Divorce Granted.

LANCASTER, Pa, Mar. 24-Sarah
Gossler Pague, wife of Lieutenant
Samuel S. Pague, late of the U. S. A.,
was granted a divorce to-day, the pro-
ceedings being the outcome of the at
tempt of Pague to kill Colonel Crofton
at Fort Sheridan, Chicago, in 1895.
Pague on entering his home found his
colonel there, and drawing his revol-
yer fired two shots at him, neither OF
which struck him. He accused his
superior with undue intimacy with his
wife. Pague was court=martialed and
dismissed from the army. Mrs. Pague
came to this county, her native place,
and instituted proceedings for divorce
with the above result. She stated that
at the time of the shooting Colonel
Orofton came to inquire about the con-
dition of her husband who was then
under arrest for drunkenness.

SPANISH AFFAIRS.

There is more talk in Madrid of an
international court to settle the Maine
dispute. Spain, it is said, would prefer
Swiss, Belgian or Swedish arbitrators to
English.
Members of the Madrid cabinet are
reported to be divided, some of them
being strongly in favor Of war. The
peace party there is active.
Several democratic Senators from the
South, including Senator Bacon, Of
Georgia, called at the White House
Yesterday on the invitation of President
Mckinley. The President was advised
by Mr.. Bacon not to demand en- in
demnity for the loss of the Maine, but
to throw the burden of action upon
Spain, after communicating to that gov
eminent the finding of the court of in
quiry.
La Lucia, of Havana, maintains that
the American court of inquiry, owing
to the short time it was there, could
not give a scientific report on the
Maine disaster. American naval Of
icers," says La Luchs, "are not likely
to decide against brother officers. The
divers could not give expert testi-
mony, owing to the fact that the
Names machinery was imbedded four
feet in the mud. 1t is greatly to be
regretted that more time and care were
not given to the preparation of re-
mort for which the whole world waits
and which is likely to change the en-
tire feelings of part of the American
people toward Spain and Cuba" La
Lucha publishes also an interview with
Consul General Lee, which quotes him
as saying that be knows nothing of the
nature of the report, but is satisfied that
General Blanco never knew OF the dis
aster until ne heard the shock in the
hsrbor
"The independence OF Cuba can be obtain
ed without war, if President Mckinley is left
alone, and is not forced by the extreme
Cuban symplthizers said Senator Elkins
yesterday, who at the same time announced
that be was doing what he could to prevent
hasty action in tho Sc ate, and urging Sena-
tors to give the President time to carry out
his own policy. Mr.. Elkins said that, i'll his
opinion, the destitute should be cared for, and
that peareful means would bring bring about
the freedom of Cuba.

DISASTROUS FLooDs.-The recent
heavy rains in western Pennsylvania,
in Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Hi
nois and other States in the central
West for several days, have caused
great damage and last night thousands
of persons lives and property were in
danger by floods. In some cases con-
siderable loss of life is reported. There
are many cities and towns bordering
the banks of the Ohio, the Mononga-
hela, the Allegheny, the Miami, the
Scioto, the Wabash, the Usage and
other broad streams, and in these pop.
ulous centres there is much fear. Low
lying houses are flooded, levees are
breaking, trolley lines stopped, electric
light plants and power houses dam
aged so that they are not in operation,
factories shut down by the high waters,
telephone and telegraph wires down,
bridges swept away, and in hundreds
of other ways the storm driven waters
are manifesting their terrible power.
The scores of railroad lines linking

still. Weshouts, wrecked bridges and
landslides make progress impossible on
many routes, and on others the few
trains that are running are hours late.
In the farming lowlands the rivers are
miles wide, and the inhabitants, many
of whom have had to flee from their
homes, are circliug about in boats try
ing to save what they can from the
wreckage that is being swept down
stream. Wheat fields are flooded and
rich farming lands completely submerg
ed. The losses will run upinto millions.
A dispatch from GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
says that four thousand persons have
been driven from their homes and very
few have saved any of their household
effects. More than fifty persons are re-
ported missing. The supply of skiffs
was wholly inadequate to rescue the
people and it will take all night to get
them on dry land. Much restitution
prevails.

A GERMAN PAPER ON CUBA.
The Hamburger Nachvichten, the or
gan of Prince Bismarck, in an editorial
on Cuba saws:


The Government of the United States has
officially taken up the Cuban question, and
the Spanish government, very justly, looks
upon this action as an interference in her ia
ternal affairs. 1t does not matter how badly
Cuba may be governed by Spain land we
would be the last ones to defend her on this
account), the fact nevertheless remains that
Spain cannot permit any other government to
dictate to her how to govern Cuba and how
and in what timo to subdue the instruction.
The fact that Cuba in a geographical sense is
a part of America, gives that government nc
right to Interfere. Such Intervention mnst
hurt the national pride Of Spain very bsdly,
because that country looks upon the United
States as sn upstart, which has already in
hicted untold misery to the kingdom on
which once "the sun never set" But this
action of the United States government is not
only an afftont to Spain, but IS we'll as one to
the whole of Europe, because it is the first
time that trans marine power proceeds in
such manner against any European govern
ment, and this proceeding emanates from
country that little over century ago was
only vast forest.

NEW YORK, March 24.-At Keyp,rt, N.

aration for testing, for which the inyentor
makes strong claims. Its bore is three inches
and it is eleven feet long. 1t is claim that
the gun will throw five pounds Of dynamite
mile with enough force to pierce half inch
steel plate. The inventor believes that pro-
jectile ON this gun striking at the Va ter
line will blow up battleshp or other large
war vessel
