A Special TO the New York Herald
Asserts This.
NEW YORK, Feb uarY 25.-''There
is no longer any reason to doubt that
the explosion which wrecked the bat
tleship Maine came from underneath, {"
is the statement in a dispatch from a
special correspondents report to the
Herald in Havana today. This is ab.
solute evidence obtained by Ensign
PQwelson of the Fern. He is con-
vinced that one member OF the court of
inquiry, who has been heretofore 10.
clined to give the accident theory the
benefit of the doubt, Is now convinced
that the disaster was due to outside in
fiuence.
The Herald's news this morning is
creating profound impression. The
Herald has heretofore favored Spain,
so it's assertions today are considered
as accurate. The Havana correspond
ents stake their regulations on the as
sertion that the Maine was blown up
by design and the Herald sustsins
them.

The Journal this morning had an in
terview with Prince Bismarck, relative
to the Cuban war. Bismarck declared
his belief that the United States was
not inclined to annex Cuba, having
enough Catholic popu alton now.
''Should an attempt be made" he said,
"to arbitrate the situation between
Spain aud the United States, Spain
would doubtless only accept the pope
as arbitrator while the United States
would prefer the king of Sweden"

Time tOnWait for Time.


Time t0n.Wait for Time.
WASHINGTON, February 25.-Pend-
ing the receipt of the report from the
naval board of inquiry, news at the cap
itol concerns chiefly the phenomenal
activity IN the work of preparation for
war. At every seaport army post,
navy yard and 10 every factory devot-
ed to thu manufacture of war material
is display of energy such as has not
been witnessed since the civil war.
Time is the all important question with
the administration now. Every hour
that can be gained is worth weeks of
time later, should declarations of hos
tilities come. The government wants
time for the officials to get safely out
of Havana; wants time for the compile
tioa of the work of the court of inves-
tigation; wants time for saving the b q
guns of the Maine and above all wants
time to push work upon coast
defenses and the great ship yet incom-
plete.

WASHINGTON, February 25:-The
following nominations to Texas politic-
al offices were sent in this morning by
the president to the senate. Moses
Dillon, collector of the port at Ell Paso;
Rooert F. Campbell, postmaster at Ell

postmaster at Dallas; DR.. John Grant,
marshal for the eastern district of Tex
as: James J. Haynes, collector of the
port at Corpus Christi.
DIR. John Grant in an interview to
the Houston Post says that Messrs.
Hawley and Green would be allowed to
control all the postoffices in their res
pective districts. but did not cay how
much in other districts they would con-
troll, nor what his share would be. He
said Moses Dillon's appointment to the
collectorship at Ell Paso would be q dis
tinct victory for Mark Hanna, who
had promised the place to a friend of
Huntington had indorsed Dillon.
While this may be true,
The Post correspondent has excellent
authority for saying that Dillon's ap-
pointment, if made, will be charged
up to E. 81. r Green as part OF his
quota. DR.. Grants man was Colonel
Bob Campbell, but he said he ap-
pealed to Colonel Campbell to with
draw as a special request from their
national leader, Mark Hanna, for the
reasons above stated, and that Camp
bell Loyalty did SO, and then refused
the postOffice because he had indOrsed
another man, until Grant assured him
the other man could not get it.

OUR new RAILROADS
THEIR ENTRANCE TO KANSAS CITY
TO BE CELEBRATED.
On September I the Commercial Club
and Other Commercial OrEan-
fxatiOns Will Entertain
Railway officials.

The Commercial Club intends to properly
celebrate the securing of Kansas Citys
position as the largest railroad center in
the world.
The entertainment committee of the club
met yesterday afternoon and made partial
arrangements concerning the celebration OF
this great event in the history of the city.
They decided to invite the general officials
of the St. Louis & San Francisco and the
st. Joseph & Grand Island Railroad Com
panies to be the guests of the club on Sep
tember !, the day the Frisco line brings in
its first train. The officials will be rendered
a public dinner or banquet on that day and
on the next day, if the weather is good.
they will be taken in carriages about the
city to view all its points of interest. The
banquet will be given by the Commercial
Club. but all the commercial organizations
in the city will be invited to participate
in il upon exactly the same footing as the
Commercial Club members. The board Of
trade, the Live Stock exchange, the Build
ers and Traders exchange. the Manufac-
turers' Association, the Fruit and Produce
Association and all similar associations will
be invited. and the gathering will be one
fully representing the large and varied bus
iness interests of Kansas City.
The Commercial Club and all the business
men in Kansas City feel that the entrance
of the Grand Island and Frisco roads is a
very important event in the history Of
Kansas City. Not only does it make this
nominally the largest railroad center in
the world. in point of the number of lines
and number of systems accredited to the
city. but the two roads themselves open up
wonderfully rich territory to our trade:
They will bring in immense amounts of
grain. live stock, hay and produce. of all
kinds and will open large markets for our
manufacturers and jobbers. The celebra-
tion of the entrance of these two roads into
Kansas City Is something every resident
of the city will be interested in.

NEGROES IN STRIKERS PLACES
Operators at Pana, Ill, Determined to
Work Their Mines-Depu-
ties on Guard.

PANA, I'LL. Aug. 2i.-Sheriff Coburn
assembled 125 deputies In the city hall to-
day, swore them all in and gave them In
structions to reassemble, armed with VIM
chesters, and meet a number of negroes
expected to arrive from Alabama to work
here in the coal mines. Ten negroes ar
rived in Pana last night to take the places
of white miners here, who have been on
strike for several months. The negroes
were escorted to the city limits by COM
mittee of miners and induced to leave
town. The strikers are being reinforced by
union miners from over the state. The
strikers to-day assembled near the Illi-
nois Central railway tracks in large bodies
awaiting the arrival of the negroes.
During the day a special train arrived In
Pana from Birmingham, Ala. with 20
negroes. The train was rushed through
the city to the Springside coal mine, out
side the city limits. where the negroes were
unloaded under the guard Of deputy sher-
ifs.
Several hundred miners were at the
Union depot to meet the miners and talk
with them. but were una-.e to do SO. All
the grounds at the Springside mines are
heavily guarded and no citizens are per-
mitted to pass the lines. The strike lead
ers have requested Governor Tanner to
take action regarding the mining efficiency
of the negroes. and he has answered that
he will send state mine inspectors to ex-
anime the men.
