JENKINS BODY FOUND.
1t is Readily identified in a Number
of Ways.

Havana, March 25.-The body of Lieu
tenant Jenkins, of the Maine, has been
found near the torpedo tube aft, as it
has been hoped would be the case. The
remains, of course, were badly decom
posed, though not so badly as many
others found previously since the explo-
sion.
1t was recognizable aside from the
clothing. On his finger was found
gold clasp ring with a blOodstOne seal,
with his monogram, and inside the in
scriptiOn, IF. w. Jenkins, class '86, ..
S. n. A"
Private papers were also found in his
pockets. The body will be prepared for
burial as well as possible and will be
enclosed in a metallic casket and sent
to Key West on Saturday. Thence it
will be disposed Of as decided by the
relatives of the deceased in the United
States.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 25.-The moth
er of Lieut.. jenkins was shown the As
ISOLATED Press bulletin announcing the
finding of her sons body. She was very
much affected, but thankful that the
strain of uncertainty has been removed
She had hoped against hope until lately
that her boy would be found alive
through some miracle. She will at once
notify the authorities at the naval sta
ton at Key West to have the body sent
to Allegheny City at the earliest posi-
ble moment.

IT'S NO WONDER
Says the London News, That the
President Has Trouble in Hold
ing Congress Down.

London, March 25.-The Standard,
this morning, commenting editOrially on
the cabled abstracts of Senator Thurs
TONS speech in the United States SEN
ate, severely censures it as a fragrant
example of the recklessness of Ameri-
can politicians in goading the Spanish
people to war.
The editorial proceeds:
Such Oratory only adds to the in
suits Spain has borne hitherto with a
proud calm which won European re-
spect and should have shamed even
bellicose senators. Such folly is unpar-
dOnable in a representative of a great
nation that is forever declaring it's af-
lection for high principles.
If, however, Mr.Thurston was aware
of the intentions of the Washington
government the speech was significant,
that the government would scarcely
employ a speaker SO deficient in self
restraint unless it wished the public
mind to be fully prepared for war.
Fortunately, there is no clear evidence
yet that President Mckinley is of Mr..
ThurstOn's way of thinking
The Daily News in an editorial on the
conflict between congress and Presi-
dent Mckinley" says:
1T is no wonder, after the horrors Of
the Weyler regime in Cuba that the
president finds it hard to hold congress
in hand

had been treating for nine months and
was getting no better. He called on
Prof. Samuels and was cured in six
weeks of catarrh and sore eyes
Mrs. Warner, wife of Councilman J.
S. Warner had been suffering several
years with a bad case of sore eyes. She
had tried several doctors and most of
the so-calIed oculists in town,
but got no relief. She was induced to
months treatment she was entirely
cured. When Mr.. Warner settled for
the glasses he remarked that he never
paid out money more cheerfully in his
life.
Mr.. Jas. Heron, general agent of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company,
who resides at BOG West Eighth street,
is another beneficiary of Prof. Sam
uels' treatment. In 1895 his eyes be-
came so badly affected that he treated
with a Topeka oculist six months
uary, 1897, his eyes had became so bad
he could not stand the light and had to
remain in a dark room the entire day
He went to Prof. Samuels soon after
wards and in two weeks was cured and
has had no trouble with his eyes since.
Both Don and Lucille Mu1yane, have
been fitted with glasses by Prof. Sam
uels and recommend his work very
highly.
Mrs T. Crouch, who is a dressmaker
at 1890 Polk street, suffered for six or
seven years from a bad case of catarrh.
After taking various treatments, she
finally decided to try Prof. Samuels.
After three months treatment the ca
tarrh was entirely cured and although
that was three years ago it has never
returned.

FATTH IN mKTNLEY.

The State Journal is not among those
who hold President Mckinley under
suspicion in his actions toward Cuba.
We believe that the President is sin
cere in MS intentions to uphold the
honor of the United States in this grave
crisis. Many stories are in circulation
IN regard to the influence that is being
brought to bear by the mOnied centers
TO prevent the President from discharg-
ing his whole duty toward the people
of this country and the people of Cuba
The Journal is not ready to accept as
true any statement yet made that the
President has yielded to any PROPOSE
ton that would prove dishOnOrable.
While Mr.. Mckinley was at the be-
ginning of this serious affair not as rap
id in his action as could have been
wished, when he thoroughly realized
how strongly moved the country is in
this matter he at once accepted the
great responsibility thrust upon him and
like a true representative of 10000, 600
American citizens he is endeavoring to
the best of his ability to carry out
their wishes and tocrystallize their sent
iments into action.
The State Journal is willing to abide
by his judgment and will not believe he
is false to his trust until stronger evil
dence has been offered than certain rad
zeal and too hasty newspapers and poll
ticians have yet produced.
Cuba shall be free, and we believe
that it is President NcKinley's inten-
tion to bring about her freedom in
manner that will be an honor and
glory to the great nation that has chO-
sen him as its President.

American officials have done all in their

to retard the distribution of provisions is
erroneous. 1 am going to my home in

CEASE WoBBLING.
That is the Advice of the London
Graphic to This Government

London, March 25--The Daily Graph
ic says editorially this morning:
I'VE think it time that washington
ceased webbing. Weeks ago it was said
that the starting of the Spanish torpedo
ffotilIa for the West Indies would COM
pei America to declare war. Today the
f1otilla is steaming straight for Porto
Rico. Meanwhile astute senators in
Washington and over clever journalists
in New York are planning ingenious
campaigns to fix the odium Of declaring
war on Spain.
''Surely this is unworthy of the Amer
lean people Two clear lines OF policy
are before President Mckinley: Either
to cooperate with the Sagasta cabinet
in making Cuba home rule a reality or
to give Spain peremptory notice to quit.
ITO avoid both courses is to turn the
terrible Maine disaster into a sort Of
gruesOme red herring. If President
Mckinley does not mean war let him
say so and the horrors in Cuba VIII
soon be mitigated.'

MOVEMENT OF SPANISH
FIotiIla Causes Increased Activity at
the War and Navy Departments.

Washington, March 25.-The last day
before the arrival of the report of the
Maine court of inquiry was one OF un-
exampled activity in all official quart
ers. Advices came that the Spanish
torpedo fiotiIla had sailed from the Ca
naries for Porto Rico, and from this
moment the most energetic Warlike
measures followed one another in con-
slant succession. The movement Of
this fleet has been watched with the
keenest interest as it was felt to in
vOIve serious possibilities, which might
compel the United States government
to protest against the movement as Of
a hostile charac ter. Immediately on the
receipt of the official dispatch from one
of our naval attaches abroad, briefly
announcing the sailing of the fleet the
fact was made known to the president
and an earnest conference was held be-
tween him and Secretary Long and
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt. The Sc
robustness of the movement was fully
considered and the president was ad-
vised that naval StrategiStS regarded
it as essential that this torpedo fleet
should not be allowed to reach western
waters
Admiral Sicard has been granted
leave. very much to the regret of the
navy department.
Captain Sampson has been made
commander of the fleet at Key West.
Captain Evans has been ordered to
take command of the battleship Iowa.
Near the close of the day came an
announcement that the navy depart
ment had succeeded in purchasing
eight steam yachts and four steam tugs
probably at or near New York for use
in the auxiliary naval fleet.

states in the letter that he had discov-
cred a mine under the Maine. He writes
much of a startling nature, but the rel
atives refuse to make it public, but say
it will come out in the report of the
board of inquiry.
The letter has been forwarded to sew

Mrs. Jones yesterday.
