DISQUIETING NEWS.
Said to Have Been Received by the

WASHINGTON, March 6.-President
Mckinley has very disquieting news
from Lee. IT came i'm the shape of a
confidential telegram addressed to the
President and was read by him alone

sons, and TO these he spoke in most
guarded terms. He did not enter into
details. but expressed his extreme
anxiety over the gravity of the stu
alton. The news was OF such start
ling nature that he was afraid 10 make
IL ever the subject of discussion al a

The information was in regard to the
Maine disaster. 1t is said it removed
any doubt as 10 the cause of the calam-
ity, and proved conclusively that the
blowing up of the Maine was due to a
plot. More serious charges are con-
tanned in the communication, and ii is
for this reason that the President was
so extremely troubled over its receipt.
SPANS purchase of warships is re-
garda3 by the Administration as the
most onlinous action OF the Government
of Madrid since the disaster at Ha-
vana. They considered ii warning
that Spain is preparing for war. and
a declaration from Spain is now re-
garded as the most probable outcome of
the difficulty. During the past two or
three months the State Department has
been in possession of information that

OLD MONITORS.
Being Put In Condition for Active
Service.

PHILADELPHIA March G-Work

for years have been lying at the League
Island Navy Yard. There are eight of
these old fighters-the Nahant, Lehigh,
Jason Montauk and Catskill. each OF
SO tons displacement, and the Canon
cus, Mahopac and Manhattan of >, 100
tons displacement. Men were placed
at work in the interior of the moni-
tors. The machinery of the vessels
will need but little attention.
1t is said that the monitors will be
hauled out into the main channel, so
that it can be ascertained just how
they will respond 70 the working of
their machinery While this test is
being made the turrets will be turned
and the guns put in operation. In the
turret of each monitor are two 15-inch
smooth-bore guns. capable of throwing
50o-pound projectile.
PHILADELPHIA, March G.-To-day
was repetition of last Sunday in the

gagged upon the cruiser Minneapolis, the
monitor Miantonomah and the ram
Kathadin. In addition work was go
ing on in the mould loft, and several
FORCES We're in operation in the black
smith shops. The. utmost reticence
prevailed among the officers, sailors and
wofkmen at the yard, and it was impos-
sible TO obtain any official information
as to the detail of the work going on.
1t was evident, however. that all work
was being pushed as rapidly as possible.
The work on the Minneapolis and Mi
antonomah was all below decks, and
was said to consist of repairs and in
spection of the machinery. On the
Kathadin the standards for the rapid
fire guns were being erected and some
small repairs were going on below The
work in the mould loft consisted of at
tention to small boats and spars.
The immense crowds which focl,ed
to the naval station last Sunday were
largely increased to-day, but no one
was allowed to get close to the war
ships.
Sentries were posted at the entrance
to the wharves, and only workmen and

THE CAPTIVE ON LAKE ERIE.
\ CAPTIVE on d lake-girt isle
Looks on the waters sadly,
His thoughts on one whose blessed smile
Would welcome him so gladly,
But that beneath d Northern sky
A sky to MIN SO dreary;
He's doomed to pine and Vainly sigh,
Away out on Lake Erie.
The winds that watt to others bliss
But mock him with their tone;
The lips are pale, they stoop to kiss,
With yearnng for his home.
The waves that dash upon the beach
Keep ceaseless watch and weary
They chant Of joys beyond the reach
OF him who looks Erie.
They bear to him his mothers tone,
His sisters mournful song,
Until he longs to be alone
Far from that captive throng;
And when he lays him down to sleep,
With aching heart ard weary,
The winds and waves his vigil keep,
Dear dreamer on Lake Erie.
But all who love him pray to God
To bless his precious life
With patience to endure the rod,
With faith TO close the strife,
And look beyond the dreary morn
TO brighter days and better.
When native winds shall fan his brow
And only fond arms fetter.
