WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT.
Evidence that Shows the Explosion in Ha
vana Harbor was the Work of Spaniards.

Havana, Feb. "a. - The tuGtion,
which may be changed any moment by
fresh discoveries, may be summed up
as follows: The divers having discov-
cred cases of brown hexagonal powder
for the ten-inch guns uneXploded, and
believing also that others uneXploded
will be found in the ten-inch magazine
on the starboard side forward, the con-
viction grows that this magazine did
not blow up. If this be SO conviction
is forced that the explosion which
wrecked the Maine came from the out.
side on the port bow.
American officials here are confident
that Gen. Blanco and the other high
Spanish officials had no knowledge OF
the conception or execution of a plot to
blow up the Maine, if such plot ex-
listed, but they believe the junior
Spanish officers, who are more conver-
SAINT with modern explosives than their
elders and superiors, were at the bot
tom of the disaster. if there was any
outside agency.

THEY DIE IN THE STREETS
Thousands of People i'm Matanzas Province
Perish from StarvatiOn.


Perish from Starvation.
Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 24.-While
the United States cruiser Montgomery
was at MatanZas recently a board of
officers was appointed to inquire into
the condition of the people of that
province. The report sets forth that
there are $4,000 people absolutely with
out food and clothing within the city
limits. About 5000 of these live in
small huts of palm branches. These
huts form three separate villages be-
yond the built up portions of the city.
The other II, 900 unfortunates live in
| the streets of the city and are abso-
lutely without homes or shelter.
These $4,000 people are of the labor
ing class who have been driven into
the cities from their country homes,
which have been destroyed in the war
operations. Most of them are women
, and children and they are all enact
ated, sick and almost beyond relief un-
less they can have the benefit of regu-
lar treatment in the hospitals. AS it
is, they are dying in the streets for
want of food.
According to statistics gathered from
official sources the number of deaths
in the province of Matanzas from star
vation is $4,000 and the number of
starving people at present in the prov
ince is estimated at $4,000, out of a
total population of 253, 616i in December,
1891, and the number of starving people
is rapidly increasing.
In the city of Matanzas alone there
have been about II, 600 deaths during
the past year and the number is in
creasing daily. The death rate at pres
cnt nVerapcS 46 per daY.

PROTECTION TRIUMPHANT.
1t Is Teaching Foreign Manufacturers
a Needed Lesson.

The eliminating triumph of the sys-
tenn of protective tariffs applied to
American industries is that it has
taught the old world that low wages do
not of necessity insure low cost of pro-
duction. 1t is simple truth that the
manufacturer of iron and steel goods
in the United States pays from 80 to 50,
or even 100, per cent. more for his labor
than his European rival, and that.
though he has to haul his raw material
ten times as far from the mine to the
furnace and shop, he produces better
article at lower cost. In its beginning
protection increased the cost of some
articles to the American consumer, but
this was during a short stage of COM
mercial existence. Protection stimu-
lated output, and stimulation of output
involved fierce competition for posses
sion of the home market, and that re-
suited in low prices. At last the Amer
lean output has exceeded all possible
demands of the home market, and for
eign trade has become a necessity. To
the astonishment of Europe it is proved
that goods made by men who earn from
$1.50 to $4 per day can be sold as cheap
ly as those produced at labor cost of
from 81 to So. America is teaching Eu-
rope lesson in sociology.
The low-paid laborer of Europe often
is tool rather than a mechanic. He
works as he was taught to work by his
father. He improves upon nothing; he
discovers nothing. He eats, he sleeps,
he works; he does not think. The bet
ter paid artisan of America is better
educated, more ambitious and infinite
ly more inventive. He is paid far more
than the European, and he lives upon a
far more liberal scale, but he produces
far more and of better quality, al
though he works fewer hours in each
day. The European plan has worked to
the degradation of the workman, the
American method has worked to his
betterment. Thus we now are able to
produce pig iron at from two to three
dollars per ton less cost than rules in
England, and this saving pays ocean
freight and leaves a margin of profit on
foreign sales. We are selling steel rails
to London, and covering the roads of
Europe with American bicycles, and
are putting American sewing machines
into European shops and houses. We
are furnishing Japan, China, Australia
and British Africa with steam war
ships, locomotives, electrical appli-
ances, and all materials of railway
plants.
1t is, paradoxical as it may seem, to
the high wages that our protective sys-
tenn fostered that our success in foreign
trade is due. Competition for possession
of the largest and most profitable home
market of the world stimulated inven-
ton, and the intelligent ambition Of
our artisans made them specialists and
inventors. Protection insured us
home market, and commercial activity
in that wide area has strengthened the
arms of our commerce and manufac-
lures till they have become able, to.
reach out for and TO grasp large and
increasing share of the trade of the
wOrld-Chicapo Inter Ocean,

Sugar Cane I. Nutritious.

