THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co,
RECOGNIZED.
Tillman's vigorousness Wins Him Hear.
 ing on Hawaii

Washington, Feb. 15.--The executive session of the senate to-day was enliv- ened by a vigorous effort of Senator Tillman of South Carolina to secure recognition to make point against the contention that the Hawaiian Islands were of strategic importance to the United States. Senator Gallinger oc- cupied the chair, and other senators were seeking to make reports upon nominations, several coming after MT. Tillman had risen. His voice was drowned by theirs, and it began to look as if the senate might adjourn without his being heard. Apparently realizing the situation, MT. Tillman took his position in the middle aisle di- rectly in front of the chair and de- manded to be heard.
 T have stood here on my feet while eight or ten men have been recogniz- ed," he said. in stentorian tones, 'and want to know if I am to be heard"
 If the senator would speak little louder" said Senator Hoar, facetious- ly, The might be-"
 This remark did not apparently fall agreeably upon MT. Tillman's ears and he replied by appealing for protection and fair treatment.
 T have been member of this body for three years" he said, and have always tried to conduct myself as a gentleman, and I think am entitled to fair treatment"
 At this point Senator Gaillnger, who occupied the chair, rapped for order. He then explained that the failure to recognize MT. Tillman was due entirely to an inadventence and to the fact that his attention had been directed in another way. To this MT. Tillman replied that the explanation was en- tirely satisfactory and he then proceed ed to make his point, which was that the strategic importance of the Ha- waiian Islands was overrated. He ar gued that in case of war between Jap- an and the United States, Japan could bring coal for her warsnips over in ten days and thus render herself entirely independent of the islands.

NO WORD FROM H0oDF0RD.
Absence of a Message Not Looked Upon
 as Serious,

Absence Ot U uessHRe INOG hOOkGu upon
 Hs Serious,
 Washington. Feb. 15.-Up to late hour tonight the state department had no additional word from Minister Woodford. While there had been an impression all day that a dispatch might be received at any hour, the ab- sence of message was not looked up- on as an indication of any change in the status of the incident, which is now considered practically closed. As matters stand the only further action to be expected from Spain is the dis avowal of the sentiments expressed by Senor De Lome concerning President Mckinley, but this, If made, will come as a voluntary courtesy. A definite announcement that this has or has not been made is in the ordinary course of events the next news expected from Madrid.

New York, Feb. 15.-Senor Dupuy De Lome and party arrived at s:45 o'clock tonight en route to Madrid.

The carriages were quickly driven from the boat up Twenty third street towards Fifth ave nue. Efforts to locate the former Spanish minister at the leading hotels where he has heretofore stopped in New York were unsuccessful.

Wounded Taken on Board Spanish Man When Explosion Occurs-An the Win dows in Havana Broken-Lighters Sent From Key West to the Scene.
 Havana, Feb. 15 (Bulletin).-At quarter of ten o'clock this evening terrible explosion took place on board the United States cruiser Maine in Ha- vana harbor. Many were killed or wounded. All the boats of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII. are assisting.
 As yet the cause of the explosion is not apparent. The wounded sailors of the Maine are unable to explain 1t. It is believed that the cruiser is totally destroyed.
 The explosion shook the whole city. The windows were broken in all the houses.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press says that he has conversed with several of the wounded sailors, and he understands from them that the explo- r;1 ,,Io x.y1oi so that they can give no particulars as to the cause.

 Havana, Feb. 16.-The widest con- sternation prevails in Havana. The Vharves are crowded with thousands of people. It is believed that the ex- magazine. At a quarter of Il o'clock what remains of the Maine is still burning.
 Captain Sigsbee and the other off, CSIS AdNS OSCll SdNSo It IS GSllIldIGQ that over one hundred of the crew were killed. but it is impossible as yet to give exact details.
 Admiral Mantorola has ordered that boats of all kinds should go to the as- sistance of the Maine and her wound ed. The Havana fremen are giving aid, tending to the wounded as they are brought on shore.
 It is terrible sight. General Solona and the other generals have been or dered by Captain General Blanco to help the Maine's crew in every way possible.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press has been near the Maine in one of the boats of the cruiser Alfonso XIII and seen others of the wounded who corroborated the statement of the oth- CTS that they were asleep when the ex- plosion occurred.
 Captain Sigsbee says the explosion occurred in the bow of the vessel. He received wound in the head. Orders were given to the other officers to save themselves as best they could. The latter, who were literally thrown from their hunks in their night clothing, gave the necessary orders with great self possession and bravery.
 At 11:30 p. m. the Maine continues burning.
 The first theory was that there had been a preliminary explosion in the Santa Barbara (Magazine) with pow der or dynamite below water
 Admiral Manterola believes that the first explosion was of a grande shell that was hurled over the navy yard.

AbRte the Nuisances.

The commissioners at their meet
ing Monday instructed the county
clerk to post notices notifying the
people of Blko that the law relating
to nulsances would be rigidly en- d.
forced. This action was no doubt
taken i'll response to numerous COM
plants that nuisanoes were. being
maintained by some of our citizens
that seriously interfered with the CD .
joyment and health Of this commun-
ity. That these nuisances should be
abated no one who has the best in
tel ests OF the town at heart can deny.
The INDEPENDENT has been in
formed for some time that nuisances
injurious to the public health and
preventing the free usa Of the public
sidewalks Of the town were. being
maintained. So far as orr investiga-
ton has gone the complaints have
been fully justified.
In order that all may know what
constitutes :, nuisance under the law
we quote the definition as laid down
in the general statutes of the State.
1t Is as follows:
Anything which is injurious to
health. or indecent and offensive to
the senses, or an obstruction to the
free use of property, 80 rs to inter-
fere with the comfortable enjoyment
of life or property, is nuisance, and
the subject of an action. Such ac-
ton may be brought by any person
whose property is injnriously affect
ed, or whose personal enjoymen: is
lessened by the nuisance; and by the
judgment the nuisance may be en-.
joined or abated, as well as damages
reco yer ed"
This article is published at the re-
quest OF several citizens of the town
AMI with the hope that it may open
the eyes Of those who are carelessly
or Intentionally maintaining nuis-
ances that interfere with the health
aud enjoyment of their neighbors.
