ROCK ISLAND-U. p. WAR.
Union Pacific Flyer Abandoned All
But Mail Car on Last Nights
Denver Run.

The race between the Union Pacific
and Rock Island roads from Kansas
City to Denver, resulted in the Union
Pacific uncouphng all but the mail car
of the fast train at Ellis last night and
running with that car alone on special
time to Denver. The special train ar
rived there at 9:05 this morning, an
hour and So minutes ahead of the Rock
Island fast train!
The Rock Island management now
proposes to cut the schedule for the
fast train, without reducing the num-
Der of cars, so that Denver will be
reached at 9 o'clock instead of 10:4O
O'Clock. and it is probable that the fast
train out of Kansas City tomorrow
night will start on this schedule.
They believe that it has been demon
strated that the Union Pacific is I'M
equal to compete with the Rock Island
with the equipment of the regular train,
and propose to equal it's time even ii
the former road changes the fast train
from a passenger train to mail train
and makes the run with but one car.
The government has transferred the
mail to the Rock Island, and the man
agement of that road intends to see
that it does not go back to the Union
Pacific because of better time.
New time cards will go into effect on
both roads tomorrow 1t is not known
what reduction VIII be made in the Tn
ion Pacific time, but the Rock Island
people have practically decided to re-
duce the time between Kansas CITY
and Denver to 13 hours and 80 min

HAvANA's FLOATING DOCK.
1t Rises With the Alphonso XII
Without a Hitch.

Havana, March 23.-The floating dock,
with the cruiser Alfonso XII, rose with
out mishap. All the machinery is work
ing nicely and her crew are busy clean
ing the bottom of the vessel, but the dock
will not be accepted until more fully
tested by a heavier ship Some minor de-
fects in the construction of the dock have
been noted, but nothing vital
The Wrecking contract divers have been
busy on the Maine raising the two six
inch guns from the after cabin and with
great difficulty getting ammunition from
the magazine aft. In doing this the
divers are compelled to go down through
the turret aft in a narrow chute, and then
along the deck to the magazine opening.
They are liable to be jammed, and great
care is taken. 1t may be necessary to
cut a hole through the decks direct into
the magazine. Moreover the divers are

MKINLEY WANTS TIME.
Will Handle the Maine Question First
and Separately

Washington, March 23.-Speaking of
the Cuban situation, the Post says:
Having formulated no plan to solve
the problem and being anxious to gain
all the time possible the president will
not immediately make any suggestion
TO congress The message which he
Will send in on Monday will treat alone
OF the Maine and congress will be in
formed that the president will, at a
later date, communicate with it on the
Cuban situation The report of the
Maine and the accompanying papers
will, therefore, be at once referred in
both houses to the committee on for
eign affairs and then congress will anx-
1ously and patiently await the presi-
dents next recommendation.
If the policy of relief be finally agreed
upon an appropriation will undoubt-
edly be made for the purchase of sup
plies and the work of wholesale sue
cor will be entered upon. If Spain
should regard this act as a hostile one,
the responsibility for provoking war
would be upon her. The president still
hopes that in the meantime something
may occur to diminish the likelihood
of opposition, or if the program is in
augurated, that Spain will accept the
action of the United States in a friend
ly spirit.

RECRUITS ARE SCARCE.
Lake Cities Will Be Visited by Naval
Officers to Secure Men.

Washington. March 23-One of the most
active branches of the navy department
just now is that engaged in the enlistment
of recruits for various positions in the
service. Yesterday notice was given by
advertisement that recruiting stations
would be opened at a number of cities,
mostly on the coast Today. in response
to representa- ions that have come to
hand, the enlistment bureau gave notice
that a board of officers would be detailed
to visit various cities in the vicinity of
the great lakes, where it is said there are
a number of persons who would be will
ing to enter the service
Many of them are ScandinavianS who
have been at sea in their native countries.
The board will consist of Lieutenant ST.
mon Cook Surgeon A. McClurg and an
engineer officer and boatswain who have
not yet been named. They will visit St
Paul, Duluth, Milwaukee and Chicago.
Word comes to the department that the
recruiting board which has been at work
at New Orleans has accomplished good
results. Fifty men were enlisted at that
place and they are to be shipped promptly
to New York.
From New Orleans the board goes to
Galveston to continue its work. The quail
fications requisite for enlistment are I'M
usually severe. which accounts for the
limited number of men so far recruited,
although some notifications are made in
the case of sailors who have heretofore
been in the service.

ENGLAND SCENTS WAR.
Merchant Vessels Ordered to Obtain
War Clause in Their Charters.

New York, March 23.-The Evening
World says: An ominous sign that
the strained relations between the Uni
ted States and Spain will result in war,
is furnished by English shipowners who
have cabled to their agents here that
all charters must obtain the war
clause
This clause, which is posted in the
maritime exchange as follows:
1T is understood this steamer is to be
only employed in strictly neutral trade;
is not to carry contraband cargo, or
trade with ports declared under block
ade; also in the event of war being de-
clared by or against Great Britain by
a maritime power, this charter is to be
null and void at the end of the then
current voyage

All the streams about Nashville, Ill,

THE BRIDGE IS ALL RIGHT.
Cracking Cement is No Cause fol
Alarm

Many people who have walked over
the new Kansas avenue bridge have
noticed that the cement in the side
walks is giving away in several places
and that it appears to have been put
down carelessly
There are two or three pieces on the
walks where the cement is broken so
as to make good sized holes and people
take this as an evidence that the bridge
is a failure.
County Commissioner Rodgers said
today in speaking of the weakness in
the construction of the walks: THE
board provided against that The
walks We're built when the weather was
rather cold and some fear was ex-
pressed that the cement might not set
The board accordingly withheld enough
money from the contract price to paw
for repairing the walks.
The walks will be put in good shape
as soon as the weather Settles

hours in Chicago on his way back to

say a great deal in addition. He told
nothing but the bare truth, the condi-

A CLEAN SWEEP.
The President Will Settle the Whole
Cuban Question While About It.

Washington. March 23.-While no one
having knowledge of the matter is will
ing to speak for the president, it is be-
lieved that the question of arbitration in
connection with the disaster to the Maine
is no longer under discussion. The re
cent speech of Senator Proctor seems to
have cleared the minds of the members of
the administration as to the real cause in
Cuba and it is now believed that the dis
aster to the Maine will be treated only
as an incident to the main question. It
is asserted that the two are so intimately
connected that one necessarily involves
the other and it is believed to be the presi-
dents purpose to bring about, in what
ever action he may now take, a settle
ment of the whole question.
Whether this involves a war with Spain
rests with Spain herself.

WANTS SHIPS NOW.
Finds Purchasab1e Ones
Far From Completion.

Washington, March 23.-The navy de-
partment has purchased no further ships
abroad and the negotiations are not pro-
ceeding in a manner to promise success.
1t was definitely determined today that
the Chilean battIeship General o. Higgins
could not be secured. Commander Brown
son is tOdy in Paris. after having inspect
ed the Brazilian ships now building at
La Siene. While these might be secured
they are a long way from completion and
could be of little service at present. What
the department wants is ships which can
be commissioned at once
