Mayor Miles B. Preston has been Hart

a result of his economic, wise administra-
ton. the municipality has prospered, and

cities of America.
Mayor Preston is the first chief magis-

form of government, beginning a new
period in the municipality history of Con-

had been done by a torpedo. They offer
ed several reasons for this belief, all of
which seemed to justify them in thinking
as they did.
For instance, the mast was lifted right
out of its place in the vessel and the men
were sure that this could only have been
done by force from underneath. If the
explosion had been on the inside, they
argued, the mast would have been shat
tered and thrown sideways.
THE bow of the Maine was split just
as if a wedge had been driven at the bot
tom of the boat on the outside and the
hull was bent forward as by an external
force applied directly under it.
1.-The diver of the Maine, Martin RIDDEN,
was also at Key West. He was decidedly
of the opinion that the Maine was tam
pered with on the outside.
II was told that shortly before the ex-
plosion a ripple was noticed in the water
as if some smaller craft were moving
around the Maine. No particular atten-
ton was paid to this at the time, but it is
remembered now"

al this session.
The other day met Congressman Jerry
Simpson of Medicine Lodge. Mr. Simpson
is one of the strongest supporters OF free
homes in the house. When Flynn was in
congress he worked WIN him ardently in
support OF the free homes measure and
although a Populist, there was a warm
attachment formed between the two men.
1 asked Mr.. Simpson whether he knew
personally what course Mr.. Flynn was
pursuing in regard to the free homes bin,
and whether there was any truth in the
assertions that he was quietly opposing
the passage of the bill. He replied: II
have not made e careful investigation
but from indications that have seen, I
think Mr.. Flynn is working as ardently
now for the free homes bill as he did
when he was in congress. We all know
how he worked for that measure then and
when I say 'ardently' 1 mean that he is
today, so far as I know, supporting the
measure with the same zeal, enthusiasm,
and loyalty

other friends of the bill here The other
day he frankly admitted to Mr. Grimes
that as chairman of the Republican com
mittee of the territory, he could do more
for the free homes bill here than any
other man in Washington. He also spoke
kindly of the work done by ex-Delegate
Flynn.
This change on the part of Callahan Is
due to a rude awakening to the fact that
the Democrats of the territory. who ap-
pear to be his friends, are attempting to
stab him in the back and the reversal Of
his former methods OF campaigning has
strengthened the chances of the passage
of the bill in the house. Callahan is now
ready to cooperate with the Republicans
to further the chances of the free homes
bill. He is ready TO vote against the trust
land provisions IL by so doing he can Sc
cure the passage of a bill including the
lands which the government actually
owns which would take in all the lands
in Oklahoma territory. He will cease to
longer respond 10 the demands OF the
Democratic press and his hope is now

GOOD FOR TERRITORY CLERKS
If the Fee Amendent to the Sundry
Civil Bill Goes

Guthrie, o. T., March 4-(Specia)-A
special to the State Capital from Wash
ington says that the house amendment
to the sundry civil service appropria ton
bill passed the house yesterday, giving
the clerks of district courts of Oklahoma
and other territories all fees earned in
all cases except United States cases and
directing the accounting officers of the
treasury department 10 settle all IN
adjusted emolument accounts of the clerks
accordingly. This will increase the fees
of the district clerks in the territory near
" four thousand dollars annually.
This bill changes the law so that the
government requires in all unadjusted re-
bates, and in the future district clerks
of territories to report only fees earned
in United States cases. The government
relinquishes all jurisdiction over territor-
ial criminal and civil fees.

New York, March 4.-The Herald's Ha-

cent excursion Senator Proctor saw q
lively enga cement between a band of $50
insurgents and an equal number of Span

within sight of Matanzas, in the streets

Gomez, who openly proclaimed his iden-
THY and mission.
Havana, March 4.-Senator Proctor re-
turned this afternoon from Artimesa, ear

Clara Barton, Superintendent Elwell and
two Red Cross society doctors, with
others, 10 assist in establishing relief
depot. The senator was enabled to see
a part of the country which he had not

once the staples.
LEE LOOKS AFTER ORPHANS.
Washington, March 4.-The only word

of his efforts to ameliorate the condition
of the Havana concentrates he had Sc
cured from the Spanish authorities the
use of a large store house, which he pro-
posed to use as an orphan asylum to shell

SPAIN Is BUYING SHIPS
French Financiers Probably Throw
Ing Good Money After Bad.


London, March 4-Spain has purchased
two cruisers which the Armstrong; have
been building for Brazil, the Amazonius
and a sister ship, unnamed, of 1000 tons
each, % knots and ten guns.
Spain is also negotiating for and will
probably secure two cruisers of a similar
type which have been building in France
for Brazil
The Amazonius is ready for launching
and her sister ship will soon be ready
The Spanish government is also endeav-
oring to secure guns and large supplies of
ammunition in England and on the con-
tinent for immediate use.
The government of Spain seems to have
funds, for it is understood to be paying a
large part of the purchase money in cash.
giving good security for the balance, these
being the only terms upon which the Arm
strongs would deal.
Some weeks ago Spain attempted to pur-
chase ships and supplies in England on
credit from prominent firms having close
relations with the government. but after
inquiries the firms refused to give credit.
Since then Spain has raised funds from
unknown sources.
Diplomats in London express the belief
that French finaciers are helping the
Spanish government
1t is known that Spain is trying to pur-
chase three other ships which are being
built by the Armstrong;, but she has not
yet succeeded in making a bargain, con-
sequently there is still time if the United
States wishes to forestau her.
