Madrid Is Anxious.

Madrid, March 1.-Greater anxiety is
visible here in regard to the verdict OF
the United States naval court of inquiry
into the loss of the battleship Maine
than was apparent a week ago. The con-
slant rumors of possible hostilities are
harassing and weakening the govern
ment, and they are also trying to the pa
thence of the public.
The lingo papers, publish exhaustive
dispatches from New York and Wash
ington to the effect that the relations be-
tween the United and Spain are hourly
becoming more strained, and attrihuting
to President Mckinley a series of anti
Spanish declarations.

SILAS ID. DRAKE.

SILAs d. DRAKE.
Nothing demoralizes the health sooner
or more completely than even the occa-
sional loss of sleep. To start new day
with the brain unrefreshed is like trying
to keep a WORKOUT horse up 10 his work
with the whip instead of by feeding. The
incessant brain activity is as if the skull
were laid bare and the surface of the
brain were struck lightly every few sec
onds and without a sign of "let-up."
Thus sleeplessness imperceptibly, but
no less surely, destroys the brain cells
that are the source of mental power and
the health of every organ of the body.
Paine's celery compound gets the ner-
vous system out of this dangerous 'rut of
sleeplessness. 1t supplies nourishment to
the nervous tissues faster than they are
worn out, and does not let the nutrition
of these delicate parts get low enough to
bring on insomnia.
One of the earliest evidences of the final
success of Paine's celery compound In cur
ing debility, nervousness, sleeplessneSSs
and arrangements of liver and kidneys is
the increased appetite, the clearer SKIN,
and the indescribable precursor OF health,
a feeling of "well being" that takes the
place of the tired, lanquid, melancholy
condition.

It has already been a matter of COM
ment that with all the ability com
prised in this court of inquiry it has one
weak spot, namely, the lack of practical
experience of the construction of ship
in its members. To remedy this the court
has called upon the department to send
to their aid a constructor and carpen-
ter and in compliance with the request
Secretary Long has directed Naval Con-
structoe Hoover and Carpenter Helm
to report to the court at Key West.
It is expected that they will go to Ha-
yana when the court returns there, AND
from familiarity with the structure OF
the Maine they will be of great assist
ance in Identifying portions of the
wreck.

THE GUILTY PRESS.
A Well Known Reformer Scores the
Shouters For War.

A Well Known Reformer Scores the
Shouters For War.
Newton, Mass, Feb. 2S.-Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps Ward, the Well-known re-
former and novelist, in a communication
to the press, denounces the attitude of
some newspapers in connection with the
disaster to the United States battleship
Maine. Under the heading The Guilty
Press" Mrs. Ward likens the work done
by these publications to that of man
who, when a great city was on fire, went
from end to end of it with kerosene and
gasaline tanks starting and feeding the
blaze wherever he could. People did
not find him out at once" says Mrs.
Ward, "supposing the mischief to be
part of the original conflagration."
When he was discovered with an oil hose
in hand ingeniously pouring petroleum
upon an unburned district, he was
treated to an expression of popular opin-
ion which saved some trouble TO the
courts after the fire was over.
Continuing, Mrs. Ward says: The
other day a battleship, peaceably an
chored and courteously received in a
foreign port, blew up, and several hum
dred men were killed and mangled. The
chances are lldl bilio " eNS Ga
There is a possibility It was not an acct
dent. 1t is impossible that the disaster
could represent the official treachery OF
a civilized government. These conclu-
xions are clear. Cool, sane men accept
them. Logic forces them; good sense
and humanity welcome them.
But horror is easily followed by ten
dency to mania. This is a law with
which we have to reckon. To check or
control the mental disorder consequent
upon a great public calamity, is the first
duty of every well-balanced mind.
There is no more need of a war with
Spain than there was of a war with Eng
land or with Chilli. The administration
thanks to the statesmen who honor 1t
does not want war. A congress which.
up to this time, exhibits the patriotism
of self-restraint, does not want war. The
people do not want war. Nobody wants
n but Adventures and the incendiary
press. Happily, the fire feeders cannot
declare war; though they do their worst
to create it.
What should be said of the newspaper
men who might be guilty of causing such
unreasonable woe? God only could for
give them. This country never would

STILL A MYSTERY,
Disaster to Warship Ma ne an
Unsolved Problem.

Naval Board of Inquiry Lacks Experts In
Shipbuilding-To Remedy This Con-
structor and Carpenter Ordered to
Aid Them.
Washington, March 1.-Two weeks
ago last night the battleship Maine was
destroyed in Havana harbor, and in
spite of the greatest diligence on the part
of the officers charged with an inquiry
into the affair, the cause of the disaster
is still shrouded in mystery so far as
any officials in Washington know. 1t is
beginning to be generally realized that
upon the testimony of the divers almost
altogether will depend the success of the
inquiry
Meanwhile notice has been served
upon the experts, who have been heard
from in the press that it is preferred
that they shall no longer discusss TINS
matter in advance of the report of the
court of inquiry. One reason for this ac-
ton was the fact that the department
was finding itself committed inVolunta-
rily to the support of the theory that
the explosion was of internal origin,
while, as a matter of fact, both Secre-
tary Long and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt have been at great pains to
show that the department stood entirely
neutral as between the theorists and
were prepared to accept only the con
illusions of the court of inquiry as bind
ing upon it. In consequence of this de-
cision there is less disposition mani

Theory of Treachery.

New York, March IA World corre-
spondent writes from Havana: EVERY
American naval officer here thinks the
extent, direction and phenomena of the
explosion shows a torpedo or mine.
The mine theory is less tenable. AS
cabled from Key West on Saturday, the
present indications are that the re-
serve magazine and a torpedo sent
against the port side of the bottom OPP
posite the magazine did the damage.
There is not one chance in thousand
that the Maine destroyed herself. 1t
seems that her reserve magazine only
let it's tongue Of black powder add to
the awful hovoc wrought by the sub
marine torpedo or mine, probably the
former. All experts here unite in this
opinion. Many accusing pieces of iron
above the water, and every shattered
bit below, are evidences of the truth.
"Perhaps never humanity constructed
thing showed the actual effects OF ap-
piled force as does the Maine. Naval
experts unanimously declare the twisted,
battered iron, to be so mangled that
none but both interior and exterior
force applied almost simultaneously
could do the work. All theories OF IN
ternal accident drop one by one"

it was his deliberate judgment that the
question of SPANS official participation

was deserving of consideration no

what he had intended to convey was be

disaster had been eliminated. In order
to make clear his meaning. Mr.. Long die
