GOSSIP IN HAVANA.
There Are Rumors of All Sorts But Few
Based on Fact.

Havana, via Key West, February 81
Many Americans and some Spaniards
here says that the investigation has thus
far been superficial and barren Of vital
results. They claim that though nearly
two weeks have passed, no knowledge has
been gained as to the condition of the
forward part OF the hull or as to whether
the six or ten inch magazines forward to
the starboard exploded. They insist,
moreover, that expert divers, with enough
experience to make drawings of the con-
dition Of things submarine might have
been at work week ago and might have
settled the question as to the magazines
at least before this.
Those who hold those views demand
that the hull forward should be raised
| without further loss of time before it has
sunk too deep in the soft mud. There are
some who go so far as to charge the
United States government with adopting
the Spanish policy of delay until the
disaster shall be partially forgotten or
discounted. Many of the Spanish officials
are said to entertain the opinion that this
is the case and to be very well pleased
with the notion On. the other hand,
however, good judges say that all criti-
cism in this vein is made without g
knowledge of the facts and that no one
save the members of the court of inquiry
and their superiors is aware OF all the
testimony developed or of what submarine
plans have been made Those also urge
that there is no use trying to raise the
hull until the wreckage of armor, engines,
decks, guns and masts have been taken
out. To do this will take time and the
apparatus for it can only be found in the
north.
1t is said no company in the world ever

WILLIAM M. SINGERLY DEAD.
One of the Best Known Newspaper Pro
prietors in the Country.

Philadelphia, February 27.-Wm. M.
Singerly died suddenly at his residence
l70l Locust street this afternoon. Heart
disease was the cause Ct death. Mr.
SingerIy bad been suffering for about ten
DAYS from cold and had remained at home
since last Wednesday, although his in
disposition was in no way serious. While
sitting in his bedroom smoking cigar,
he was seized with violent fit of cough
ing and Immediately fell over dead. In
the room at the time were his grand
daughter, Miss Mabel S. Merideth and
two servants. His son-in-law, James 5.
Mccartney, had lett few moments be-
fore the end came, leaving Mr.. Singerly
apparently in good health.
The physicians FAY they had often
cautioned Mr.. Singerly that his heart was
weak as a result of excessive smoking
and of late his custom was to take "dry
smoke" Today, however, his cigar was
lighted and it is thought that the smoke
brought on the coughing spell, the severi-
ty of which ruptured vessel OF the heart.
Mr.. Singerly leaves q daughter, MRS. II.
Singerly Balch who is at present in
Europe.
VIM. NJ. Singerly was proprietor OF the
Record Publishing company, presloent Oh
the Chestnut National bank and the
Chestnut Savings Fund and Trust COM
pany, which recently collapsed and presl-
dent of the Singerly Pulp and PAPER
mill. He was member of the Fairmont
park commission and until lately lts

CONGRESS WILL ADJOURN EARLY
Senate and House Both Agree to
This.

