spaniards in Nervous Mood.


LONDON. March IA despatch to the
Times from Havana says that the Maine
Court of Inquiry has concluded its re-
port. which will be presented 10 Govern
ment at Washington within a fortnight.
Nothing is known regarding the opinion
Of their inquiry.
A dispatch to the Times from Madrid
describes the Spaniards as being in a
nervous mood, their condition being such
that the slightest hint ofgood will from a
foreign paper is clutched at as an earnest
of an impending alliance. They even
heed such ridiculous inventions as the
story that Emperor William declared at
a private dinner that so long as he was
Emperor the Yankees should not possess
Cuba.
The Times correspondent recalls that
there will be two verdicts in the Maine
case. The verdict of the Spanish court
of inqriry is daily expected from Havana.
He says:
"The Spanish Government will find it
Niincuis 10 uiS>eht iI"ih she JuuSihehi oi
its own commission should the reports of
the two courts conflict"
The Times publishes a letter from its
Havana correspondent reviewing the
three disastrous years since the outbreak
of the revolt. He computes that the re-
bellion has cost Spain S5O0,OOO,0OO, while
the drain of men has been equally enor-
nous.
Halfo of the troops sent TO the islands
have'either been returned TO Spain as in
valids or have perished in war or from
disease.

A Thousand Millions More.

The sum of S50,OOO.OOO, appropriated for
defense by the National government, out
of money at the time in the treasury, is a
portentOus blow against the ambition of
any impoverished nation, like Spain, to
make war upon us. Batthe fifty millions
made scarcely drop in the bucket Of
resources ready at hand for the United
States To pour from in case war should
come.
4 thousand millions could be had to-

her husband. While others sleep Kemp

rit.hugA Lee IT.. Returns.

TAMPA. Fla, March l3.-Fitzhugh Lee.
Jr., son Of Consul General Lee, arrived
here late this afternoon on the steamer
Olivette from Havana. He Was reticent
about saying anything revealing official
matters, but made the following state
ment:
''I have been in Havana only ten days,
having gone there to visit my father on
my regular winter vacation. While in
Havana I ascertained a number of facts
concerning the present strained situation
between Spain and the United States. l
am OF opinion that war between the two
countries is imminent, notwithstanding
the fact that diplomacy will be taxed TO
its furthest limit TO prevent it. The
Maine disaster and the attitude Of the
United States Government upon the bel
ligereney question will be the chief in
centives. While the report of the Court
OF Inquiry, now at work in Havana in
vestigating the Maine disaster, has not
been made public, their determination is
probably known to the officials"

WAsHINeroN, March l2-Senator Luis
Polo Y Bernsbe. the new Spanish minis
ter, said yesterday; II am sure the Unit
ed States does not want war, just as I am
sure the Spanish Government does not
want war, and will do everything hon
orable in its power TO avert such calam-
ity"
Speaking Of the present policy of Spain
in giving autonomy TO Cuba, the minister
said:
The government has granted auton-
omy designed to give the Cuban people
the complete direction of their internal
affairs, gratifying the honorable ambition
Of the Cubans. while at the same time
maintaining the historic allegiance of
Gaia as colony of Spain. With the
elections held. Cuba will have for the first
time parliament of her own, capable of
dealing with all her domestic affairs.
Thus ao5mplete plan of local government
will be in operation"

More Unwrittsn Law.

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., March Judge
Smith Of the County Court from the bench
late last evening declared that any man
was justified in killing or attempting to
kill the man who had broken mp his
home and led his wife astray. The Judge
also arraigned the Grand Jury that had
indicted man for shooting the destroyer
of his home. \ short time ago Henry
Neinninger. living short distance from
this city, discovered an intimacy between
his wife and John Mertz. NeinningeT got
a revolver and fired upon Mertz, wound
ing him. Mertz made complaint against
Neinninger, charging him with shooting
with intent to kill and wound. NeinniI g
er was imprisoned and Indicted.
Meanwhile Neinninger had entered
suit against his wife for divorce on the
ground of unfaithfnlness. Last evening
a decree Was granted him, amer " hieh
Neinninger entered a plea OF guilty to the
indictment against him. Judge Smith
sentenced him to pay a fine of 81 and
costs, the minimum penalty. The judge
then scored the grand jury for finding an
indictment in the case, declaring a man
was justified in using a deadly weapon
upon another who had broken up his
home.

