Wrecked by Submarine Mine.

VIII Seize Cuba by Force of Arms.

Chicago, Feb. 2i.-The Tribune this
morning prints the following special
from Washington. ID. c.:
Il DO not propose to do anything at
all to accelerate war with Spain. Up to
the present l do not think war is either
necessary or inevitable. / would be
lax in my duty. however. II 1 did not
prepare for the future. The situation
Is grave, and the policy Of the adj
ministration will be determined almost
entirely by the course OF events from
time TO time. There is no necessity of
alarming the people,bu Congress must
be ready to assist the administration
without making too many inquiries as
to the course OF current events"
To senator who called upon him
yesterday in order to ask some serious
questions as to the policy of the ad-
minlstration, President Mckinley,
with the utmost frankness, uttered the
above words There is no doubt of the
fact that the government of the United
States is actually preparing for war
with Spain. 1t is not certain that war
Will follow, but the activity is too I'M
mistakable to he concealed.
The President and his cabinet unite
in the belief still. in spite of all evil
dence to the contrary, that the explo-
sion of the Maine was the result of an
unfortunate accident. but they recog-
nize the fact that the contrary may
prove true at almost any hour, and
that, If 1t is shown even inferentially
that Spain had a hand in the catas-
trophe, there will be but one thing to
do. and that is to seize the island of
Cuba by force OF arms. At no time since
the war of the Rebellion has the mill
tary branch OF the government been
so active as 1t is today.
A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.
1t is significant fact that within
the last two days there has been u
remarkable change OF opinion in the
navy department in regard to the ex-
plosion of the Maine.
When the first news arrived here last
week, experts at the department were
very nearly divided as between an acci-
dent and design. But today after study
ing the later reports and especially
photographs sent from Havana, nine
out of ten of the officers of the depart
ment express the belief that the Maine
was anchored over a submarine mine.
The only difference of opinion seems
to be as to whether that mine was ex-
ploded by Spanish officers acting under
orders or by some enthusiast.
The latter opinion is generally held.
but 1t is said that this does not lessen
In any great degree the responsibility
of Spain for the horrible catastrophe.
II the Spanish officers allowed the
warshp to be moored to buoy which
was attached to a submarine mine,
they thereby became responsible for
the result, whether the mine was ex-
ploded by official orders or not. The
placing of the Maine in an exposed
place In the harbor, II 1t was done at
ALL was done by Spanish officers, and
If the mine was exploded by anybody at
ALL they We're directly responsible and
will be so held by President McKinley's
administration.

COMMUNAL BUTTERFLIES
Select Species Artihcially Propa-
gated at Washington.
Government breeding Them for the
Purpose of Producing q New Kind
Of silk-An Interesting
Experiment.

Some very remarkable bugs are be
ing hatched and reared just at present
by the experts of the government bu-
reau of entomology at Washington.
Most people would suppose that there
were enough insects in existence with
out resorting to artificial propagation;
but the fact is that this kind of scientific
work has very useful purpose in view.
This, too, Notwithstanding the fact that
the species selected for breeding are
the most pestiferous that can be found.
The bug hatchery, or "insectary," as
it is called, is brick building close by
the department of agriculture. In con-
struction it resembles greenhouse, the
upper part being of glass, so as to admit
plenty of light for the insects. 1t is
divided into two compartments, one OF
which is artifcially heated for the ben
eft of tropical and other species that
require warmth, while the other is cold.
On shelves all around the interior, and
on the floor as well, are glass jars and
queer glass-sided boxes containing a
great variety of odd-looking objects.
The objects in the glass jars are parts
of plants, fruits, dried-up vegetables,
pieces of branches or roots, etc. One
does not see any bugs at all, and the
reason why is simply that the veg
etables, fruits and so forth are the
natural food of the insects, and the lat
ter are either inside of them or else
are ssdone up' in cocoons for the win
ter.
For example, there is huge cocoon
nine inches long hanging from twig
in jar of exceptional size. This is the
temporary communal dwelling built by
the so-called "gregarious butterfly" in
Mexico. More correctly speaking, it is
the caterpillars-transfo later into
butterhies-that construct the cocoon
for residence while they are under
going their metamorphosis. The CO.
coon looks and feels as if made of thick
parchment, and at the lower end of it
is small hole that serves for door.
The labor employed in building it must
be enormous. Under powerful mag
nifying glass, it is seen to be composed
Of an infinite number of shining and
very slender silken threads, crossing
each other in every direction. When
cut into, the nest is found to contain
100 or more chrysalids, attached to the
walls on the inside-each one repre-
senting future butterfly.
The habit of combining together to
build a house seems to be peculiar to
this species among butterflies. The silk
composing the nest Is exquisite, and
from 20 to 25 sheets of it can be stripped
off from the great cocoon as if woven
in a loom. If the silk could only be
spun, the "gregarious butterfly" would
soon displace the silkworm, and the
silks and satins of commerce would be
of butterfly manufacture. Unfor-
tunately, the difficulty remains un-
solved, though many attempts in this
direction have been made. Could SCI
luton of the problem be found, silk
would become at once enormously less
costly, inasmuch as the cocoons of this
kind of butterfly are to be gathered in
immense numbers as wild crop in the
forests of Mexico.-Boston Transcript.

A THRIFTY INDIAN GIRL.
She Secured an Education and Saved
Enough to Furnish . Home.

She Secured an Educatfon and Saved
Enough to Furnish = Home.
In 1892 the "Seger" school was built
in Oklahoma territory, among colony
of Oheyennes and Arapahoes, consid-
cred among the widest, most backward
and nonprogressive of all the Indians.
Fortunately the superintendent of the
new school, Mr.. John Homer Seger, had
already gained their confidence in an
other capacity, so that when they were
asked to put their children in school
they said that they would as soon as
they were weaned. And they carried
this out literally.
Many incidents are told illustrating
the splendid work which has already
been accomplished directly and indi-
rectly by the school, for often the infiu-
ence in the community is equal to the
actual amount Of education within the
school walls.
One of the girl pupils who entered the
school when it opened has had quite
remarkable record. Having no previous
education and leaving her really savage
home for the first time, she has demon
strated what education is doing and
will do for the red man. There is sys-
tenn iii nearly all the government In
dian schools by which those pupils
who are both Industrious and frugal
may earn money in the sewing-room, or
on the farm or in some one of the
schools other industrial departments,
OF course, this must be outside of their
regular work. This young girl, after
taking a regular course as scholar,
was Judged capable of filling salaried
position. In the course of a short time
she filled not one, but several, and
worked in the sewing-room besides. Out
of her savings she bought wagon, har-
ness, team, organ, bedroom set and
sewing machine, all in view of her pros
pective marriage to young Indian to
whom she was engaged, and when they
were married she took enough savings
with her to build neat home! All
this was accomplished in three years
time.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
