TO ENFORCE THE
OLD ORDINANCES
Town Council Likely also TO En-
ACT Some Excellent New Ones
GOOD ROADS AND SCAvENGER

present at the regular meeting of
the town board last night. An
ordinance correcting the grade OF
West Second, Union and other
streets in the West end was laid
over until the next meeting. 1t
was also decided to change the
name of Union street as there is a
better known Union street in the
South end. The mayor suggested
Dewey street as a good name.
An ordinance providing for the
appointment of town scavenger
was introduced. 1t seems to cover
all the necessary points and if
passed and vigorously enforced
will be of immense benefit to the
health of the town. 1t was re-
ferred to special committee CON
sisting of Trustees Deibert, Peil
and Blunt, as it will be necessary
to compile a scale of fees for the
work required to be done by the
house or property holders, but
that will in the majority of cases
devolve upon the scavenger.
Under this ordinance proper re-
ceptacles must be provided by
each householder for ashes and for
garbage, respectively. The con
struction of vaults or earth closets
will probably be required to be
uniform. Such receptacles must
be kept clean, deodorized and
emptied regularly and a fine or
Imprisonment is provided for fail
ure to obey the ordinance. No
rubbish, garbage or dead animals
may be thrown on vacant lots or
elsewhere. If householders neg
lect their duty in this respect the
scavenger will do the work and re-
cover his fees from the house
holder.
A dumping place for refuse, ex-
cepting dead animals, will probab-
ly be selected near the race track.
There was some discussion
relative..t to the collection of so-called
fines from disorderly houses and
gamblers. The police Judge has
been directed to levy these fines
in regular form instead of having
them collected by the marshal
without process of law. 1t APP
peared that the marshal has
hitherto collected the money as
payment for police protection, !"
so far as disorderly houses are
concerned.
James Warner, who was recently
appointed poundmaster, submit
ted an unconsciously humorous re-
port of his work in collecting or
driving off stray stock and his
views on the subject at large, inter
spersed with efforts to utilize an
imaginary Grand Army ''pull.'
1t caused considerable amusement
and if war news is not too pressing
it will be published elsewhere
Warner is candidate for scavan,
ger.
Trustee Peil brought up the
good streets question. He made
part of the-same argument as tc
the need for good streets as has
been urged repeatedly in these
columns. The rest of the board
seemed quite in harmony with
these views. The streets, bridges
and alleys committee was directed
to inquire as to the cost of paving
the principal streets with shale OF
Stag from the coal dumps, and also
to take steps to put in street cross
ings. An ordinance making al
assessment for that purpose vii
probably be introduced shortly.
A motion was carried unani
mously directing the clerk to no
tify property owners that the ordi
nance regarding the paving O
sidewalks will be strictly enforced

THE MAINE TO THE FRONT.
House and Senate Committees Agree
About That.

Washington, April 13.-The house ma
jority Cuban resolution is preceded by
the following: Whereas, That the gov
ernment of Spain for three years past
has been waging war on the island of
Cuba, against a revolution by the in
habitants, thereof, without making any
substantial progress towards the sup
preston of said revolution and has con-
Quoted the warfare in a manner con-
trary to the laws of nations by methods
inhuman and uncivilized, causing the
death by starvation of more than 2OO,-
900 innocent, non-combatants.
The victims were for the most part
helpless women and children, infiicting
intolerable injury to the commercial in
terests of the United States, involving
the destruction of the lives and prop
erty of many of our citizens, entailing
the expenditure of millions of dollars
in patrolling our coasts and policing the
high seas, in order to maintain our neu-
trality and
Whereas. This long series of losses,
injuries and burdens for which Spain is
responsible, has eliminated in the de-
struction of the United States battle
ship Maine in the harbor of Havana
and in the death of 266 of our seamen.

Squadron Suddenly Or
dered to Sail.
1t Will Go Southwark Under
Sealed Orders.
LEAVES AT 2 O'CLOCK.
Excited Speculation as to Where
1t is Going.
Perhaps to Porto Rico to En-
gage the Enemy.

Old Point Comfort, Va, April 13.-
The flying squadron under Commander
Schley sails at o'clock under sealed or
ders for the south.
Washington, April 1S.-Much excite
ment was caused by the news that the
flying squadron had been ordered to
sail southwark under sealed orders at
2 o'clock. There is a great deal of
speculation as to where it is going.
There is a general belief that it has
been ordered to Porto Rico to intercept
the Spanish hotilla or that it is to as
sist in the bombardment of Havana.
Secretary Long, when showed the dis
patch regarding the flying squadron
positively refused to affirm or deny it's
statement or comment on it in any
way, saying it was an inviolable rule
not to refer to the movements of the
warships.
Washington, April 13.-It is officially
announced that the flying squadron
sails this afternoon on a 4S hours prac-
tice cruise.
An official confirmation was given la
ter at the navy department of the re-
port that the flying squadron will sail
today, but it was stated for a practice
cruise of 4S hours. 1t is the impression
at the department, however, that the
squadron will go outside of the capes
and there await any further orders
which may be sent to it by a dispatch
boat.
Newport News, Va, April 1S.-The
flying SQUADRON in command of CommO-
dore Schley left Old Point at 2:20 this
afternoon under sealed orders. The war
ships proceeded slowly toward the
capeS.

LEES WORD GOES.
Says Cuban Government is Only
on Paper.

