Rushing War Material.

BOston-The Watertown arsenal is
engaged in loading $50, 900 pounds of ord
nance and other war material destined
for southern ports. This material will
be transported in 'wenty-six cars,
which have been supplied to the arse
nal Cd order from Major Riley by the
Fitch burg railroad. Twenty Thousand
pounds will go TO each car on an aver
age, and the orders are to load the cars
with all possible dispatch. The order
for the cars was given to the Fitchburg
railroad by messenger from Major
Riley, and the work of loading the ma
terial on the cars is now we'll in pro-
gress. The ammunition includes shot
and shell for S-inch, 1O-inch, and IL
inch rifles and IL inch mcrtars. The
shot and shell are heavy, weighing
from 300 to 1000 pounds apiece. which
involves considerable labor ard time
in loading. There has never been q
time within the memory of the Fitch
burg officials when such large mum.
ber of cars was called for at any one
time. In order to accommodate this
business the railroad built the cars
with a movable platform, with the Ordi-
nary floor taken out, so tt at the hcles
of the big.guDs hang down underneath
he framework Of the cars. The guns
which are being shipped will carry a
distance of from six to ten miles, the
1O-inch eight miles and the 12-inch ten
miles.
At no time since the civil war has
such a large order of war material been
given to the arsenal, and an extra force
of men will be put to work Immediately
in order that the completion of the
gun carriages now under construc-
tion may be reached as quickly as poe
sible.

A CUBAN MACHINIST'S STORY.
Says the Maine was Blown up With
Dynamite.

Key West, Fla.-The latest story as
to the way in which the Maine was
blown up is contained in letter issue d
from a secret Cuban club in Havana TO
j. B. Gown, Cuban insurance age,
here. The club received it todf v.
The letter is written in English, but is
signed "Maquipista (Machinist)
After long preamble saying tt at
the writer knew the Names fate was
due to Spanish plot, the letter gees
on to say that in an old warehouse 1T
Santa Catalina, 200 yards from who e
the Maine was moored, some diving -
paratus had been hidden and that from
this base two divers had worked by
night and filed the torpedo holes of
the Maine with dynamite cartridges,
connecting them with wire to battC y
on land. from which the cartridges
were exploded. According to the ] t.
ter the divers were to have been p i'd
large sum, which has not been for u
coming. The Cubans in Key West say
that the Investigation in Havana as
tended to confirm the statements of the
letter, which will go before the CO It
of inquiry. An officer of the Mai q,
whose attention was called to the st, ry
today answered positively to the COR
respondent that the torpedo holes of
the Maine had not been opened during
her stay in the harbor.

Between the Administration
and Congress Over Cuba.
CONGRESS is IGNORANT
OF What Is Going on in the Way of Prepar-
ations for War.-Secretary Long Want
ed to Ask Congress for Money but the
Administration Forbid Ex-senator
Richardson Says the Administration
Cause are Plotting to Adjourn Congress
Before May.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-There is
a strong feeling developing today be-
tween the administration and congress.
The latter's feelings are being side
tracked. War preparations have been
going on, but congress officially knows
nothing of them. Secretary Long
wanted to ask congress for money, but
the administrat ton forbid it. One close
to the president said to the navy secre-
tary:
"Hang it. Long, what do you want
to sound an alarm for? Now, you need
men, but why don't you get them and
say nothing? Congress will take care
o: it later, when il wont do much harm.
Do you imagine the president would go
into war with the present great ex-
pepse hanging over the government?
Do you suppose he would throw the
country into war in its present ferment
without knowing why? Do you think
he would not let the people know at the
earliest moment if the Maine was lost
by accident?'
It will be three weeks before the of
can be made public. All its essentials
are already in the hands of the pres
ident. Those who have come to fear the
firm stand of last week has been aban-
doued are suspeetiug that the present
course is dictated by the determination
to upset or minimize the effect of the
conclusion of the board of inquiry.
Congressman Dockery said today
very pertinently: "We are going to
put the country on war footing as
rapidly as possible; but we caunot make
the administration fight.
preparations for war are going for
ward rapidly, but-Mark Hanna won't
let the president uphold the national
honor to point where the smell of
powder might alarm Wall street man
ipulators."
my opinion in that congress will
have little to do with the settlement of
the Maine or Cuban incidents if the ad-
ministration carries out its present
plans, said Senator Richardson, of
Tennessee, this morning. 81 see on
all sides evidence that the admistr.--
tion and those unfriandly to the Cuban
cause are plotting to adjourn congress
before May in order that the admins
tration can handle this question ac-
cording to the desires of the money and
commercis) interests

The Lieutenant General Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 2,-The indi-
cations are that the joint resolution in
troduced by Congressman Henderson
of Iowa looking to tile revival of the
grade of lieutenant general of the
army will be strongly antagonized in
both houses. It is admitted that the
proposed revival is in the interest of
Major General Nelson A. Miles who,
for several reasons is not particularly
popular either in congressional or
army circles. Only six Americans
have borne the title of lieutenant gen.
eral of the army, Washington, Scott,
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Scho-
field.

IN CONGRESS-.
What Both Houses Did at Today's
Session.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Imme-
dia tely after the reading of the jour-
nal the senate went into executive
session for half an hour, after which
the conference report on the pension
bill was presented and agreed to.
Mason, OF Illinois, reported a concur
rent resolution for the appointment of a
joint committee to consist Of three sen-
ators and three representatives to in
vestigs te the reported murder of the
negro postmaster at Lake City, S. c.,
the shooting of his wife and children
and the burning of his home.
In the house the Loud bill regulat-
ing second-class mail matter was taken
up, and Bell, of Colorado, addressed
the house against it. Bell was of the
opinion that if congress was to compel
railroad companies TO carry mail at the
same rates they charged for the
of the public there
would be no deficit in the postal re-
venue. Simpson. of Kansas, followed
in speech along the same lines.
