WAR NEWS.
Nothing Sensational In the Maine Situa.
tion.

tion.
The lull of sensational develop.
ments indicated in THE ENQUIRER OF
Wednesday, continues uninterrupted
up to the hour of going to press.
The cable dispatches to the Associa-
ted Press indicate that the Ssanish pa
pers are boiling over with cheap blus-
ter of the kind that would create the
impression that Spain is spelling for a
fight. But TO this no Importance is
attached.
As yet there is nothing from the
court of inquiry, which is still pursu-
ing its investigations. The papers OF
yesterday reported that owing to some
hitch in its plans, the court did not 60
back to Havana last Tuesday as it in
tended; but is still at Key West. If
it has to wait on the divers to get
through with their work, its reports
will be delayed almost indefinitely.
The feeling is expressed in some OF
the more sensational paper, that no
matter what may be the result of the
investigations in Havana harbor, the
event of war will depend entirely upon
the desire of the money interests
north. If this interest consider war
will not pay, then the issue will be
evaded but if it considers that war
will prove profitable, then there will
be given the signal for bloodshed. AS
to whether this is a matter of fact or
only an appeal to the lower feelings
and prejudices of the people, each in
dividual will have to draw his own
conclusions, for neither side of the
matter can be established by facts.
The feeling that there will be no
war seems to be growing stronger.

tional government will do likewise,

The Old Man Elephant"
Johnston Monitor There need
never be any apprehension on the
part of Colonel r. B. Watson that his
name will sink into obscurity-at least
not during his lifetime. Already Colo
mel Watson is widely known in the
state but the mistake of typesetter
in Charleston has added to the colonel's
fame. A few days ago, in communi,
cation 10 The News and Courier from
Saluda, the correspondent referred to
Colonel Watson as "the old man elo-
quent )" but the printer, through mis-
take, and the proofreader through in
advertence, allowed the sentence to
read "the old man elephant" and
down the sweeping stretch of time
Colonel Watson will be known as "the
old man elephant" The News and
Courier has explained editorially, say
ing that the error was unintentional
but the incident will advertise Colonel
Watson as he has not been advertised
before. If he should ever be elevated
to position of great honor, the sobri-
quet will win him national comment
At any rate Colonel Watson has reason
TO enjoy the incident.

WAS DIR. BlVINGS INSANE?
Probable Cause of That Horrible Spartan
burg Tragedy.

burg Tragedy.
All Spantanburg is shocked at the
horrible tragedy in which DR.. Bivings
killed Mr.. TRIMMER last Tuesday, and
people elsewhere who know the men,
are greatly interested. The Spartan,
burg Herald of Thursday has the fol.
lowing:
"Last evening the reporter, in com,
pany with friend, called on Mrs. Biv,
ings at her residence about Z o'clock,
and in as delicate manner as possible
requested the privilege of conversing
with her for few minutes relative to
the sad tragedy in which her husband
had so recently figured. She was
found very sad indeed and almost
heartbroken. However, the good wo,
man was kind enough make the fol-
lowing statement:
81 knew Mr.. TRIMMER. He and my
husband were great friends. l have
not seen him [Trimmier) since three
days before Christmas, when | was in
his store in company with my own lit
tie girl and three little daughters o
my next door neighbor looking al
Christmas goods.
"There is no gentleman in town who
has always been more polite to me
than Mr.. TRIMMER, although l haC
only a speaking acquaintance with
him. My dear husband was, and il
now, suffering from, as the physicians
say, mental alteration, though I did
not fully realize his condition until the
day before this unfortunate affair oc
Cured. He has always been as kind
and affectionate as a husband coulC
possibly be, and no word of reproact
ever fell from his lips against me. He
is known all over the county as one O
the most kind-hearted men of the city

No one ever asked a favor of him that
he did not grant if it was in his pow
er. When parties have been confined
in Jail, he has gone unasked and bail
ed them out. No beggar ever left his
door hungry. 1t would have been
impossible for my husband to have
done wrong to any one if he had not
been demented, much less to his bo.
som friend.
These words were spoken calmly,
but the deep breathing Of the good
lady and the occasional sobbing show
cd how terribly she was suffering"

