that warships should be near enough to
protect Americans. Strict orders were
given not to allow the forces from the
Maine to land, unless necessary. They
will not go into the city for pleasure.
When they go it will be for business.
The New York Worlds Washington
correspondent says that the battleshlp
Maine was ordered to Havana in response
to cablegram from Consul General Lee.
He asserts that after 6 o'clock Monday
night three cipher dispatches from Gen.
Lee were received at the State Depart
ment, translated, and sent to Judge Day,
who took them to the dinner given by
Judge McKenna At that dinner all the
members of the cabinet except Gen. Alger
were present and q consultation, prac-
tically a cabinet meeting, was held to
consider the situation in Cuba. After re-
turning to the executive mansion the Tres
ident ordered direct telegraphic connec-
ton between there and Key West.
The news that at last an American YES
sci is to be stationed at Havana was en-
Enthusiastically received in Washington.
This move is obviously popular, since it
offers protection to our citizens and in
terests, and puts us in the field in case
events should require the presence there
of a strong force of American marines
with big guns to back them. No we'll
informed man in Washington expects war
as the direct outgrowth Of such trlf1ing
thing as the dispatch Of a naval vessel to
guard American interests in Havana. Nor
does any vell-informed man believe the
Cuban problem is to be solved In any other
way than by virtue of the force and pres
tige of this Government behind de-
mand that the war stop, the starving be
fed and the homeless be sheltered, with
the United States as an admitted and
most potent factor in the reconstruction
of the Government of the island. Inc
next move Of the United States is likely
to take this form.

A Washington correspondent says there
has been no International reason why our
navy should have kept away from Cuban
waters for the last two or three years.
President Cleveland took extraordinary
care not to offend Spain by allowing war
ships to appear in Cuban waters without
invitation. That policy has en-followed
until now, and the situation in Cuba has
grown worse until to-day not only Amer

Havana are in danger, but Gen. Blanco

WHEAT GOES SOARING.
Reaches the $1.1O Mark The Highest
Price on the 1897 Crop.


Cash wheat took another of those ris-
ing, sky hunting jumps Friday in Chi
cage, and when the smoke had cleared
had fallen back, the cereal stood at LILO,
and the bears, who got into the thick of
the rush, had pocketbooks that looked as
if an elephant had stepped on them.
This is the top mark for wheat. Sep
TENDER went up to $1.0o, and traders were
astounded when the December price was
showed up to $1.09. Now these figures
look small, and further advances are
looked for. 1t is predicted by well-posted
men that the May figure will be far above
even the present high quotations.
Wheat closed at $1.04B Thursday
night, and opened at $1.05 F:iday. There
were rumors around the floor of the Board
of Trade of an intended onslaught upon
the prices and desperate attempt to run
the mark up to height never attained
before. and the bears were on their guard.
When the attack came, however, they
were like chaff before the breeze. The
bulls swept over them, and the price went
up by leaps and bounds.
The pit was worse pandemonium, If
possible, than on the day that Letter and
his COlleaSueS HfSt FusHeu lie pliee pe-
vond the dollar. Men were dancing
around like monkeys on hot griddles; mes
sengers rushed frantically here and there,
and the uproar of voices resembled a
spasm of many bulldogs headed up with
ten packs of frccrackers in a gigantic
barrel. The onslaught never rested for
a moment. At every swoop the price
went up another fraction, and it was not
long before the fractional divisions began
to be ignored and the figure to ascend
by wholesale quantities. At 1927 the
$110 was reached, and the triumphant
rushers rested from their labors.
May wheat, meanwhile, took small
climb of it's own, starting i'll at 96bc and
ascending to 9S3sc, but nobody took much
interest-the big battle absorbed all at
taptiop

Murder Mystery May Be Cleared Up
After Eight Years 1897 Cut of
Lumber at La Crosse Scalded by
Milwaukee Exp1osion-Big Fire.
Mystery of a Murder.

Eight years ago last August Carl
Hanke. son of William Hanke, residing
near Granton, was found dead with a
rife at his side, near Il logging camp in
the town of Sherman. There were sus-
picious circumstances connected with his
death, which led many persons to believe
that it was case of murder, but the Off
GERS failed to get any clew and the matter
was dropped. The following winter an
old bachelor named Sim Fields, living
alone near the same logging camp, was
found hanging in his barn. Many of the
neighbors connected his~death with that
of Hanke, thinking that he committed the
deed and through remorse took his own
life, but the confession of man in sa-
loon while he was drunk few days ago
sheds new light upon the crime. His story
is to the effect that Hanke was killed by
n friend of Fields in quarrel over
woman Fields witnessed the shooting,
and afterward, owing to his threats to eX-
pose the murderer, the latter slew him
also.
