UNCLE SANS NAVY

The demand for information respect
ing our navy has become so grevt that
the ordinary sources of supply no long
or suffice to satisfy 1t. The public, while
eagerly devOuring whatever news Is
published, also seek such knowledge of
our naval resources as pictures alone
can furnish. since these appeal more
clearly to the perceptions than printed
descriptions, and are thus pleasure for
the eye as well as satisfaction to the
Intelligence. To fulfill this patriotic
desire and to stimulate loyal sentiment
this portfolio series has been prepared,
easch part of which will contain six
teen pages. 11x13l3 inches in size. and
as many superb phOtograp hic illustra-
tions printed Oh heavy plate paper,
bOnnd I'm co1Ored paper covers.
These views will embrace our great
battleships, cruisers, monitors, gum
boats, torpedo boats, coast defense
boats, dynamite cruisers, auxiliary YES
sells, portraits Of naval commanders,
ship crews, officers and men, drill ex-
ercises, big guns. ETC., each picture be-
ing accompanied by all needfu1 text
information.
In addition to these illustrations,
there Will be original pictures repre-
senting the explosion of the battleship
Maine, the harbor of Havana and a war
map of Cuba, supplemented by facts
historic and explanatory, that will af-
ford a complete und erstanding not only
of our naval efficiency, but also of the
provOcations that prompted to the maxi
ing Of war preparations against prob
able hostilities.
There will be six portfolios, published
in weekly issues, the first of which will
be ready for delivery about April 10.

THE CHAIN TIGHTENS

An Associated Press cablegram from
London this morning presents state
ments that seem to directly implicate the
Spanish government in the blowing up
of the Maine, although no positive proof
is offered.
The United States government has
been informed that several years ago
a large number of mines were pur-
chased in London by the Spanish govern
ment, part of which were placed in Ha-
vana harbor. Some of them were so
arranged that they could be fired from
fort, while others would explode if
vessel came in contact with them.
The mines were manufactured under
the direction of J. B. Gibbons after Glib
bons patents. Gibbons has outlined to
theory of the explosion which wrecked
the Maine, adding that more mines SIM
liar to those purchased in 1888, were Sc
cured by Spain in 1896.
Gibbons believes that the Names first
explosion was caused by what is called
ground mine, containing five hundred
pounds of gun cotton, which once laid
retains its properties for fifty years.
He also says-and this is the most i'm
portant part Of his story-that it is alb
solutely impossible for SUCH a mine to
explode accidentally. The electrical cur
rents which cause explosion are formed
only by the manipulation of a compli-
Gated key especially devised to avoid ac-
cidents. Three keys are necessary, and
they are kept in the possession of diff
ferent officers. An outsider could not
manipulate the keys without instruc-
tions. Gibbons says also that he could
identify the parts of the exploded mine
and it's cables.
The London cablegram says that Lieu
tenant Commander Colwell has made a
report to the government a t Washington
conveying the foregoing alleged facts.
The story is told so circumstantially,
with names, and with the development
fitting so nicely with the theory, that it
is impossible to discard it as a mere
product of imaginative journalism.
The Maine disaster once more looms
up, until it is likely to be coordinate
with Cuban intervention in the immedi-
ate settlement of the Spanish contro-
versy, if. indeed, it does not become the
primary basis of an ultimatum from
congress. No diplomacy can atone for
the Maine, if it should be proved that the
Spanish government or Spanish officials
caused the disaster.

PAINFULLY POLITICAL

successful war, the honor Is not to be
shared with Democrats, Silver Repub-
licans or Populists.
The aggressive attitude assumed last
week by Representative Bailey menaced
their plans, and it became necessary to
give the order to rally on the COM
mander." The revolt in the ranks was
speedily subdued, and now, for the first
time since the session began, the Re-
publican majority is unit In defense
of what the president has done and in
apology for what he has failed to do.
The one hundred and seventy-nine Re-
publicans who sent an ultimatum to the
president last Friday that they would
wait no longer than Monday for decisive
action have waited till Tuesday, and
they will wait until Wednesday. and I'M
til doomsday. if the command shall come
from the executive. They have been re-
minded that he is their president; that
they elected him, and that the party is
responsible for him. He must be sus-
tanned or the party will go to pieces.
Bailey was suppressed because he was
Democrat. He was sat upon because
his proposal was too conservative. but
the counter proposition they make is
ultra radical in comparison. Relabel
the Bailey resolution, and it would meet
with the cordial endorsement of the adj
ministration party. A more or less his
torical anecdote quite forcefully illus
trates their attitude:
Barney, saw man jump once six
teen feet forward and with the same
spring jump back seventeen feet"
"Get out now!''
But did. And you know the man
it was your first cousin, Tim Rafferty,"
"W-a-a-l, he might do it!'
But we are persuaded that the people
of the country see through all this back
ing and filling and grand-stand plays,
and that when the cruel war is over-if
ever it Is allowed to begn-they will be
able to form fairly correct judgment of
the motives that inspired the chief act
ors.
