TYPICAL WESTERN PROGRESS.


Commemorative of the Trans Mis-
sisslppi exposition the treasury de-
partment has authorized the issuance
of a series of postage stamps of the
smaller denominations. The new
issue differs in size and color from
the ordinary stamps of the same de-
nominations, the engraved space be-
ing about eighths of an inch
wide by one and one-third inches
long. A different design marks each
denomination, but each in some way
is indicative of the region west of the
Mississippi. Both the scenes repre-
sented and the borders of the stamps
are printed from lined engravings
furnished by the bureau of engrav
ing and printing of the treasury de-
partment.
The one cent stamp represents
Father Marquette in canoe on the
upper Mississippi preaching to poor
Lo. The color is dark green. The
two-cent stamp is copper red and in
design represents a western rancho
whose sod is being tickled by long
procession of gang plows.
Orange is the color of the four cent
plaster, the color resembling typic-
al Cheyenne sunset. The scene is
that of imaginary noble redman of
the forest hunting mythical buffaloes.
BY most ingenious accompanying
device, the occasional whoop of the
Indian is family audible. On the
five cent sticker the design shows mp
the bold pathfinder planting the flag
on peak of the Rockies. AS there
was nothing else growing on the
peak at that time, the flag which he
planted grew to immense size, until
it seeded the ridges for miles around
and today the old mountain, which
Fremont bravely erected, produces
more and better flags than any other
equal area of America. The color
is dark blue, significant of the look
the Mexicans wore while this sketch
of history was in course of manufac-
ture.
The eight cent poster is dark H.
lac reproduction of Remington's
"Troops guarding a train" Both
troops and train are plainly visible.
Its companion picture is where the
troops have looted the train; the col
or is muckle dun and only the train
is visible.
The ten cent series is slate color,
showing an emigrant and family in
prairie schooner with three or four
magnificent coon dogs riding on the
boot. Determination is written in
his grim countenance and "Blackfoot
or bust" on the vessels port side. 1t
is Il striking scene, where the driver
is striking the horses at every jump.
No Trans Mississippi postal cards
will be issued.
The glue used in the manufacture
Of these stamps has been sweetened
and favored so as to be found quite
palatable. And the increased size
renders it possible to get breakfast
off fewer number of stamps than
formerly. But in order to facilitate
the process of stamping letters it
will be found necessary to hire only
clerks whose tongues are extra long
and wide. All clerks who have pre-
viously had their tongues split in
order to be able to lick two stamps
at once are by the new issue thrown
out of job.

Speculation In Havana as to the Probable
Finding of Court OF Inquiry.


Finding of Court of Inquiry.
3 HAVANA March 1.-THE Fern Is
expected TO arrive here today to replace
the Montgomery as the headquarters
Of Captain Sigsbee and others who are
supervising the wrecking work on the
Maine. The Montgomery Will go to
Key West shortly after the arrival of
the Fern.
There Is no reason TO change the be-
lief that the court of inquiry viii find
that the disaster was caused by an ex-
ploslon outside the Maine. but its mem
bers have been as secret as the grave
The chief officers have been absolutely
discreet, while the talk of the divers
has been contradictory From scores of
bits OF evidence that have come out
during the three weeks examination It
seems as sure as anything in this lati-
tude can be that the plans before the
court show that the ship was broken in
two and the forward part rent asunder
by an explosion from the outside.
Captain Sampson intimated to your
correspondent that the testimony was
''gratifyingly complete" This might
mean that an accidental cause had been
discovered, but the indications are all
the other way. No one believes that
any Spanish officials or officers OF rank
viii bo implicated, whatever may be the
findings OF the court.
Captain Sampson, before leaving. said
the courts departure was not due to
orders received, but was decided upon
solely by the members themselves. The
| wrecking work has been very slow. but
| II is hoped that now. with the added
facilities and the others that are to
/ trfn ha n
! greater rapidity.
La Lucha. in its leading editorial.
says II Is unable to explain the belli-
cose attitude of the United States and
inclines TO the belief that this is the
| fault of business syndicates. like the
| Sugar trust, or due TO some new de-
| aire 20 annex Cuba, which has changed
| the physiognomy of the American peo-
ulc." IL claims that Spain has done
| nothing TO hurt the pride of the United
states and refers TO the friendliness OF
spain for the American colonies when
they were fighting England and also to
the strict neutrality maintained dur
ing the civil war"
la Lucha says IL can only explain
The help given the insurgents from
American sources during the present
insurrcction in Cuba by defective law
varying in the different states of the
American Union" The editorial say

ent: "Those Of us who are to be left
behind are probably wanted to testify
as TO the minute condition of various
parts Of the Maine previous 10 the ex-
plosions For Instance sworn evidence I
as TO the exact location of some partic-
ular angle iron might be required to
make the findings technically correct.
Personally i am fully convinced that
the court OF inquiry has come to a def
mite conclusion regarding the explo-
aion."
Unless the unexpected happens, It is
safe to say that the court win recon-
vene and hear testimony. But all the
Maine officers expect to get away by
Saturday. The general impression is
that the evidence thus far received was
carefully gone over yesterday and the
points requiring additional testimony
were marked out. Captain Sampson
and Judge Advocate Mark had long
consultations with Admiral Sicard,
after which the officers from whom fur
ther testimony was deemed unneces-
sary were given their leave orders.
Captain Sampson and Judge Advo-
cato Mark lunched together on the
Iowa, which lies six miles off. They
did not return to land. No session OF
the court was, held ashore, but II is un-
derstood that consultation took place
between the officers of the court and
that Rear Admiral Sicard's wishes we're
communicated to those who had not
talked with the fleet commander per-
sonally
Among naval officers and others it is
generally believed that the court Of In
Quiry has come TO the definite conclu-
sion that the explosion was external
and that the court Is now only busted
over minor technical details. The opin-
ion is. however, only an opinion, for
with the exception Of the members OF
the court, Rear Admiral Sicard and
Commander West. no one here has any
real cue to the final decision. one Of
the officers of the Maine said TO your
correspondent:
Il believe the Maine was blown up
from the outside: but, Judging from the
questions asked by members Of the
court when previously here. / am ut
terly unable to ascertain whether they
have oven countenanced such solu-
ton OF the disaster. have talked with

ions on the character OF the questions