Washington, April 13.-Some of the
Democrats of the house committee were
inclined to yield their desire for the
recognition of the independence of the
present government in Cuba as the
resolutions of the majority were for the
establishment of an independent gov
ernment, but they criticised the word
establishment as perhaps blocking
what might be desirable in the future,
by recognition of the present govern
ment. They were informed that their
colleagues the senate committee who
desire the direct recognition of the pres
ent government had yielded after talk
ing to Gen. Lee and the Democrats ask
ed for a recess for the purpose of con-
sulting their colleagues.
The statement in Gen. n.Lee'S testimony
which has had an influence with the
more radical pro-Cuban members of the
senate committee on foreign relations,
was to the effect that the present Gu
ban government was a government on
paper only. He said, however, that no
real facts on the subject and that this
was merely an opinion
Gen. Lee also said that it was not
true that the lights in Havana went
out on the nightsof the explosion

TO THE CANARIES.
That is Probably the Destination of
the Flying Squadron.

Washington, April 13-It is now de-
termined that as soon as war is de-
clared, Captain Sampson will steam
for Havana and attack it by sea, and
and invest the city on the west thus
cutting it off entirely from the rest of
the island, except by means of the in
ner harbOr. Havana can be readily
and safely shelled from the sea, without
exposing the attacking vessels to a
damaging fire. This is the opinion of
Captain Sigsbee, who made a careful
study of the defenses of the city during
his stay there. 1t is also the opinion
of General Lee, who has made even
closer study of the defenses of the cap
ital. 1t is also expected that the rev.
olutionists of the province of Pinar
del Rio, who are by no means sup
pressed or exterminated will hasten to
while Gomez and Garcia will move
straight to Havana from the east
The Spanish troops, who have fought
in Vain against unarmed and starving
able to withstand such a concerted at
tack by the revOlutionists who have
resisted them in the field and the we'll
disciplined, and well armed troops of
the United States. The fall of Havana
is thought to be matter of a few days
only and with Havana will practically
fall the entire Spanish authority and
forces in the island.
The flying squadron, which has been
ordered to sail today, it is thought is
destined for an attack on the Canaries
It's purpose is to divert the Spanish
fleet, destroy it's base of supplies in the
CanarieS, cut it's line of communication
and seize a point of great advantage
for establishing a base of action for
our navy
1t will then harry the coast of Spain
and engage any fleet it may meet in
Spanish waters.

THE RESOLUTIONS.
Adopted by the First District Repub-
Iican Convention at Horton.

Horton, April 13.-The congressional con-
vention at Horton adopted the resolutions
reported by Judge Horton, who was
chosen chairman of the committee, as fol-
lows:
''First-We reaffirm the platform adopt
ed by the Republican national convention
at ST Louis in June, 1895, and pledge anew
our faith in the principles promulgated
therein
'Second-We approve the wise and pa
triotic craftsmanship of William McKfn-
lev as the chief executive of the nation in
our foreign and domestic affairs, COM
manding as it does, the confidence of the
American people and the respect of the
civilized world. We especially emphasize
our admiration of his policy of armed in
tervention in the affairs of Cuba, whereby
Spanish influence, misrule and cruelty
shall be banished from the continent and
Cuba, the gem of the Antilles, shall be-
come free and independent.
''Third-We indOrSe the faithful services
of Senator Lucien Baker and Charles
Curtis in congress, and we especially
thank them for their services in securing
favorable consideration for Kansas pro-
ducts when the Dingley tariff bill was un-
der consideration.
''Fourth-We record with supreme salts
faction that all the promises and predic-
tions of the Republican party in the last
national campaign are being fulfilled and
that prosperity is extending to every part
of common country.
''Fifth-We demand a liberal construc-
ton of our national statutes relating to
pensions for old soldiers and favor in
every way proper protection to these
wards of the nation

cles that neither the message nor last
nights cabinet meeting has changed
the prospects of peace.
The Spanish government considers
tnat apart from its solemn affirmation
of Spain's rights as a nation, the min
1sters are not called upon to make any
declaration so long as the resolutions of
congress, or the initiative of President
Mckinley, do not lead to concrete acts.
The official note also says: A firm
consciousness of rights, united with the
resolution to maintain them, will inspire
the nation as they inspire the govern
ment with the serenity necessary in
these difficult moments to direct sue
cessfully and defend energetically the
sacred interests which are the patrimo
ny of the Spanish race.

Efadrid, April 13.--A far greater SEN

WHAT THE POPE THOUGHT.
Regarded the Presidents Message as
Pacific.

London, April 13.-The Rome cores
pondent of the Daily Chronicle says:
AT the Vatican the presidents mes
sage is regarded as pacific. Archbishop
Martenilli cabled from Washington this
morning (Tuesday) that the armistice
had produced an excellent effect in the
United States and that the situation
would end in war like speeches in con-
gress, which would not lead to action.
''At the Italian foreign office the sit
uation is regarded less favorably. 1t is
recognized that the message is moder-
ate but not absolutely pacific, and it is
feared that the insurgents will reject
the armiStice.''

st. Petersburg Paper Thinks We

ST. Petersburg, April 13.-The semi

President McKinley's message to con-
gress, precludes the possibility of mill
States, taking the ground that the pas
sage referred to, recognizes Spain's ar
mistice, and that the armistice sus-
pends hostilities which is the object the
United States had in view.
