The vibrations continued fifteen seconds
after the shock was felt and many per-

trcmbled on their foundations, telegraph
and telephone wires were broken and
numberless pnnes Of glass were broken
during the short space of time the shock
was felt. Several hours elapsed before
the fears of the panic-stricken populace
were Quoted and the streets cleared. &c.
we're shocks were felt at Sacramento, San

The shock was confined to northern CAL

the Government sawmill thrown down.
In the town Of Vallejo. just across the
channel, the loss runs into the thousands.
At the University Of California in Berke-
ley the scismograph at the students OBJ
servatory in Berkeley showed that the
shock lasted between thirty and forty sec-
onds. The general direction of the vibra-
ton was from east to west. The instru-
ment showed that the shock was heavy

Washington correspondence:
1t seems apparent that the administ.a-
ton has been lenicnt in its dealings with
Spain. President Mckinley sought to
bring Spain and Cuba to some amicable
arrangement which would satisfy both,
and not be too humiliating to the Spanish
government, but Sagasta temporized and
deceived until at last the President had
to lay down the definite proposition that
the independence of Cuba was the only
satisfactory solution to the American peo-
pie and the United States Congress. Sa-
gasta sought for further delay, but, when
he could not secure that, his ministry sent
a reply which is an insult to the President.
The reply of Sagasta, when stripped Of
its diplomatic verbiage, informs the Uni
ted States that it should at:s:.d to it's

Madrid Experts Dispute Every Claim

The conclusions reached by the Spanish
naval commission which investigated the
destruction of the battleship Maine are
directly opposite to those in the report of
the court Of inquiry submitted to Con-
grcss. The synopsis is as follows:
The evidence Of witnesses comparatively
close to the Maine at the moment is to the
eject that only one explosion occurred; that
that no shock to the side Of the nearest yes.
sci was felt. nor on and was any vibration
noticed. and that no dead fsh were found.
The evidence OF the senior pilot Of the har-

Witnesses. The assistant engineer Of works

ways found dead fish.

own business and not NEEDLE with the af-
fairs of Spain. Spain will not submit
to dictation from this government in the
affairs Of Cuba. She will leave Cuban af-
fairs to the Cuban Parliament and she
will consider the question of amnesty
when the insurgents ask for it. The Span
ish note answering the demands was tel
egraphed from Madrid to the powers, to-
gether with q copy of the American de-
mands.
In this note Sagasta sweeps AWAY all
his diplomatic pretensions of desiring the
help Of the United States in settling the
Cuban question and i%nsolently tells the
President to keep his nose out of other
peoples business. This reply from the
Sagasta ministry was rather stunning, hut
it was no surprise to the members of the
cabinet who have for som time urged
determined action and expressed distrust
of Spain's pretensions Of a desire to end
the war and settle the Cuban question in
a way to satisfy the American people.
Sagasta also added insult to presump-
ton and offered to arbitrate the question
Of the Maine. This was more than the
President could endure with patience. He
had made no demand upon Spain, but had
sent to Sagastn the findings of our court
of inquiry, and left to his own sense of
honor the offer Of n way for treatment of
this question without that of war. But
Sagasta's only reply is that he will submit
this question to arbitration. 1t seems up
parent ut this writing that Sngasta is
ready to end all the differences between
this government and Spain with war, and
hopes to provoke war by insult.

President Mckinley will not unite with
