second brew in this way from used
leaves I would say that Il would be well
to drain the teapot from the FIRST brew
SO that the leaves are not sleeping in
water. This would reduce the quantity
of fannie acid in the second infusion
Many people believe that the color of the
infusion indicates its strength with re-
gard to its refreshing properties. This
is wrong, as theme Is colorless. In fact,
very often the deep color of common tea
is due to the tannln, and such tea is
usually poor in theme. The fact is that
very high-class teas do not produce
deeply colored brews. Such teas usually
possess a high percentage of theme,
with low proportions of fannie acid.

GOV. RUSSELL IN WILMINGTON.
FEELING OF UNREST AGAIN PRE-
Walls IN NEW HANOVER.

RumOrs of a Republican County
TicI1et Being Run Regardless of
tbe Wiahes of the GOvernOr-DemO-
Gratis Have Carried Out Their
Part of the Arrangement With
Gov. Russell, and Furious Because
of the Proposed Republican Ticket.
WILMINGTON, NJ c., Oc.- d-Notwith
starding the more peaceful outlook that
has prevailed for the last two days, the
feeling of unrest begins to show itself
again tonight.
There is a disquieting rumor that the
negroes are seriously considering the
question of running a county ticket re-
eardless of the wishes of Gov. Russell
and the three or four white lieutenants
here who have not deserted him.
The unexpected arrival of Gov. Russell
this evening caps the climax of the chang
ed conditions.
The hope among conservative people is
mat Gov. Russell has heard of the move
ment of the negroes to place a county
ticket in the field, and has come here to
suppress it if possible. There are other
theories, however, in regard to the object
Of his visit.
There is little doubt that if a Republi-
can ticket is brought out for county Of
fees. the situation here will become more
serious than ever.
The Democrats have carried out their
part of the arrangements made with the
Governor by changing their candidates for
the lower house of the legislature, and
they are furious over the talk of negro
county ticket.
The following editorial from the negro
paper. the Record, of this afternoon, is
considered, when read between the lines,
positive indication that the negroes do
not consider the question of a county tick
ct finally settled. The Record is Nthe pa
per that printed the editorial rejecting
on the chastity of the white women of
the state
The article that appeared this afternoon
Is as follows: Saturday at noon was
the time appointed for the holding of the
county convention and nomination of
county officers. AT 10 o'clock the dele
gates went into caucus and after much
speechmaking and resolving, it was de-
cided not to nominate a ticket at this
time; consequently, there was no need
for calling the convention together 1t
was rumored around the city that the con-
vention or some one had decided not to
put up ticket for county offices at ALL
but concede everything to the Democrats.
We tried to ascertain the truth of this
statement, but could not.
The morning papers, however, came
out yesterday with the announcement
that there would be no Republican ticket
in the field, and that every thing had been
arranged by the Governor. So we pre-
sumo the county convention must have
met late Saturday afternoon, as nothing
of this nature had been decided upon at
the close of the caucus"

POKER PLAYED BY A DREAM.

Brown always swore that he wasn't

I've seen him twist his second finger

man. and I know he has conscientious
scruples against going under a ladder.
Inc fact that he occasionally gets up and
circles around his chair three times while
playing poker may not prove anything,
out any man who will lay down good
hand on account of a dream is open to
suspicion, and that's what Brown did.
ut seems that Brown dreamed one night
oil having tilt with Smith. Smith opened
jackpot and Brown just hipped him
once for luck. He held the eight. nine,
zen and jack of clubs, so he had chances

sides defense she has another means at her disposal. She did not sign the treaty of Paris in
 1856 regarding the capture of mer- chant vessels in case of war. She therefore has the right to strike a terrible blow at American con- merce. She can arm her mer- chant ships, of which she has ninety-six at Barcelona and Va lencia, and which, with her tor pedo-boats, would give valuable assistance in the event of war"
 It is known in diplomatic circles that Senor Sandoval, the Spanish military agent in Germany, Aus tria and Scandinavia, who re- turned to Berlin on Wednesday from trip, after having made three conditional pur chases of ccasting steamers at Plume and two at Pola, with other Spanish represen- tatives, has been purchasing out right or conditionally munitions and vessels for use against Ameri- can trade. Senor Sandoval, in ad- dition to the. purchases referred to which are intended for the priva- teer service, has placed large or ders with the Krupp Gun Compa- ny during the last six weeks, and las also appointed assub-agent at Trieste to see what he can pick

