DOUBLE-FACED SPAIN.
Ministerial Banquet lily conceals Its
Real Sentiment.

Madrid, Feb. 24-The United States
minister. Mr.. Woodford, gave a banquet
today in honor of the new Spanish min
lister at Washington, Senior Polo y Ber-
nabe. The guests included the Aus
TRAN, Russian, French, German. Ital-
ian, Turkish, Dutch and British minis
tiers, and the Duke of Veragua, the lin
cal descendant of Columbus, who was
the guest of the United States at the
time of the Chicago fair; the premier,
Senior SagaSta, two members of the
cabinet and the staff of the United
States legation.
Much political Importance was at
tached here tC the incident, and the
banquet, coupled with the peaceful ut
terances of President Mckinley ac-
oording to a semi official report, have
been optimistically utilized by the min
isterial press.
But the Impartial today takes the
Spanish government to task for Its
apathy, contrasted with the patriotic
feeling of the country, and warns the
nation against the hypocritical Yankee
policy which really aims at the indie
pendence of Cuba"
Continuing, the Impartial says:
President Mckinley may make and
reiterate the protestation of friendship
and pacific intentions, but his actions
contradict his words. While the presi-
dent of the United States is cajoling
with US, he sharpens his dagger TO stab
us behind. While talking concordance
he utilizes his Sundays in unusual war
preparations at the docks, and cancels
the furloughs of the marines. Can we
trust those who are preventing the
pacification of Cuba and fermenting
the filibustering expeditions? Sending
warships under the Dretext of friend
ship and preaching peace? We must
prepare for war. There is no time to
acquire warships, but we should fit
out Immediately what we have, send
ing Pelayo, Colon, Carlos V. and Maria
Teresa to follow the Almirante, Oquen-
do and Vizcaya to Cuban waters. and
the rest of the fleet to guard the pc
ninsula. fe5i
The other policy is only to play the
American game, which is to exhaust
our resources and gain the independ-
ence of Cuba without risking anything.
How long does the government mean
to favor the American plans? How long
will the agonizing nation tolerate the
apathy of the government"
This language for a semi official or
gan is much commented upon.
The Paix frankly declares that Cuban
independence is imminent.

DEATH OF A MEXICAN VETERAN
MAJOR ABA A. SELOVER HAD
MANY ADVENTURES.
Among the Early Pioneers of Cali
fornia-Threw Jay Gould Into An
Alley-Cost Him Many Dollars.

New York. Feb. 24.-Major Abba A.
Selover died yesterday in this city of
diabetes, aged "A years.
| At the outbreak of the Mexican war
young Selover enlisted in the federal
army from Cleveland. He Joined Cen
eral SCOTS army at Vera Cruz and
was attached to the staff of Major
Flally, who commanded the expedition
which left Vera Cruz to cut its way
through to the City of Mexico. After
the City of Mexico had been taken
he took an active part in the eXpedl-
ton organized under the leadership of
Brigadier General Lane for the pur-
pose of capturing General Santa Ana
After the Mexican war was over he
gave up military life and came to this
city, where he entered mercantile
house as salesman. In March, 1899, he
sailed for San Francisco and was
among the early pioneers of California.
He was elected a member of the first
common council of the city and was
also appointed chairman of the commit
tee on health and police, and rendered
great service at the time of the me-
morable cholera season.
One of his most unpleasant expert
ences occurred in 1873, when he formed
pool with Jay Gould and James r.
Keene to put down the price of West
ern Union. Keene and Selover sold the
stock industriously. but some unknown
influence kept buying it in and hold
ing the price up. Major Selover and
Keene suspected Jay Gould, and the
formers suspicion became so firmly
rooted that, meeting Mr.. Gould in Ex-
change Place one day near Broad
street, he picked him up and threw
him into the area way of a barber
shop. Gould picked himself up and
walked away without saying a word,
but Major Selover's impulsive action
cost him many thousands of dollars
thereafter. He retired from active
business about six years ago.

Little Incident of the Cuban War
Insurgents Successful In Pinar
del Rio and Trinidad.

