SHUTTING OFF COAL.
Spain Will Be Unable to Get Fue,
for Warships in the West Indies.

New York, April 1S.-In directing
her colonies to regard coal as contra
band of war in the event of hostilities
between the United States and Spain,
Great Britain has taken action, admin
istratiOn officials say, in line with the
wishes of the President and naval au-
thorities, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the Herald Pressure will
be exerted on France. Hayti and San
Domingo to accomplish the same result
and some attention is being given by
the State Department to South Ameri-
can countries with a view to securing
from them a declaration Of the contra
band character of coal, as we'll as an an
nounced determination on their part
not to sell either to Spanish or Ameri-
can men-of-war supply of fuel greater
than that necessary to steam TO the
next home port
So far as the Danish West Indies are
concerned, the authorities have pur-
chased in their ports all the coal it is
possible to secure. With coala de-
clared contraband of war, administra-
will be impossible for Spanish vessels
to operate in the West Indies or in the
Pacific, and as a result, the chances of
success for American arms will be i'm
measurably enhanced.
Great Britain's declaration will affect
the United States al one point, the far
east The United States has now at
Hong Kong a fleet Of six vessels-the
cruisers Baltimore, Olympia. Raleigh
and Boston, and the gun boats Concord
and Petrel-and these ships are await
ing the word to rush to Manila. If
the Notifications of the Philippines
should stand off the American feet for
any length Of time the operations of the
vessels would be greatly embarrassed,
for, by England's declaration. her colo
nists will be only allowed TO sell to
either belligerent supply sufficient to
take him to his home port.
Approaching the position assumed by
the British government, Commander
Dewey. acting under instructions from
Secretary Long, has purchased large
quantity and has stored it on board two
golfers which will accompany his fleet
to the Philippines. Extended opera
tions would necessitate renewal of the
supply and the central position of Ha-
waii is pointed to by naval experts who
want ii for a naval base. Hawaii is f.,
coo miles from the Philippines. Her
position in the family Of nations would
compel her to observe strict neutrality
and not to favor one belligerent more
than another. but her annexation to
the United States. it is pointed out,
would result in placing supplies to the
Asiatic squadron 2,G00 miles nearer to
the vessels than would be the case if
coal. munitions of war. etc. had TO be
shipped from the United States. 1t is
also pointed out that Hawaii will find
it necessary to sell coal TO Spanish
vessels coming in at Honolulu sufficient
to take it a portion of the way to its
next home port, just as she would sell
coal to an American ship.
In the event that coal is declared con-
traband of war by France, Hayti and
San Domingo naval authorities say it
will be impossible for Spanish vessels
to secure fuel in the West Indies.

said to Have u cminated the Commission
Special 10 the Register.
Charleston, W. Va, April 1S.-The
explosion of a very large bomb-shell
is expected to be heard in Clarksburg
when the Board OF Directors of the
Asylum for Incurables meet there to-
morrow Certain prominent citizens
from various sections Of the State VIII
he there to protest against the eXpen-
diture Of any money il the erection
Of a building for the asylum in Hunt
ington. They will base their protest
on evidence that the city OF Hunting
ton, in which the asylum was located
has not complied and will not comply
With the promises of aid made to the
commission appointed to locate the
asylum. Another ground of objection
Is that the institution was not located
and the title of the necessary real
estate was not secured by the COM
mission within four months, the time
specified in the acting creating the asy-
lum. See 19 Of Chap. of the acts of
1887 reads:
A commission consisting of the
State treasurer and one member from
each Congressional district of the
State. to be appointed by the Cover
nor shall within four months after
This act becomes in force as law,
select such locality as it may deem
best as the site for the West Virginia
Asylum for Incurables. and procure a
good title to such site and report
'heir action to the Governor as soon
as such selection is made and the title
procured"
The act was passed, and the Cover
nor appointed James H. Mclntire, of
Wetzel, for the First district John w
Davis, of Taylor, for the Second dis
flct; Ex-Governor MacCorkle, of Kan
4Wha, for the Third district; and Judge
I. j. Jackson. of Wood, for the
Fourth district. which, with State
treasurer Kendall, CT Wood. made the
ave commissioners, two of them being
from Parkersburg. Subsequently John
W. Davis resigned, and the Governor
appointed Stark i. Baker, of Ran
dclph, TO take his place. The time
specified in the act within which this
commission must locate the asylum
aad secure title to the property expired
On the 18th of September. 1897. A
snort time prior to the expiration of
me time the commission met at the
eapltcl to receive applications of cit
les and towns of the State which
wanted the asylum. The principal

INDIAN GHOST DANCE.

