Ambushed and Murdered One of the Van

He Is tb Victim of an
Old Fend.
Havana, Feb. 20. The following in
connection with the blowing up of the
Maine has developed: '
Three days before the . explosion a
boat containing three Spanish sailors
was seen rowing from Machina in the
direction of the Maine. The Spanish
sentinel of the Machina wharf chal
lenged them. They stopped and came
ashore, and, after being detained about
an honr, were released, as they gave a
satisfactory explanation of their sus
picious action.
A beat with two persons on board,
which was going from Havana to
Pregia, on crossing the bay, found
Itself intercepted by a wire which
seemed to come from the drydeck and
extend in the direction of the Maine.
The men in the boat had to lower it to
be able to pass.
These men, whose names are kept
secret for the present, intend to pre
sent themselves and report the facts to
the commission, which is expected
here to investigate the Maine disaster.
A Spanish woman, who recently
arrived here from Spain, on hearing
of the report of the disaster, said to a
number of persons whom she supposed
were all Spaniards:
"So the Maine has been blown up!
No wonder I wasjtold yesterday not to
go near the wharf, ai the ship was go
ing to be blown up."
Another suspicious incident is that
a few seconds after the accident sev
eral Spaniards from a distant part of
the city all said: .
"That is the Maine, which has been
blown up.!"
Santos Gusman, a representative of
the Spanish Constitutional Union, was
n his bouse In Cerro, entertaining
friends. As soon at he heard the ex-
osion, he said: ''
"I guess that is the boat that has
blown up in the bay!"
Since the disaster, there has been
great rejoicing among the Spaniards,
and many bottles of champagne have
been opened in .Havana to celebrate
the killing of Americans. '

TOE PRESIDENT'S OPINION.
Accident Theory Adhered to Iv the Abtence
of Contrary Proof.
Washington. Feb. 18. At an early
hoar this morning President McKio
ley consented to make the following
statement regarding the Maine, which
was given out by his secretary :
"Based on information iiow in his
possession, the president believe? that
the Maine was blown up as the result
of an accident. If it is found that the
disaster was not an aeeiden. prompt
and decisive steps will be taken in the
premises. The finding of the naval
court will develop the cause, and until
that is submitted nothing will be done."

Story of an Infernal Machine Keen Ap
proaching the Bow of the Maine.
New York, Feb. 18. The Ne
lork Herald this uorniog prints the
following from its Key West correspon
dent:
"I learn on undoubted authority that
one of the Maine's sailors who was
taken to. the marine hospital, out of
gratitude for the kind treatmeat and
careful nursing received from surgeons
and attendants, has broken the seal of
silence enjoined by his superior officers
beforn leaving Havana, .and makes a
statement, the truth of which cannot
be doubted and which points to the
deliberate destruction of the vessel.
"The sailor, whose name for obvious
reasons is withheld for the present,
says he was on watch on the forward
aecic snortly before tne explosion oc
curred. Whilu looking over the
Maine'j bow into the waters of the
bay he saw a black object slowly com
ing toward the vessel. The object,
whatever it was, was apparently illum
inated and emitted smoke. Ha sus
pected something wrong and started
to communicate the fact to the officer
of the day, when the explosion took
placa. Ihe Maine was reared in the
air and he was thrown to the deck
stunne'd and bleeding.
He also says simultaneously with the
raising of the Maine he saw the steam
launch which was moored alongside
the Maine also thrown out of the water.
This was before the second exploticn
n the Maine's magazine was felt, and
which sent her to the bottom.

TERMINATION OF A USEFUL. CIREEB.
Frances Wlllard's Nelghors Deplore ber
Dnath.
CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Although the
fatal termination of Miss Willard'a ill
ness was not entirely unexpected in
Evapston, it was nevertheless an in
tense shock to ber friends when (bey
beard of it. It was here that she de
veloped those qualities of leadership
which raised her to a position of so
great prominence as an - advocate of
temperance. Mias Willard was well
nown to rhaay now living in Evans-
ton, whose friendship was on the same
ntimate footing when the great lectur
er attained tbe height of her fame, as
when her gentle iofluenc and. badding
genius first made itself felt in the little
illage.
"Rest Cottage," where Miss Willard
made ber borne, was always kept ready
for her return. The souvenirs of ber
ork and the many-jlec -of homer
bold furnitvre made dear by association
were cherished with great care, and
her room was kept in constant readi-
ess for an unexpected return.
Mrs. A. M. Kimball, a personal
friend of the lamented leader, and well
newn in temperance circles, lived in
le cottage, and when told of tbe
death of Miss Willard. she was inex
pressibly shocked.
People ail ovw the world will feel
er loss, for Miss Willard occupied a
porkion which can never be filled.
The good work will go on, but the loss
of l or advice as a leader will be deeply
It. Tbe impetus which Miss Willard
ha.l riven to the work of saving the
temple will be carried through. Her
fi'i"i:l3 will accept the duty of con.
thiuii'sr the work commenced by her
as a beq lest, and will feel that it wiU
be a violation of ber confidence to
pcru.it, tbe work to flag.

