At TonightS Special Meeting
of the Council.

Mayor Ross returned from the east yes
terday morning to find one side of the
city government knocked clear out and
demanding immediate repair. He said,
however, that he had been advised a num-
Der Of times by letter and by wire that the
metropolitan police commission has been
laid away and that certain things ought
TO be done in a certain way at a very GER
tain time, or certain other things would
transpire or fail to transpire as the case

Mayor Ross was probably down town
yesterday, but he didn't scatter around
much as the public could see. A repre-
sentative of the Eagle asked him for an
interview.
There are a hundred Others" he said,
but go on with your questions and I'll
see II can answer them"
DO You know whom you will recon-
mend for city marshal or chief Of poIice?'
mo, sir; do not, yet. The crops where
I have been visiting in Ohio are in good
condition and everything shows a good
deal of hustle and prosperity"
'Will you make all your appointments

morrow

the whole matter up tomorrow night If

VIII you retain any of the present pa
trolmen on the force"
Il am inclined to think so, but cannot
state just now. The only place 1 noticed
poor crops on my way from the east was
near st. Louis. Crops there are in bad
shape, evidently drowned out"
"Will politics affect the list of patrolmen
you may select for rec0mmendations?''
No, not particularly. There are some
good men on the force now and it would
be political tommyrot to clean the street
force entirely for nothing but political
reasons. I'll have to look into the mat
ter little more yet. do not propose to
make a partisan machine out of the police
government Of the city. 1 shall aim to
appoint competent men, that's all"
What about the street railway?''
Il don't know. I see that the council
has annulled the franchise Of the present
company. I do not know any thing about
the situation yet"
Crops? Oh, yes. Everything in the
east is in good shape where 1 visited,

NEW REVENUE LAW
Goes Into Effect Today at Six
O'clock.

Today the new revenue law goes into
effect.
Everybody who sends a telegram must
put on the adhesive stamp before the
message will be sent. Every check that
is cashed must have a stamp attached.
Every draft issued and every bill Of lad
ing must be stamped. Every life insur-
ance policy or other insurance policy be-
comes subject to a tax and every chattel
mortgage agent must pay a license.
Stamps can be had at various places over
the city. The provisions Of the measure
are so various as will be useless to at
tempt to name them here but the Eagle
has previously published in two separate
articles the requirements of the law.

cial to the Times Union and Citizen from
Key West, Fla, says: The steamship Oil

number of the wounded and many other
survivors of the Maine disaster The off,
GERS were, aS a rule, reticent, and followed
in line with their chief, Sigsbee, in saying
that the cause of the explosion could only
be ascertained by the divers, but many of
the sailors were outspoken in their dec
laration of belief that the explosion was
deep-laid plot of the Spaniards. They
are greatly ipcensed against the Havana
people, who have shown them small cour-
tesy, and who looked upon their presence as
a national affront and who have published
anonymous circulars captioned Down with
Americans" They believe that the author
of such expressed and cowardly hatred
would not stop at an act of such terrible VEN

senior Dupuy De LONE Says His People
Hnxe Reen MisunderstOOd.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1G.-'"The Spanish min
lister and the Spanish people have been
greatly misunderstood III this country" said
Senior Dupuy De LONE, the former Spanish
minister this morning. They all desire
peace. They all want peace with America
and Americans, not only from motives of
policy but because they love America. ]
am forced to say now by this terrible af-
fair what / should have been precluded
from saying before. There is no country in
the world that 1 love as / do America. /
love the country and the people. 1t is with
the keenest regret that / take my leave
as the result of this unfortunate letter in
edent. Nearly all prominent Spaniards and
men Of influence in my country share my
views in regard to America.
Spain cannot afford to have war with the
United States. If only from motives of
policy, they are determined not to have any
war. There can be no war between this
country and Spain. Such a thing is out of
the question.
IF the Maine has blown up in Havana
harbor it is the result of an accident. That
is absolutely certain. There will be no
war"
Senior De Lone sailed on the steamship
Britannia for Liverpool to-day Compli-
mentary resolutions were presented to him
on board by a delegation of Spaniards.
There was no hostile demonstration of any
kind. Senior De LONE was accompanied by
his wife and two boys. The party was es-
corted by detectives from the hotel to the
dock. Four staterooms were i'm readiness
for the ex-minister. A cabin set apart for
a reception room was filled with floral en-
blerns. Among the many friends who were
present to bid the De Lomes farewell was

British ambassador She presented to
Sonora De LONE a magnificent bouquet
An album containing resolutions of sympa-
thy signed by Spanards i'm this city, was

speech, returned thanks, and said he hoped

only three boats were left of the number
we carried. These. the gig, barge and sec

as we could get them into the water. There
was big hole knocked in the side of the
barge, and it is wonder that it did not
sink with the few who had climbed into it.
What did you think caused the explo-
sion?'' 1 asked Captain Sigsbee.
You will have to excuse me from answer
ing that he replied. "In such cases it is
best not to think; it is best to know. That
requires investigation and time"
Might not a small torpedo, these reason
ers argue, have struck the side of the Maine
and, exploding, set off one Of the magazines,
some of which are located forward? Still
