Spanish Premier Processes to Fear no
Trouble with the United States.
NEW YORK, March 1l.-A Herald
special from Madrid says:
The torpedo squadron, unless the
plans are altered. will start Friday Of
this week to the Canaries, while the
two torpedo destroyers leave direct for
Cuba. A strong sentiment is growing
that peace or war should come without
delay.
Phe mercuriaf perturbations of the
stock market met with the criticism
here of being undignified. For exam
pie, at the cabinet council the price of
corn and the elections occupied more
time than the attitude of the United
States. Senor Sagasta is totally ua-
rutfied and keeps optimistic.
The government organs, the Liberal
and the Correo, caustically state that
the English false reports circulated
have created a dangerous condition of
public sentiment.
Further reinfOrcemeGts of troops
have sailed from Santandor for Cuba.
There is no truth in the report that
the king is I'll.
The anxiety as to relations between
Spain and the United States which
has pervaded financial and CONNER
cial circles for several days, eliminated
Thursday in a heavy fall in funds. all
securities of the exterior and interior
debts declining l per cent. Foreign
exchanges have risen in an unprece-
dented degree, prices on Paris being
30 premium, and on London 80 pre-
MUM. All the newspapers call upon
the government to stop the panic by
prompt and clear statement as to real
conditions existing in Cuba, and also
by defining international relations.

Convicts Walk Out.

SALEM, Or, March &c. F. Moore
and George F. Betz, TRUSTEES at the
penitentiary, deliberately walked away
from that institution tonight about 8
o'clock. Both men were serving three
years for robbery committed in Port
land. They we're received here April
q, 1897. Moore was cook in the Of
ticers' kitchen, and Betz was teamster
and stableman. AS they conspired in
crime, so they conspired for freedom.
The penitentiary officials have put the
police of Oregon and Washington on
their track, and expect to have them
back shortly, as both are well-known
crooks.

Floods In Ontario

TORONTO, March 14.-Dispatches
from Western Ontario tell of the oyer
flow of the Grand and Thames rivers,
causing serious damage along their
valleys. Sections of London, Brant-
ford and Calf are submerged to depth
of from five to seven feet. In London
800 people are homeless. Bridges
and buildings were swept away by the
rushing torrent. In BrantfOrd the
firemen and citizens fought the raging
waters all day yesterday, but were
finally beaten out, and West Brantford
is regular lake. At Gait heavy loss
is sustained by the business portion.
The ice jam in the Grand gave way
and the flood following it tore away
bridges, trees and wrecked u number
of factories and private resid snces.

A NEW RECORD.
Deepest Spot in the Ocean Nearly Six
Miles.

Deepest spot In the Ocean Nearly Six
Miles.
For or20years or more the deepest spot in
the ocean has been supposed to be to the
northeast of Japan, says the New York
Journal. There the bottom lies 4,655
fathoms down, or more than five miles
beneath the surface of the waves.
In the latest photographers report of
admiralty surveys, made by the British
government, this ocean record, which
has stood so long, is beaten, for there is
official information of deeper sound
ing than has hitherto been made. The
deepest spot in the ocean, so far as
known at present, has been found to be
in the ncighborhood of the Friendly and
Kermadee islands, in the Southern Pa
cific. Here the maximum depth is
5,155 fathomS, or close upon six miles.
The observation, made by the officers
on board the British ship Penguin, is all
the more interesting for the fact that it
bears out the result of previous re-
searches, showing curiously enough as
it does that the deepest parts Of the sea
are not far from land.
Deep-sea sounding has come of late
years an exact science in itself. One GU
rious feature of it, and one which is lit
tie known, is that the leads" used have
to be constructed with especial strength
in order to withstand the enormous
pressure of the mass of water which
bears down upon them when they lie
upon the bottom. So great is this pres
sure that the sounding apparatus in
ordinary use would be crushed. T.,