Mafblflccnt Battleships Beady for Vig
orous Action.
San Francisco, Feb. 20. There are
signs of activity about-all military
posts in the harbor. Everything that
can be done is being done to put forti
fications in readiness in the event of
trouble. ' Guns are receiving minute
attention and are being put in perfect
working order. Tbe Pacific coatt
would never suffer from attack in event
of war with Spain. This is tbe opin
ion of naval experts. Should Spain,
however, undertake to send vessels to
bombard Pabific coast ports she would
be met by a powerful fleet of vessels,
among the foremost of which are the
battleship Oregon and tbe coast de
fense vessels Monadnock and Monterey.
There is not a vessel on the Asiatic
station flying tbe Spanish, flag which
is powerful enough tp cope with the
squadron that could be called to defend
our exposed cities. , In addition to the
three powerful ' sbips mentioned, tbe
Philadelphia and Charleston are at
the navy yard at Mare Island, and the
Petrel, Concord, Yorktown, .Benning
ton, Wheeling and Marietta are with
in easy call.
The Baltimore, Boston, Olympla and
Machias are available, from Asiatic
and Hawaiian duty. Stould trouble
arise, the United States would undoubt

New York, Feb. 21. A dispatch to

It is learned from "what may be con
sidered a semi-official source 'that
divers sent down on behalf of the
United States to examine the wreck of
the battle-ship Maine have)mide a
preliminary report -of the result of
their work.
Incredible as it may seem, it saj
that after a partial examination of the
magazines of the Maine, the divers
report the one in which the explosion
is supposed to have occurred is intact.
According to the correspondent's in
formant, the contents of the magazine
are uninjured. Therefore, if this i
true an entirely different aspect is
given to the terrific explosion which
brought death and destruction to the
Maine.
This report reaching KeyWest, it is
said, caused the members of the court

just been released on &500 bonds at
Gold Beacb, tbe county seat of Curry
county, where they were under indict
ment for the murder of young Coolidge. .
The people of Chetco thought that
after the arrest of the Van Pelts, the
Coolidges having gone to Silverton,
Or., there would be no further t-ouble
in the otherwise quiet little village, or
at least until after the trial of the Van
Pelts, which will take place in the
circuit court at Gold Beach next Sep
tember, but it seems there was some
one left who was hunting for revenge.

DISCONTENTED WITH THE GODS
Hindoos Constantly Btraggllns;
. folythmam and Mothaloan.
The gods of India are everywhere,
and yet they seem to be nowhere. The
religion' has been one long 'winter of
discontent; one prolonged straggle on
the part of the people to worship many
gods under many shapes, while al
ways on the point ot believing in one
single divine essence as the canse and
creator of all things; a hand to hand
fight between polytheism and monothe
ism, in which the priests have contin- -nally
endeavored to play the part of
conciliators. Vishnu and Siva are now
the chief contending parties, and the
priests have tried to make them agree .
by adding a third supreme deity in the
shape of Brahma. Of this fact Ingen
ious searchers after collateral evidence
of Christianity have made capital, say
ing that Brahma, Vishnu and Siva are
Inseparable, and that the Hindoos are
evidently in possession of the dogma of
the trinity, says a writer in the ven
ttiry. As a matter of fact this is pure,
nonsense, and contains aa much truth,
as the parallels that have been drawn,
between Christ and Buddha, Christ and
Krishma, Napoleon the Oreat and
Apollo. Archbishop' Whately, in his
great squib, showed once and for all
the absurdity of such demonstrations.
For the chief of Buddhist institutions'
was the monastery, and in no Catholic
country have the mendicant and priest-
ly orders ever nourished in -sncn. num
bers, in, such wealth or in such power
aa they did in India during the eight
or nine hundred years which elapsed
from the rise to the extinction of Budd
hism. The monks took the vows of poverty
and mendicancy as individuals, but tho
order, aa a body, owned vast estates,
magnificent buildings and untold
riches. Their error lay in severing
themselves too much from the people,
in making their religion too abstract
for popular comprehension, in leading
lives which were too secluded to admit
of any breadth of view and too well
provided with good things for any great
intellectual activity. They have left
but little behind them worthy to De
ranked as literature. In countries -where
people live much in the open air,
dress simply when they dess at all and r
eat what they can get, it requires little
effort of imagination or skill of pen to
make them seem aa primitive as one
pleases. As a matter of factT where" tT."
is very easy to live, or, at least, where
little thought or labor is requisite to '
obtain the means of living, a nation en
dowed with any natural activity is very
likely to devote its energies to intel-.
lectual pursuiter-and the result is sure
to be a state of national tbonght which,
in despite of scanty clothing and rice
for breakfast, dinner and supper, will "
turn out the very reverse of primitive. :
India is such a country, and, so far as
the Aryans are concerned, always has
been. What it was before the Aryan
conquest we have no means of know- '
Inir. but it is not at all likely that tne
modern religions and customs belonged
to the aborigines prior to that date. It '
seems much more natural to suppose
that the Vedio hymns and the Vedie
faith if we may so call it were at all
times the exclusive property of the
higher class of Aayans and that popu- ,
lar religions existed among the masses,
as they do now, simultaneously with
the highly-civilized belief of the veoie
Brahmans. The word brahmana, as
designating a member .of the priestly
caste (distinguished from the brahman,
the officiating priest and singer of the .
sacred verses), is found only in the very
latest of the hymns, showing that no '
such distinction was necessary before -