up. The Spanish agent is now at Hamburg or Stettin negotiating for several cannon and torpedo boats built partly for China and partly on speculation by the Vulcan wards. He intends to visit the Schichau yards and the yards at ElbIng for the same purpose.
 The German press this week has given utterance to the unani- nous conviction that a war be- tween the United States and Spain is probable, although it is believed here that the latter country will do everything to avoid it.

GERMANY'S DENIAL.

BERLIN, March 12.-The Der lin Foreign Office has instructed the inspired press to deny em- phaticallys that Germany will aid Spain in case of war with the United States, and has also in- structed the newspapers to point out that the United States is an excellent friend of Germany, and that Spain, in the Caroline squabble. has repeatedly shown unfriendliness to Germany.

While unere is ample evidence of an unofficial character already in the hands of the authorities to make it conclusive in their minds that the Maine was blown up from the out side, the President will refrain from making any public statement as to the cause of the disaster until all the papers are before him.
 This is in strong contrast to the course of Captain Peral, chairman of the Spanish Court of Inquiry, who, in an authorized interview published this morning, goes into great de- tails to show that the Maine was blown up from the inside, and in do- ing this anticipates the finding of the court where he presides.
 There has been much comment here to-day on the extraordinary character of Captain PeraPs action in making a public declaration in ad- vance of the official report. The ap- pearance of this interview simultane- ously with the publication of a speech made by Senor Moret in Madrid, and with an interview given out by Minister Polo in Washington last night is believed in some quar- ters here to signify deliberate eff fort on the part of the Spanish au thorities to influence public opinion in favor of the accident theory of ex plosion in advance of the publication of the report of the American Court Of Inquiry
 No welcht whatever will be at- tached to the Spenish report by this Government, an l vixen President Me Kinley bs ses his demand upon Spain on the report of the American court, the Span1sh Government in all prob abiIity will reply that tEe report of it's court shows an entirely different state of affairs from that reported by the American court. No ono here be- lieves the Spanish court has made anything like as thorough an inves- tigation as that made by tk Amer1- can court. This belief will tend to still further discredit the report of the Spanish ccur: in this country
 The two adverse reports will bring the two countries face to face with each other upon very ugly question involving national honor on both sides, and one that will have to be handled very delicately if clash IS to be avoided.
 The exact course the President will pursue in submitting his de- mands upon Spain when the report of the Court of Inquiry has been re- ce1ved will, of course, depend upon the new conditions arising from day to day. The most that can be said now IS that the blowing up of the Maine and general Cuban question are to be treated as kindred subjects. President Mckinley has kept his head up to the present time, and in spite of all clamor he will handle the matter in cool and deliberate way.
 Fully realizing the horrors of war he is determined that if there is war the responsibility for bringing it on shall be with Spain and not with this country.

