a different view of the situation. They think the country is drifting toward a conflict of arms The preparations throughout the United States signify something beyond the ordinary in mili- tary affairs. The question is asked: President call for in the event of a declaration of war;" One officer at army headquarters yesterday re- marked: "One hundred thousand men would be called for" Another said: Three hundred thousand would be nearer the mark. Let us assume that the United States troops would be mob ilized near Key West for operations in Cuba. Spain has an army of 100000 seasoned and trained soldiers in Cuba to-day. It is known that the Spanish soldier will fight, and he can live on as little as any other man. It is common phrase in Spain that "a Span kick" To meet the Spanish army 2OO,- 900 strong an equal number of troops would be necessary.
 Should there be a call for three hun dred thousand troops California quota would be six regiments. The National Guard would not be asked to leave the State but many GuardsmeQ, enlisted men and officers might enlist as volun- teers and be mustered into the Califor- nia volunteer regiments of the United States army. In 1861, when troops were called for by President Lincoln, the militia organizations did not respond as regiments or companies. Many of- ficers of the California National Guard might raise companies of men to join the voluneer regiments and so gain the advantage and distinction of active service in fighting the troops of Spain.
 A call for three hundred thousand men would produce two hundred thou sand effective soldiers. Estimates show that fully one-third of the men of new army either die of ailments result ing from exposure or become disabled by reason of sickness during the first year of campaigning. The climate of Cuba might be so trying on soldiers from this country that 50 per cent would succumb to disease and exposure before a decisive engagement was fought.
 President Mckinley knows some thing of war, and he does not desire to plunge the country into conflict if peace can be honorably maintained. If war was declared he would not make the mistake of calling out few men for a short length of time. It is be- lieved that he would call at once for the enlistment and organization of a force equal in numbers to the Spanish army in Cuba. Under the protection of our warships the troops of the United States could be landed in Cuba and put in. line for active operations against the Spanish.
 Our army might meet with reverses early in the campaign. Many of our soldiers would perish in the field before the fighting began, but new recruits would rally around the flag and fill the depleted ranks. As fighter on land and sea the American is not surpassed. Experience has shown that he will stand up under the severest strain of battle. Tn a war with Spain the Span iards, despite their boasting would get a terrible whipping, but war might cost one hundred thousand human

Tompkinsville for New York the off, cers, with Detective Davis, enjoyed re- freshment at the historic old Nautilus Hotel, where more than a hundred years ago Washington and Lafayette talked over war matters. There was no falling off in the crowds that gazed at the Vizcaya from Staten Island to- day, and hundreds of cameras wers snapped at the big man-of-war.
 Krajewski, Peasant & Co.,, controlling Erie Basin Iron Works, Brooklyn, have been engaged since last Monday in repairing the steam steering gear of the Vizcaya. Although MT. Lytle, the con- cern's manager, refused to discuss the matter or to give the nature of the re- pairs being made when I questioned him to-day, the fact that the firm is en- gagged in making such repairs is well known.
 When within a few hours steam of Sandy Hook the quartermaster of the Vizcaya discovered that the vessel was not answering her helm. The warship was brought to an immediate stand still to permit the chief engineer to make an investigation. This official lOuuQ lIldl tLe SlSel SSdlIuS COlluSCllilS the steam steering engines with the ships rudder had become disconnected. A closer examination disclosed the fact that the main pillow of the block had been broken and that several cogs of importance had been snapped off by the great strain. It was fortunate that the accident was promptly discovered, otherwise it is said the damage would have been far greater. During the re- mainder of the journey to the port the vessel was steered entirely by hand steerage apparatus. AS soon as the Vizcaya cast anchor her commander notified the Brooklyn firm to make the necessary repairs. Several castings were made and are now being placed in position. It is expected that the re- pairs will be completed in ample time for the Vizcaya to leave this port to- morrow at the time arranged.

 HAVANA, Feb 24-Before the Board of Inquiry to-day the principal witness was Captain Teasdale of the British bark Dela His examination occupied most of the afternoon session. It was impossible to glean the nature of his evidence aboard the Mangrove, but this evening I rowed across the harbor to the captains ship, which is now alongside the wharf at Regla, dis charging cargo. On the night of the explosion she was anchored in the stream. Captain Teasdale greeted me frankly on introduction, but on a statement of my mission at once said his evidence to-day had been given in secrecy and he could say nothing re- garding his testimony before the Board of Inquiry.
 Of the events of that fateful night he spoke freely. 1T was sitting in my cabin at a table writing" he said, when I felt my ship tremble Then came a shock that nearly upset me, and I rushed up the companion way, think ing the steamer had run into us in the darkness, but 1 soon saw what it was. When I reached the deck the Maine

Several were hard, and made a sound like iron, but one soft mass came down, and the men drek back, thinking 1t was a human foot.
 Tt had every appearance of a piece of flesh covered with hair, but proved to be boiler lining or packing, which was made of some kind of felt, present ing hairy surface. I can't, in view of my evidence before the board, give you my views as to the cause of the explo- sion. In few moments the smell of burning flesh reached us and before midnight nothing was left of the Maine but curled up sheets. Next morning l picked up number of objects, but no bodies fioated to us. That there were two shocks and a heavy swell caused neither by tide nor wind I am certain D

TOPEKA, Feb. 24.-William J. Bryan addressed 600 Democrats at a banquet held in this city tonight. The gathering was in the nature of re- union of the Democrats. Its magni- tude gives it considerable significance as showing the Democratic strength as a balance of power in this State. Many speakers of State prominence addressed the meeting.
 Bryan asserted that the money power is to be the paramount issue in the next campaign, and cited the fact that the national committees of the Demo- crats, the Populists and the free silver Republicans have issued an address in which they assert the money question is the issue and call for cooperation of the forces that it may triumph.
 In an interview Bryan declined to discuss the present crisis with Spain. He said there is time enough to discuss that affair when the official investiga- tion committee in the Maine affair has made its report.