Havana. Feb. 24.-On Saturday last a
part.r Of about 40 guerillas left fort on
a farm near Aguacate. about 40 miles
from this city, las was their custom" to
dine at neighboring place. During the
absence of the guerillas detachment of
about IL insurgents occupied the fort, and
when the garrison returned from dinner

and wounded five Of the defenders. who
numbered only seven They burned all
the buildings but the dwelling OF Mr.

EXPLODED FROM UNDERNEATH
Facts and Theories That Weave
Consistent Story.
New York. Feb. PA dispatch I,
the Herald from Havana SAYS.

New York, Feb. Pa dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
There is no longer any reason to
doubt that the explosion which wrecked
the Maine came from underneath the
vessel and that her magazines had
nothing to do with the initial explosion
and played a much smaller part in the
great disaster than was at first sup
posed.
The evidence that has served TO con-
vince the board was obtained by En-
sign PoweIlson, an officer attached to
the Fern.
Mr. Powellson was formerly in the
construction corps and took a two
years special course in the Glasgow
School of Naval Architecture. He is
therefore a competent witness
What he discovered was that the for
ward part of the keel of the Maine.
with its ribs and plates, was stove up
ward so far that parts of the shattered
double bottom show out of the water,
and in places, sections of the green
painted outer hull are visible. Corrob-
orative of evidence given by Powellson
and of equal significance and import
ance is the result of the close examina-
ton made by the divers. What they
found indicates that the explosion came
from a point beneath the keel.
A plumb line dropped from a point
Just forward of the coming tower
would have laid the lead exactly on the
spot where the explosion occurred that
hove keel and plates and ribs almost to
the surface.
The main force of the explosion seems
to have been exerted slightly on the
pert side of the vessel. This is con-
sistent with the facts hitherto ascer-
tanned.
Collectively, these now indicate that
the contents of the reserve 6-inch mag
azine were exploded by the initial blast.
and that there was no explosion In
either of the other two. In the reserve
magazine was slowed $500 pounds of
powder, in copper tanks, each of which
contained 200 pounds.
Several OF these tanks have been
found by the divers, all in crushed and
shapeless masses. It is important to
note that in the 6-fnch and 1O-inch
tanks recovered the excelsior used for
packing the charges shows no injury
from flame or gases, the powder slowed
in the 6-inch reserve magazine was
used for saluting purposes only. The
magazine itself appears to have been
utterly destroyed, only a few traces
being left to showt the spot where 1t
was once located.
The under part of the 10-inch maya
zine is wholly inaccessible to divers. In
the upper part is tightly Yedged a mass
of powder cylinders, too heavy for the
divers to extrfcate, but apparently con-
tanning unexploded charges of powder.
The Dow torpedo tube of the Maine has
been located in the wreck 1t lies in
the debris forward, submerged several
feet under water.
The hull is now imbedded in the mud
to the depth of eight feet. The divers
sink to their armpits in the mud and
have the greatest difficulty in prose-
cutting their work. Those engaged on
the forward part of the ship are under
the charge of Gunner Charles Morgan,
an officers especially detailed from the
flagship New York for that purpose, and
who has the reputation of being the
most efficient of his rank.

vIzCAyA SAILS TO-DAY.
Spain's Big War Vessel Goes to
Havana.

New York, Feb. 24.-Unless some I'M
expected order is received from Madrid,
the Spanish man-of-war Vizcaya will
weigh anchor tomorrow afternoon and
steam through the Narrows to open sea
on her way direct to Havana Arturo
BaldesanO, the Spanish consul general
in New York, called on Captain Eulate
this afternoon and took to him import
ant dispatches, one of which ordered
him to leave this port without delay.
Captain Eulate has been in suspense
about the time of his sailing until the
consul general called upon him, but
the order was not unexpected, and all
day he had the vessels crew preparing
her for a voyage.
The work of coaling was continued,
with every available man handling the
buckets. so that early in the morning
the ships bunkers will be packed full.
Seamen were also busy putting the
ship in sung shape for cruising at sea.
and the ships gunners inspected and
cleaned all the guns.
After this work had been completed,
leather boxes were placed over the
gun breeches and the ships spars were
canvassed.
A number of the officers of the Viz
caya dined with Consul General and
Sonora Baldasano tonight, returning
to their ship at midnight.
