ties during the recent revolution in
that country, a letter has been re-
ceived by the town clerk of Dublin
from Sir Edward Grey, secretary for
foreign affairs, intimating that his
majesty's ambassador in Lisbon, Sir
F. Villiers, had written explaining
that the expulsion of the nuns was
carried out in accordance with the
recent decree suppressing religious
associations in Portugal.
The letter goes on to say: .-.
The enforcement of the decree
could not but lead to hardship. The
strong existing popular feeling on the
subject obliged the. government to put
the decree in force at once. and this
was done with as little severity as
the circumstances would permit. The
nuns resident in the Lisbon converts,

THE OLD QUESTION
Who Blew Up the Maine? American
Spy Gives Version.

Who Blew Up the Maine? American
Spy Gives Version.
That neither Cuba nor the Spanish
government itself was to blame for
the blowing up of the battleship Maine
or the resulting war with Spain, but
that the explosion was prompted by
powerful interests to which Spain was
in debt, is the statement of J. G. Crow
ley, an American former spy for the
Cuban government.
In signed statement to the Oregon
ian, which is directed to the "Ameri-
can public" Crowley says:
Il note in the press an article pur-
porting to be the words of Col. ]. e.
Brady, which places the blame for the
destruction of the United States bat
tleship Maine upon the Cubans, which
is wrong and which wish to correct,
because the theory was sprung and
exploited by the very men responsible
for the crime.
II notice another statement from
Senator Atwater, which is nearer cor.
rect, though it certainly was not Jose
Seavaldo that actually blew up the
Maine. Seavaldo was an electrician
soldier in the Spanish army (some say
navy, but to the best information Of
our spies he was of the signal corps
Of the army. seavaldo had much to
do with the connecting of the mines
in the harbor Of Havana, which the
Americans, assisted by the native Gu
bans in Havana, succeeded in cutting,
thus foiling the first attempt to blow
up the Maine.

the wire to the torpedo which de-
stroyed tho Maine, but he did net

You'll be sorry tomorrow, sorry
That you played the cowardly part
That you hid in mask of silence
And the hypocrite's hateful art.

And born of the mean degree,
And it creeps away at the end of the

You'll be sorry tomorrow, sorry
For the deed that fears the light.
