of the Senate and House clearly indicate

ceived in Washington, reproductions of

With the general tenor of newsnaner dis
patches, have gone far TO convince mem.
bers Of Congress that the Maine was
blown up from the outside. They are
willing to wait reasonable length of
time for the board of inquiry TO discover
something definite, but as the genera,
opinion is in favor of torpedo or sub
marine mine. failure to discover positive
evidence of an accident will only serve to
confirm this opinion.
Several wen-known Senators talked
with say that they are being fairly inun-
dated with letters and kilograms regard
ing the catastrophe in Havana harbor.
and that ninety nine out of a hundred of
them look upon the explosion as the result
OF Spanish plot and demand action ac-
cordinGly. Conservative leaders are be-
coming startled by these expressions or
public opinion. and they say this is eyi-
dnce of q rising tide of popular indgna-
tion which viii sweep Congress from its
feet unless something is done to allay the
excitement.

as a declaration OF ,xar and the beginning
of war. a Government torpedo eXplod-
ed under the Main, by a trusted Govern
mcnt officia is as hostile if not as open an
insult / matters not that the Spanish
officials in Havana expressed their horror
of the destruction Of the Maine, and the
Queen of Spain sent her condolences to
the President.
When the board of inquiry establishes
the fact that there are torpedoes in the
harbor, that Blanco's naval officer guided
the Maine to her anchorage, and that a
torpedo was exploded by means of the
secret cables controlled by the Spanish
Government officials, there can be no fur
ther investigation o. inquiry. This Gov
ernment will not trs to find out who ex-
ploded the torpedo The whole case then
rests with Spain. On her rests the re-
sponsibility. On S9ain will be the sus-
picion of having made another treacher-
Gus assault upon the United States. Those
who are most experienced in diplomacy
and the more delicate relations of Govern
ments express the opinion that the Pres-
dent can do nothing but declare war on
Spain and send the navy to lombard Ha-
yana. He must accept the evidence be-
fore him.
Spain alone can prevent war under such
circumstances by making amends. She
can express her regl cts, tender her apollo
gies, lay hands on the criminals whom
Blanco must know. because they must
have been in his employ, and execute
them, salute the American flag and offer
to pay an indemnity for the loss of the
ship and another for the lives of the 25O

ports are not contradicted promptly and
officially Congress viii surely respond
with declaration of war. which is clearly
within its powers, and which the Prcsi-
dent will be forced to obey. The people
demand that if ships and men are to be
lost it shall be in open warfare. and not
in so-called peaceful harbors. Any police
magistrate would hold the Spaniards un-
der the evidence now at hand ON suspi-
cion and require them to prove their in
nocence. This is exactly the position TAX
en- by nine-tenths of the members of Con-
gress. This opinion, declares the CORE
spondent, represents clearly the private
sentiment of Senators and Representa-
tives. They all say that the time has gone
by for any questions of belligerency and
that the only point at issue now is whether
the United States shall seize Havana
harbor, root up its submarine mines and

NOTES OF THE DISASTER.

Brief Pits of Important News Bearing
on the Horror in Havana Harbor.
The wreck has sunk several feet already
in the soft mud
The Spanish Government will stake al
on the claim that the disaster was acci
dental.
The main portion of the wreck, as seen
from above and noted from below, was
blown to starboard.
large quantity of clothing has been
taken from the wreck and will be given
to the reconcentrados.
The Spanish anti-American feeling in
Havana is growing and Americans are in
suited openly on the streets
The most intense anxiety is shown by
the Spanish officials in Havana, who are
in constant communication with Madrid.
Divers found the bodies of twenty men
in hammocks, where they had been in
stantly killed by the shock of the explo-
sion.
Admiral Sicard issued orders forbidding
any United States official or sailor to talk
of the Maine disaster with outsiders un-
der severe penalty.
Significance is attached to the fact that
the wrecked ship was the first foreign
war vessel to be anchored to that par
ticular buoy since the Cuban trouble be-
gan.
Sharks have given little trouble. but
the vultures left scarcely anything but
the skeletons of three men, who were en-
tangled in debris very near the surface
of the water.
A Spanish lieutenant openly boasted
that if any other United States warship
arrived she would be served the same
way. His brother officers applauded him
uproariously.
One thing seems certain. if the Maine
was blown up by an outside agency, the
agent was mine, and not a torpedo, as
no torpedo known could have produced
such tremendous results.
The number of missing is eighty five OF