1t has been remarked that the ne
groes in sugar-cane regions depend to
n considerable extent upon the juice OF
the cane for nourishment. By the use
of Mosso's ergograph, DIR. Harley found
that sugar promoted muscular power
wonderfully. On a fasting day it in
creased his ability to work 61 to rs per
cent. Taking ordinary meals, he found
that eight and three-fourths ounces per
day increased his work capacity 22 to
&c per cent. In these days, when ath-
lctes are SO much inclined to use special
stimuiants for immediate preparation
for their contests. 1t might be interest
ing to try sugar as substitute for the
possibly injurious preparations some
times in vogue.

THE ILL-FATED MAINE.
Description Of tho Battleship De-
stroyed in Havana Harbor.
Regarded by Experts as One of the
Most Effective Warships in the
Navy-Her Cost Estimated
mt $2,5OO,OOO.

The Maine was regarded as one of the
most effective vessels in the American
navy. In speaking of her just after she
was put in commission a naval officer
said that she "is not a cruiser, but a
fighting ship, a floating fort. She is
meant strictly for business"
The keel of the Maine was laid in the
Brooklyn navy yard, in October, 1888.
The dimensions of the hull were:
Length over all, 324 feet Az inches; at
water line, $40 feet; breadth of beam, 81
feet; mean draught, 21k feet; dis
placement, G,64S tons. A sail area was
allowed of 7,135 square feet, to be used
barque-rig.
Work progressed slowly, for a plant
had to be built up. The vessel, without
armor and fittings, was launched No
vember 10, 1890, in the presence of a
great crowd and with much ceremony,
her sponsor being Miss Alice Tracy
Wilmerding, granddaughter of Secre-
tary Tracy, then at the head of the navy
department. Her official trial took
place in October. 1894.
The Maine was n twin-screw, armored
turret vessel of the belted cruiser type,
that is, having an armor belt to protect
the vitals of the ship, even though the
other parts of the construction should
be riddled with shot.
The Maine had for protection against
an opponents projectiles an armor belt
~ inches thick, tapering to seven inches
below the water line. The ends were
unprotected by side armor, but at both
ends there were transverse armor bulk
heads of sufficient thickness to defect
any projectiles that might reach so far
a curving steel deck protected the en-
gines and boilers. The barbette armor

CHANGES IN THE MAP.
Ex-senator Ingalls, Says They are About

nict.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 24.-ExSenator
John j. Ingalls,, of Kansas, believes
that a general upheaval is near, when
the map of the entire earth and from
tiers of nations will undergo a change
Il believe we are on the brink of the
most tremendous explosion that has
been known in the worlds history"
he said in an interview Tuesday night.
There is a universal crisis at hand.
There are many causes which contrib
ute to this crisis-the gigantic arma'
ment of the European powers; the ter
ritorial encroachment of the rival pow
ers in the Orient and in Africa; the
war of the laboring masses against
their own condition and the accumula-
tion of wealth by the other class.
"All are prepared for conflict.

the readjustment of frontiers is not far

tion will be advanced, but it will work

Spies Abducted.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 24.-There are a
number of spies all the time employed
in Florida by Spain, but several have
disappeared. Two new ones were
brought here from Key West two
weeks ago and sent to Jacksonville.
When the Buccaneer left Saturday
night, the spies left also, and it is
thought they are prisoners on board
and will be landed in Cuba.
Two Spanish spies, detailed to locate
the expedition that left Pascagoula
last week, were bound and taken on
board the tug and landed in Cuba,
prisoners to Gen. Gomez. The feeling
against spies is SO great that any one
proved to be a Spanish agent will be
in danger of violent handling.
