repealed by Spain, attracted much IN
terest in official circles

terest in official circles.
There has been little doubt for some
time that Spain was preparing for the
contingency of an adverse report by the
American court Of inquiry, and to that
end was preparing to anticipate and OH
set it by making clear the government S
policy of standing by the report of the
Spanish commission. The report of the
latter body was due in Madrid yester-
day, and while its conclusions are not vet
officially known, it is a foregone conclus-
ion that it will find that the Maine dis
aster was due to accident resulting
FROM INTERNAL EXPLOSION.
This was foreshadowed in the advance ut
terance of Captain Peral, head of the
Spanish commission. who stated publicly
several days ago that the theory of eX-
ternal explosion was untenable.
Along with this semi-official statement
will be indignantly repealed, is the further
statement from reliable sources that
Spain has made it clear to the authorities
here that intervention may lead to war.
The prospects of such intervention APP
pear to be seriously entertained by Spain.
and strong efforts have been made to
avert it by showing that the condition OF
the reconcentrados did not warrant the
step, and also that it would threaten to
end all prospects of the pacific negotia-
lions.
Both governments have been sounding
each other on the activity of the other in
searching for ships. but there has been
little ground for objection on either side
as both have been in the same market.
The administration explains it's buying
ships on the ground that SPANS attti-
tude has been SO menacing as naturally
to call for an augmented navy, while
Spain takes the same view that the activ-
ity in the United States requires suitable
preparations by the Spanish navy.
The report that Spain has protested
against a filibustering expedition to Puer-
to Pico cannot be verified as the officials
here say this expedition has not yet got
away.

High Compliment to American Patriot

Lord Charles Beresford, in an inter

A STRUGGLE EXPECTED
Between the United Mine Wor kers and the
Irwin Basin Coal Company.

Irwin Basin Coal Company.
Pittsburg, Pa, March IA strug-
gle between the United Mine Workers
Association and the Irwin Basin Coal
Company seems inevitable. The com
pany, whose mines are at Gallatin, near
Monongahela, have, it is said, present
ed an ironclad agreement to their men,
contrary to the interstate agreement
reached at Chicago, and refuse to pay
the scale rate. The company's miners
are now on strike and Patrick Dolan,
district president, said to-day that if
matters are not satisfactorily settled
within a very short time, he will es-
tablish a camp near the works and
conduct campaign similar to that car
ried on against the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Company last sum-
mer. Dolan claims that the company
is establishing company stores, and
will only pay 81 % per 100 bushels,
whereas the agreement calls for 81 AZ.

Saturday evening, Janaury goth, a

around the Island on bicycles. The
list was made up of some Of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them '97 Overland Special which is
handled by the HONOLULU BICYCLE
co The Overland was the only wheel
in the lot which made the trip without
trouble of any kind. OVERLANDS
are the kind of wheels that take you
away from home, and bring you back
again.
By the last Australia, we received a
few samples of the '9S OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without any excep-
tons, the most beautiful models, and
the highest grade wheels ever shown
here for anything near the price which
we shall sell them-$65 We defy all
competition, even at a much higher
figure.