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Negotia
tions are proceeding tor the purchase
of the Brazilian cruiser Amazonus and
her sister ship, the Barboso, by the
United States, but so far as the navy
department is advised. have not yet
been closed. The negotiations for the
purchase of two Japanese cruisers low
building at Philadelphia and San
cations are that-no further steps will
be taken toward acquiring the ships.
The japanese government appears to
be even more desirous of securing
1hese ships than the United States,
md owing to the delicate character of
the aspect of affairs between Russia
and japan, it is felt that the needs OF
Japan are quite as urgent as those of
this couBtry.
Secretary Alger has authorized Cen
eral Flagler. chief of ordnance, to make
arrangements at once for procuring a
large number of rapid firing guns for

taken without waiting for an allot-

$50, ,000,0 600 voted for the national de-
fense.
1t is now stated by the ordnance
officials that directions have been

to the fullest practicable extent, with

planted in Havana harbor and deliber-
ately exploded.
More than this, it appears the Maine
was purposely moored in the vicinity
of the mine, and that the explosion
occurred at the moment when the ship
had been opportunely carried by wind
and tide directly over the mine.
These facts have been limited at and
written about III dispatches from Ha-
vana, Madrid and Washington. and
among the varied statements made,
the actual conditions hava been touch
ed upon, but nothing authoritative has
been permitted to escape from the
court.
There can be but one outcome of
such report, and preparations for the
inevitable result are being industri-
ously and indefatigably prosecuted.
The work of the week shows that the

ciates the situation, and will be ready
to meet what has how ceased to be a
mere emergency.

Investigations of the Court of Inquiry
Practically Ended.
NEW YORK, March IA dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says:
The naval board has substantially
completed it's investigation. Every
thing now is in the nature of cumula-
tive testimony strengthening the evil
dence that the Maine was blown up by
an external explosion. The divers
this week have been able to add little
to what they previously learned. In
effect the proof from the condition of
the hull and the keel, as we'll as the
magazines, makes what might be called
a complete case of structural evidence
of an external cause.
Many accounts of conspiracy are
sifted by the board without result A
digest and analysis Of the testimony
has been made. 1t is understood that
this is on its way to Washington.

SAN FRANCISCO, March II Ben
iamin Clutf. ir., president of the Brig
ham Youi g academy at Provo, Utah,
fas returned from a visit to the Ha-
waiian islands, where he went at the
solicitation of United States senator
Frank j. Cannon. to determine the
status of the annexation sentiment
among the HaSaiian islands. He
speaks the Kanaka language fluently,
and has made thorough canYass
among the natives of Oahu, Maui and
Hilo. He said:
"As result of my investigation l
would say that probably one-half OF
the intelligent natives of the islands
are pronounced advocates of annexa-
tion. OF the remaining half 1 would
say that the great majority are pri-
marily in favor of the restoration of
the monarchy, and secondly they
would much prefer annexation to the
United States to continuation of the
present government"

New YORK. March 13.-Just before
O'Clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the Bowery mission. The
building, which is five-story struc.
ture, contained between 10 and 200
lodgers, and while the majority of
them escaped. it is known that at least
10 of the men who had gone to sleep
there for the night lost their lives in
the confagration. There were many
hairbreadth escapes, some of the oc-
cupants jumping from upper floors.
Several of those who jumped were
badly injured. while others escaped
without scratch.
1T is supposed that one of the dodgers
accidentally set fire to some paper in
closet on the third floor, and the flames
were soon beyond control. Some one
shouted fire from window, and several
policemen rushed up the stairs to the
rescue of the occupants. By this time
most of the dodgers had been awakened
and were rushing about in their night
clothes, panic-stricken. An alarm
was turned in by pedestrian, who
saw the smoke coming from the third
floor, when n lodger had thrown open
window to escape being sutfocated
and was hanging half way out to avoid
inhaling the smoke.
BY this time the men who had gone
to sleep in the mission and been so
suddenly awakened to battle for their
lives in the flames were in such a con-
ditiou that neither the police nor fire.
men could cope with them. They
were mad in their efforts to escape,
and in many instances the firemen had
to struggle desperately with the lodg-
ers to bring them to the street in
safety.
AT 3 o'clock, when the flames were
under control, one of the firemen, who
had made tour Of the entire building,
and reported to Chief Bonner
that he had seen at least 10 dead bodies. I
His report was that he had discovered
two bodies on the first floor, five on
the second, eight on the third, II on
the fourth and 13 on the fifth floor.
