view of the alarm you have felt con-

it is, perhaps. unnecessary to suggest
that the widely known colonel be sent
TO the scene of hostilities TO tear out
the Giverting dam and insert one of

this has already been attended to.

A correspondent writes from Park
City inquiring for the cause of the
Spanish American war There were
several causes, the most immediate of
which was the destruction of the Maine.
For several years the leaders of both
great political parties in the United
States had been contemplating inter-
vention on behalf of the Cubans, but
it is doubtful if the government would
have gone beyond the point of threat
ening to do something if it hadn't been
for the Maine explosion.

QUAY CASE WITH THE JURY.
Few Believe Verdict of Guilty Will
lie Rendered.

PHILADELPHIA. April 2O.--The case
Of ex-United States Senator Quay was
placed in the hands OF the jury promptly
at o'clock this afternoon, and no YER
diet being reached by 10 o'clock at night
the jury was locked up until morning.
There was no intmation other than
mere rumor as to the attitude Of the jury.
The generally expressed opinion Of those
who have followed the trial since its be-
ginning on Monday of last week IS that
the verdict will be an acquttal. Many,
however. look for disagreement. There
are but few who express the belief that a
verdict Of guilty will be given.
DEFENCE TAKES no TESTIMONY.
To-days proceedings were confined en-
tirely to argument and speeches by coun-
sell the defence deciding to present no
testimony
Mr.. Watson began the day by request
ing that the case be withdrawn from the
jury. and a verdict of not guilty render
ed. He contended that the Common
wealth had utterly failed to make out
case against Mr.. Quay. Judge Biddle.
however determined that the issues were
those for a jury TO decide. and ruled that
the case be gone through with in the
usual way. Mr.. Shields here announced
the defence's intention TO take no testi-
mony, and under the rules of the court
he thus obtained the privilege of making
but one. the last. speech TO the jury.
