To Replace the Maine.

The disaster of the Maine has
aroused feeling among members in
favor of extreme liberality in appro-
priations for the naval and military
establishments, the practical result of
which is likely to be the acceptance by
the house with little contest of the
senate amendments, increasing the
appropriation for Notifications about
s., ,0OO, 900, the authorization in the
naval appropriation bill of two battle
ships instead of one and possibly the
authorization of the entire dry dock
scheme recommended by the dry dock
board appointed by the secretary of
the navy. The recommendation of
the secretary was for only one ad-
dition to the navy this year-a first
class battleship, but the loss of the
Maine makes it likely that appropria-
tions for two batt1eships will be re-
ported by the naval committee.

RUMORS OF WAR.
The Grave Aspect Of the Situa>
ton Increases.
The Mines are There. The Minnea-
polls Floated. Terror goes 60 Sea-

Late advices via Key West are to
the effect, that the Court of INQUIRY
will soon complete its labors. Presi-
dent Mckinley has declared that no.
thing will be done until the court has
submitted its report. In the mean
time, active preparations are being
made for war, and the fleet is being
mobolized for active service.
The Court of Inquiry held its usual
session Saturday. Captain Simpson
reports that Chaplain Chadwick was
examined as to his personal expert
ences at the time of the disaster to the
Maine, and that the testimony was
taken of the captain of British bark
in the harbor, and the superintendent
of the West India Oil works, the Brit
ish engineer of the floating dock in
the harbor, wrote letter to the court,
but it is said, did not add anything
material to what was known. At the
afternoon session the divers we're ex-
amined more fully than before. Their
testimony is taken from day to day.

can passage can be found in old docu-
ments contained in the archives of
Havana. Finally the Spaniards in
sist that this passage does not 60 uu-
der the harbor at any point. Under the
surface there seems to be deep feel
ing of unrest. No one believes that
autonomy is or can be anything ex-
cept name, and there is still more
deep rooted belief that the United
States will not suffer the present con-
ditiou of things to continue much
longer.
An American officer of rank suffi.
cient to entitle him 10 take command
of ship, is authority for the state
meut, that a Spanish navel officer
some time ago, sold to the Washing
ton State department a map of Hava-
ma harbor, showing submarine mines.
The Spanish residents deny this state
ment, and say that the mines exist
only in imagination. The Cubans,
on the other hand, claim that there
are mine galleries under the harbor,
leading from subterranean passages
known to have existed for years, be-
tween FIT. Cabanas and Moro Castle
and Havana.

War Would Split Spain.

r. w. Turner, consul to Cadiz under
President Harrison, in discussing
Spain today said: "If war should be
declared, the Spanish monarchy would
not survive six months. The Spanish
army and resources are now depleted.
The army has for years been saturated
with republicanism, and during all
that time the Carlists have been
watching and waiting for an oppor-
tunity to overthrow the present gov
ernmeut. Any grave crisis in the
affairs of Spain means civil war. 1t
is true that a declaration of war made
by the United States might have the
effect of unifying the different factions
of the Spanish nation, but it could be
for short time only. 1t is my belief
that within a year both Cuba and
Spain will be republics.
"After the first wave of enthusiasm
which would be occasioned by war
with the United States had subsided,
ali the present and the then aggra-
waited evils existing in Spain would be
charg ed to the account of the present
reigning family, and Carlists and Re
publicaus would unite against it in a
great civil war, which would finally
give the Republicans control, as they
are more numerous than the Carlists,
and ia the end the present monarchists
would favor the Republicans. Mad
rid, Barcelona, zaragosa, Cadiz, Sc
vile, and many other Spanish cities
are Republican, and have several
times elected, in each and every dis
trict, Republicans to the Spanish
cortes. After every Republican tri
umph at the polls, the papers of that
party have openly addressed editorials
to the queen regent, demanding in
such language as "Take the northern
express, and, with your sickly boy,
HE away to the banks of the Danube
blue. The monarchy is at an end.
Be warned by the fall of Mary Stuart
and Maria Antoinette while there is
yet time
"On such occasions the papers we're
quickly suppressed and the editors
thrown in prison."

Chicago Saloons.

