In the Catholic churches yesterday was the first Sunday of the ecclesiastical year and the first day of the advent season.
 This season, as its name indicates, is a time for the preparation for the Advent, or coming of Christ. As a part of this preparation, the church, from time imme- morial, has prescribed fasting for all the Fridays of the season, leaving to the diff ferent local authorities and pastors the adoption of such other spiritual observ- ances as they may deem conducive to the celebration, in faith and devotion, of the solemnity of Christmas

WAS IT EXTERNAL?
Maine Explosion Inquiry Pointing
to That Conclusion.
SEC. LONG TALKS UNOFFICIALLY
Foreign Relations Committee May
Recommend the Joint
Resolution.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The Her.
craps:
Though no official information has
been received from the court of inquiry
as to the character of the evidence 1t
has obtained, and though none is ex-
pected until the final report is prepar-
ed, the belief in Administration circles
that the Maine was destroyed by an
external explosion continues to gain
strength.
The dispatch from Havana indicat-
ing that the Names back was broken
by the explosion, the keel being found
in two pieces, the nearest ends Of
which are separated by distance OF
from two and half to three feet, has
tended to strengthen the conviction
that the ship was not destroyed by an
internal accident.
No official information as to this dis
covery has yet been received, but when
taken in connection with testimony as
to the finding of the keel plates from
the double bottoms on top the wreck
age it is regarded as the strongest evil
dence that the primary explosion
| which destroyed the ship came from
below her keel, though some of the
powder in her magazines may have
subsequently exploded and still further
| wrecked her.

One Man Says So Day at the Sound
Better Than So at Skagway.
NANAIMO, (B. CO., February 2S.-'
The steamer Oregon arrived at Depar-
ture Bay this afternoon with several
passengers, among them being DR.. G.
B. Estes of Astoria, Or. DR.. Estes says
there are many cases Of cerebro spinal
meningitis at Skagway. This is caused
by the cold winds from the mountains
coming in contact with the sea breeze.
The "a hours previous to the sailing Of
the steamer II deaths occurred. The
doctor says the disease is confined to
people between 20 and 35 years years.
The people returning on the steamer
are disgusted with Skagway, which is
controlled by 200 gamblers. One of the
Oregons passengers is H. Butt of Du-
buque, Ia, who is returning home from
the summit. He sold out for S160, hav-
ing spent $500 in transportation. He re-
ports 20 feet of snow on the summit,
and the weather so bad that the miners
cannot proceed. Another man from
the Sound says So a day there is better
than S. at Skagway, and advises all to
stay away.

Submarine Mine Theory

HAVANA, March 2.-Without add
ing unnecessarily to the flood of sur
misses, conjectures and prophecies con-
cerning the finding of the Court of In
quiry, it is fair to say that, as matter
of fact, most of the naval officers here
and at Key West incline to the opinion
ter to the Maine was caused by the ex-
plosion of a floating submarine mine
under the port side of the ship, for
ward. Opinions differ as to whether
the mine was made Of high explosives
such as wet and dry cotton, or ordi
nary gunpowder.

Says He Knows Nothing of Mines In

MADRID, March General Weyler
denied having any knowledge of mines
in Havana harbor in the following lam
guage today:
Il deny most emphatically there be-
ing any foundation whatever for the
reports published in the American
press that I placed any mines or tor
pedoes in the harbor of Havana Nor
did I withdraw any papers relating to
such plans, none existing. 1t is totally
absurd that any one knowing the
Spanish military organization should
give credit to such foolish idea. My
defensive preparations were confined to
mounting large caliber artillery in such
a manner as seemed to me fully to pro-
tect the harbor.
"Any other version of the mines and
so forth is calumny too foolish for peo-
pie to believe"

WASHINGTON, March 3.-For the
first time since the adoption of rules
in Congress, have speakers been de-
MED the right to discuss the affairs of
this country when in committee of the
whole upon state function. Secretary
Long, through his friends, says that
his remarks were personal and not OFF,
cial When Bayard claimed exemption
from his Edinburg speech and his Lon
don utterances as his personal express
sions and not those of the Ambassador,
the House of Congress informed him
that there was no way by which such a
decree of divorce between his personal
blunders and his official dignity could
he had.
The present House has the same to
say of Long. 1t is stated that it was but
mistake on the part of the Secretary.
More than $20,00O,000 seems to have
been made upon the stock exchange as
result of the attitude of the Secre-
tary.

would do him good. He made the trip
accompanied by his wife and fve-year-
old daughter.
At San Francisco physicians advised
him that he was suffering from nery-
Gus exhaustion and he underwent a
course of treatment calculated to bene-
fit him. He grew worse, and, as stated,
made an attempt on his life. Four
months ago he was removed TO Liver

1t was known that he had wanted to
kill himself, but his improvement had
been so marked that latterly no gem

with the announcement that he was
going for walk, as he felt that he
needed exercise. He went directly to
the Southern Pacific depot, where the

in switching some loaded cars. Mr..
