ship.

HAVANA. Jan. At looks as if the
question, Who blew up the Maine? S
about to be answered.
Zarsrias Bresmes. a Spanish judge
now fugitive from Havana, Is
accused by a Cuban newspaper
of having been active in the plot for
the destruction of the battleship. A
good deal of excitement has been caus-
ed by the charge, which is made in Ell
Reconcentrads, the organ OF ''Cuba
Libre."
The paper says that when the Maine
came into Havana harbor, Bresmes
openly declared that such an act of
audacity could not pass without strin-
gent punishment.
Captain Sigsbee, who is here with
the battleship Texas, said when told
of the charges: 81 hope to see those
punished who sent my good ship and
my beloved men to the bottom of Ha-
vsna harbor."
Bresmes is said to be in hiding in
Spain.

To the New York Legislature
Shows His Vigorous
Style.
CONDITION OF LABOR
And the National Guard Are
the Subjects Of Some
Important Sug-
gestions.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 4.-Governor
Roosevelt's first message to the state
legislature was placed before that body
today. The vigorous style OF the gov
ernor is apparent oil through the mes
sage. His reference to the war, and
his recommendations regarding canals,
labor, and the national guard, are OF
general interest.
Roosevelt opened with congratula-
tions to the nation and state on the
brilliant triumph of the war. The
country was one when the war broke
out, said he, and blue and gray, men OF
means and laboring men, stood shoul-
der to shoulder in the fighting and
shared the same ultimete triumph.
ssThe tropic islands we have takep,"
the governor said, "must neither be
allowed to lapse into anarchy nor to
return under the sway of tyranny.
The message contains several i'm
portant suggestions for bettering
labor conditions. In order that the
desire of the people expressed in
wholesome organization shall be made
effective, the governor recommends
that the enforcement of the entire
body of legislation relating to labor be
placed under the board of factory
inspectors.
In speaking of the national guard
the governor said it was mistake to
order out the guard for long campaign
service, as many Of the men lost their
jobs in consequence and their families
were deprived of support.

sickness aboard The only death re-
ported is that of Edward Kissick, COM

broken and Read sustained fracture of
the skull. Both men are doing well.
The Senator was caught in the tail
of the typhoon encountered by the

tossed lively for several hours, but suf-
fered no severe damage. So serious did
the situation seem to the officers of the
steamer at one time that all the passen-
gers were ordered below and the matches
were battened down.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 24.-The Fifty
first Iowa volunteers marched to camp
at the Preside yesterday. The trans
port docked at a, m. The wharf was
crowded with the relatives and friends.
There was profusion of flowers and
each soldier had a posy in the muzzle of
his Krag- -Jorgensen.
The parade moved shortly after 10.
General Shafter sent battalion of the
Third United States artillery as an es-
cort. A part of this battalion dis
mounted had the right of the line.
Then followed Governor Shaw and Ad-
jutant General Byers, mounted, and

The interest, however, was centered
in the brave fellows just III from the

went to Major Yule. The Beers, as
they fled, were followed by the cavalry,
mounted infantry and artillery. The
direction was to the eastward.
Some say that four, and some five
guns We're captured. The Boer artillery
fire was weak. Although the enemy's
position was carried shortly after noon,
the firing continued all afternoon.
The final rush was made with tri-
umphant yell, and as the British troops
charged to close quarters, the enemy
turned and fed, leaving all their i'm
pediments and guns behind them in
their flight. While this was going on,
one battery of artillery, the Eighteenth
Hussars and the mounted infantry,
with part of the Leicester regiment,
got on the enemy's flank and as the
Beers streamed wildly down the hills,
making for the main road, they found
their retreat had been cut off, but they
rallied for while and there
was severe fighting, with considerable
Loss to each side. Many Of the enemy
surrendered. A rough estimate places
the British loss at 300 killed and
wounded and the Beers at 800.