* HAVANA, March I2-At the * * point where the explosive force * that wrecked the Maine is be- = lieved to have been primarily : :. exerted there is at present * * depth of water of nearly forty * * seven feet. This important fact * * I learned to-day from source * * the accuracy of which cannot be * * doubted The significance of this dis : covcry is great. The Maine, as :, !. she lay at her noorings, drew * * not more than twenty-eight or * * at most twenty-line feet amid * ships. It was well-known that * * she had not more than ten feet * of water under her bottom. This would show that the total aver " !. age depth of water at the point < * where the Maine was anchored * * was not exceeding thirty-eight ,: * or thirty-nine feet.
 Now 1t is found that at every point where the bottom plates were forced up through the other wreckage to height of twenty-nine feet above their normal position. there Is hole scooped out in the bottom of the harbor to depth of from eight to ten feet below its average level.
 That this depression was originally much greater will readily be understood when the action of the tides on the soft mud of the harbor's bottom and the con sequent tendency toward filling in to a normal depth is taken into considera- tion This filling in process has been going on for more than three weeks, yet at the point mentioned there is still found by the divers depth of forty seven feet prevailing through limited area
 What caused this depression that still survives the action of the tides on the muddy bottom? That is the question divers and experts are asking. The dis covery is generally regarded as one more piece of evidence that the explo- sive force primarily acting on the Maine was exerted from under the bottom and not from within her frame. 1 talked last night with a naval officer. He Is an ex- pert in explosives, and one who has ex- cellent opportunities for knowing just what the Maine investigation has de veloped to date He IS perfectly familiar with the construction and action of all types of torpedoes and mines. What he told me appears to riddle completely the statements yesterday made by Captain Peral, president of the Spanish Court of Inquiry Captain Peral is undoubtedly sincere in all he has said. His personal belief in the accuracy of his deductions is not questioned But his facilities for learning the truth have been so inferior to those enjoyed by American naval ex- perts through the work of their own divers as to seriously discount his con clusions.
 Captain Peral says the Spanish divers find no evidences whatever of any ex- terior explosion. It should be under

 "The impression among Spanish diplomatiSts generally is that all the powers, in principle, are favor able to the mainten ance of Span ish rule in Cuba and against it's independence-above all against annexation or protectorate on the part of the United States. The impression also is that England, France and Russia will not go be- yond platonic demonstration or friendly remonstrance with the United States, whereas Austria and Germany are disposed to go further if Italy will consent, but generally it is thought that a joint expression of the European powers will suffice to prevent American aggression or intervention.
 In political circles it is not thought Spain will allow herself to be drawn into adherence to the Triple Alliance, even to obtain help on the Cuban question. Nevertheless, the isolation of Spain has rendered unpopular the foreign policy which has kept her from making European alliances for twenty-five years past"
 The Temps also reproduced an interview between Senor. Mendez de Vigo, Spanish Ambassador at Berlin, and the correspondent of the Budapest Herlap. After as serting that if the United States did not encourage the insurgents it allowed fllibusters to leave American ports, he adds: It might be even said that the United States has already begun a block ade of the Spanish ports, as at Lisbon, where an American man. of-war has not been seen for years, there are now two, and there are four others in Spanish waters.

The wrecking barge Sharp lies moored close along the port side Of the wreck and there only American divers are permitted to work This IS the side of the ship to which the explosive force IS supposed to have been applied. All the evidences showing the tremendous thrust from the port to starboard are on the port side, therefore, and that side is of vital importance. On that side and inside the wreck the most expert divers in the American navy have been at work for three weeks Their operations dur ing most of that time have been confined to an area of not more than fifty by twenty-five feet

THE SITUATION.
 The Register is in possession of information, the correctness of which I have no reason to question in the least, that certain evidence gathered by the Court of Inquiry at Havana has come in semi-official form to the President from two prominent members of the board. The information has been in the hands of the President since Sun day and has served as the occasion for unusual activity during the present week.
 The information Is to the effect that the Maine was destroyed by Government submarine mine planted in Havana harbor and de- liberateiy exploded. More than this, it appears that the Maine was purposely moored in the vicinity of the mine and that the explosion occurred at moment when the ship had been opportunely carried by wind and tide directly over the mine.
 These facts have been hinted at and written about in dispatches from Havana, Madrid and Wash ington and among the varied state ments made the actual conditions have been touched upon, but noth- ing authoritative has been per- mitted to escape from the court. That body is understood to have completed it's work. but nothing is likely to be officially promul- gated in regard to it's findings for a week or more.
 There can be but one outcome of such report, and preparations for the inevitable result are being in- dustriously and indefatigably pros ecuted. The work of the week shows that the Government at Washington appreciates the situa- tion and will be ready to meet what has now ceased to be a mere emer- gency-