Mr.. JoHN WANAMAKER has nnally
made public his determination to be a
candidate for Governor, as viii be seen
by his letter published elsewhere in this
paper. II he is nominated by the Re
publican State Convention, or someone
OF his naming who viii be acceptable
to his faction of the party, he will abide
by the action Of the convention, other
wise he will bolt, and be an independ-
ent candidate. In other words, Mr..
Wanamaker and his followers say to
the Republican voters of the State "Un-
less YOU nominate man of our faction
for Governor we will bolt the conven-
ton, place an independent ticket in
the field, and defeat the regular Repub-
lican nominees"
How different from that of Mr.. Wan
amaker is the course pursued by Col
w. A. Stone, Hon. C. w. Stone, and
the several other aspirants for the gu
bernatorial nomination. All of these
gentlemen have engaged in friendly
contest to secure the nomination, and
are earnestly working for the endorse
ment at the various primary elections
and county conventions. Each one Is
making his own fight, and, failing to
win the nomination for himself, will
Loyalty support the nominee.
The spirit displayed at the Bourse
meeting, called for the purpose of max
ing Mr.. Wanamaker a candidate, and
by the press which endorsed it, and the
disposition shown now by Mr.. Wana-
makers leading hackers, points to the
fact that their real purpcr IS the dis
ruption Of the Republican organization
and the starting of an independent
movement which will throw the State
into the hands of the Democracy.
The stale platitudes in which Mr..
Wanamaker indulges about reform are
all discounted 10y the fact that his cam
paign for election to the United States
Senate a little over a year ago was the
most cOrruptin the politics Of the State.
When he foand it personally and
politically profitable 20 act with Sena-
tor Quay he did 50, and it was only af-
ter a quarrel, brought about by his
greed foT patronage, that he discovered
that Quay, politically, was the prince
of devils and that he, Wanamaker,
was an angel Of light.

GOVERNOR LOSES.
Capitol Building Commission Wins the
Fight.

PHILADELPHIA, March l4.-Gov. Hast
ings fight against the capitol building
commission has been lost, and work upon
the new building can now be proceeded
with. The supreme court this morning
refused to grant the appeal of the COM
monwealih from the Dauphin county
court, asking for preliminary injunction
10 restrain the commission from awarding
contracts for the erection of the building.
In its decision, which was unanimous, the
court says:
''Until it is shown that the commission
ers have exceeded the authority vested in
them by the act Of assembly, as thus
construed by this court. they should be
permitted to proceed in the proper dis
charge Of their duties without further de
lay. A careful consideration of the record
before us has led us 20 the conclusion that
in the absence Of sufficient proof TO over
come the legitimate effect of the defend
ants responsive answers to the material
ayerments OF fact contained in the bill, as
amended, there is nothing to justify the
granting Of a preliminary Injunction"

Combine Caucus.

A conference of combiners was held
in Somerset ON Monday evening, Feb
ruary 2Sth, the first day of last weeks
court, says the Meyersdale Commercial.
At that conference it was decided to
run only two candidates for Assembly
and force all.others off the track. They
fondly hoped that the regulars would
have a half dozen or more, but as for
themselves only one set would be per-
mitted. 1t was said jeremiah Maurer
was silenced, that he was Off for good.
They also decided that Amos w. Knep-
per must withdraw and that their can
didates - General Koontz and s. A.
Kendall-alone should be recognized
as the regular bona fide bOgie man boss
ism killers. 1t may be true that Maui
rer has been sat down upon and his pO-
litical hopes snuffed out, but how about
Knepper? Amos is red headed and
hopeful, like Tom Cooper, and is not
likely TO take his medicine without
kicking. BE that as it may, how do
the combiners like their own hot stuff?
How do they like curing bossism with
more bOssism? How do they know it
is better in the fire than in the frying
pan? How do they expect us outsiders
to line up with them, by giving us a
bigger, nastier and more nauseous dose
than we ever got before? Beside, where
does consistency come in? Bah the
bogie man trick won't work this time.
What is back of the bogie man will,
and that will rend the combine into
atoms.

WADE HAMPTON says he did not say
that the North should do the fighting
in case of war between the United
States and Spain. What he did say
was that the North was better prepared
to do the fighting than the South, but
that the South would do its share.
From the indications on the floor of
Congress during the debate on the s50,-
100000 appropriation bill we should
Judge that the South would take very
lively hand in any fight in which this
country might become involved. The
Southern Con gressmen certainly stood
up for the President and patriotism.
