A Former Cuban O@cer Gives Rea-
sons for His Opinion.

KANSAS CITY, Feb 21-Colonel
Fred Funston of lola, Kans, late Chief
of Artillery in the insurgent army Of
Cuba, talking to reporter, gives it as
his opinion that the destruction Of the
Maine was due to an accident Colonel
Funston spent over a year with the
Cuban army. was in many engage
ments with the Spaniards and returned
home recently to recover from a bullet
wound in the leg.
1T might have been done by the
Spanish officer using the battery con-
nected with the harbor torpedo mines. ;"
he continued speaking of the Maine,
.sand it may have been done by some
foolhardy Spaniard who attached a tor
pedo to the vessel, but l cling to the
accident theory and feel certain it will
be shown to be correct when the phys
ical evidences of the explosion are
brought to the surface. ] know the
Spaniards are treacherous. but am not
prepared to believe that they would
deliberately destroy a vessel Of the
American nation.
IF they had wanted to do that, they
should have destroyed her at the en-
trance to the bay and IL they really be-
lieved she was there for war, they

CoNDERT's OPINION.
Spain Should Pay Indemnity If
Precautions Were Not Taken.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The Herald"
tomorrow will say:
Frederick r. Coudert, formerly coun-
sci for the United States before the
Behring Sea Commission and a we'll
known authority on international law
was interviewed regarding the matter
of an indemnity II 1t can be shown
that the Spanish at Havana failed to
take proper precautions to insure the
safety of the American warship Maine.
Spain should pay indemnity for the
loss of the Maine" Mr.. Coudert said,
provided the accident is found to be
due TO the negligence of the Spanish
officials The vessel went TO Havana
on a friendly visit and was entitled to
full protection. 1t was proper that ex-
traordinary precautions should be taken
TO insure her safety.
1T was we'll known that there were
individuals belonging TO the Spanish
nation who had ia feelings toward the
United States. If any danger was
known TO exist in Havana harbor, it
was to be expected that Spain should
inform the captain of the Maine of the
fact and use every means TO prevent
any accident to the vessel.
basket of dynamite should have come
aboard the Maine and blown UP the ves-
sci, the fault plainly would have been
with the officers OF the vessel. 1t Is
their duty TO keep the strictest watch
over everybody who comes on board
The destruction of the Maine by acci-
dent or the act Of irresponsible individ-
uals would not justify a declaration Of
war. Carnot, for instance, was as
sassinated by an Italian, yet France
did not blame Italy. Italian subjects
Were killed by mob several years
ago at New Orleans. Italy was JUS
tilted in demanding an indemnity which
she received, because the m when
slain were in charge of officers OF the
law, who should have made every ef-
fort to prevent their prisoners from be-
ing killed. But it did not result In

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-A dispatch to
the Herald" from Key West says: 1t
is learned from what may be considered
semi official source that the divers
sent down on behalf Of the United States
to examine the wreck of the battleship
have made a preliminary report of the
result of their work.
Incredible as it may seem, it is said
that from partial examination of the
magazines, the divers report that the
one in which the explosion is supposed
to have occurred is intact.
According to correspondents inform
ant, the contents of these magazines
are unharmed. Therefore, if this report
be true, an entirely different aspect Is
given to the terrific explosion which
brought death and destruction to the
Maine.
This report reaching Key West, it is
said, caused the members Of the Court
of Inquiry to decide to proceed to Ha-
vana and begin their investigation at
once, instead of organizing the court
here. At any rate, the lighthouse ten
der Mangrove, with the Court of In
quiry aboard, left for Havana yesterday
evening.
On arriving in Havana the court will
make a personal examination of the
wreck, and will then take testimony re-
garding the loss Of the vessel. When the
Mangrove sailed it had not been decid-
ed where the board would convene, but
Admiral Sicard told your correspondent
this evening it would probably meet
either on board the Mangrove or the
Fern the supply ship of the North At
lantic fleet. which is now in Havana.
The Admiral added that the court would
in all probability hold another session in
Key West before it's final conclusions
are reached.

PRACTICALLY SNOWBOUND.
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois Cow
cred Deep and Traffic Paralyzed.

CHICAGO. Feb. 20.-The States of
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois are p1ac-
tically snowbound. An average snow
fall of two feet is reported from Illinois
and Iowa points, while throughout Wis
consdn and Northern Michigan, the fall
was much heavier, in fact, the greatest
Of the season.
A forty mile gale has piled the snow
into enormous drifts completely paral-
yzing street railway traffic and seri-
ously interfering with the operation Of
trains on the steam roads. Northern
trains have been delayed in some in
stances fifteen hours, owing to the
heavy drifts and steady fall of snow
which makes the use of snowplows un-
availing. Rain and snow alternated
in Chicago and vicinity. Not enough
had fallen tonight, however, to inter-
fere with railway traffic.