Owing to the fact that I have

Board of Inspection and Survey, presi- dent; Lieutenant Commander J. D. j.. Kelly, on duty at New York. as in- spector of merchant vessels: Chief En- gineer A. F. Nixon, and the naval constructor, J. G. Tawrezy, and Lieu tenant Nathan Sargent, recorder.
 Under the plan drawn up as the re- suit of the conferences held by Assist ant Secretary Roosevelt and bureau chiefs of the Navy Department. it is proposed that the Rogers board shall first select a large number of steam yachts and tugs, which will be imme- diately converted into torpedo boats and rams.
 Following the selection and conver- sion of these boats it is intended to pick out twelve of the best ocean liners, be- ginning with ships of the American line, and to take those which are best adapted for conversion into auxiliary steamers by reason of their coal carry ing capacity, protection, etc. Plans will be perfected for converting these vessels into cruisers, and the board will make arrangements for either charter ing or buying the vessels from their owners. It is appreciated by the au- thoritieS that in time of peace the law prohibits the taking of vessels except upon the payment to their owners of "the fair actual value of the same at time of taking" and it is for this req son that the board will be instructed to enter into negotiations with the owners looking to the chartering of vessels to the Government. The cost of a vessel of the St Louis type will be. it is esti- mated, about $2.o00, ,000 which would cut a large hole in the naval defense appropriation made by Congress, but it is believed the American line will agree to charter its ships to the United States at reasonable price, reimburse ment to be made in case of their de- struction.
 It can be stated authoritatively that the department will not take all the vessels which may be offered In order to influence the department in the se- lection of ships owners of vessels have visited the department, accompanied by Senators and Representatives.

though in need of a rapid-firing bat tery.
 There has been some talk of retain ing these vessels in European waters to harass the Spanish coast, but after considering the matter to-day with some of the officials of the department the Secretary determined that it would be the part of wisdom to direct their return to home waters.
 It is expected that the Helena and Bancroft will arrive at Key West with in two weeks, as they have been in structed to lose no time in covering the distance between Lisbon and the Amer ican coast It is said by department of ficials that these vessels will be useful to Rear Admiral Sicard more for block ading purposes than anything else.

slightest attention to politics in the matter of providing additional defenses for the country" said an official to me this afternoon. What he wants is the best ships that can be obtained-ships that are the speediest, the best pro- tected, stanchly built, and with their engines as much as possible below the water line. The fact that a ship-owner requires a member of Congress to i'm press upon the department the value of his vessel shows conclusively that he fears to trust 1t to the Judgment of a capable board, and that it must be un- suited for Government work"
 The tugs which will be selected by the board for duty as rams must com ply with this specification: To be suitable as rams, tugs should be es- pecially heavy in construction, particu- larly forward should have a speed of not less than twelve knots, a displace- ment of not less than 25O tons. and should be capable of mounting at least two f1ve-pounder rapid-fire guns. one forward and one aft. The tugs must be of iron or steel and in a thorough state of repair.
 All steam yachts desired will be di- vided into these three classes:
 First class-To be capable of main taining a speed of not less than eigh- teen knots at sea, In ordinary weather. for two consecutive hours, with all weights on board and of mounting two Whitehead torpedo tubes long or short, and not less than two 6-pounder rapid-fire guns.
 Second class-To be able of maintain ing a speed of from fourteen to eight cen knots in ordinary weather. with weights on board, and of mounting at least one Whitehead torpedo tube. long or short, and one 1-pounder rapid-f1re gun.
 Torpedo launches-To be capable of a speed of from nine to fourteen knots in smooth weather and of mounting one Howell or Whitehead torpedo tube and one 1-pounder gun.
 It is understood that the board will at once purchase or charter steam col Hers, which will be employed to trans port coal and other supplies to the fleet

 He will remain at Lisbon with the cruiser San Francisco. ready to return to the United States at a moments mo- tice. These steps taken by the depart ment to abandon the European station are due to it's desire to remove from the sphere of danger three ships which would be an easy prey for Spanish ar mored cruisers or battleship in case of war.
