New York, Feb. 22.-Thc Spanish cruiser
Vizcaya received more attention to-day
than al any time since she dropped anchor
off Tompkinsville The fact that the day
was holiday attracted thousands who
tried to take look at the much advertised
war vessel; it was an utter impossibility
to get a sight of the NiZcaya from the
shore during the forenoon on account of
the heavy fog. Only the warning whistles
of the guard tugs circling about her gave
an indication of her position. 1t was 10

however, as the anniversary of Washing

will be divulged by the war department.
This rule which applies to maps. plans,
and descriptions of Notifications in this
country and Cuba, was issued several
weeks ago. 1t is not the outgrowth of the
DeLome incident, or the recent disaster to
the Maine, but was done for our own
protection.

some regulation of this kind. my attention
was called to a case which occurred in the
department a few days ago. A gentleman

Upon being interrogated more fully as to
his reason for making such a request. he
replied that it was an order he had received
from the New York branch of his firm.
They had received a commission from
abroad to secure these pictures and de-
States no matter what the cost might be.
While the visitor did not say so explicitly
there was no doubt in the minds Of the Of
ficials of the war department that he was
acting in the interests of some foreign
government.
while it Is true that the war depart
ment is in possession of excellent maps of
Cuba and the harbor of Havana, under no
circumstances will copies of them be al

against any publication being made under

and that If the Maine was destroyed by a
submarine mine or torpedo, whether with
the knowledge of officials not, that gov

CHARLES H. CRAMPS OPINION.
Fears the Maine Cannot he Raised
Except by Use of Golfer

for an expert opinion. After carefully ex-
amlning them, Mr.. Cramp said:
After seeing the pictures. am more un-
determined than ever as to the real cause
of the disaster. The appearance of the
wreck indicates that there were two or
more terrific explosions. One thing is GER
tain. If the wreck is as bad below the
water as it appears to he above. and the
inference Is natural that the portion COW
cred by the water is in a worse state than
that above it, the government will never be
able to raise the torn and twisted mass of
steel except by the use of Golfer dams. In
my opinion. the proposition to raise what is
left of her with pontoons is impra acticable.
and the building of Golfer dams is abso-
lutely necessary.

political circles on the reports of split

for Cuba. Senior Gown, the Cuban Sec
retary of the interior, is accused Of treas

simile of a letter from Senior Gown to a
friend, in which the former says: "How
could you think that sagasta, man in
ferior to Canovas. and Liberal only in
name. has inspired my attitude. and not
my ideas and sentiments as Cuban? Nc
Kinley. as well as Cuba, will determine
whether am Spaniard. Long live our
country and liberty"
The Impartial adds that 1t predicted
weak ministry in Cuba, and warned Senior
Moret, the Spanish colonial minister, OF
what was likely to be the outcome of his
autonomy scheme.

Senior Moret, the patron of Gown, and
Senior Sagasta, the patron of both Moret

A GOOD CONSCIENCE" STORY.
Jack Corder, of Independence, RE-
covers 5000, of Which He Was
Robbed During the War.

Jefferson City. NO., Feb. 22.-(Special)
Jack Corder. of Independence. was in the
city yesterday and received from Father
Hoog. of the Catholic church here, a
check for $500 for money lost by Corder
over thirty-two years ago. and behind this
is a good story. During the civil war.
Corder hid q sum of money in his barn
the barn was occupied by q company OF
soldiers, and afterward, when Corder went
to look for the money, 1t was gone. 1t
now develops that the money was found
by party residing near Corder and that
he gave part of the money to another
party twenty-eight years ago. The Man
who found the money died. The conscience
of the other man disturbed him to such
an extent that recently he confessed to
Father Hoog. and. under the rules of the
Catholic church. he was required to re-
store all the money found. and so he gave
the priest 500. being the principal and
intrest on the money. The names of these
men will never be known, because the
Catholic priest dare not divulge them.
