AN OMINoUs SIGN.-The New York
Evening World of Thursday says:
An ominous sign that the strained re-
lations between the United States and
Spain will result in war is furnished
by English shipowners, who have
cabled 10 their agents here that all
charters must contain the "War
Clause" This clause, which is posted
in the Maritime Exchange, is as fol-
lows:
at is understood that steamer is
to be only employed in strictly neutral
trades is not to carry cOntraband
cargo or trade with ports declared
under blockade also in the event OF
war being declared by or against Great
Britain by a maritime power, this char
ter is to be null and void at the end OF
the then current voyage"

NOW WHAT ?

Spanish Flotilla Has Left Canary Islands.
The navy department developed
important news features on Thurs
day, says un Associated Press dis
patch from Washington to the Atlanta
Journal. These news features came
with rapidity.
First came the definite information
to the department from one Of our
naval attaches abroad that the Span
ish torpedo fotilla had sailed from the
Canaries for Porto Rico. This move
has been watched by the navy depart
ment with intense interest, and is re-
garded TO some extent as demonstra-
tion against this country.
The fleet consists of six torpedo

GUILTY Of MURDER.

That Is What the Jury Will Say of Jim
Anderson, Probably.
Special dispatch to the Enquirer.
CHESTER, March 25.-The case Of Jim
Anderson, charged with the murder of
Captain j. X. Marshall, was called this
morning and has been in progress since.
All wit nesses positively identify Ander-
son as the man who was seen with Cap
tain Marshall at the bank. Anderson de-
nies every thing. Attorneys not connect
ed with the case give it as their opinion
that the Negro will undoubtedly be con-
victed of murder. AT this hour, p. M,
the trial is still in progress. There have
been no speeches yet. 1t is not likely that
the case will be concluded with verdict
before or O'Clock, if that early. W.

Report of Maine Inquiry in Washington
Naval Officers Excited About Spanish
Sauadron-The Lloyds Raise the Price
of Insurance -Commodor Schley In Com
mand at Hampton Roads-The Court
of Inquiry Finds that Maine Was De-
stroyed by a Sub-Marine Torpedo.
Special dispatch to the Yorkville Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, March rs, I p.
m.-Lieutenant Mark delivered
the report of the Maine court OF
inquiry to Secretary Long this
morning at go O'Clock, and at
this writing the cabinet is still
in conference.
KEY WEST, March 25.-Naval
officers here are greatly excited
over the sailing of the Spanish
torpedo hotilla from the Canary
islands. They consider that it
will be a serious mistake for
our government to allow this
formidable force to reach a
convenient proximity to the
coast of the United States,
and the feeling here is that
by all means the fleet should
be intercepted. The secretary
of the navy has been asked for
more ships.
LONDON, March 25.-The
Lloyds regard the Spanish-Aner-
lean situation today as more
critical than heretofore, and ask
an increase to 20 guineas per
cent. on war risks.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-
Commodore w. S. Schley has
been made commander of the
flying squadron at Hampton
Roads.
WASHINGTON, March as
Senor Bernabe has the report of
the Spanish court of inquiry.
Received at 4.4O P. NJ.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-A
high government official states,
and the statement may be accept
ed as reliable, that the report of
the court of inquiry shows that
the Maine was wrecked by
floating submarine mine.
The explosion of the mine was
followed by two explosions in
side the ship, and it was that
which made the work of destruc-
tion so complete.
The cabinet is still closeted in
an all day session, and it is re-
ported that the president will
take radical action in a few
hours, not later than Monday.
The naval reserves in the inter-
ior, and all regulars of the army,
have been ordered to be ready
at a minutes notice. Several
old ships which have not hereto
fore been considered, have been
called into service. There is a
strong sentiment for Cuban rec
ognition in the house, and it
now looks as if a resolution will
be rushed through today or to-
morrow.

viii Reject Intervention,

NEW YORK, April 6.-The Cuban
Junta, through its counsel, Horatio S.
Rubens, made an important statement
today. 1t declared in the most une-
quiyocal language that the Cuban pro-
visional government and the Cuban
army would reject absolutely interven-
ton by the United States unless it
should be preceded by recognition of
the independence of the Cuban repub-
lie; that if the United States persisted
in intervening without recognizing Gu
ban independence the Cuban govern
ment and military forces would refuse
to cooperate; and that if the United
States troops should be sent to Cuba
upon the basis of intervention without
independence, the Cuban army would,
in the last resort, turn its arms again st
the United States.
Mr.. Rubens said: cit has been agreed
between Spain and the United States
that this government, while declaring
for intervention shall refuse to re-
cognize the independence of Cuba. 1t
is mutually hoped by the two govern.
ments that the Cubans will
then become convinced that the
object for which they have been fight.
ing all these years -independence-can-
not be obtained and that they will ac-
cept perforce first an armistice, and
eventually, autonomy under the Span
ish flag. A part of the program is that
congress shall empower the president to
intervene, but shall not direct him TO
do so, .

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April IA memorable
scene was presented at the opening of
the senate today An audience that
tested the full capacity of the accom-
modations had filled the galleries hours
before the senate convened. Persons
distinguished in all walks of life had
come to witness . scene that promised
to form an important page in American
history. A message was to be received
from the president of the United States
that might, in its results mean war be-
tween two great nations and intense
interest bordering upon anxiety was
depicted upon every countenance.
Senator Davis has informed his col
leagues that no message would be sent
in today. Senator Davis Immediately
moved and obtained an executive ses-
sion.
After the galleries had been cleared
Senator Davis explained the reason for
the delay in sending the message. He
said it was due to the fact that there
had been some delay in getting Consul
General Lee and other Americans out
OF Havana and that more time was
absolutely necessary for this purpose.
Hence the president did not consider it
wise or humane to send in the message
which might precipitate serious trouble
and endanger the lives of these people.
The latest statement is that there
will be no message until Monday in
order to let General Lee and other
Americans get ont of Cuba safely.
