Here They Come! All Hands Prepare for Actis


cial circles in Madrid and Havana is
the proposition to relieve the distressed
Cubans.
New York, March ga dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The abstract of the Maine court of
inquiry has been read with keen inter
est by naval experts, but they refrain
from expressing an official opinion
when they have not seen the full text
and the evidence of the complete eX-
OneratiOn of the officials in charge OF
the ship cOnvinces them that internal
accident was excluded from the case,
but they are surprised that the evil
dence of the divers concerning the con-
dition of the wreck was not more def
mite.
The opinion of the court that the de-
StructiOn of the ship was by explosion
of mine on the port side which set off
two magazines by detOnatiOn, is ac-
cepted on account of the high character
of Captain Sampson and his colleague
as experts on explosives. Naval eX-
perts have wished to believe that the
explosion was due to internal and mys
teriOus causes and frankly say so.
They do not consider the Vienna the
Ory published here today as credible.
This attributes the explosion to a drift
mine which had been forgotten, going
off accidentally under the bow from the
spontaneous chemical charge. They
consider it more natural to suppose that
any mine which was af1Oat was con-
trOlled by an electric wire from the
shore. English naval experts discuss
all these questions with caution and re-
serve, although they are intensely in
terested in them.
The publication of this report had lit
tie effect, strangely enough upon the
general markets or upon the American
list. The market was buoyant today
as though peace We're assured The
general purpOrt of the findings of the
board had been well understood in ad-
vance.
Several leaders conspicuous for fair
ness and cOrdiality toward America ap-
Times.
The general feeling may be summed
up in the lacOnic response of a member
of parliament, when he was asked how
English sympathy would stand in case
of war between Spain and the United
States: with America, every man jack

The Morning Post thinks the signs
make for peace and takes it for granted
that there will be no armistice until

Sir Charles Dixie Doesn't See How
War Can Be Avoided.

New York, March ga special to the
World from London says:
4 can't see how war between the
United States and Spain can be avoid
ed, - said Sir Charles Dixie to the World
correspondent last night. 1T is impOs-
sible to express an opinion on such
meagre details of the findings of the
Maine court of inquiry as have been
published here, but affairs have come
to such a pass with Spain that she may
welcome war as the best means of get
ting rid of Cuba. It has become such a
milestone around her neck that she
must free herself from it some way, and
to the proud Spaniard, war would be
the least disa greeable way.
Il don'think mediation by any Euro
pean power is likely"

ALBERT SHEPHERD.

The silver republicans of Silver Bow
county held an adjourned session Of
their convention yesterday and resolved
to do the prodigal return act. They
declared that they had eaten husks
enough and that their hunger for nome
cooking and a chunk of the fatted calf
was o~verpowering them. Therefore they
further resolved 10 go home and ask
the present branch of the republican
party to taxi them in under the pro-
tecting gold wing and feed them. They
hungered so. and they were alone in the
world like homeless orphans, and they
were afraid.

the Mckinley republicans, IL was said,
the silver republican convention prac-
tically dissolved their party organiza-
ton yesterday and made almost humil-

DEWEY NEARLY MISSED 1T.
Against His Wishes That He Was
sent to the Far East.

Against His Wishes That He Was
sent to the Far East.
From the New York Sun.
washington, May 9.-Had Admiral
Dewey's wishes oeen consulted by the
navy department he would not have been
the commander of the squadron that COM
mitted such terrific destruction in Manila
bay. 1t was one of the chances of war
that sent him to far Eeastern waters. Ad-
miral Dewey preferred another assign
ment. He did not care TO go to the ASH
atic station and neither did half dozen
young officers to whom he offered the
details of flag secretary and flag lieuten-
ant. They all thought that If we had
war with Spain the European squadron
and that on the home station would figure
more conspicuously. None believed that the
United States would extend its operations
to the Philippines. At the time Admiral
Dewey was ordered to Asiastic waters the
chances of trouble with Spain were APP
parently remote although the situation
was still threatening. When, therefore.
Commander f. V. McNair was detached
from his command early in January and
ordered home, IL was necessary to have a
flag officer to relieve him at once, and the
detail was between Commodore Howell
and Admiral Chen Commodore) Dewey.
Beth wanted the comand of the European
station. where Admiral Seifridge was due
to be detached early in February. Dewey
was especially anxious for the command,
but Howell succeeded in securing the bill
let, and the orders to both officers were
made out in December.
Commodore Dewey left the United States
at once and he raised his flag on the
Olympia on Jan. 3 last. Commodore How
ell raised his flag on the San Francisco
on Feb following. Commodore Dewey
had more trouble In finding a staff willing
to accompany him TO the station than falls
to the lot of flag officers-not that officers
were not willing TO serve with the commo-
dore, but they saw greater prospects of
naval glory on the home station. There
are two officers now on duty with the navy
department to whom appointments on the
stan were offered by the commodore ana
declined. These men are now without sea
duty of any kind and would be willing
10 be sent to sea on a tug boat. They
are both regretting the chance they threw
aside OF being present in a big naval fight.
and neither may see a single shot fired
during the present war.
Capt Lamberton who was sent out to
command the Boston and who failed 20
get his ship before the fight, was another
officer unwilling to join the fleet. He sail
ei after the Maine was blown up, and
saw then that the chance of trouble with
Spain was promising. He wanted to re-
main on the home station, but there was
no command vacant for him, and he took
the Boston.
Three months ago at least a dozen Off
GERS on the squadron appealed to Their
friends here TO try and get them home.
so that they could be on hand when war
was declared. Every one Of them now

Their bodies were found on the second
floor in the rear OF the building and were
so charred that it was impossible to
recognize them, but, as all the employees
with the exception of those named have
been accounted for, there can be no doubt
as to their Identity
The fire originated In the basement OF
the building and was caused by the ex-
plosion OF fireworks.
The building occupied by AIeCadden
Brothers was completely quilted, but the
adjoining property was saved by the good
work of the fremen, although the stocks
were considerably damaged. The loss is
covered by insurance.