Appropriation Bills Haven't Been So Far
Along in Quarter OF Century at a
Long Session.
Washington, February s7.-The House
eaders have been straining all their ener-
gies to expedite the appropriation bills
with view to an early final adjournment
and they are succeeding beyond their most
sanguine expectations.
Not in quarter of century have the
appropriation bills been SO far advanced
In a long session as they are now. Only
three Of the fourteen regular appropria.
tion bills remain i'll committee. The other
ten have gone through one or more legis-
latiye stages and one, the military
academy is in the hands of the President
awaiting his signature.
The naval bill, is practically complete
save for the provisions for dry docks and
now ships. On both these propositions the
developments Of the next few days are ex-
pected to control the action of the com
mittee.
With the appropriation bill and the i'm.
migration bill, the consideration of which
has been get for March Is, out of way,
nothing remains to prolong the session of
Congress save the question of the annexa-
tion of Hawaii or war. The leaders on
both sides are looking ahead, and elimi-
mating both these subjects as probabilities
or possibilities of delay, agree that appro.
priation bills should be passed and that
Congress should be ready to adjourn early
in May.
The programme for the coming week
includes the completion of the sundry
civil bill, action on the bill for the relief
Of the victims and survivors Of the Maine
disaster, the Senate bill authorizing the
enlistment OF two additional regiments of
artillery and the Loud bill relating to
second class mail matter. The latter bill
has been made the special order for Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
Beyond the fact that the Corbett case
will be decided Monday and the fact that
tho bill regulating the right OF way
for railroads in Alaska and for other pur-
poses will probably be taken up, the pro-
gramme in the Senate for this week is
quite indefinite. The Alaska bill is OF
much wider scope than it's title indicates
and 1t will not be voted upon without
considerable discussion. There is no
general disposition to defeat the bill, but
some Senators are of the opinion that it
should be amended in several particulars
and they will seek to secure these changes
before the vote is taken. 1t Is thought the
bill will pass after day OF two of talk
upon it.
It is probable that after the Alaskan
bill is disposed of, some of the bills of
less general Importance on the calendar
will be considered.
This fact is causing Senators to begin
to talk about final adjournment at a far
earlier date than usual Three of the bills
which are as Jet unconsidered are the
District of Columbia, the naval and the
sundry civil bills. These are all important
measures and each is liable to cause de-
| bate, but Senators agree that until there
is some other reason for postponing adj
| journment, it can be reached by May or
June.

SPAIN WOULDN'T ARBITRATE.

SPAIN WOULDN'T AkBIIKAIE.
Madrid, Feb. 27.-Senor Sagasta, COM
menting upon an alleged interview with
Prince Bismark in which the latter is re-
ported as suggesting that the Cuban
trouble should be submitted to the Pow
ers fer arbitration, expressed his aston
ishment that such an idea could emanate
from Prince Bismark and declared en-
phatically that Nothing but Ignorance
of the question could inspire the notion
that Spain would suffer foreign intru-
sion or submit to arbitration her indis-
putable rights of sovereignty. :" No
body" said he, ''would dare propose
such an absurdity.. and no Spanish gov
ernment would listen or dream of such a
proposal.

MILES TELLS OF ARMY,s NEEDS.
Commanding General Asks For Increased
Military Embellishments

| commanding General Asks For Increased
Military Establishment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-General Miles
appeared yesterday before the house
committee on military affairs for q
hearing relative to the proposed reor-
ganization and increase of the army.
General Miles addressed himself to the
general need Of increasing the army.
He said that he had always favored the
establishment of fixed standard for
the army. The experience of the last
year. he said, had demonstrated that
our present military establishment was
unable to maintain our position as q
first class power. The war with Spain
had shown pretty clearly how many
men would be required, General Miles
said. The war had employed $4,000
men for actual field operations at vari.
GUS points. Of these $4,000 men went
to Manila, 10000 to Cuba and 10000 to
Porto Rico
At the same time the general pointed
out that the necessities at home must
not be overlooked; the entire frontier
! had been stripped of troops during the
late war, and complaints are coming in
that the lives, families and property of
those along the frontier We're jeopardized
by Indians. In particular there were
fears Of an outbreak in the Sioux coun-
try because Of the absence of troops.
1t was not desirable, therefore, so to
withdraw our forces from the frontier
as to leave them defcnseless or to invite
disorder. These considerations, said
General Miles, had led him to recon-
mend a standard Of one soldier for 1000
population at home, with native troops
on a basis Of two native soldiers for
every 1000 population.

Chicaeoans Up In Arms.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-Democrats, Re-
publicans and citizens, irrespective of
party, assembled in mass meetings in
various wards of the city last night and
declared themselves unalterably opposed
to any street railway legislation under
the Allen law. Prominent speakers were
in attendance at all the meetings. The
war machinery of the Democratic party
took up the cause, just as the executive
committee Of the Republican party had
few days previous. Chicago has never
witnessed such u spectacle before, and it
is doubtful if any other city has. Mayor
Harrison called for volunteers to help
him win the fight against the 5O-year
franchise ordinance OH the proposition:
ono franchise extension ordinance of
any kind until the Allen law is re.
pealed.i
