Maine Defenses.

The Boston journal publishes the
views of Governor Woleott and Pow ers
in regard to coast defenses, in which
Governor Powers is represented as say
ing: "fhe coast defences along the
Maine coast are, think, startliugly in-
adequate. 1t is true work has pro-
crossed rapidly on the defences in Port
land harbor and by this time the city
may be well fortified, but almost nothing
has been done at Bath, Rockland, East
port, Boothbay, Biddeford and Calais.
These places ale perfectly defenceless
today. The people of Maine are watch
ing with great interest developments
from Washington. Should there be war
the citz, rs of Maine would respond as
one man to maintain the country's
hsuor.''

Madrid. March 22.-The papers here
publish full reports of the movements of
the United States warships and OF the
defensive preparations being made by
the government of the United States. 1t
ia reported that the Spanish warship
selected to convoy the torpedo notlla
has sailed from Cartagena for the Ca
nary islands 1t appears that the delay
In the voyage of the torpedo boats is due
to the fact that the Ariete one of the
Spanish torpedo boats sustained some
slight damage while on her way from
Cadiz to the Canar~es.
The Spanish newspapers advocate
further strengthening of the naval
squadron in Cuba. The Heraldo thinks
that in view of the OBSERVATIONS prep
arations" of the United States, Spain has
full liberty to make similar prepara-
lions.

Intemperance From the PASTOR
Point Of View.

The first of a series of temperance
meetings was held in the mission rooms
Saturday evening and Notwithstanding
the condition of the weather and the
walking a good audience was present
Rev. A. n. Dairy presided and conducted
brief devotional exercises, afr which
Rev. George E. Leighton made very
earnest and timely address upon the
moral phase of temperance. DR.. W. S.
Merrill will speak Saturday evening,
April End, in Mission hall upon temper
anoe as viewed by the physician and two
weeks later Mr.. FIG. Harrington, princi
pal of the Skowhegan high school, will
give the views of an educator upon this
subject. Collections are taken each
evening for the benefit of the mission.
Following is brief abstract of Mr..
Leighton's remarks;
Truthfully ought the pastor to speak
upon the temperance question for it has
| its root in the Holy Word. When We
search for that which will arrest this
great evil we go not TO Rome aud Greece,
the cities of philosophy, but to Jesus
Christ, the teacher of morality. More
and more Is this truth dawping upon the
minds of men and as it dawns they see
how it may and must be the solution OF
social evils.
Especially is this true of the evil of in
temperance for its greatest evil, its worst
result is that upon the individual. The
moral nature is blurred and blighted.
Man becomes depraved. OF this pfase
too little is made. This is made q
secondary evil, while il, in reality is
primary.
For can there be greater curse THAI
the destruction of mans ability to desig-
nate between right and wrong? The in,
temperate one leaves moral spheres
loses self-respect and self-command.
These powers become FRUSTRATED, para
| lyzed. From this flows other sad results
instead of this from the others.
1t is common for US to speak of bloate d
face; the trembling limbs; the poverty
and I'll despair. To tell with pity OF the
children; the cherries home. From
such pictures, awful in themselves, would
we gladly turn. But does not the awful
HESS COtuc TdiIici IIOul ttlc Cdust liidu lDt
poverty itself?
Go to homes made poor by sickness
and misfortune, instead of by intern.
peIance and we fiud a vastly different
/ atmosphere. What matter about the
poverty so long as manhood ard love
dwells thereinp Sorrow aud crime come
from the fact that the condition is due to
wilful foolhardy act.
We are told A. and b. must be kept
from drinking 80 they won't become q
burden to the city or town. This is
right as far as it goes, but 1t does not &c
far enough. Go to our poor houses and
gaze upon the wrecks. See the spiritual
weakness of the Incorporate one and
TIL, tell me il the only reason such q
person should be kept from drinking, is
so the town won't have to support him
Thus | believe the greatest curse is the
curse upon the individual is the result up
on the soul. When the soul is weakened
man is weakened. God has given Us n
soul to keep pure for our own benefit
and the benefit of others. Shall we de.
file his name and disgrace our lives ty
bightng this soul with the habit OF
intemperance?

