is a noticeable fact that the current of
that of the unofficial opinion express
ed 50 positively and pcrsistcntly at
Havana and Kew West that the
cause Of the explosion was OK

stated Monday that while they were
wholly without exact information as
10 the findings of the court of inquiry
they found themselves sharing in the
apparently intangible conviction that
the cause of the explosion was not ac-
cidcntaL Opinions expressed by the
Maine survivors who reached here
last Saturday doubtless has con-
trihutcd largely TO this view in of.
fetal circles In this connection it
is understood that one of the Off
GERS who arrived on Saturday stated,
not rs opinion, but rs his personal OBJ
scryation on the night OF the disaster,
that there were two distinct explosions
The tendency OF this is TO support the
theory Of external cause, as this Is
based on the idea that the first cNter-
nal explosion was followed by n second
internal explosion.
WAsuIN GrON,, March -. 1t can be
stated positively and authoritativcly
that the report of the court of in.
quiry ON the Maine disaster had
not been received up to noon Monday.
From the same authoritative source
IL can he stated that the present Of.
fetal information is that the report is
not likely To Toe here before next Thurs
day or Friday. II is a material change
from the expectation prior to this
time. The cause of the delay is not
known, but IL is assumed that the con-
illusions of the court are not yet in
such exact form as 20 warrant their
earlier presentation here.
The government has made no further
purchases of warships, but its ncgotta'
tious in that line have been productive
of at least one important result, name

NEGROES SOLD.
Jim Wade Brought Two Dollars and n
Quarter and Howard Two Dollars and
ttftx Eanfs


GLASGOW, Ky, March 29.--The sale
of the Negroes, Jim Wade and Rufus
Howard, brought an immense crowd
to- town Monday, in spite of the wealth
er. Chief Deputy Sheriff Powell Bar
low began the sale promptly at l
o'clock lie announced that the sale
would be upon a credit of three
months, and title given for one year.
Howard was first offered, and, after
many five-ccnt bids, was bought by W.T..
Adams, farmer, for s2.2j. When Wade
was put up he asked that his father he
sent for, but his father refused to bid
ON him, and Y. +. Swartz, of Louis
Vile, became his owner for 81, 30 Both
boys seemed well satisfied with the re-
suit, hut the general opinion is that
the price paid was too much. This is
the first ssme since 1868 that Negroes
have been sold by a sheriff in this
county. The Negroes sold at that time
belonged to the Bradshaw estate and
brought good prices.
