IN SEALED ZINC CASES.
Bodies of Victims Hereafter RecOv-
cred May BE Sent to This Country.

Bodies of Victims Hereafter RecOv-
cred May he Sent to This Country.
WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-The only news
coming direct from Havana to the Navy
Department during to-day was contained
in the. following dispatch from Captain
Sigsbee: Have succeeded in making ar
rangements by which bodies may be sent to
Key West in Theoretically sealed zinc cases.
Refer to Forsyth for burial in Key West.
Probable that bodies hereafter cannot be
recognized. Probable bodies will not re-
main intact Condition OF bodies requires
immediate action. Jenkins and Merritt may
be recognized by uniform. Can secure
health permit at Key West to land the
bodies there. Divers cannot get down aft
after bodies this morning. Much debris.
Will clear it away. Wainwright placed in
charge of wrecking matters"
The following reply was sent by Secre-
tary Long: Referring to your telegram
of this date send bodies that may hereafter
be recovered to Key West for burial Send
by Bache.'
To the Key West naval station a dispatch
was forwarded by Secretary Long as fol-
lows: "Sigsbee ordered to send bodies that
may hereafter be recovered to Key West
for temporary burial viii arrive in her.
IHellcdlly sealed ZINC cases. make neceS-
sary arrangements. Bodies will arrive by
Bache"
1t is believed at the department that there
are probably in the neighborhood of fifty
bodies rem aiming to be discovered and ex-
tricated from the wreck.
Notwithstanding the repeated explana-
tions by Captain Sigsbee couched in lam
guage as broad as consideration of the feel
ings of relatives of the deceased sailors
would permit, to show that it is practically
impossible to bring the remains of those
victims of the explosion which have al
ready been buried to the United States for
interment, some of the relatives continue
their efforts to overcome his decision. Re-
Gently an application was made through
the friends of Harry j. Keyes, of Indianap-
oils, one of the victims, to the State De-
partment for permission to have Keyes'S
remains brought to the United States. The
man had already been inferred for several
days. his body being among the first to be
recovered. The request was referred to
Consul General Lee, who has just replied to
the State Department that the Spanish law
forbdS the eXhumation of dead bodies. This
legal obstacle in addition to the other seri-
Gus objections that have been made to the
removal of the bodies, such as the danger
of bringing contagion into the country the
impoSsiblity of accurately Identifying the
remains and other reasons will probably be
sufficient, it is thought, to deter the prose-
cution of further applications of this kind.

Sees No Prospect of War.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The Pail Mall Gazette
this afternoon says: I'm spite of all man
ner of reports, we cannot for the life of us
see any immediate prospect of war between
Spain and the United States. There is alb
solutely no evidence that anything but an
accident occurred. Even those who stick
TO the torpedo explanation chiefly attribute
it to a fendish and irresponsible fanatic.
In that case Spain would instantly right
herself by making amends. There is one
thing essential, for the American adminis-
tration to keep its head, and that it seems
to be doing"

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-The English Lloyd
Underwriters are asking a slight additional
premium upon goods shipped by Spanish
steamships to Cuban ports. American COM
panies are doing the same thing. This is
not what is called a war risk. 1t is a spec
ulation on the part of the consignee to pro-
tect himself in the case hostilties should
commence. American marine insurance
companies have received applications for
this speculative insurance.
LONDON, Feb 26.-Inquiries were made
in this city to-day regarding the report
that Lloyd Underwriters were asking
slight war risks upon Spanish steamers
bound for the island of Cuba, but no con-
firmation of the rumor could be obtained.

People speak of their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina or seeing
portion of the eye is fatigued; but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly
ever gets tired. The fatigue is in the
inner and other muscles attached to
the eyeball, and the muscle of ac-
by is gardening. and he varies 1t by
commodation which surrounds the lens
of the eye.
When a near object is to be looked
at this muscle relaxes and allows the
lens to thicken, increasing its refrac-
tory power. The inner and outer mus
cles are used in covering the eye on
the object to be looked at. the inner
one being especially used when a near
object is looked at. 1t IL In the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far
distant objects. The usual indication
Of strain is a redness of the rim OF the
eyelid, betokening a congested state Of
the inner surface, accompanied by
some pain. Sometimes this wearinesS
indicates the need OF glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other
cases the true remedy is to rub the
eye and It's surroundings as far as may
be with the hand wet in cold water.
