the following account of it: The ex-
animation lasted for two days. All
the evidence went to show that the
defendant had been notified that he
vas to have been tarred aud feathered

The Spain question still remains
open. 1t is now expected that the
board Of naval inquiry will make a re-
port the latter part of this week, aud
doubtless it will report that the Maine
was blown up by an explosive on the
outside. The Globe Democrat had a
cartoon which seemed to cover the
matter thoroughly. Uncle Sam was
busy at work, fixing up his ships and
guns, in the distance the naval board
in the shape of a diver was coming to
make the report. Uncle Sam waved
him away aud told him to keep on in
vestigating until he got these things
fixed so they would work. OF a verify
Uncle Sam is hard at work getting
affairs into shape, so that when the re-
port does come he will be ready for a
scrap. Some Of the wise ones think
that when the lrst gun is fired in a
war between Spain and the Omitted
States lighting will commence all over
the world. England and France are
at outs over difficulties in Africa.
England, Russia, japan and China are
ali ready to fight over affairs in the far
East, aud tde smell Of burning powder
would set them to work. The Elm.
peror Of Germany could not stand all
this lighting without taking a hand
somewhere, aud he would kick up a
row with some country in a couple OF
days. The LIBERAL congratu.atcs
the majority of It's readers on the fact
that they are so far from the seaboard
that no matter what happens il would
all be over before they could be caught
and set to fighting.
