Terrible Experienos at Sea.
HALIFAX, n. s., Feb. 28. - The
French liner La Champagne. with her
$50 passengers on board, has arrived In
port after terrible experiences at sea.
After drifting for Ave days on the
Newfoundland banks with her engines
disabled and the screw shaft shattered,
the great Boston.bound freighter Ro-
man from Liverpool came along, picked
her up and brought her into Halifax
without further mishap Of consequence.

The ship was steaminR fast against the

dous crashing sound was heard In the
engine rooms. In an instant . panic
seized the passengers and great exotic.
ment prevailed in the saloons and
among the occupants Of the steeraRe.
The ships passage was stayed and the
heavy poundings shook the whole
craft. Captain Poirot quickly calmed
the passengers and soon after it was
discovered that the tail screw shaft had
broken. The steamer was running at
high speed and the engines few arouud
like lightning when the resistance Of
the screw was removed, and before
they could be stopped much damage
was done in tho engineroom. An ex-
animation showed that the damage
was irreparable, and nothing remained
to be done but anchor.

With the United States.
MADRID, Feb. 28.-The cardinal
arch bishop of Valladolid has published
pastoral letter blaming America for
the prolongation Of the Cuban war.
His emihence says: 1.-THE hypocritical
friendship Of the United States fosters
the rebellion and wastes Spain's re.

her when weakened"
s'He exhorts all true Spaniards to
''unite in defending the rights and
honor Of the nation"
The letter has caused widespread
comment.
The Correspondence Militar, organ
Of the army, says: "The prevailing
impression is that war between Spain
and the United States will break out
in April"
A former captain general of Cuba
(presumably Marshal Martinez Cam.

Correspondence Militar, is reported as
saying: II never entertained doubt
that if the rebellion was not suppressed
before 1893 war with the United States
would become an accomplished fact.

WASHINGTON, Feb. a8.-The govern.

quarters positive statements were being
made that mines existed within Ha.

Maine. Under such circumstances, he

exist. In view Of this request, Senor
Du Bose set on foot an inquiry by cable
which gave him the information which,
up to that time, he had not possessed.
Naturally, the inquiry was distasteful
to the charge, and to the Spanish au.
thorities, as they deeply resent any
even implied imputation that the catas.
trophe to the Maine could be due to
mines or other external influences.
But for. the purpose Of giving the one