SITUATION rs CRITICAL.
Robt. p. Porter's Views on the Pol
icy Of the Administration.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.-The I'm
quirer'' will print tomorrow, under a
Washington date, a lengthy dispatch
from Robert p. Porter. ex-Superintend-
ent of the Census. giving what he be-
lieves to be the policy of the Administra-
tion regarding Cuba.
Mr.. Porter thinks that Spain shall be
asked to allow the Cubans to purchase
their liberty by the issue Of Cuban
bonds. this Government to assume the
responsibility of collecting the customs
duties. and thus see that the revenues
OF the Government are applied to the
payment of interest on bonds.
Concerning the Maine disaster, Mr..
Porter says there Is little doubt that she
was blown up from without, but ii will
be difficult To fasten the guilt on the
Spanish authorities. He concludes that
the situation is critical, and that the
coming week may bring about a crisis

TROUBLE IS BREWING.
The Sokoto Incident Is Liable to
Lead to War.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-It is asserted on
good authority that the Royal Niger
Company has been instructed after try
ing all peaceable means, to compel the
retirement of the French from British
territory by force. The Sultanate of
Sokoto is feudatory of the company
and was recently placed under British
protection.
The situation ID regarded as extremely
grave.
The Daily Mail" says 1t has received
confirmation of the news from Sokoto.
The Times" commenting editorially,
says 1t can now credit the report and
reprove the levtty of the French press
regarding a grave situation The
presence of a French force at Argungu,
says the Times would be so fragrant
breach Of any possible construction
OF the Bay -Burua agreement of 1880
(Anglo French treaty at Busah) that
nothing but it's immediate withdraw
al could avert the most deplorable con-
sequences"
Other papers publish similar articles,
urging Lord Salisbury to intimate
plainly that Great Britain's limit Of
"squeezability" has been reached.
The Morning Post" says: III France
is making deliberate plans to annex
British territory by military occupa-
ton. this can only imply that she de-
sires war with England. In that case
her view will be doubtless gratified."

GOLD FEVER REVIVED.
Another Strike Made by the
Graves Brothers.

Graves Brothers.
REDDING, Feb. 2O.-The gold fever
here was revived to-day by the arrival
Of the Graves brothers from their ia
nous Blue Jay mine on Coffee Creek
with $4,000 in gold dust. They were
accompanied by Henry Carter. a young
man who is interested in the mine. The
dust weighs sixty-one pounds avoirdu-
pois. and is in it's native state. just as
it was taken from the mine. AS in the
former strike, the gold was found in
black manganese, and has not been
subjected to any cleaning treatment.
The strike was made in a lower tun-
mel. which struck the vein forty feet
below the drift in which the $1S,O0O
strike was made last summer. Richard
Graves, the elder brother, and Henry
Carter cleaned up the pocket before
John Graves was apprised of the new
find. They estimate that besides the
$4,000 brought down yesterday they
have stored in this pocket matter car
rying gold to the value of $2O,OOO.
The gold brought to Redding yester-
day was taken from a space not over
six feet in length. From the lower to
the upper tunnel there is yet forty feet
of stopping, and if it yields anything
like the six feet cleaned up the total
amount will run into hundreds of thou
sands The lucky owners would not
hazard an approximation of the amount
of treasure remaining in the untouched
ground, but they assert there is enough
to make them all three Independently
rich
The gold was on exhibition in the
Golden Eagle Hotel yesterday, and hum
dreds of people crowded in all the after
noon to get sight of it. The fortunate
miners gave everybody a chance to see
it and test it's weight, besides good
naturedly answering a croSsfire OF
questions from every one.
The miners with their treasure board
ed the California express last night and
will arrive in San Francisco Sunday
morning.
This last find will effectually dispose
of the story that was in circulation last
fall to the effect that the first pocket
of $4,000 was treasure obtained by the
Ruggle brothers in the Weaverville
stage hold-up, in which Buck Mont
gomery, the shotgun messenger, was
shot and killed, and for which the
Ruggles We're subsequently lynched in
Redding. The story got into print and
received wide circulation, but no Gre
dence was placed in it by people who
knew the Graves brothers and are ac-
quainted with the rich gold fields Of
Trinity County
BROUGHT DOWN THEIR GOLD.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20.-The

ago caused rush to that part Of the
State arrived here to-day with sixty
two pounds of gold valued at $4,000,
the product of a pocket recently found
in lower level Of the Blue Jay Mine,
the same property in which their first
phenomenal find was made.

the lake and took shelter on the east
shore. The steamer Wisconsin, Cap
tain McCambridge, arrived from Grand
Haven tonight. The Captain reports
very stiff gale blowing. and the snow
is so binding that it is Impossible to
see more than foot ahead. The steam
er Wisconsin on entering the river to-
day bumped into dredge of the Hath
away Company, sinking it. TIL steam
er was not injured, and the dredge will
be raised as soon as the storm abates.