a Washington correspondent, and it takes
ali incident OF this sort to show it up IN
its full strength and magnitcence.
Gev. Tanner of Illinois was the first to
offer the fighting forces of his State to the
nation. Gov Mount of Indiana telegraph
ei that Indiana would make a generous
response to arms. Gov. Black of New
York sent word that militia of the En-
pire State, numbering 14,000, could mo-
bilize within twenty-four hours after or
ders were received. The belief is also ex-
pressed that there are 600, 900 men in New
York State available for service. Gov.
Atkinson of West Virginia insists that he
will furnish at short notice fifteen of the
best regiments that can be raised in the
Union. Gov. Holcomb of Nebraska will
supply 1,200 well-drilled men and pledge
200, 900 volunteers. Gov. Wells of Utah
says his State will do its full duty when
it comes TO raising troops. Adjt. Gen.
Sykes of Tennessee will enlist l,S00 ex-
perienced soldiers and raise $4,000 yolun-
teers. Gov. Clough OF Minnesota wires:
"Minnesotians are fighters, and will only
be satisfied in the front ranks" Gov.
Stephens of Missouri declares that If war
is declared he will issue call for $50, 900
troops.
And so it goes and so 1t comes, with
other warrior States to hear from. There
is no lack of soldiers. Spain can depend
upon that. Old Glory was at haif-mast
because the tears were being shed for the
dead in Havana. but it proudly and de-
family waves in the breezes that blow
from the north, south, east and west. and
it will be well for he Spaniard If the
good ship Maine went to the bottom of the
Havana harbor as the result of an in
scrutable act of providence.

assertions are thought to be reliable, says

In Case of Trouble with Spain the
United States Would BE Prepared.
In spite of all denals it is well known
that unusual efforts are being made to
arm and eq.ip every sea coast fortifca-
ton, and that the regular army officers
throughout the country have been quietly
notified to put their commands into the
best possible condition. The President
does not want war. and viii so a long
ways out of his way to avoid it, but he
fully recognizes the force of public senti-
ment and is preparing rapidly for the
worst that may come. Press dispatches
from different points show preparation
that is being made:
New Orleans, LATHE United States
cruiser Marblehead has joined the North
Atlantic squadron at Dry Tortugas.
St. Louis. Mo.--The war fever coz
tinues unabated. and already the work .:
organizing companies here has begun.
Washington.-All the marines on shore
duty have been ordered to hold themselves

Piumhing Declared Void.

At the last session of the Legs ,ature a
law was ADOPTED providing for the exam
ination and licensing of all who are en-
gagged in the plumbing business. Judge
Sutherland, ut Milwaukee, has rendered
an opinion declaring tho law unconstitu-
tional and invalid. The object of the law
was to limit tue number both of the so
called master plumbers and the journey
men plumbers, and this object was ac-
conlplished in part over month ago.
when out of about 300 men examined only
about 60 per cent passed the examination,
while the remaining were refused licenses
and deprived of their means of earning a
livelihood. They sued. and Judge Suther-
lands decision will bring joy TO their
homes. There are two serious defects in
the law, the coart finds, one being the re-
quirement that a journeyman plumber
must pass the same examination as the
master plumber, and the other the perms-
sion given to firms to have but one of their
members take out license. The case
was decided upon the complaint of Jacob
Winkler, who failed to pass the exam
ination and was refused license,

acceptable, and the independence of Cuba
would be one of these conditions. The
diplomats see no other way to prevent
war if it should be established that the
Maine was blown up by torpedo or mine.
They brush aside tie suggestion that it
could have been the act of fanatic of
either faction in Cuba. No mere enthu-
siast or fanatic could have access to the
secret keyboard which communicated
with the torpedoes laid in the harbor un-
der Government supervision. Spain must
stand responsible for the men who could
gain access to that keyboard, just as she
