WAR A PROBABILITY.
Intervention in the Cuban War Now Re-
garded as Certain.


Washington, d. c.. March 29.-For the
first time since the destruction of the bat
tleship Maine, on Feb 10, the American
people know officially the facts ascertained
by the naval board of inquiry. The Presi-
dent has also partly formulated his plan of
action for dealing with the Maine incident
and the entire Cuban question.
1t is almost the unanimous belief among
public men that no long delay is now posi-.
bic. but that Congress will pass a resolution
in favor of immediate intervention.
If Congress can be held IN check for a
few days, it j., the intention of the Presi-
dent to- present first the destruction of the
Maine to Spain for settlement Failing to
receive a satisfactory response within a
reasonable time. he may then suggest
recognition or Intervention as a result of
such refusal.
Ii the reply from Spain should prove sat
isfactory he will hold the consular reports
and other correspondence bearing on the
Cuban question and make them the basis
of subsequent representations to Congress
for dealing with the general and broader
question.
This is the plan the President now hopes
to follow. 1t may be changed by Necessity.
He is consulting and desires both houses of
Congress to agree with him. All his adj
vices from party leaders are that when the
Maine report is presented, showing that
the vessel was destroyed by an external
agency, nothing can restrain Congress from
taking energetic action.

SAVING TIME.

More and More Work Carried For
ward by Night a. Well as by Day
The electric light on the lofty frame
work OF great modern buildings under
construction is now familiar sight,
says the New York Sun. The work goes
on at night as well as by day, so that,
with it's new building completed, the
valuable land shall as soon as possible
again be made productive.
1t is common now in busy streets to
do work that involves tearing up the
street pavements, on underground
pipes, wires, and SO on, at night; so that
the work may be done with the least in-
terruption to traffic, and with the great
est facility as far as the work itself is
concerned.
And nowadays work on new pave
ments is carried on at night, to hurry it
to completion; simply to save time. It
may be. for example, that in a residence
street two shifts OF men are employed
in laying an asphalt pavement, and the
work goes right on continuously, day
and night. One might look down this
quiet street at three o'clock in the morn
ing and see the men at work by the
faring naphtha torches, and the big
steam roller moving back and forth just
the same as at three o'clock in the after
noon.
On occasion work on gas trenches
and other street work is nowadays kept
right on at night. And all these things
are in keeping with the great modern
tendency to save time; to utilize every
minute and to waste nothing.