Guthrie. 0. T.. April 1S.-Nearly
LOCO Cheyenne Indians are gathered
on the banks of the North Canadian,
many miles from the agency, holding
a ghost dance.
1t is feared by many that the Indi-
ans, melted by their medicine men, will
take advantage of the absence of the
troops from neighboring forts to start
an uprising TO secure more beef ra-
tions, and in revenge for the enforce
ment of the territorial anti-polygamy
law. which has caused great discon-
tent in the tribe.

DATES TOLD BY PORTRAITS

An interesting paper was read by A
P. Maudsiay recently ON the ancient
Maya Inscriptions of Central America
The nesting took place in one of the
side galleries of the Indian section of
the South Kensinguon Museum, where
Mr.. Maudslsy has set up a number of
enormous casts and relics acquired by
him during his excavation of the re-
mains CT this remote people, whose
date and origin are a constant cause
OF chronological warfare Little more
can 1ba said with certainty of the Mayas
than that they were extinct as a dOmi-
nant race, and that their civilization
was buried in the forests by the time
that Cortes arrived in Mexico. The sub
ject of Mr.. Maudslay's paper was thu
novel Interpretation of the inscription
which has recently been published by
Mr.. Goodman as an appendix to the
"BiClogia COMMUNICATIONS" Mr..
Goodman seems to have hit more by
intuition than study, upon his solution,
which is that the writings are records
of dates expressed by combinations of
faces. 1t has one extraordinary merit,
that the table of chrOnolOgies which he
has drawn up not only tallies with all
the Inscriptions so far discovered, but
even enables doubtful readings to be
corrected. Several remarkalbl cases OF
this were cited by MIR. Maudslay, and
the principle of the notation was ex-
planned from the casts in the gallery

MEN, OR MUTTON?

THAT the Republican, primaries on
Saturday were corrupt is shown by the
extneme dissatisfaction which exists
among the defeated candidates and
their friends, and the disinclination OF
the party leaders to have the ballot-
boxes opened tomorrow.
A relative of McDaniels is authority
for the statement that friend OF
Taylors waited onMcDanielan and offered
him 81 600 il me would not make a com
test. Friends of Stidham declare that
a recount OF the vote viii put him first,
and they specify districts in which
crooked work was done for both Taylor
and Mcdaniel The defeated men are
naturally indignant that they should
have been defeated by fraud and law
lessness.
But 10 the party machine party in
tersst is paramount to personal inter
est. Men who conduct the campaign
are willing to sacrifice Mcdaniel, Std
ham and BRADLEY rather than face the
consequences OF a scandal incident to
a recount. They are bending every en-
orgy To prevent THE opening OF the
boxes and their anxiety only confirms
the public suspicion or wholesale fraud.
Promises OF future prenerment may
lead Mcdaniel Stidham and Bradley 70
acquiesce in the nomination of Taylor,
but only one of the three can profit by
such promises.
Three men are Watching TIE ballot
boxes night and day, so great is the
disTust which exists among the shriev-
atty candidates, and Sheriff Flinn, by
leaving the boxes in the care OF the
representatives of THE rivals has wash
ed his hands of all responsibility for the
showing in case a recount is ordered.
If the boxes ars opened we believe
that some startling disclosures will be
made, and IL is possible that Mcdaniel,
Stidham or Bradley will he found in the
lead. If the defeated men lose this op-
poltunity to secure their rights In the
premises the machine will feel Justified
in working them the same way uwo
years henee; but il they show that
thay, have lighting blood in their veins
and are not disposed to submit to such
fraud and imposition, they will stand
much higher in both public and ma
chime respect. Voters love a fighter,
amid the man who shows the white
feather at time like this will be set
down as coward by both his friends
and his enemies and might just as
we'll go out of politics.
