kENTUCKYS TRAITOR.
A Negro Who Would Shoot Americans Before
 Shootings Spaniards.

Louisville, Feb. 2s.-The Rev. D. A. Cad die, pastor of the Green street colored Bap- tist church, created a sensation last night by declaring in sermon that he would pick up gun and kill an American before he would defend this country against for eign invasion.
 The Rev. Gaddle declared that the nc- groes were not respected in this country, that the law was a dead letter as applied to them, that they were not protected, and that they were not given fair show, and that this account he would not under any circumstances aid in fighting the Spaniards or any other nation with whom the United States might be at war He advised his flock to follow in his lead. but the sermon was generally denounced by the colored people of the city, of whom 10000 are able to bear arms.
 Already the colored people of Louisville had formed two companies of volunteers to fight the Spanish in case of war and the colored troops are drilling nightly. They say that they will assist in defending the United States with their last drop of blood.

GRUESOME TASK
 RECOVERING DEAD
Goes on at Havana Harbor- Work of Divers Impeded
 by Sinking of Wreck.

Havana, Feb &-Litt,e work was done today by divers from the tug Right Arm. Captain McGee, who is in charge, seems to lack authority from the wrecbing people or others and is indisposed to work and use his own judgment except in smaller de- tails
 Captain Sigsbee was on board the United States lighthouse tender Fern until 2 o'clock this afternoon. He waited for the Spanish divers, but they did not appear. Captain Sfgslbee thinks Spain has a moral and international right to make inde- pendent examination and he will give the Spanish divers such facilities as are posSi- ble.
 Captain Sigsbee hopes the survey steam CT Bache will return to the Tortugas to- morrow or the next day with all of the Maine's wounded left here, and he also hopes to send on the Bache hereafter all the remains recovered in @ condition to be placed in collins.
 Three Hours With One Body
 The difficulty experienced in recovering the bodies Is not understood by any but the divers. They yesterday worked for three hours trying to bring out one body intact and one of the divers had a bad fall, and several got their air tubes tangled. They could not extricate the remains The prin- cipal efforts of the divers are now directed toward clearing the upper wreckage decks, guns, matches, bridges, cranes and grait- ings. Then and not before all tine dead can be removed.
 Captain .Sdgsbee continues to receive in great numbers. All the queries about the men who lost their lives when the Maine was blown up are answered as soon as possible if there is anything to be told.
 One of the saddest letters received by Captain Sigsibee was from the brother Of dead man, who wrote that when death was claiming its victim his friends at home were celebrating bis birthday and wishing him many happy returns of the day.
 Proctor Will Call on Blanco
 Senator Proctor had expected to pay his personal respects to Capt.-Gen. Blanco to- day iy company with Col Parker and Con- sul-General Lee, but the captain-gener has been unusually busy in getting ready for the outgoing mails and has fixed 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for Senator Proctor's call.
 One body has been recovered today
 The Spanish divers did not make their examination today. Capt. Sigsbee expect ed them and probably will be advised to- night as to when they will begin their in- vestigation. He was much gratifed at re- covering today in good condition his in- signia of the order of the Red Eagle (Prussian) and the gold medal presented to him by the international fisheries expo sition in London in 1SS3
 Late today Capt McGee, of the tug Right Arm. received orders from the con- tractors to hire such lighters as are nec- essary to remove the debris from the wreck. This will facilitate the work of re- moving the dead and generally hasten op- erations.
 Senator Proctor, who passed most of the day indoors writing private letters a-d reading says his visit will be too brief to make his observations of any interest to the public and therefore he has nothing to offer for publication.

REQUIEM MASS FOR
 MARTYRS OF MAINE Cardinal Gibbons Compliments Officials and Congress on
 Their Calmness.

