SOAP TO WASH OUT DEBT.
The Scheme Of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.

The Scheme Of the woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
The big debt that hangs over the
Woman's temple is to be washed away
by soap. It will take 80, 600, 600 bars to
do it. but the ardent members Of the W.
@. T. U. from Maine to California have
made a vow to use just as much soap al
possible, and all of one kind. For the
managers of the Woman's temple have
entered into a broad and comprehensive
wrapper" scheme.
Every wrapper means a cent, and If
they can get enough wrappers the debt
will be paid off. So circulars have been
sent broadcast from one end of America
to the other, warning good members Of
the w. @. T. U. not to use any kind Of
soap except the regular" brand, test
ed, passed upon and found good by Mrs.
Helen Barker, treasurer of the W. G. T.
u, and the other women of the society,
who are moving heaven and earth to
raise the necessary amount before the
building falls into the hands of the
mortgage and bondho1ders.
Rival soap firms are boiling with in
dignation at the sharp trick that has
been played upon them by an enterpris-
ing Chicago soap company, but the
wrapper scheme promises to reach big
proportions. The debt on the temple il
about 100000. The last extension Of
time for payment expires July 1.

WOULD UNITE
 LATIN STATES Fl Pals Thinks Spain Gould Form a Big
 Confederation. Republics Might Be Urged to Resist Intrusion of Anglo
 SaXOnS.
Some English Newspapers Indicate That France Would Aid the
 Casulians.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON. Feb. 19.-There is a cu- rious discussion in the Spanish press as to the possibility of confederating the Latin republics of South America with Spain against the United States. Fl Pals contends that the Spanish re- publics are weak through isolation, and that if united in military and diplomatic alliance they would be the fret mower in the world in territory, the second in population and that their armies and navies would have suff1- cient power to insure respect. The pa ners point out that the jealousies of the renublics prevent them from taking the initiative. but Spain, it is claimed, ouebt to urge her lazy diplomats to anDroach the republics with the view of combining for the defense of Latin interests. endangered by the intrusion of the Anglo-Saxons.
 Fl Pais thinks Spain's advice would not be discarded if she warned Latin America against the United States, adding:
 For it is we'll known that the greedy Yankees. once the Panama canal IS opened to the worlds commerce, will do all which their perfidy can suggest - Central America, even as England seized the Suez Canal. Tending in this direction is the desire of the Americans to secure Cuba
 In conclusion Fl Pals says: ''The ad- yances of the United States in the sea of Antilles are preliminary steps in the blockade and occupation of the future canal"
 Referring to Latin alliances. the Spectator, in a long article, points out that there is no doubt of the existence of special relations between France and Spain, which have lately been strengthened, and says:
 There are well-informed people who believe that when in the autumn the United States and Spain almost col lided, the United States found there was a stiffness in the Spanish attitude which could be only accounted for by the fact that Spain knew she could appeal to a power which could not neglect her demands for help"
 The Saturday Review expresses the belief that France allowed the United States to understand indirectly that considerations of importance to her would not allow her to see Spain treat ed in ali unfriendly manner.

TORPEDO BOAT NO. 16
 PREPARED FOR SERVICE
Significance of the Promptness With
 Which the New Craft Was Equipped

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Feb 19-Tor- pedo boat No. 16, known as the Quinn, was put overheard from the Heres hoff shop at Bristol in a hurry to-day. The boat was launched more than a month ago, but contrary to the usual form was at once taken into the ad- joining shop and machinists began the work of equipping the craft with her engines and other intricate parapher- nalia This unusual move was taken as indicative of the desire to get the boat into commission as quickly as pos sible. as the work could be done with much greater ceIerity under cover than when the boat was moored to the dock.
 As soon as the craft was put over board to-day steam. was gotten up and in a short time the engines began to turn and were kept going the greater part of the day. There was no cere- mony attending the launching to-day and the promptness with which the engines were set going served to indi- cate that the boat would be put in commission in short order The new boat is a twenty-knot craft of the us- ual type, and trim and speedy look ing vessel.

TELLS OF THE
 AWFUL WRECK Captain Sigsbee Describes Incidents of the
 Disaster. After the First Explosion He Realized That His Ship
 Was Gone.
Declares That He Had Always Main tained Extra Precautions Against
 an Attack.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

| HAVANA, Feb. 19.-Captain c. D.
 Sigsbee of the battleship Maine. in ar 1 interview to-day with correspondent
 described in detail the explosion which destroyed the great ship.
 'On the night of the explosion" said | Captain Sigsbee, T had not retired. | was writing letters. I find 1t impossi- | ble to describe the sound or shock, but | the impression remains of something overlapping, terrifying, of noise-rend- l ing, vibrating, all-pervading. There is nothing in the former experience of any 1 one on board by which to measure the | explosion.
 1 After the first great shock-I cannot myself recall how many sharp detona- tions I heard, not more than two or 1 three-I knew my ship was gone. In such structure as the Maine, the eff | fectS of such an explosion are not for a
 moment in doubt.
 ''I made my way through the long passageway in the dark, groping from side to side in the hatchway and then | into the poop, being among the earliest
 to reach that spot. So soon as l recog-
 nized the officers I ordered the high ex-
 plosives to be flooded, and l then di-
 rected that the boats available be low
 cred to rescue the wounded or drown ing. Discipline in perfect measure pre- vailed. There was no more confusion l than a call to general quarters would
 produce nor as much.
 'I soon saw by the light of the flames that all my officers and crew left alive and on board surrounded me. ] can- | not form any idea of the time, but it | seemed five minutes from the time
 reached the poop until 1 left, the last
 man it was possible to reach having
 been saved. It must have been three | quarters of an hour or more, however | from the amount of work lone.
 T remember the officers and mer
 worked together lowering the boats
 and that the gig took some time to low
 CT. I did not notice the rain of debris l described by Lieutenant Blandin ol l others who were on deck at the time | of the first explosion, but l did observe | the explosion of the fixed ammunition l and wondered that more were not hurt | thereby.
 without going beyond the limits o1 what was proper in the harbor of 2 1 friendly power, I had always main 1 tained precautions against attack, ant | the quarter watch was ordered to have | ammunition for the smaller gunsready tc
 hand, so that in the improbable event
 of attack on the ship it would be founC
 ready It was this ammunition which l exploded as the heat reached it.' | Captain Sigsbee and all officers here
 are very anxious for news from the | United States as to the public opinion
 there. The captain has done all he car | to calm the excitement in the United | States and to induce the public to wait
 for the results of the investigation be- | fore forming judgment as to the | cause of the explosion.

NAT c. GOODWIN TO
 WE'D MAXINE ELLIOTT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-A Cleveland spe- cial to the Herald says: MT. Nat c. Good win and Miss Maxine Elliott will be mar ried at Hollenden tomorrow morning. George Appleton, Goodwin's manager, paid a visit to the probate court late this afternoon and procured the necessary li- cense. He swore the clerk to secrecy in the matter, and the license was taken from the back part of the book. The wedding tomorrow morning will be a very quiet affair, the only guests being MT. and Mrs. Appleton and Miss Gertrude FL liott sister of the bride.
 When Goodwin was in Chicago three weeks ago he received notice that Judge Pryor of the Supreme Court of New York had rendered a decree in the divorce case of Nella R. Goodwin against. Nat Good win, by which she was restored to her maiden name and given the privilege of remarrying. He, however, was especially prohibited, from marrying during the life of his former wife. This decree. however, is only legally operative in New York.
 Goodwin was averse to being married in Chicago, and, as he played in Buffalo, N. Y, last week he could not be married there. So the marriage is to take place here at once.
