pletion by the war and navy depart
ments, and the country practically is
on a war footing.
The foregoing gives the record of one
of the most eventful days the national
capital has seen since the close of the
civil war. 1t was a day of profoundly
important action, of the deepest anx-
iety, coupled with naval and military
activity, one step following another
in rapid succession. Representative
men of the administration, public men
in all branches of official and congress
sional life, no less than the public in
general, shared in the tension to which
the situation has been wrought There
was no effort among the highest Of
ficials nor indeed was it possible for
what was clearly apparent in the de-
velopments of the day, to minimize the
situation.
Viewed in detail, the findings of the
court of inquiry was the most vital fea-
ture. Commander Mark, judge advo-
cate of the court of inquiry, delivered
the report to Secretary Long early in
the morning, and shortly after it was
carried to the White House and placed
in the hands of the president. Soon
afterward it was being discussed in
cabinet meeting.
The boards findings are that the loss
| of the Maine was due to an explosion
from the outside, the court being un-
| able to fix the responsibility for the
explosion. The court does not express
| an opinion as to the character of the
| explosive, but the testimony goes to
| show that it was a powerful subma-
rine mine, the exact character of which
| is not determined by the testimony,
| though the belief was expressed that
| 1t was floating submarine mine.
There were two explosions, the court
finds. The first was from the outside,
and that set off one of the smaller
| magazines. The report completely eX-
onerates Captain Sgsbee.
1t was this result, expressed in de-
tail and with the precision of a court
deeply conscious of its responsibility,
together with the evidence on which
1t was based, that occupied the atten-
tion of the cabinet throughout its eX-
tended sessions of the morning and
afternoon. All other and lesser sub
tects gave way to this foremost quess
ton. There was no change In the plan
of making the report public and trans
hitting IL 20 congress early next week,

/ While interest was thus centered

Washington, March 26.-The court Of
inquiry appointed to investigate the
cause of the Maine disaster has report
ed that the loss of the battleship was
due to an outside explosion. The state
department, by direction of the presi-
dent, has cabled United States Min
lister Woodford at Madrid to notify the
Spanish government of this conclusion.
The president and his cabinet ad-
visors held two extended sessions yes
terday at which the report was con-
sidered in detail Members of the
cabinet stated after the meeting that
the discussion was of grave character,
and never since the wrecking of the
Maine has the situation seemed so crit
ical.
The Spanish government has cabled
officially to Washington that the Span
ish naval commission holds the disaster
to the Maine to be of internal origin.
The government of Spain, it can be
stated positively, is not disposed to turn
back the torpedo tiotilla now proceed
ing from the Canaries, and would be
disinclined to consider q suggestion
from this government tending to in
terfere with the disposition by Spain
of her own naval forces.

SESSION.
WOmelSdOrf PrOcures MandamuS
Against the Borough Council.
MEETING HELD TO MAKE ANSWER
The Finance Committee Presented It's Bsti-
mate Of Resources and the List Of
Appropriations is
Left For the Claimant
to Take.

A special meeting of the Borough Council
was held last evening on account of the ser
vice of a mandamus upon the borough off
cials requiring the payment of the A. j.
Womelsdorf judgment against the borough
out of any unappropriated money in the
hands of the Treasurer. The judgment
amounts to 81, 113 and Councilman Coakloy
says that Mr.. Womelsdorf declines to take
anything less MI. Womesdorf says that hs
also has another claim aud that if the bor-
ough will pay him s., 100 at once he will call
quits. If he is obliged to make a fight for it
he will not only stand by the amount stated,
but also demand that he be paid two per
cent. commission on the total cost Of the
public water works.
The members in attendance at the meeting
were Messrs Mcclure, Lally, Coakley, Shoe
maker, Bell, Murphy, Englert, Hand, James
Brennan, Niswender Harkins and Boehm.
Aftera brief discussion it was decided tC
make the appropriations for the year and
Mr.. Hand, chairman Of the Finance com
mittee, presented the following report:
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-03-26

Mr.. James wauted to know why Council
increased the appropriation for the Board of
Health from S750 to $500.
President Mcclure replied that owing to
the fact that the sanitary committee of the
Borough Council had been abolished, and
Council will insist that the Chief Burgess and
Health Officer shall attend to all the work in
that line in conjunction with the Board of
Health, it was considered only just that the
latter's appropriation should be increased
Mr.. James said he would not oppose the
increase SO long as it did not mean an in
crerse of salary.
Borough Solicitor Burke wanted to know if
the appropriation of $3.50 for his Office was to
be understood as covering all services he
might render Council during the year.
President Mcclure said such was the under
standing, and the fee was the same paid the
Solicitor during recent years and it was less
during earlier years.
Mr.. Burke said he did not think the appro-
priation was sufficient and cited the salaries
paid by other towns in the county to their
solicitors, but Council showed no disposition
to make an increase,
Mr.. Bell wanted to know if the appropriS-
tion reported for the street committee was all
it would be allowed and was informed by
President Mcclure that it was, except where
special expenditures might be required, and
in that case Council generally makes an extra
allowance as occasion requires.
The appropriations were adopted as pre-
sented and Solicitor Burke said that upou
the return of the mandamus procured by
Mr.. Womelsdorf he would make answer tha
all money in the hands of the Borougl
Treasurer had been appropriated. 1t WA
understood that in the meantime the Solici
tor and law committee act under previous in

the finance committee to the appropriation O.
$50, 900 for the building of new reservoir
for the public water works, or otherwise i'm.

said the first steps Of the committee should

PROBABLY SADUSKEY.
Ringheiser's Murderer Believed to BE in
Custody Near HornellsviIIe.

1t is believed that Charles Saduskey, who
murdered Charles Rngheiser in town last
Saturday night, is in custody of the police
near Hornelsville, N Y. Detective John J.
Teole and George Ringheiser brother of
the victim, started for Syracuse this after
noon on the 1858 Lehigh Valley train
The grounds upon which these steps have
been taken are that yesterday afternoon a
telegram was received here, stating that a
young man closely answering the advertised
description of Saduskey Was in the custody
of Constable H. L. Lain, at Canisteo, small
town four miles east from Hornesville, n. Y.
Detective Toole received the message and
telegraphed back asking if the man in
custody had the letters &c. l." tatooed on
his left arm. The answer returned stated
that two initials were tatooed on the
prisoners arm, but were not very distinct
The prisoner answered the rest of the
description identically, the message stated
1t is believed Saduskey tried to get rid Of
the marks.

Mr.. Henry w. Flournoy, Jr., who, with
a party Of young VirGinians, left here
last spring TO seek his fortune I'm the
gold-felds controlled by the British
American Gold Mining Company in Bril-
fish America, writes most Interestingly
of his experiences in the gold country
Under date OF June 18th, he says, in a
letter to his mother, that he has never
seen any country which presented grand
er views than this. especially along Ma
ton river, which is nothing but a series
of canons, tall mountains. and valleys.
The mosquitoes and black fly are terrible,
and at times make life a burden. He
says nearly everybody will go out of
the country here this winter and re-
turn I'm the spring. on snow shoes. which
to my mind is the sensible thing TO do
as IL costs twice as much to sit down
and eat here as ii does in the town
He says he is in splendid health. never
felt better in his life. and weighs about
fifteen pounds more than when he left
Richmond.
In a letter TO his father under the
same date, he says he believes that at
a cost of $4,000 TO $4,000 they will be
able TO take out from 10000 to $4,000
worth of gold year.