No one familiar with life in the
great cities of this country needs to be
told of the frightful number of saloons
which have been permitted to exist
within municipal limits, nor of the
long list of crimes which may be
traced with a trail of blood to their
doors. So used have we become to
the evils that the sensibilities of many
good citizens, men who detest wrong
and love civic purity, have almost be-
come callous to the presence of these
struments of the devil. Convinced
that in city like New York, Boston
or Chicago, it is impossible to eradi-
cate the evil entirely, we have gone
about our business and religious duties
forgetru1 of the fact that while chris
tian people too often are Indifferent,
the owners of breweries and distIl-
leries, the saloon-keepers and the devil,
partner in them all, are active in
season and out of season, day and
night, week days and Sundays, within
the limits of the law and, when nee
essary, in defiance of its mild provis-
ions, in pushing their traffic in drink
and human souls.
Of late the saloons in the central
portion of Chicago have become such
fragrant violators of public decency
that even the police department has
been able to discover the fact that they
were breaking city ordinances. For
few weeks, upon orders from head
quarters, down town saloons have
been obliged, in some instances, to
close their doors at midnight, although
policemen have declared that this
sometimes meant locking into the den
until morning the crowd of drunken
jewellers and dissolute women already
there, permitting them uninterrupted
to carry on their debauch until day
break.
The late grand jury of Cook county,
within the bounds of which county
the city of Chicago is situated, became
so aroused over the evils of open sa-
looms as the breeders of crime and a
agencies for debauching the city's
better life, that to a man they signed
report which arraigns the
saloons as the breeders of crimes
and the means by which, through the
enormous cost of the crime-detecting
and crime-Punishing branches of gov
ernment, taxes are Increased and the
poor made to suffer.

The House devoted itself strictly to
business Saturday and disposed of
thirty additional pages of the sundry
civil appropriation bill. The fact that
the government is preparing for con-
tingencies was recognized in the
House today when Chairman Cannon,
who has been laboring to keep down
appropriations, accepted without a
work of protest an amendment to in
crease the apr opriation to care for
the unused machint ry at the SPRING
fed arsenal. Mr.. Gillette explained
the necessity for using this machinery
might occur at any time. Resolutions
which were obj C eI to few weeks
ago for the appointment of two extra
naval cadets to positions in the en-
gineer corps of the navy were also
odopted. One of them will fill a va
cancy caused by the death of Lieuten-
ant Merritt of the Maine.

racy and plutocrscy, it would lose the
respect and confidence of those who
now look to it as an efficient means of
restoring government of the people.
To turn from its clear and courageous
enunciations to wallow again in the
mire of ambiguity and deception
would ALLEVIATE those who have been
drawn to it by the platform of 1896.
The democratic party could have re-
tanned within ats folds the deserters of
1896, if it had consented to a meaning
less platform, but it preferred to lose
some members of the body rather than
have the whole body destroyed. Re-
generation did not come too soon. The
gold democrats were rapidly making
the party a! rival of the Republican
party for the favor of trusts and mon
.opolies. If the Chicago platform did
nothing else, it drove from the party
those who had been manipulating the
party for private gam and using the
government for public plumber. There
dIC OI InCSc OcSSII6IS whose re-
turn to the party would bring weak
ness rather than strength, and there
are millions of Democrats who would
not surrender a single line of the
Chicago platform to recover every
deserter who left because of real an
tagonism to the principles set forth
in that platform. do not refer to
those who were mis1ed. There are
many who left because they did not
fully understand the issues raised,
and they are coming back of their own
accord, because they find themselves
in sympathy with our platform
The party can win more voters by
steadfastly standing by the right,
than by weakly compromising with
error, and those won back to the
platform will be useful when they re-
return, while those who profess at
tachment to the democratic name
rather than to democratic principles
will always require watching.
The democratic party has put its
hand to the plow, and, unless 1 mis-
take the spirit which animates the
members, it will not look back.

MINNEAPOLIS AFLOAT.
The Big Cruiser Leaves PHILADELPHIA
Dry Dock


Dry Dock.
The United States cruiser Mime
apolis was successfully foated out of
the dry dock at the League island navy
yard at high tide Friday afternoon.
The floating of the cruiser was wit
messed by nearly thousand people.
The Minneapolis has been in dry
dock since last December, partly to
avoid the ice in the river and also to
have necessary repairs made to her
bottom. The schoolship Saratoga will
be placed in dry dock for repairs.
Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary, there is no unusual activity
at this yard beyond the extensive inn
provements that are being made to
the back channel, which is to be used
as fresh water basin for vessels of
the navy. The receiving ship Rich
mond is besieged daily by applicants
for enlistment, but very few are now
being taken.
Bes des the Minneapolis, there are
now at League island the cruiser
Columbia, the monitor Miantonomah h
and the ram Katahdin, all out of com
mission at present. There are also
eight old monitors at the navy yard,
all OF them relics of the civil war, but
which could be fitted up quickly in
case they were needed.
