congress That
body having acted on the resolutions of In
dependence and intervention, the question
is not now properly before 1t, but there is
such intense interest that senators will con-
tinue to give it their individual attention
until All adjustment with the House is Sc
cured The supporters of the Senate form
of expression are very hopeful that public
sentiment will compel the House to accept
the Senate declaration, but they know that
the influential conservative element is
against them, and they realize that they
may be disappointed in the action of the
House. In that event they are prepared to
stand out against surrender on the part of
the Senate. How long this determination
will hold remains to be developed, but the
advocates of the recognition Of Cuban in
dependence refuse to be convinced that any
other course than its recognition is tenabe.
They decline to even discuss terms of any
compromise short of the Senates action OH
this point Whether they would hold to
this if they should find the House equally
determined is not certain, in view of the
pressure for action. Still many of the most
radical pro-Cubans say that insufficient &C
ton is no better than no action at all.
On tho other hand. there is an element in
the Senate OF respectable proportions which
favors the House resolutions over those of
the Senate and whose influence will he con-
stanty exerted in the Senate against that
bodys declaration. The outspoken
senators who hold this view are the twenty
one who voted against the resolutions as
amended, and there are probably a dozen
more who voted for the declaration as a
whole who not at heart favorable to it,
and who would not be greatly disappointed
at finding an opportunity to modify the
Senate's position. Thus it is that while the
sentiment in the Senate il not yet sufti-
GENTLY crystalliZed to Justify positive pre-
diction, there is enough difference of opin-
ion to present an Interesting situation if
the House should fail to indorse the Sen
ate's action.
Aside from the Cuban question. the Sen
ate probably will devote itself largely dur
ing the week TO the appropriation bills. The
sundry civil has been only partially con-
sidered. and the naval bill is on the calendar
awaiting action. There are many disputed
points in both bills.

MRS. OSCAR WILDE DEAD.
Not Her Husband, as Reported Last
Week-An Accomplished Woman.

LONDON, April 1.-THE report, published
in several American newspapers, that Os-
car Wilde had died at the Riviera is untrue.
1T was Mrs. Oscar who passed away at that
place.
Constance Lloyd was the maitlen name
of Mrs. Oscar Wilde. She was of Irish ex-
traction, and at the death of her father, a
lawyer, she inherited large sum of money.
She has been described as being exceedingly
pretty Of graceful figure and dainty feat
ure. She married Oscar Wilde about seven
teen years ago, and until the scandal which
wrecked her husbands life and caused his
condemnation to two years imprisonment,
she adopted the esthetic ideas of the author,
even so far dress was concerned, her
costumes being widely described in the fash
ion journals Her home in lite street,
Cheltenham. Chelsea. London. was fitted
up in admirable taste, and her receptions
were at one time attended by some of the
most noted men in literature and art. Mrs.
Wilde had two children, both boys. Cyril.
born in 1885. and Vivian. born in 1886. Inn
mediately after the arrest of Oscar Wilde
his wife took her children from their resi-
dence and instructed her lawyer to insti-
tute proceedings for a divorce, which was
done.