Baltimore, Md, Feb 2S-A solemn re- quem mass for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives with the de- struction of the battleship Maine in Ha- vana was celebrated at the cathedral here this morning. Cardinal Gibbons made an address and read the services for the dead. A number of naval and military officers were present, including those of the militia and naval reserves.
 The cardinal said: "Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the president and on the members of his cabinet and par ticularly on the secretary of the navy and his able assistant, as well as on the houses of congress, for the calmness and tranquility, the sef-control and the self possession which they have exhibited dur ing the fearful ordeal through which the country has been passing during the last few days. It needed only spark to kin dle a great confagration, and the patient and dgnified bearing of the executive and legislative bodies are all the more con- mendable in view of the mischievous and incorporate utterances of some sensation al newspapers.
 An Unrighteous War
 'sThis nation is too brave, too strong, too powerful and too just to engage in an umighteous or precipitate war Let us remember that the eyes of the world are on us whose judgment we cannot despise, ana
 
 for ourselves by calm deliberation and mas teriy inactivity than by recourse to arms Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just
 q hope and believe for the honor of hl- manity that the destruction of the Maine was caused by an accident, and in that case Spain cannot be responsible. But sup pose some fiendsh Cuban had accustomed this fearful loss of life in order to embroii our nation in war with hds mother country. In that case Spain should not. be held re- sponsdble And even had some fanaticai Spaniard perpetrated this atrocdous crime there would be no necessity for @ recourse to arbitrament of the sword.
 The Spanish Government
 sATbe only circumstances that would war r.-x hostilities would be the evidence thai tha Snanish government connived at the nIacine of .torpedoes or explosives In the harbor of Havana to destroy our vessels Rut do not believe, and no sane man can believe. that a chvalric nation would be guilty of such inhumanity.
 ss~hese brave men did not die, indeed, on the deck of the ship with weapons in thesr hands. Nevertheless, we must regard them ass<the heroes or martyrs to this country, who died at the post to which the call of duty assigned them. I earnestly hope that the day is not far off when a grateful nation will show her appreciation of the service of those faithful public serv- ants by erecting to their memory suitable monument a monument which will not only commemorate the dead, but which will be an incentive of patriotism to the living by keeping before them the sentiment so well expressed by the Roman poet: "Dulce ct decorum propatria mori' ct is sweet and honorable to die for one's country).

MAINE BLOWN UP BY DESIGN
 WILL BE THE REPORT OF
 THE BOHRD OF INQUIRY
Blown Up Bu Design.

d Key West, Feb. 2S.-An officer of the
 ' Maine who had been examined by the 2court today talked at length with the q correspondent of the Associated Press . "I can't tell you," said he, what E line of questioning was adopted, but z the court will find, believe, that the Maine was blown up by design. though do not think 1t will be able to as- 8 certain exactly how. The courts q findings will be based on negative rather than positive evidence. By this II mean that all the testimony heard < so far has upset the theories Of those who think the explosion was of in- 2 ternal origin. This negative evidence ' is so strong and so full that see no < possibility of the court deciding that .s the explosion was internal The only 3s alternative then left for the court is S to fall back on evidence which points the intentional blowing up of the 2 Maine. This, I think, will be done z unless the court formulates theory of It's own or declares that it does not
 q know how the disaster occurred, both ; of which are conjecturai"
 Members of the court, when the < substance of the interview was brought to their attention, declined to < have anything to say. All the high 2 naval and military officials here, when
 c asked crucial questions, politely pro-
 ' fess ignorance.

 the Department.

Albany, N. r., Feb 2S.-The activity at the Watervliet arsenal and gun foundry continued today. Since the Maine disas- ter there has been hush of anxiety and suspense about the place. Old residents in that vicinity who remember the rush or ders that were given when Fort Sumter was fired upon state the conditions now are the same as that time Officers will not say anything. It was learned at the gun factory today that twelve mortars have been boxed and are ready for shipment as soon as cars arrive to convey them to their destination, Sandy Hook. It Is understood part of the shipment will be made tomor- row morning.
 Twenty machinists whose names appear on the eligible civil service were notified Saturday by the secretary of the local civil service board to appear at the gun shop tomorrow ready to go to work.

 The master mechanic Alfred Christian sen, an expert on the building of rifles of large ealibre. and who has superintended the manufacture of rifles at the arsenal for the past eight years, will leave tomorrow ostensibly for Washington at the order of the war department, but in reality for thS loiulicsttioIS anu cOdSl ueIenSeS where the guns which have been sent from the Watervliet arsenal are located. He will make a thorough examination of the con- dition of the huge pieces of ordnance.
