Sinking of nuuitaDuu,

a.w-HH~-T- ~ Et
Lieutenant Thomas b. Lamoreux, fourth
artillery. stationed at Fort McHenry, in
speaking about the Maine explosion to Il
reporter for the Baltimore Sun, said: ''The
catastrophe reminds me very much of the
battleship Aquidaban, a ship almost the
same size as the Maine. which was sunk
on April IA, 1894. during the revolt in Bra
gil.
1.-THE Aquidaban was a double turret,
twin-screw ship. built In 1885. with citadel
and turret armor 10 inches thick. good for
seven knots, and with a compliment of 1856
men. Her proportions We're very much
like the Names. She was sunk in Port
Bello bay by a torpedo charged with 125
pounds of gun cotton.
The attack was made at night. The
torpedo struck with terrific force between
frames Nos. 6 and Z. The Injuries extend
ed from the bow to the twelfth frame and
below tn protective deck. All the frames
on this side were crushed inward, denoting
an external explosion TThla naterstigh
bulkhead at the sixth frame was entirely
carried away, as were the frames of the
water-tight bulkhead at the twelfth
frame. which remained intact, with door
ments We're flooded. Directly on the other
side of the ship from where the torpedo
struck. about two feet from the keel and
near frame seven. was a hole two feet in
diameter, the ragged edges with their
fanges outward and plates badly twisted.
The hole made by the striking of the tor
pedo l can easily account for, but the hole
on the other side of the battleship l cannot
understand"

Pretend to Think the United States

Fight.
THIS COUNTRY TO BE WARNED
Austria, Germany and Russia Arc
Expected to Unite In n PRO-
test Against the specn-
lators' War.

London, March l6.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Times says:
According to information obtained
from good sources the Austrian em-
peror is making great efforts to induce
the European powers to present to the
United States the dnnger to Europe of
their carrying any further their inter
ference in Cuban affairs. Emperor
William is warmly seconding the eff
forts of Emperor Francis Joseph. The
American government is aware of
This situation"
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times telegraphs an abstract Of an ar
ticle in the ST. Petersburg Novoe
N'remya which he thinks observes at
ntion, as giving an accurate account
Of the views and intentions of at least
!hrce of the great powers" The cor
respondent says:
"The article asserts that the United
States are well aware that i'll declaring
var against Spain they could not
count upon the approval of any of the
European powers. All, it alleges, would
sympathize with Spain, if not actively,
certainly by categorical protest
against President McIIinley's conduct.
This is also well known ut Madrid.
therefore, continues the Novoe
Vremya writer, it is hoped that Spain
will not fall into the trap laid by
Washington, for she has so far no scri-
GUS grounds for declaring war, and
measures should Immediately be taken
in order that she may not have such
grounds in the future.
'The European representatives, con-
.ludes the article, will notify the
Washington government that it is
heir opinion that war is not desir-
able; that it is TO be hoped that Presi-
aent Mckinley will realize the disad-
yantage of such general cessure and
will not allow himself to be egged into
war by American spectators"
The Vienna correspondent of the
Standard declares that Austria and
Germany sympathize with Spain, the
former being actuated by family ties
between the two reigning houses and
the latter by n grudge against the
United States.

When the stout lady entered the ele-

says the N. Y. Sun. There were little
touches of finery about her dress, whose
presence was explained when she
caught sight of m acquaintance on the
other side of the car and Immediately
plunged across the aisle and sat down
beside her.
"rve just been up calling on Lucy
Powers" she began at once. "She used

from her tower I'd run across and see
her and this morning Mrs. Ebler told
me she'd seen her on Broadway over

She had Il large, limp mouth and

Il told William I'd call in for him

London Spectator: One day about
three weeks ago a dairyman, who rents
a few fields from the Earl of Hadding-
ton, when out in his fields noticed a
pheasant roosting in a tree about
Twelve feet from the ground. Shortly
after a fox came prowling through the
small plantation in which the tree
grew, and quickly marked the bird. AT
once it proceeded to run round the
tree in a narrow circle and at a rapid
rate. In a very short, time the pleas
mt fell from its roost, evidently hyp-
Noticed or rendered giddy by watch
Ing the circular career of Mr.. Reynard.
Before it reached the ground the fox
had it in it's mouth and scampered off.
The dairyman was SO amused with the
performance that he made no effort to
stop the fox.
