Cubars
Blew up the Maine to Bring
War Between Spain and
United States.

Lecturing at St. Georges church
Kansas City, last Wednesday evening.
Col. Jasper Ewing Brady, one of the
four officers sent by the government to
investigate the destruction of the battle
shis Maine in Havana harbor Febru-
airy IA, 1898, declared the mine which
destroyed the battleship was placed by
the Cubans in order to bring war with
Spain and the deliverance of Cuba. He
further asserted that the information
had been sent to the President and the
Secretary of war.
when | went to investigate the dis
aster with three other officers" Col.
Brady said, there were three theories
concerning the origin of the disaster
that the explosion was caused from the
outside by agents of Spain; that it was
caused from the inside and that the
Maine was anchored over a mine pre-
pared by the Cubans.
I'VE were able to inform the Presi-
dent and Secretary of War that the last
theory was the most consistent with
the facts. This leads to the conclusion
that the Maine was blown up by the
Cubans in order TO bring on war with
Spain and the deliverance of Cuba"
Continuing, he said:
Now will tell you for the first time
the name of the man who blew up the
Maine. He is or was Jose Zavaldo. He
was electrician at Moro Castle. 1t was
he who threw the switch which set of
the powerful mine that destroyed tina,
ship and sent POI lives into eternity in
flash. Zavaldo was afterward shot BY
the order of General Blanco."
Colonel Brady resigned from the army

DIR. Marshall, in the resolutions, will
recommend that mo signer to petition
in regard to a vote on the liquor question,
be accepted as legal, who is not a
property owner" This will no doubt be
met with some opposition, but surely il
will be very small, and the Association
will very likely go on record as un-
animously adopting this movement. DR..
Marshall will also recommend in the
resolution that more united effort be
made to secure temperance men for the
legislature. by beginning work on the
candidates in the primaries. and ascer-
tanning just who can be counted on.

Hargis "Henchmen''
Are Fast Being Killed in
Breathitt by Assassin
Route.

Hargis men are being killed at the
rate of one week in Breathitt county,
according to well known citizen of
Breathitt who was in Frankfort last
week, but who did not want his name
used. He says that On quicksand Creek.
in Breathitt. there have been four men
killed during the last few weeks, and
all of them were known as Hargis men.
He says the killing of John Abner was
simply an outcropping of the old feud
and that the only reason for killing
Abner was because ne was friendly
to ED" Callahan and the late James
Hargis. As to the killing of Matt Craw-
ford, who was also known as Hargis
man, il was stated that the feud had
nothing TO do with this affair, il grow
ing out of the whisky cases in Breathitt.
This citizen of Breathitt. whohas kept
out of the troubles in his home
county, taking neither side of the ques-
ton, says that it is certainly more than
a coincidence that all the men killed in
Breathitt county during the last year
have been Hargis men, who were friends
of the former Judge when he was alive.
and who are now friendly to Callahan.
He states, too. that the killing of men in
Breathitt has not stopped, and that there
are just as many killings now as there
ever were, even when James Hargis was
alive.
Many of the killings in Breathitt, the
visitor stated, are not reported il the
daily papers, and for that reason not as
much is heard of conditions in Breathitt
as was heard when the fight was being
made on Hargis and his followers.
Most of the men slain, he says, are not
of prominence, and for that reason, not
much attention is paid to the killing
outside of Breathitt county. The Wis
itor from Breathitt tells some of the in
side story of some of the killings and
makes it appear that Breathitt is worse
now than it ever was before, with life
less safe there.
