tons, built in 1896, is also a very fast and efficient cutter, but not likely to be taken from her station. The off cers of the Revenue Marine number 36 captains, one-half of whom have pass ed the age where active duty should cease; 36 first heutenants, 33 second ieutenants, one-third of whom are practically retired; third lieutenants and 10 cadets. The engineer officers include 25 chief engineers, 21 first as S1stant engineers and 9 second aSsiS- tantS. The present armament, consist ing mainly of Hotchkiss and smaller machine guns, could no doubt be in- creased on some of the cutters to f. inch quick-firing guns, as all the ves- sels are built sufficiently stroug 10 carry gunboat armaments.
 The other branch of the Government property on water convertible into aux Hilary naval vessels is the fleet of the Lighthouse Establishment, which com priSeS 39 vessels of all classes Many of these would be useless for war pur- poses. and the following list includes only such as may be considered availA able: Armeria, 1052 tons; Azalea, 42& tons; Laurel, 320 tons: MadrOno, 412 tons; Manzanita, 450 tons; Mangrove, 393 tons. and Wisteria and Zizania, each of 450 tons. These iron or steel propellers range in speed from 14 to Il knots; they are by virtue of the ser vice required very strongly built, and could be fitted with a four or five inch pivot forward without much trouble their general build and arrangement favoring such an armament Thus the Revenue Marine and Lighthouse Els tablishment may furnish 29 vessels to the naval defense, the only difficulty in the way being lack of guns other than Hotchkiss.

into effect government over which the mother country would exercise q most limited authority. It is described as something half way between au- tonomy and suzerainty.
 It was also definitely stated at this interview that the purchase by Cuban insurgents of their independence was out of the question. Spain would never consider the hauling down of her flag by peaceful means. Spanish honor could not entertain for a moment the payment of money for Cuba. This subject was fully gone into, because the plan of eminent financiers to lend Cuban insurgents $200, ,0o0, ,000 to buy their independence and to guarantee the Spanish Cuban war debt has been completed. It is stated on good author ity that Henry W. Cannon and Colonel Paine of New York came here yester- day with this information. The Span ish Minister said no proposition of the kind could ever be entertained by Spain. That ended the plan of the financiers and MT. Cannon and Colonel Paine have gone home.
 Minister Barnabe could hold out no promise as to how soon the new plan could be expected to end the trouble in Cuba, nor have any satisfactory as- surances that the insurgents would be pleased with this any more than with autonomy. It was all rainbow prom iSes.
 When the representations of the Spanish Minister were conveyed to the President they seemed to impress him. In the face of the disquieting news from Madrid and other European capi-

special pispateh to The can.

PHILADELPHIA, March 27.-The cruiser Columbia will leave League Is- land Navy Yard tomorrow at about noon for Hampton Roads. She finished loading ammunition at 5 o'clock this afternoon, after which her pilots were taken aboard.
 Notwithstanding rain fell for the greater part of the day there was no cessation in the activity at this station. Calkers were busy putting the finish ing touches to the decks of the Minne- apolis, a few remaining stores were placed aboard and the paint was scrap ed from her torpedo ports. The heads for the Whitehead torpedo were greas ed and fitted in the tubes. To-day's work was confined to the machinery and inside painting of floors.
 The double -turreted monitor Mianto- nomah has all her ammunition on board, and as soon as her men have given her a coating of lead-colored paint she will be ready to sail This was to have been done to-day, but rain prevented it.
 The Minneapolis and the ram Katah din will receive ammunition tomorrow morning. and the former also will get about 200 tons of coal.
 } All the vessels are short number of men. The Columbia will sail with her complement lacking about 100 men. The Minneapolis is also short about that number, and the ram is about 20 short Fourteen men arrived to-day and were assigned to the ships. Both the Minneapolis and the Miantonomah will be ready to depart on Wednesday at the latest.
 Captain Casey and another naval officer visited all the ships, and imme- diately after leaving increased activ- ity was noticed aboard. This was taken as an indication that additional orders had been received from Washington to hurry the work and have the Minneap- olis and Miantonomah ready for sail in at an earlier time.

 Washington, March 27.
 The important event of the week in the Senate will be the receipt of the Presidents message transmitting the report of the Maine Court of Inquiry, which is expected early in the day on Monday. The present understanding is that the report will be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and sent to the printer without being re I. or more than incidentally re- ferred to, and that after this nothing more will be said concerning it until the committee shall have had a req sonable opportunity to consider it, or until some further communication may be received from the President on the Cuban question.
 There has been a general appeal from the administration to the Senate to avoid undue agitation on the Cuban subject until the President may have an opportunity to formulate the policy, and the Senate appears quite disposed to comply with the. request. Stlll there Is no doubt that the Senate would grow very restive under delay. Senator Money expects to make speech to- morrow on the lines of those of Sena- tor Proctor, GaIlinger and Thurston, based upon his observations in CuDa-
 What further discussion there may be on the Cuban situation will depend so largely upon future developments that 1t is useless to discuss the proba- bilities. If the President should make a recommendation or the Committee on Foreign Relations a report the senate at once would be the center of an ami mated discussion, the result or when would be some radical declaration against Spain. The problem is now to hold the expression of opinion down to the minimum pending the negotiations of the President and the deliberations

The Council Committee on Health,
the City Health Officer, Clerk O'Brein,
and Mr.. B. F. Rowland, went to the
top of Wheeling hill, yesterday after
noon, for the purpose of selecting
site for the reduction works, in ac-
cordance with the latest action of
Council. After looking over the
ground thoroughly a site was chosen
on the west face of the hill. Just
west of and below the road leading
to the present crematory. and distant
five hundred and fifty feet south Of the
southwest corner of the new city re-
seryoir. Mr. Rowland was well pleas
ed with the selection, and stated that
he would commence work next Mon
day, and would be ready to receive
night soil in one month from that
time. He will use the existing road
for the present, but says he has an
idea OF putting up an incline plane
from Alley @, south of the city prison,
Just as soon as possible, thus saving
long haul up bad grade and over
miserable piece of road on top of the
hill. Although the weather has been
good for a week, the road on the hill
top is in very bad shape for most of
its length, and in places it is mud for
eight or ten inches in depth, and needs
a whole lot of stone badly. The COM
mittee will make a recommendation
that stone from the workhouse be
spread over this road at once.
The committee also discussed the
idea of having the work house gang,
during the coming summer, cut a con-
tinuation of the Eoff street extension,
made in the same way ten years or
more ago. from the intersection of Eoff
and Tenth streets to the location of
the reduction plant, SO as to afford a
direct haul to the plant from all of
East Wheeling and the South Side, via
Eoff street This would be great i'm
provement, as it would save carting
the stuff clear through North Wheel
ing, up the pike and back south along
the top Of the hill, returning the same
way Such road would cost but lit
tie, and would save at least a mile Of
haul for every trip of every cart going
to the works from points south OF

The story given in this issue of the

sons, and thereby a violation of the
game law, shows the utter absurdity
Of some of the laws mot laws, but do
ings) of our Legislature of 1897. The
Code gave the fine to the county school
fund: this amendment of 1897 gives
half of the fine to the informer and
the other half to the officer or person
making the arrest. Now look how
this law can be, and has been, made Of
no effect. One of the participants is
made informer. another the person to
make the arrest, the third one to pay
the fine and Immediately be reimburs-
ed by his co-partners, part of the deer
will pay the justice, and the law made

touching these matters, they should be
reasonable and should be carried out.
On the whole it might be well TO have
no game laws. Game would disap-
pear, but this time and fuss in MAX
ing game laws would be saved and
many might find better employment
than that of hunting.
