MISSION OF THE MAINE.
Havana Newspapers Insist That 1t Is
One of Peace.

Havana Newspapers Insist That 1t Is
One of Peace.
New York, Jan. 31.-The last ripple
of visible excitement in the arrival Of
the Maine has died away, says the Her.
AIDS Havana correspondent, and the
ship as she lies at anchor attracts no
more attention than any other vessel in
the harbor. The papers made the brief
est possible allusion to her arrival, and
La Union Constitutional, the conserva-
tive organ, prints Washington dis
patch to the effect that the visit of the
Maine to Havana is merely an act of
courtesy showing the friendly feeling
to Spain, and to counteract the anti
Spanish utterances in congress. La
Union adds that the visit will be re-
turned by Spanish ships in American
ports.
In spite of this, there is strong un-
dercurrent of feeling in Havana, as
eyinred by the excited talking of angry
groups assembled in the cafes. The
general impression among radicals is
that the cause of Spain has been be-
trayed by the Blanco government, and
the,nation humiliated by what they re-
gard as the first step in the direction of
American intervention. This has in
tensified the hatred of General Blanco
and his associates and of the cause of
autonomy, and this hatred may at any
moment find vent in an outbreak of
fury, in which case members of the
government may be forced to depend
for their personal safety on the Maine,
for while the peril is obvious, the
troops concentrated during the riots
have been dispersed and no new pre-
cautions have been taken.
The arrival of the Maine created en-
thusiasm among the Americans, who
realize that the long period of suspense
has passed and that their safety is ab-
solutely assured.
Up to the present time no one knows
what precipitated the sudden dispatch
of sailing orders to the Maine at Dry
Tortugas. Captain Sigsbee had not
the remotest idea why he was sent, but
he was not much surprised when the
Dupont arrived from Key West with Or
ders to stalt without moments delay.
Being in total ignorance of the situa-
ton, he had no conception as to what
sort of a reception to expect. He ap-
preached the harbor from the west
ward, partly for the purpose of inspect
ing the Spanish batteries and watch
ing for any hostile demonstration, and
partly for the purpose of displaying the
flag and character OF the Maine, so as
to give the authorities ashore oppor.
tunity to make preparations to avoid
panic which might have been precipi-
tated by the Names sudden entrance.
The battleship was prepared for any
emergency. After picking up pilot
the Maine went rapidly up the harbor
to berth near the Spanish flagship.
It will be impossible to give the
crew their liberty while in Havana,
and as yet no shore leaves have been
given to officers, the captain being the
only man who has gone ashore. For
this reason it is believed that the navy
department will not keep the Maine
here long, but will replace her by an
other vessel of the squadron the mo-
ment the health of the crew becomes
impaired.

History In Novels.

Save in one or two Of Cooper's novels,
rays Paul Leicester Ford in The Atlantic,
it would he well nigh impossible to find a
romance dealing with Revolutionary his
tory which does not make the Whig Of
that war the patriot and the Tory tho dis
loyal and usually evil acting man. Yet
tho student of history knows that the
loyalists, if q minority, were largely COM
posed Of the gentry and educated classes
OF tho country; were, in fact, the cquiya-
lent of what today are termed the "bettor
element" and were superior In character
to many of the men who opposed them.
No American novelist has yentured to
write Of John Hancock and Jonathan
Trumbull as men suspected of smuggling,
Or of Samuel Adams as public man who
sought, as other officials have done more
recently to vindicate himself from the
charge Of defalcation by an appeal to the
ballots Of the masses.
Would any American author, striving
to write popular fiction, dare to picture
one signer of the Declaration as selling
the secrets Of his country to the French
ministry for o paltry pension, OF another
taking advantage Of information Of the
need Of the continental cause for wheat to
corner tho supply at once so far as he was
able? In one case alone have our writer's
dared to draw an approximately faithful
portrait of a man who came to the front
in early Revolutionary days. to describe
the bounty jumper deserter, smuggler
and drunkard, who nevertheless rose to
high honor in the American cause, and
the reason for this exception is explained
when the name of tho man is given as
Benedict Arnold.

Of damage to tho apple crop. 1t is often
mentioned, but rarely described, and
many people are not aware what this mis-
chievous creature is or Of what his work
consists. Some day they may pick up an
apple, beautiful, smooth and bright on the

lines appear in it. These are what may be
called underground channels of this pest
It would seem that "tunnel worm" would
be better name for it, as its progress is a
series of chambers burrowed through tho
best part of tho apple, sometimes going
around and around the core and often ap-
preaching tho outside, but only occasion
ally touching the skin. 1t is almost i'm
