cruiser Nizcaya, after spending week
in this port on a friendly visit 10 the
United States, got up anchor al l:40
O'Clock Friday afternoon and started 10
sea. Her destination is Havana. There
were no ceremonies or incidents of any
kind connected with the vessels depar-
ture. The naval tug Nina and the police
boat Patrol accompanied the ship as far
as Fort WadswoTth. when they saluted
and went about. The loud and deep
steam whistle of the Nizcaya gave then
three long blasts-the marine farewell
Forts Tompkins and Wadsworth soon
were left astern, and " hen the ship en-
tered the tOrtuous main channel-at
times al full speed, then at half speed,

no chance. He keenly felt his response

cborage. her flags were at half mast
for the Maine and a guard of the ma
rine infantry were drawn up in double
files aft. They were in full service uni
form. Once well outside the Hook,
more than a marine league from the
shore, the flags were hoisted home. But
the guard stood steady. Officers in uni
form paced the deck.
The wreck sinking.
Havana, Feb. 2G.-The wreck Of the |
Maine is slowly but surely sinking into

raised il would be necessary TO move
the guns and deck debris. For lack Of

So, 800 and his papers, was taken from

Policy Unchanged.
Washington, Feb 2G.--ln spite of the
stories that come from unofficial
sources in Havana as TO sensational de-
Vclopments in connection with the work {
OF the divers in the Names hull, the
administration remains firm in its
statement that there is no credible evil
dcnce one way or the other as to the
cause of the disaster, and holds to its
purpose to await the conclusions of the
investigation now making by the court

BRITISH CHANNEL SQUADRON
Has Cast Anchor OFF Gibraltar-Ac-
tivity at Woolwich.

London, Nov. Most of the papers
are full of alleged war preparations,
despite the undoubted fact that the
authorities are doing their best to dis
courage publication, and are even de-
nying statements that have already
appeared Yesterday (Monday) a sud-
den order was received at Dover for an
experimental mobilization of the de-
tense forces. All the heights and forts
were smartly occupied in a manner
giving full satisfaction. The arsenal
at Woolwich is working until II o'clock
every night, the government having
given large orders for guns, search
lights and other naval equipment. The
British channel squadron has cast an
Choir off Gibraltar.
The advices from Paris in the spe-
cial dispatches this morning add little

French capital that Count Muravieft,
the Russian foreign minister, while
there on his recent visit, promised Rus
sian support in reopening the whole
Egyptian question. and that Major
Marchant will be instructed to fall
back and maintain his occupation of all
Bahr- Ell Gael.

Hon. Charles S. varian Asks a
Pointed Question.
REPUBLICANS AND SILVER
WHAT THEIR SILENCE ON THE
ISSUE MEANS.
But One Construction to Be Placed
Upon It-Waldemar Van Colt Dis
cusses County Affairs and Argues
For Continuance of Economical
Administration.

In spite of the very Indictment
weather last night, goodly number
of attentive listeners greeted Hons c.
S. varian and waldemar Van Colt at
the Murray opera house. After a Sc
lection by the glee club, Mr.. Van Colt
was introduced. He spoke principally
of county affairs. his remarks upon the
economy of the Democratic adninistra-
ton meeting with vociferous applause:
Judge Varian reviewed the issues or
the campaign in a most eloquent man
ner and pointed out the Inconsistencies
of the Republican platform. Why
he asked, do the aspirants to the house
of representatives and the senate of the
United States, Alma Eldredge ana
John Henry Smith, avoid the silver
question? Why do they not say that if
elected they will support silver? There
can be but one answer to this all-lm-
portant question-they could not do so.
for they are members of the national
Republican party and must be bound
to its principles" Mr.. Varian then
made plain his reasons, and those OF
the bar of the state, for supporting and
urging the election of Judge Basdn to
the supreme bench, showing that he
was eminently qualified for the posi-
ton and straight on the silver issue.
His convincing arguments were re
ceived with great favor, in fact, the
meeting throughout was one of IN
bounded enthusiasm.

AMERICANS DISAGREE.
Claim Contract Has Not Expired, But
Has a Year to Run.

New York, Oct. 91.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Govern
ment officers familiar with the terms of
the contract between the Maritime
Canal company and the Nicaraguan
government do not agree with the view
of President Zelaya, as announced in
his message to the Nicaraguan con-
gress, that a contract for the CONSTITUTE
ton of the canal has already been for
feited. The contract has another year
to run, according to the authorities
here, and the belief is that the
contract just made to the new COM
pany admits as much, in that the new
contract does not take effect until Oc-
tober next, when the engagement with
the Maritime COMPANY expires.
Before the new agreement will be eff
fective, it will be necessary to have it
ratified by the Nicaraguan congress
and the Costa Rican legislature. AS
the relations between Costa RIGA and
Nicaragua are not friendly it is prob
able that the new company will have
considerable trouble in finally nego-
tiating the new contract. The ques-
ton of the construction of the Nicara-
guam canal will be made a special fea-
ture of the presidents annual message
to congress. He will urge in the strong
est terms government aid in the con
struction of the canal. To what extent
the president will favor government
control will depend upon the terms of
the new contract, which are not yet
officially known here.

ARMOUR GIVES III A0hou oUM
CHICAGO PACKER SQUEEZED ON
SHORT RIBS.
Could Have Been Bought Saturday
For $3.50, But Scared Yesterday
and Stopped at $6.75.

Chicago. Oct. 31.-P. D. Armour gave
up a snug sum today, as the result of
a little squeeze in October short ribs,
if the gossips on change know whereof
they speak. 1t was the last day of the
October delivery and ribs, which could
have been bought with comparative
ease, on Saturday at $3.50 a hundred
pounds and on Friday as low as $5.1212,
were apparently scarce, with the price
soaring UP toward ST. The price was
only stopped at $6.75 by private settle
ment of about 100000 pounds.
There is no telling where the deal
would have gone had the people run
ming it pushed it to extremes. They
demonstrated their absolute control of
the situation. 1t was the elimination
of a deal by a syndicate of what are
known as the English" packers, with
a number of concerns associated with
them, said to have been against John
Cudahy and P. D. Armour-though his
representative denies it-and has been
under way for something like two
months. Just who constitute the syn
dictate is not yet public property, but
it includes Swift & Co.. the Chicago
Packing company, the Continental
Packing company and the Interna-
tional Packing company, and probably
the several commission concerns which
are made UP of the people largely in
terested in the packing companies
named.
The acting head of the combination
was Samuel MCLEAN, the manager of
the Anglo-American Packing company.
Up to Saturday night all of the MEM
bers of the syndicate had ribs to sell
for October delivery at $3.50. This
morning there were practically no Of
ferngs and on the buying of not to
exceed 1850 pounds by Logan, Lam
son and other commission concerns,
opening at $5.S71s to about $6.6215. A.
H. Farnum, toward the latter part of
the session was credited with buying
100, 900 pounds at $6.75 and a few min
utes later it was practically con-
firmed that private settlement had
been made on 2,250,000 pounds at $6.75.
MCLEAN, who acted for the people
running the DEAL confirmed a private
settlement on this quantity, but re-
fused to say with whom the settle
ment had been made.
1t is generally understood that Mr..
Farnum has something to do with this
particular deal, and nine out of ten of
the people in the provision pit be-
lieved that Mr.. Armour had finally
come in after stubbornly standing out
on big short line. The quantity of
ribs on which a settlement has been
made was raised by common gossip to
S,O500 900 pounds after the close. No
one but the people in direct interest
know just what settlements were made
privately tonight on the basis of clos
ing prices.
