- Of the 25O sailors and marines who
lost their lives in the Maine explosion,
the bodies of all but about 80 had been
recovered up to last Monday. The work OF
taking these bodies out of the wreck was
still in progress. Many of the bodies
that have been recovered, of course, were
horribly mutilated by the explosion and
had also been partially eaten by fishes.
Reports from Havana say that for sever
al days past the presence of number of
buzzards in the vicinity of the wreck
has been repulsive sight.

The resolutions of the Lake City peo.
pie with regard to the murder of the Ne
gro postmaster look we'll enough on pa
per; but they do not go far enough. The
good people of Lake City should resolve
that they would spare no effort to detect
and bring the last one of the murderers
to Justice, and then they should 60 tc
work and do what they promise. To say
"'tis a pity" and so on, is too easy h
amount to much, and murderers are moi
likely to be seriously affected by mere ex'
pressions of opinion.

Senator Redfield Proctor, secretary OF
war in President Harrison's cabinet, is in
Havana. He gives out that his business
is of purely a personal nature; but the
fact that he is confidential friend OF
President Mckinley, lends color to the
belief that his visit has official signifi-
canoe. Many think that he was sent by
Mckinley just as Cleveland sent Blount
to Hawaii, to thoroughly investigate GER
tain phases of the situation.

Up to the time THE ENQUIRER went
to press, there were practically nc
new developments in the Cuban situa'
ton that have not been indicated by
facts already published.
The court of inquiry went from
Havana to Key West, few days
ago, to examine a number of the
wounded sailors and was 10 have gone
back to Hayana yesterday to get such
further information as might have been
developed by the divers.
All outside information points tc
the fact that the explosion which de-
stroyed the Maine came from the ex'

quiry has given no intimation of any
thing it may have learned, and may
not make a report for some weeks yet

- Even among those who look upon
war between the United States and Spain
as a practical certainty, opinion varies
greatly as to when hostilities will proba-
bly, be commenced. Spaniards are quoted
as saying that they do not look for an ac-
tual outbreak before the last Of March,
and several American officers have sug-
gested that the crisis is at least two weeks
or more off. But, Of course, under any
circumstances, the matter is one of great
uncertainty, and hostilities are as apt to
be commenced this week as not at all.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-03-02

investigation is over and before the
result is made public, we will be per-
fectly safe. Should Spain then declare
war upon that ground, she will be
forced to take the initiative against us
without legal justification and that
will make all the difference in the
world. When the struggle comes,
even with our small navy, it will be
like a Titan striking a cripple. The
matter of supreme Importance is to
have the fight begin without fault
upon our part"

MRS. HOWARD GOLD.

The same had been true only few
weeks before that at dinner and Christ.
mas celebration which Mr. Gould gave at
the Holland House, where Miss Clemmons
lived. The dinner was really given in her
honor. Mr. Gould's devotion to the fair
actress had at that time been long contin-
ued, and he made no attempt to conceal it.
Even when he was taken to task by his
oldest brother George, he resented the in
reference and made it very plain that he
would not brook any criticism of his ac-
tons. Howard Gould believed that George
was largely responsible for the insertion OF
the clause in their fathers will that made
it so expensive for HIN to choose his own
bride.

TIE SURRENDER Of CUBA.
The Spaniards Are Unwillingto
Give Up Authority By
December 1St.
SITUATION VERY SERIOUS
Claim the Right to Determine What
Is Movable Property and to Send
1t Back to Spain.

If the Spanish Persist in Their Refusal n
in the Case of Porto Rico Claim That the
Evacuation Committee Has Nothing to DO
with the Matter.
Washington, Oct. II. Although Secre-
tary Alger and the War Department Off
Gals express confidence that the Spanialds
will ultimately consent to the proposition
OF the American Commissioners at Havana
that Cuba shall be surrendered to the Gov
ernmentb by Dec. l, there is no doubt that
the situation at Havana is very serious.
The Spanish Commissioners are vigorously
opposing the efforts of the American repre-
sentatives to secure possession of the island
and, in fact, it is understood that they have
positively declined to accept the American
proposition.
The American Commissioners did not
make an express demand for the surrender
of the island by Dec. /, but submitted a
statement to the Spanish Commissioners,
expressing the desire of the United States
Government that the control of custom
houses and public buildings in Cuba should
be turned over to the United States forces
by the date named. This statement wa,
made under orders from tine War Depart
ment The instructions to the Porto Rice
Evacuation Commissioners, the War De
parment directed them to demand the
evacuation Of the island and surrender oil
authority by Oct. Is. The Cuban Com
missoners have not become so positive yet

HOWARD GOULD.

The ceremony, which was performed in
he early evening, was very private. 1t
vas SAID that the only relative of the CON
tracing parties that was present was the
mother of the bride None of Mr.. Gould's
brothers or sisters were there to grace the
scene.
1t has long been known that the Goulds
opposed the attention which Howard Gould
has paid the actress, and that they refused
the family consent to the marriage. In
this connection it is interesting to remem-
Der the conditions of the will of the late
Jay Gould as far as they affect the fortune
of a member of the family who marres
without the express consent of the other
heirs.
The marriage without the consent of the
others has cost him exactly $1,000, 600.
which will now be divided among the other
heirs.
George and Edwin Gould, their wives
and Helen Gould were infiexibly opposed
to Miss Clemmons 1t is noteworthy that
the women were far more obdurate in the
matter than the men of the family. The
two brothers and Helen made ma iority of
the heirs and it was their vote that cost
Howard the five millions.
In all his recent public appearances How
ard Gould has defied the wishes of his fam.
ly by invariably having Miss Clemmons
with him. Last February when his new
yacht, the Niagara, was launched at viii
mington, Del, she accompanied him there.
They travelled on a special train, and Miss
Clemmons was the most conspicuous figure
at the launching.
