London, March Further inquiries
made on the subject confirm the report
cabled of the sale of the two cruisers
which the Armstrong; have been build
ing for Brazil to Spain. The inquiries
further show that a representative of
the Chilian government has been nego-
tiating with a representative of the
Spanish government for the sale of the
battleship O'Higgins, built by the Arm
strongs for Chill, and II is believed
that a deal is practically completed
whereby this splendid warship passes
into SPANS possession.

Crisis Hinges on Report.

The real crisis, 1t is thought, hinges
on the report of the board of inquiry,
which will be deferred until conditions
are ripe. Secretary Longs way Of open
ing the business of the navy depart
ment is not warlike. The president did
not see the secretary or Judge Day in
the early morning, which the observers
through the several weeks Of war ru-
mors, have learned is a sure sign that
no warming correspondence has been
received. When Secretary Long or the
assistant secretary of the state depart
ment puts on his hat and gathers a
bundle Of papers under his arms and
starts for the white house one does not
have to consult the weather map to
learn that scare heads are in order and
a slump in stocks at hand. But every
thing was unusually serene.
The real trend of official opinion could
be gained from the talk among subordi-
mates of the navy passing between their
offices to venture suggestions and from
senators and representatives who had
field day for gossip, both houses. In the
absence of alarming reports, having de-
cided to take a recess The situation
for a week has been growing quieter
around the executive departments but
gathering force and a feeling of unrest
in other quarters among heads of de-
partments in the army and navy and
state, and senators and representatives
who hear nothing of absolute fact, but
see and hear so much Of hurried ap-
peals for appropriations and general in
crease Of the army and navy strength
that they are forced to draw a serious

Disaster Causes Activity.


Disaster Causes Activity.
New York, March IA Washington
dispatch says: Consul General Lees
declaration Of the belief that the explo-
sion which sent the battleship Maine to
the bottom of Havana harbor was ex-
ternal, has had its effect on the officials
who will have to deal with the question
Of redress. While General Lees testi-
mony cannot be accepted as a basis for
representations to Spain. due weight
has been given the serious statement
he has made and it has naturally been
constructed as a warning of what may
come from the court Of inquiry. OFF,
GERS of the government do not deny
that the present activity In military
and naval circles is due to the Maine
disaster, although they profess to be-
lieve that everything will be settled am
icably.
One of the most prominent members
Of the administration, man who has
occupied and still occupies an extreme
ly conservative position in the Maine
matter. admitted that no time was be-
ing lost in making offensive and de-
fensive arrangements. II would not do
of course, for an official of the United
States to publicly state that this gov
ernment was making preparations OF
going to war with Spain, or even taxi
ing precautionary measures to guard
its interests in the event of hostilities
with that country. Such declaration
is considered by nations as ground for
an immediate resort to arms by the
government at which II is directed, and
Spain would be justified, according to
precedent, In demanding an explanation
from the United States or striking the
first blow without any parley.

now been abandoned. The attorneys
for the district will, instead, rush the
suit to a conclusion as soon as pos
sible and then appeal. They will con-
tend that under circumstances such as

detectives, 1t is impossible to secure a

New Orleans. March IA special
from Norfolk, Va. reports the loss Of
the powerful tug Underwater OF ,Bos-

tug left Norfolk with the derrick Chief
in tow for Havana, where the vessels
were to help in the work Of raising the
Maine.
The big derrick Chief. which the I'm
derwriter was towing. is said to be the
most powerful vessel of that class
afloat, and was sent to Havana chiefly
for the purpose of raising the turrets,
cannon, and other heavy portions Of
the Maine. The loss Of the Underwrit-
er means a further setback to the work
now in progress on the battleship at
the bottom Of Havana harbor.

Joliet, Ills, March Judge Hilscher
dismissed the contempt proceedings
brought against julius S. Lins, the
wealthy Wilmington brewer, in the
midst of a scene OF disorder and ex-
citement. The court room was packed
to the doors by friends and acquaint-
ances of the man accused Of tampering
with the jury in the land condemnation
case, When the court announced that
after considering the nature of DR..
Lins' answers to the questions OF States
Attorney Heise he could do nothing else
than discharge the defendant there was
a murmur of approval among the rep
resentative Joliet men in the room and
there was difficulty in restraining the
throng from breaking into open ap-
plause.
Surrounded by His Friends.
Lins himself was surrounded by
friends, who heaped congratulations
upon him. The court bailiffs raped
for order and Attorney Haley, repre-
senting the drainage board, asked Judge
Hilscher to discharge Juror Beland, as
a result of the developments brought
out within the past week. Beland is an
employe of DR.. Lins, and it was this
juror with whom the accused man had
been implicated in the alleged plot to
mulct the sanitary district out of thou
sands OF dollars. The court also over
ruled this question and further ordered
that the trial of the condemnation
cases should go on with the present
jury next Monday morning. This an
nouncement again aroused the enthusi-
asm of those who felt Joliet's integrity
was at stake in the matter.
A Complete vindication.
The property owners involved in the
case and the best people Of Joliet gen.

Hilscher to be a complete vindication

HAVE FAITH IN GERMANY.
Rumor of Landing Force at Manila
Discredited by State Department

Rumor of Landing a Force at Manila
Discredited by State Department.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The report
that Germany has landed naval force
at Manila is discredited in the most
positive manner at the state depart
ment and in the best informed diplo-
matte quarters. 1t is looked upon as a
part of the persistent foreign propa.
ganda inspired from Madrid, which for
weeks has been seeking to stir up ami
mostly between the United States, Ger
many, France and other countries.
That the report is purely conjectural
is shown from the fact that there is no
cable communication out of Manila,
and even Admiral Dewey. who holds
the shore end of the cable has not been
heard N in some days. The authori
ties here lake strong grounds in main
tanning that the good faith of Germany
cannot be questioned in her assertions
of neutrality.
