mack's Suggestion.
Madrid, Feb. 27.-Senor Sagasta, COM
menting upon an alleged interview with
Prince Bismarck, In which the latter is
represented as suggesting that the Cuban
trouble should be submitted to the powers
for arbitration, expresses his astonishment
that such an idea could emanate from
Prince Bismarck, and declared emphati-
cally that nothing but ignorance on the
question could inspire the notion that
Spain would suffer foreign intrusion or
submit to arbitration in her indisputable
rights of sovereignty"
Nobody. said the Spanish premier, would
dare propose such an absurdity, and no
Spanish government would listen or dream
of such thing.
The impartial, in an editorial to-day,
blames Spanish weakness in the Allanca,
Venedito, Competitor and other affairs, as
encouraging the United States in their
present bellicose attitude" 1t counsels
the government to awake to the reality of
a situation which the good sense of the
Spanish people understands and is ready
to meet.

hers of the court of inquiry, arrived from
Havana at o'clock this morning.
The court will resume its session in the
United States district court room in the
federal building at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning. and will probably return to Ha-
vana on Wednesday.
The most important witness to be eX-
amined here Is Lieut.. Blandin, the officer
of the deck when the explosion on the
Maine occurred. The testimony of the
other survivors will take only a short
time.
Rear-Admiral Sicard has had frequent
conferences with Capt. Sampson and 9th
or members of the court of inquiry at the
hotel He said tonight: II think they
ought to get away on Wednesday. AS yet
there is nothing that can be said about
their work"
In reply to a question as to the rumor-
ed removal of the warships to Cuba, Ad-
nniral Sicard said '"Fhe feet is not NOV
inc and l know nothing about 1t going
to Cuba"
He was asked if anything
had happened to justify the
abatement that the situation Was
more serious to-day than 1t had been, and
he replied: "Ihey KNOW dt washing loh
about that. Just how strained our rela-
tions are with Spain | am unable 70 say
The excitement yesterday after the ar
rival of the Cuban flibusters. headed by
Gen. Nunez and Capt. John O'Brien,
completely eclipsed all the doings and
savings of the court of inquiry officers.
Their quick departure prevented very
much being learned as to the expedition
hut the Cubans here are elated. An ex-
nedition has been preparing to get away
from Key West for some time, but IT prob
ably will suffer another delay as the
plot has leaked out through TWO spanish
spies. 80,

Americans to Leave.
Cincinnati, o., Feb. ga special to the
Commerclal-Tribune from Tampa, Fla,
says: capt. Hanlon of the Plant steam
ship Mascotte, which arrived here tonight
from Havana, was granted an audience
yesterday by Consul General Lee and took
breakfast with him at Hotel Ingleterra.
ITO him Gen. Lee positively denied the
reports that he had advised Americans to
leave Havana.
capt. Hanlon states that the body
guard of Gen. Lee consist of only three
soldiers, and that fewer soldiers were in
evidence on the streets OF Havana than
usual, and no excitement among the peo-
pie there had been caused by the rumors
OF war published in the papers of this
country.
Gen Lee admitted to Capt. Hanlon that
both Cubans and Spaniards are intensely
interested In the result of the investiga-
ton by the board Of inquiry but, further
than that, all reports of excitement or
threatened demonstration were ground

Bernabe, the new Spanish minister
to the United States, has started
for Gibraltar en- route to New York He
is fully empowered to continue the re-

case the pacifcation of Cuba should not
have made progress before the rainy sea-

1t is an open secret that both the home
and colonial governments consider the
preservation of friendly relations with the
United States as no less important in the
pacification of Cuba than the military
operations and the unofficial negotiations

which it could not compete with the
Suez route and that the competition
of the trans-continental lines of rail
road would deprive it of much patron
age, all things for which there was any
expedition required naturally going by
rail thus leaving only the bulky arti-
cles to 60 by water most of which now
90 around the Horn and that there is
little likelihood of any increase, while
not enough to pay any revenue to a
canal. Then there is the question of
international complications and it is
reported that England is already at
work on large Notifications and mari
time Improvements at Kingston,
Jamaica, planned to give her chance
to partly command the gulf end of the
canal and also to divert to her territory
some of the other benefits supposed to
follow it's construction. The matter is
being carefully considered and will be
heard of quite frequently during the
session. THESE are questions which
members carefully discuss in personal
conversation, singly and in little
groups, before the plan of action is
settled and brought up on the floor of
the House. In fact, all important leg
islation is practically settled in this
way. The speeches made OH the floor
seldom change votes or convince any
body, that has all been done in the
quieter discussion that is going OH all
the time. Some people have an idea
that this is not the way business
is done in congress, but think the yot-
ing members are often won by glow
ing speech as jury sometimes is in
law suit, but they are mistaken, that is
all. The fellow with hair-trigger to
his mouth is not necesSarilya useful
member of any kind of a deliberative
assembly and in fact is generally con-
sidered a nuisance. Careful attention
to detail, personal work and the ability
to make speech Unnecessary, with the
judgment to keep still when advisable
are a larger part of the requirements
of successful legislator. Some con-
stituencies don't think so, but they
may learn eventually.

The Massachusetts Metaphysical

Published by Request.l
Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the dis
coverer and founder of Christian
Science. has just completed the ex-
animation of class of 20 of the active
workers in Christian Science Mind
Healing, to confer upon them the de-
grees of the Massachusetts Metaphysi-
cal college as healers and teachers of
this system of medicine-whOse only
crowned head is divine sovereignty,
whose only priest is the spiritualized
man. Most Of those present were the
students of her students. Nearly all of
them had had several years experience
and marked success as healers.

editors. Judge Ewing of the superior
court of Chicago arrived to late to be
present at the closing lesson, but he

as he was not recovering under that
practice, but growing worse, he de-
cided to try Christian Science. He did
not, however give this system Il fair
trial, for his friends gave him no peace

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. II, 1898.
Harry A. Swigert, a bright Ninth
district boy, goes with Col. Dunwoodie
to Cuba as his assistant in charge of
the signal corps work. All the tele-
graph and cable lines in the island are
to be turned over to the corps. Mr..
Hager secured for Mr.. Swigert an ap-
p0intment as sergeant Of the first
class at the beginning of the war and
by merit he has won the highest rank
that his captain could give and was in
active service in Cuba and Porto Rico.
He was then detailed for duty in the
war department and his work is SO
efficient that he has been persuaded to
remain in the service, although his
company has been mustered out and
his superior officers seem determined
to have him remain in the service. He
will probably receive commission
after the passage of the army reorgan-
ization bill.
1t is a source of great deal of sat.
isfaction to Mr.. Hager that all the men
given places in the army at his request
have proven themselves competent and
trustworthy. Mr.. Hager secured more
appointments through the war depart
ment than any Iowa member except
Mr.. Hull, whose craftsmanship placed
him on especially close relations with
the department, and it is to his own
credit and the honor of the district
that all haye proven unusually compe
tent and are likely to retain theil
places under the reorganization. III
fact, in all the muss that has been
stirred up about the management o.
the war, ETC., no blame has fallen OF
any officer from Iowa.
Discussion of the er-oceanic cana
seems always to take turn favorable
to that project and it is quite probable
that it will be authorized. Doubt as t.
the practicability of its construction
seems to have been almost entirel
eliminated, but there is still some cues
ton as to whether it would ever prov
Z paying investment. 1t is contende,
that there is great deal of trade TO
