sage aud Kentucky
WATER, WHISKEY AND WINE

Newport News, Va, March "a
About 10000 men, women and
children today Witnessed the
launching of the battleships Ken
tucky and Kearsage.
The big Kearsage was auspi-
ciously launched. the sponsor be-
ing Mrs. Elizabeth Maynard Wins
low, wife of Lieutenant Winslow,
whose father commanded the fa-
nous old Kearsage, when that YES
sci fought the Alabama in Eu-
ropean waters. The vessel was
christened with champagne.
The Kentucky then received her
baptism. Miss Bradley, daughter
of the governor of Kentucky, with
a bottle OF spring water wrapped in
an American flag, dashed it upon
the bow of the great battleship
and exclaimed: "In the name Of
the United States, l christen thee
Kentuckyw
But while the spring water pro-
gramme was thus duly carried out,
surprise was in store for the
spectators. The Kentucky had
her drink and it was of wine and
good old Bourbon whiskey as well.
AS the water bottle was broken by
Miss Bradley a number of Ken
tuckians doused the ships bow
with several TASKS Of "real stuff.
whilst sailor, who, with number
of comrades, had determined that
the Kentucky should not be s.hoo-
dooed'', split bottle of cham

ThURsToN'S TESTIMONY
In Stronger CoIors Than yet Used
he Paints Cuba

Washington, March "a = Mr..
Thurston this morning addressed
the Senate on the condition of
Cuba. His speech was stronger
than either Proctor's or Gallingers.
The only voices dissenting from
Intervention in Cuba he said,
were the money changers who
feared the depression of the stock
market. This should make no DIFF
ference, for when one gambler lost
another won.
Referring to what he saw in
Cuba he said that American pa
pers had presented an accurate
picture of the terrible situation.
He demanded that the Uuited
States should take action on this
Cuban question outside of the
Maine explosion as the latter is a
secondary matter and if it is shown
that the shipwas blown up through
Spanish agency, swift and terrible
punishment would be adjudged
later on. 1t is, he said, time to
end this war of starvation not only
with bread, but with the muskets
of American soldiers.
The senator referred to the de-
mand for the liberation of Cuba
made in the Republican platform
but disclaimed any intention of
criticizing the administration.

of war,
A conference of leaders of the
Senate and House was held last
night to make certain that no ac-
ton shall be taken untilthe report
of the Maine board of inquiry is
sent to congress, that might upset
the Presidents plans. The meet
ing did not adjourn until l a. m,
and it developed very serious sit
uation.
A prominent member of con-
gress who is believed to have ex-
ceptional knowledge on the sub
ject, laid before the meeting a
statement to the effect that the re-
port will submit evidence accusing
Spain OF being accessory to the
blowign up of the Maine. OF
course, if this shall prove to be
true, all attempts to keep congress
in check would be futile.
The conference adjourned with
the feeling that if the report ac-
quits Spain of intention to harm,
it may be possible to get it into
committee without action. Should,
however, the new version be cor
rect, no senator can predict the
result.

Washington, March 24-Intelli-
gence has reached here that the
Spanish torpedo hotilla has sailed
from the Canary Islands for Porto
Rico.
Intense excitement prevails at
this news. The President and
the war department have been in
formed.
1t will be remembered that these
dispatches, while indicating that
the prolonged stay of the tiotilla
at the Canaries was due to an un-
derstanding between Spain and
the United States, also predicted
that its departure for Cuba would
be regarded as an act of war.
The Florence daily tribune., 1898-03-24

Washington, Later-It is be-
lieved that President Mckinley
will authorize vigorous remon-
STRANGE to the Spanish ministry,
setting forth that the sailing of
the torpedo fotilla for western
waters must be considered by this
government as an unfriendly act.
1t is felt the more likely that
this step will be taken from the
fact that the state department had
already intimated through Minis
lister Woodford that the despatch
of the vessels from Spain was re-
garded as implying unfriendli-
ness.

Virginia's Debt.

AT the request of holders of a large
amount of the Virginia deferred certi6-
Gates representing the debt allotted to
West Virginia on the creation of that
State, John Crosby Brown, George Cop
pell, !. Kennedy Tod and Clarence Cary
have agreed to act as a committee, and
in conjunction with R. P. Chew, of West
Virginia, Virginius Newton, of Virginia,
and other citizens of the W States, to
make an effort to obtain a compromise
and settlement of this interstate debt
This is an undertaking in line with the
successful settlement of the Virginia State
debt some years ago. Several attempts
have been made in the past to secure a
settlement with West Virginia, but the
work has been futile.
Holders of certificates who desire to
take part in the movement should deposit
their certificates with Brown Brothers g.
Co, so that arrangements may be made
in time to submit a proposition to the next
Legislature of West Virginia.
New York World.
The question rs to whether West Viz.
ginia is honestly liable for any portion Of
the old Virginia debt, It seems to us, is
one which should be settled, and not left.
like Banquo's ghost, to rise every little
while to agitate the public mind. 1t is
II conscientious belief that West Vir.
ginia is really liable for put a small por.
ton, if any, of this debt. But be that a.
it may, the matter should be settled once
and forever, and the State go forward
with a clean balance sheet, free from
even the suspicion of being a dishones
debtor.