Havana, via Key West, March PIT
b now known positively that the nego
tiations between General Pando's dele
gates, Ramirez and Charyez, and Gen
eral Calizto Garcia and other promi-
nent insurgents, in which the radical au
Economists made what are said to be
final offers of practical independence,
have proved an absolute failure No
particulars have yet been received at
the palace here as to the place or the
particulars Of the meeting, bit the fall
ure of the negotiations is shown by the
resumption of hostilites, which had
been suspended, in order to allow of
the conference.
General Pando's command Is again
moving eastward, purposing to carry
out the plans in the provinces of Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cuba made
prior to General Pando's arrival at the
city of Santiago de Cuba
The fact that General Gomez remains
inside the Jucaro- Moron troeha and in
General Pando's rear makes the latter
subject to criticism upon the part OF
military men in Havana 1t is acknowl-
edged, however, that he details of the
movements of the Spaniards and nsur-
gents are meagre and that all judgment
passed is liable to revision on receipt of
fuller Information.
AS wired recently, Havana has at last
awakened to what its people regard as
the probability of a war with the Uni
ted States, and the sober minded are
counting the cost. Some whom the gov
eminent assumes to be the most eX-
IRENE conservatives are counting that
cost with satisfaction. They are annex
ationists now no matter what they were
a year or less ago, and in then number
are editors, lawyers, bankers, mer-
chants, manufacturers, officials, even
priests though those of the sacredotal
function cling more tenaciously than
any other class to the vested rights of
royalty. Deep is the interest felt in the
attitude of tie European powers in re-
gard to the Intervention, and loud are
the acciaims Of delight over published
cablegrams purportIng to give words of
aid and comfort from the German en-
peror. French minister sr Italian deputy.
But the liveliest grow grave at the
mentioning of a possible alliance be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, and the anxiety ma infested by
Secretary Congosto to interview Mr.
Collin, British representative here, and
our General Lee and learn the truth or
falsity of the story that the Prince of
Wales has said a British fleet would
support the United States in putting an
end to the war in Cuba, was almost lu-
dicrous, it was SO ono $500

The OrOnO Accident.

The report of the railroad commission
ers on the accident on the Maine Central
at Orono in January last, has been made
public, but after taking the testimony of
twenty-nine witnesses, they declare in
their report that they were unable to
ascertain to their satisfaction what was
the immediate cause of the derailment of
the train.
Summing up the testimony they found
several theories, either of which could
be sustained by more or less evidence,
but at the same time there was evidence
of a contradictory character and under
these conditions the Commissioners say /:
"We do not feel justified 10 setting up a
theory which might or might not be the
correct one."
One theory, namely, that the train was
derailed by the sudden application of the
air brakes, the Commissioners declare is
not sustained by the evidence. Whether
or not the accident was caused by the
spreading of the rails the Commissioners
cannot determine, but the ties appeared
to be in good condition and the rails
were we'll spiked. The train itself was
carefully inspected before leaving Ban
gor and there was no evidence and no
indication that anything had broken be-
fore the accident.
1t thus appears that the real cause of
the accident will remain a mystery.
People will have their own theories, but
II thew will follow the example of the
Commissioners and test them by all the
evidence adduced, they will probably
find as much to disprove the theory as to
sustain 1t.

The report of the naval court OF in
quiry on the wrecking of the Maine is
on the way from Key West in the custody
Of Lieut.. Commander Mark and will
reach Washington, tonight or Friday
morning, and is awaited with great in
terest ut the capitol. 1t is expected that
1t will be transmitted to the Congress,
Monday, and given to the press at the
same time. 1t is understood that The
President has already been Informed by
cipher dispatch of the findings Of the
court. All concur in the belief that the
court reports that the explosion that
wrecked the Maine came from the out
side There is great activity In the de-
partments at Washington, especially the
War and Navy, which are straining
every nerve to forward preparations for
conflict with Spain that it is conceded
by all to be more than probable. 1t is
reported that the wreck of the Maine
is to be abandoned. The guns and am
munition cannot be saved at present.

Imports of gold are strong feature OF
our financial exhibit and the foreign
trade statistics suggest its indefinite con-
tnuance. American exports of mer-
chandise during the eight months of the
present fiscal year have reached the
enormous aggregate value of $sl3,37O,'
600 and imports have amounted to only
$393,709, 900. This excess of $4l9,66l,-
600 in merchandise exports has been sup
plemented by net exports Of $l5,962 1888
in silver. From these figures 1t is
manifest that large sum OF money is
due to creditors In the United States
which must be paid In gold. Thus the
gold in the treasury must increase for
some time yet.
