FACTS COME OUT.
Full Details of the Method by the
Maker of the Mine.

New York, April 8-Joseph Paul
Gibbons, the electrician who supplied
submarine mines to the Spanish gov
eminent, cables from London to the
World:
The only submarine mines which
nave been supplied to the Spanish gov
eminent since 1867, were manufact-
ured under my own patents.
L then supplied them with Sc ground
mines, 25 buoyant mines, each with a
charge of 500 pounds of gun cotton and
Is electric contact mines, exploded
either by contact or by observation
from shore, each containing a charge
of 100 pounds of gun cotton.
The mines sent to Havana would
still retain full effectiveness. They will
last under water for an indefinite peri
In 1867 the Spanish government or
dered a fresh supply of my patent
mines. Whether they went to Havana
or not is immaterial.
One of the mines supplied in 1886 is
still fully capable of causing the de-
struction of the Maine.
In fact, I am convinced, from all sur
rounding circumstances, that no other
agency could have caused it.
In direct contradiction of the asser-
lions of the secretary of the Spanish le
cation at Washington and of General
Weyler that there are no submarine
mines in Havana harbor, I absolutely
affirm that I shipped the above mines
for Havana and FerrOl in a Spanish
ship, the property of the Spanish gov
eminent, and differed by Spanish ma
val officers, with two captains at the
West India dock, London.
My mines are in electrical connection
with the shore, and it is quite impoSsi-
BILE that they could be exploded except
by design.
I am convinced also that the explo-
sion of the mine which destroyed the
Maine was the work of one or two men,
for these reasons:
First-A vessel swinging, either an
chored for moored upon striking the
circuit closer case would merely drop a
shutter on the keyboard on shore, warn
ing the officer in charge that she was in
contact with the mine.
Second-Before the officer is in a po-
sition to fire the mine he must obtain
one of two keys One generally is kept
by the commandant, the other by the
officer in charge of the firing station.
He then must unlock the glass door
over which the shutter has fallen
and insert a red danger plug in the in
sulated switch.
Third-He must insert a plug in the
switch of the firing battery earth plate.
Fourth-The firing key hammer must
be pressed on to the contact anvil to
complete the circuit that eXplodeS the
detonator, by which the mine in turn is
exploded.
I have not the slightest hesitation in
saying that the Maine was deliberately
destroyed with a five hundred pound
ground mine as invented and supplied
by me.
I am satisfied that the explosion was
caused by a ground mine-not by
buoyant mine-for Havana harbor is
latter 1 am prepared to satisfy by
demonstration any jury of reasonable
men that this is a true explanation of
the destruction of the Maine.

CENSUS PATRONAGE.
$4,000 Worth of Tt to Be Distribut-
ed in Seventh District

Wichita, Kan, April 8.-For a long
time, the people have wondered, why
the push in this congressional district
are straining every effort, to secure the
nomination of Chester l. Long, while
they know that Jerry Simpson can beat
Long If nominated. The hackers of
Long, desire to continue in control of
the postoffice patronage, of the Seventh
congressional district Long is the
postoffice referee of the district, and it
seems that Senator Baker has been
very glad to shoulder this responsibility
onto Long. 1t now transpires that the
postohice patronage of the district is
not all they have in view. If Long is
nominated, whether elected or not, he
Will control and dispense the census
patronage of 1900. This patronage, in
so large a district as the Seventh, with
SO counties, is far reaching and will in
volve the expenditure of at least $780,
0OO
First and foremost, there would be a
supervisor of the census for the district,
ana Jim DobSon, one of Leland'S fol-
lowers, has his eye on this juicy plum.
Then each county would have a super
visor, and each township and ward,
would have an enumerator This pat
ronage would be far reaching and re-
munerative, and the Long men propose
to control it, and rumor says they have
already farmed this patronage out
among the faithful followers of the
gang.

Philadelphia, Pa, April S.-A careful
research among the archives of the
American Philosophical society of this
Declaration of Independence in Jeffer-
sons own handwriting, amended by the
committee of which he was chairman,
presented to congress June %, 1776, and
adopted July 4.
DR.. J. M. Hayes, librarian of the So
ciety, has for some time been making a
careful investigation of the history of
the paper, and brought out the fact
that its complete Identification was
made in 1925 by John Vaughn, then Ii
brarian of the society, who wrote to
Jefferson for that purpose.
The document was presented to. the
society by the grandson of Richard
Henry Lee, who stated that it was
sent to his grandfather July 8, 1776, and
had been kept among the Lee family
papers. Jefferson wrote Librarian
Vaughn that the document presented
by Mr.. Lee was one of the two copies
he made from the original draft. The
other copy was reported to congress.
What became of it is not known.
The formal declaration to which the
signatures were attached is in
state 1t was brought to this city CEN

heavy plate glass door,
The society's document is on four
pages of FOOLS cap, written on both

NEGROES ARE ANGRY.
Colored Militiamen of Indiana to Be
Mustered Out of Service.

Indianapolis, Ind, April S.-Orders
were issued today from the adjutant
generals office to have each company
recruit new men to its full complement
of "a.
The negroes here are very indignant
over a proposition to increase the two
cOlOred companies to four and organize
them into a separate battalion. This
was refused by the negroes, who insist
ed upon being attached to a white reg
iment so the negro officers could be in
line of promotion and eventually COM
mand white troops.
The governor and officers of the guard
would not listen to such a proposition
The negroes now will all be mustered
out
They are very angry at the officials
and say it is the worst slap they ever
got. They hold the political balance of
power in this city and state.

MANHATTAN TYPHOID.

A report of the recent epidemic of
typhoid fever at Manhattan has been
sent to the state printer by Dr. II. II.
Gill, secretary of the state board of
health and will be issued in pamphlet
form. During the epidemic there were
about 100 cases of the fever, and 10
deaths.
The fact that Manhattan is without a
proper sewerage system is declared in
the report to be the cause of the cpl
denic. 1t is reasoned that as the av
rage economic loss of a life is equal to
S.. OOO and at this rate the is deaths
represented an ultimate loss of SSO,00O
the citv could much better afford to
build a sewerage system than to allow
the present condition to continue.
