THINK WE ARE BLUFFING.
Standards in London Profess to Believe the
United states Will Not Come to Close

Sn.piards in London Profess to Believe the
limited states Will Not Come to Close
Quarters.
London, April 2.-The nervousness
of the stock markets which was en-
phasized by a sudden drop of points
in Spanish As at the opening of the
stock exchange, has been fully re-
fiected in diplomatic circles, which
have experienced almost as much diff
ficulty as outsiders in extracting facts
from the mass Of contradictory state
mentsa regarding the Disappointment
can crisis.
The best informed persons believe
Spain is only temporarizing as it is
recognized there is difficulty in the
Spanish government accepting With
out demur the demands of the United
States in view of the danger of rev.
olution and the overthrow of the mon
archy. So, though realizing the i'm
minence Of hostilities, the apparent
hopelessness of averting war has come
as a shock General interest in the
situation is intense.
Spanish circles here are excited by
an interview with the Spanish consul
S6u6lGi, pChoi cuiddO W ~ 49, -
the impression that if the settlement
of the difficulty was left to the Span
iards of London, Spain will fight. 9th
er people here point out that the Span
iards do not realize the volcano be-
meath them. They suspect the United
States of "blufing" and believe she IS
afraid to come to close quarters. ID
addition, the Spaniards have a pro-
found faith in the infallibility OF their
fleet.
Senior Jurado tersely expressed the
feeling of his compatriots, saying:
eff my country wants me, my mon
ey, clothes, everything, it shall nave
all, even to my last shirt button
From the extraordinary activity at
the Spanish legation here there IS
reason to believe Spain is seeking the
friendly offices of the foreign office.
The newspapers, reaching the stage
of regarding war inevitable, are PRINT
ing maps of the area of the probable
operations, details regarding the fleets,
the facts concerning the troops, arma-
ments, preparedness Of the medlcai
staff corps, etc. The naval experts
dwell upon SPANS disadvantage IN
having to act at such a distance from
her naval base.

Ripley. W. Va. April 2.-One of the
most disgraceful scenes ever witnessed
IN RIPLEY, occurred here last night.
W. II. Carney, ex-principal of the Rip
ley schools, and attorney-at-law, came
mere last summer from Portland, Ohio,
and in the face of protests of many
elilzens and~a bad record from vari-
Gus places in Ohio and Kentucky he
was employed by the school yoard as
principal OF the Ripley schools.
His alleged frequent visits 10 a
neighbor woman's home are said to
have caused the residents and his wife
TO think a little, and. last night Mrs.
Carney swooped down upon her hubby,
together with mob of citizens, and
found him carrying on high carnival
1t the place.
z Mrs. Carney cleaned ont the house,
Ind took the husband home.
The school board had already made
him resign.
The citizens procured all the eggs
possible and went after The professor
and attempted to force him to leave
The town, running him through the
streets for several squares midst
shower of eggs.
He presented a filthy sight when he
again arrived at home
Fire works were procured and shot
guns were also used in keeping up
fusilade at his residence all night and
when he got out this morning he
found a bunch of switches and a note
warning him to leave town before
night, which he is preparing to do.
The affair was taken part in by many
prominent citizens.
