Maxim, the Inventor, Says They Can

London, March 5.-Hiram P. Maxim,
inventor of the rapid-fire gun that

would conquer Spain in short order, and
incidentally remarks that the United
states would have no difficulty in hold

I'VE have four first-cIass battleships,
OF which the Indiana is a type. These
are armed with very large and powerful
guns and have very heavy armOr. These

the ships that Spain now has of all
classes. Spain could oppose these with
about eight smaller, slower end weaker
ships rather old and armeL' with less
powerful guns.
In the lighter types of ships, we have
about 10 times the actual fighting
strength of Spain. Our light ships are
In case of war Spain would not be able
to add to her strength, as no other ma
ton would allow arms or munitions of
war to leave her ports, while Americans
have steel works and workshops where
any amount of material could be turned
out. In case of war, the chances would
be 10 to in favor of the United States.
At the very worst, Spain could only an

TROUBLED ABOUT HAWAII.
Friends of Annexation Hardly Know
What To Do.

Washington, March 5.-The senate
committee on foreign relations had a
two hours sitting today in an effort to
decide upon what course to pursue with
reference to the Hawaiian annexation
treaty When the meeting adjourned
the members refused absolutely to give
out any information to the press, say ing
that all present had pledged themselves
to absolute secrecy.
1t was learned through other sena-
tors, however, that the committee had
under consideration the ACCESSIBILITY of
taking up the question of annexation in
the way of legislation rather than by
means of ratifying the treaty and that
they had decided not to abandon the
treaty, at least Immediately, but to
press it's consideration upon the senate
at the first opportunity. They decline
to say even to senators what might be
their course later, combining themselves
to the declaration that they would seek
to have the senate go into executive
session again for the consideration of
the treaty as soon as the appropriation
bills could be gotten out of the way.

COAL FOR wARsH1Ps.
Alabama is Shipping It to Gulf Ports

Memphis, Tenn, March 5.-A special
to the Commercial Appeal from Biz

government has, it is learned, recently
been buying Alabama coal in consider
able qualities for immediate delivery at
the gulf ports for the purpose of coal

not give out the details, but il is known
that the cruiser Detroit, which was in
Mobile harbor ten days ago, was coaled
with Alabama coal and large shipments
have been going to Mobile, Pensacola,
Tampa and Key West.
A northern firm of coal operators has
written to operators in this district say
ing they were figuring on securing a
contract for furnishing a quarter of a
million tons of coal to the government
for prompt delivery and they desire to
make heavy purchases of Alabama coal
to help I'LL it. Alabama coal being near
the gulf ports, they said it could be
utilized to advantage. Alabama opera

coal is to be delivered in southern wa

by Murat Halstead.

Ithaca, N. Y. March 5.-Mr. Murat Hal
stead lectured in the course of the Cornell
university on the Spanish American crisis
in Cuba. He expressed confidence in the
administration and said that since the
tragic mystery of the Maine had made the
matter critically serious, congress, with
few unimpOrtant exceptions, had stood
with the president, senators and repre-
sentatves doing SO without regard to
party affiliations. The president, the
speaker felt, had public opinion with him.
The president, on Washiington's birth
day-at the very crest of the war excite

the blowing up of the Maine-had faced
vast crowds in the streets of Philadelphia
