found he did not believe anything or any power could prevent war-no mat ter what steps Spain might take to punish the perpetrators of the deed, and no matter how much indemnity she might offer to pay the United States. Of the Republican Senators Mason of Illinois is doing the loudest talking for the papers.
 Spain is responsible for this, and in a sense our own Government is re- sponsible," said he this evening. The disaster to the Maine could not have come from the inside-naval experts agree to that. It was a blow dealt by an enemy. and Spain is responsible.
 When I say that our own Govern ment is responsible I mean this. The Maine was sent there on an alleged friendly mission. The administration lied, to use the language of diplomacy when 1t said the Maine was going to Havana on a friendly mission. That was not the object of the visit, and every precaution should have been taken. Had she gone as she ought. as an enemy in search of foe, the snip would have given different account of herself, and would not now be at the bottom of the harbor. l want to see the administration order the whole fleet to Havana, and I want to see the fleet go there on business other than that of a friendly visit If I had my way, we would send 100 900 troops to that island and drive the Spaniards off of it. There will never be any peace until Cuba Is free of those fellows"
 Republican Senators who have con- tended that the time for action had not arrived now incline to the belief that this Maine horror will in the end prove the casus belli which all have expected would in the end come, no matter how strong the efforts of the administration to prevent 1t.
 Senator Perkins of California, a mem- Der of the Naval Affairs Committee, who is usually very conservative in his expressions, states it as his positive belief that the Maine's destruction re- suited from design rather than acci- dent
 Representative DeVries said: From present information concerning the re- cent Iamentable disaster at Havana to the Maine, I am not sufficiently up on which to base a definite expression of opinion. Vague rumors are equally un- certain and unreliable upon which to offer an expression touching matter of so grave and serious importance. But certainly, in the face of disclo- sures leading to the confusion of pre- meditated destruction of our ship, traeeable to Spanish origin. nothing can further restrain American indigna- tion and action. It must strike the

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-A special to he Herald from Key West says: With f1fty-nine men of the officers and crew of the ill-fated battle-ship Maine the steamship Olivette arrived here from Havana at half-past 10 o'clock last night. The delay of two hours and a half in the steamers arrival was occa- stoned by the necessarily slow progress attending the transfer in Havana Har- Dor of the sick and wounded from the places where they had been taken af- ter being rescued from the wreck. The transfers were made in small boats and consumed the entire morning.
 As many of the men were perfectly helpless on account of their maimed condition the greatest care had to be exercised in their removal. An i'm
 mense crowd assembled on the wharf to greet the arrival of the Olivette here. The Collector of Customs had in structed his subordinates to render every assistance to the army and navy authorities and facilitate the landing of the unfortunate seamen. Nineteen men with heads, arms and hands tied up in bandages came ashore, but the most distressing sight and one which touched the hearts of every one present was at one of the after port holes, where eight unfortunates, burned, blis- tered and scalded, were lifted out
 Commander Vim, Paymaster Jewett and other naval attaches assigned to assist him. together with Captain Mer- Till. commandant of the garrison, with Lieutenant Stevens and other army officers were present to receive them. A company from the barracks, detailed to act as escort. was also on the dock. Eight blistered, wounded and half dead sailors were brought out from the hold of the steamer. placed on stretch CTS. and carefully taken to the United States Marine Hospital and turned over to the tender care of Surgeon Gutierrez Others were conveyed in cars provided by the authorities of the United States Barracks, where tents had been pro-

the explosion Captain Sigsbee was aboard the Maine, and 1t was his coolness and the exercise of superior judgment in directing the men under the trying circumstances that averted a panic and greater loss of life.
 The officers and men are also cred ited with having obeyed orders inn plicitly and displayed traits of the highest order in leaving the ship when she was sinking and no possible hope remained of saving her.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

There is a grim suspicion in the
minds of good many that the so-called
''business interests of the country
would accept peace at the price of ma
tional dishonor.-Peoria Journal.
THE local elections in Chicago,
Milwaukee and throughout the presi-
dents own state of Ohio, are ominously
democratic in their tone. In no part of
the country is there popular support
for the policy of delay.-AIbany Argus.
If President Mckinley could but
muster up the courage to cut loose from
Hanna and his Safeguarding friends
| it would perhaps be possible yet for
him to regain in some measure the con-
| fidence of the people. But with Hanna
he is like Sinbad with the old man of
the sea astride his neck.-Kansas City
| Times.
When we have done with Spain,
the question will be what to do with
Mckinley. He will drag along through
his term the most despised man ever
elected to great Office. When his term
ends he will drop into an obscurity
compared with which the present life
of Cleveland will seem distinguished,
glittering public career.-N. Y. Journal.
THE American public feels just
now a livelier interest in war than
in the war tariff, but the latter is daily
performing it's noble role of the most
scientific" ever known in fashion that
proves it to be giving US some comedy
work. We may yet escape the evils of
war, but the evils of Dingley are with
us to stay, and we must make the best
of them. The Mckinley bill was it's
distinguished sponsors footstool to
the presidency, but the Dingley bill is
not the same make of footstool.-Bing-
hamton IN. W Leader.
There is a vast deal of encourage
ment to democrats in the results of the
spring municipal elections. From all
over the country, with exceptions so
rare as to be notable, come reports of
democratic gains. In many towns of
the west which two years ago went anti
democratic when the party was divided
the democrats regained control with in
creased majorities. And now for the
congressional elections. The democ"
racy has shown that it is ready for this
contest, while republicanism will enter
it with uneasy spirit and divided ranks.
st. Louis Republic.
Whether we have war or peace
with Spain we shall have to pay the cost
of getting ready for war, and sugges-
tions for internal taxes are heard here
and there. But it is misleading, in the
present condition of the national in
come, to call these proposed taxes war
taxes. Why should not the ruling po-
litical party in congress face the fact
that its revenue laws do not bring in
enough income to meet the expenses of
the government on peace footing?
There should be no humbug about in
creasing taxation because of making
ready for war. What the treasury de-
mands is more revenue than Dingiey-
ism produces whether for war or for
peace.-Boston Post
