not blown up by any private individual
or by any private citizen, but 1t was
blown up by some of the officers who
had charge of the mines and electrical
wires and toruedoes in the arsenal
there, who thoroughly understood their
business, for it was done remarkably
well. ! do not think General Blanco
had anything to do with it. | do not

The consul general further testified
that in case Havana was blockaded the

 An immense throng was at the station to welcome MT. Bryan to Talladega. As the train pulled into the station the music of a splendid band mingled with the shouts of men in honor of the great visitor MT. Bryan and party were immediately taken in carriages to the home of Hon. F. Cecil Browne, where an elegant dinner awaited the distinguished guests.
 At o'clock MT. Bryan being introduced by Judge G. K. Miller, spoke to the farm- CTS who had come in from the country to hear him, after which a public reception was held at the court house, where hum dreds grasped the hand of the great tri- bune of the people.

COURT OF INQUIRY
 NOW AT HAVANA
Witnesses Are Examined With Usual Secrecy Ob-
 
 served.

Havana, March 5.--The Mangrove, with the United States naval board of inquiry on board, arrived here before noon and the board at once held a session.
 Ensign Powelson was examined concern ing the work of the divers, over which he has supervision, and his examination was continued after the recess.
 Three bodies were recovered today from the wreck of the Malne One of them was identified as that of Robert White, mess attendant, and another is supposed to be that of a man named Stewart. With the remains was found fine handkerchief having on it the letter "R." The third body is supposed to be that of an oiler, as his clothing was saturated with oil.
 Another Spanish Cruiser
 The Spanish first-lass cruiser Almirant OOuendo arrived in Havana harbor at SAB O clock this morning from Spain. She received a hearty welcome from the ferry boats and tugs, on board of which were the civil and military authorities and different societies, which had been waiting for the warship's arrival. The docks were crowded with sight -seers. Rockets were sent up and flags and other decorations were displayed from the vessels in port, the public build ings and the palaces. The Almirant OQuendo made a fit appearance as she returned the salute from Fort Cabanas and then saluted the fort.
 Correspondent Arrested

TURNER DEFENDS
 SCHOOL SYSTEM He Advocates a Direct Taxation and Says This Is Only METHOD OF IMPROVEMENT I Says His Biennial RepSrt Will Show That All State Institutions Are More Prosper
 ous Than They Have Ever
 Been Before.
METHOD OF IMPROVEMENT I

Montgomery, March 5.-Superintendent of Education Turner has addressed cir cular to Gov. Johnston representing those who have been finding fault with the edu- cational system of the state, and denying many of the charges made by certain newspapers. He deems it wholly unfair and altogether misleading to say that this state is not making progress, simply be- cause 1t has not as many school equip ments and as complete as are to be noted in some of the older and more advanced states, whose public burdens have been as nothing compared with this, or because it is unable to expend millions annually upon it's public schools as they do.
 He. says: '"There is but one successful way to improve our school system and that is by direct taxation-which means a higher rate of taxes, or better enforce ment of the present tax laws, in which alternative the administration seems to be most successful Many of the defects in our system were remedied in the new code --as you are well aware-and with these improvements much can be accomplished to better our system.
 My biennial report will show that all our state institutions, twenty-three in num- per, are HloTS pIoSpciouS lVday thteh oe any time since their organization. And these institutions owe their fiourishing con- dition to the prosperity and thrift of our public schools It Is but a common saying that all our school interests are in a more fourishing condition today than at any former period in the history of the state. and as each year goes by, citizens of all classes-even tho colored-are more and more determined to educate their children, and to know that we are making, and have made, progress and advancement.
 We have but to take a retrospective view of the progress made by the colored people during the last three decades. At the organization of the public school system after the days of reconstruction the col ored people had only a. few teachers wor- thy of the name. Now they number about 2,50O we'll qualified teachers, many of whom would be a credit to any race of people on the glcbe as teachers. If this be true concerning the co.ored people-and 1t can not bel successfully dsputed-how much more can be said of the whhte people as to improvement during this period? I do not pretentl to say nor would have you be- lieve that our system of public schools is what it ought to be, or even half way sat isfactory, but do intend to say that our school system has fewer defects than those who are trying to belitt,e 1t, and to dfs- grace the state, and are also trying to be- those who have labored night and day to bring 1t to Its present state of usefulness, and to make 1t a blessing to the children of the state."
