tions are proceed in ; for the purchase
of the Brazilian cruiser Amazonus and

United ."states, but so far as the navy
department is advised, iiave not yet
been closed. Th; negotiations for the
purchase of ttvo Japanese cruisers jo
Miildini at Philadelphia and San
Francisco are off, and present indi
cations are that no further steps will
be taken toward acquiring the ships.
The Japanese government appears to
be even more desirous of securing
hese ships than the United States,
xnd owing to the delicate character of
the aspect of affairs between Russia
and Japan, it is felt that the needs of
Japan are quite as urgent as those of
this couBtry.

The torpedo squadron, unless the

this week to the Canaries, while the
two torpado destroyers leave direct for
Cuba. A strong sentiment is growing
that peace or war should come without
delav. .. . ' '
"'The'tnercurial 'TDerturbations of thffH

here of being undignified. For exam
ple, at the cabinet council the price of

time than the attitude of the United

ruffled and keeps optimistic.
The government organs, the Liberal
and the Correo, caustically state that
t!ie Eiiglish false reports circulated
have created a daDgerous condition of
publi3 sentiment.
Further reinforcements of troops
have sailed from Santandor for Cuba.
There is no truth in the report that

The anxiety as to relations between
Spain and the United States which
has pervaded financial and commer
cial circles for several days, culminated
Thursday in a heavy fail in funds, all
securities of the exterior and interior
debts declining 1 per cent. Foreign
exchanges have risen in an unprece
dented degree, prices on Paris being
3o premium, and on London 39 pre

the government to stop the panic by a
prompt and clear statement as to real
conditions existing in Cuba, and also
by defining international relations.

More than this, it appears the Maine
was purposely moored in the vicinity
of the mine, and that the explosion
occurred at the moment when the ship
had been opportunely carried by wind
and tide directly over the mine.
These facts have been hinted at and
written about in dispatches from Ha
vana, Madrid and Washington, and
among the varied statements made,
the actual conditions have been touch
ed upon, but nothing authorative has
been permitted to escape from thj
court.
There can be but one outcome of
such a report, and preparations for the
inevitable result are being industri
ously and ladefatigably prosecuted.
The work of the week chows that the
government at Washington annre-
ciates the situation, and will be readv
to meet what has now ceased to be a
mere emergency.

Policy to He Pursued Toward Cuba and
Spaiu.
St. Paul, March 14. Tho Globe's
Wash'ngton special says:
The president and his cabinet know
officially the result of the Maine in
quiry. They are prepared to aft.
They have canvassed the coursa of
events so far as they can forsee them
and have formulated a policy to meet
the emergency. Along its lines the
administration expects to move unless
it is swept off its feet by a wave of pop
ular dissatisfaction. The Globe's spec-
al correspondent is able to present
the forecast of events as viewed by the
president and his cabinet. It can be
outlined thus:
One The court of inquiry will re
port that the exploion was external.
Two Tho pret-ident will immediate-
y. through Minister Woodford, de
mand from Spain an indemnity of $10,-
000.(100.
Three Spain is expected to reply
expressing lir willingness to pay if
she is responsible, but maintaining
that her own investigation shows that
the explosion was internal and purely
awidedtal. She will therefore sug
gest reference to an international
board of arbitration.
Four In such an event the admin
istration would be disposed to comply
with the suggestion unless an irresist
able demand for war sweeps through
congress.
Five If congress acquiesces in tho
suggestion, the attempt will bo made
to adjourn the body and leave the
whole matter in the president's hands.
Six It is expected that a large
majority of congressmen will claim
that such a matter of honor cannot be
arbitrated. It is further expected that
the leaders of both houses, including
Senator- Davis, - ot-.-Minnesota, ...will
favor arbitration.
COFIRMFO AT WASHINGTON.
Government Has Bought the Amazonas
mid Admiral Urea.
Wasiiixgtox, March 14. The re
ported sale to the United States of the
Brazilian cruisers Amazonas and Ad
miral Abrenall now receiving their
finishing touches in English shipyards,
was confirmed here this afternoon. It
is said furthermore tbat Spain cannot
purchase ships either from Chili or
Argentine Republic.
'JhebL', armored cruiser Brooklyn
arrived at Fortress Monroe this morn
ing direct frm La Guayra, Venezuela.
She made a fine run up and it is ex
pected await at Hampton Roads
the arrival of the Minneapolis and
Columbia, which are j'let fitting out at
Philadelphia. This force will form an
excellent nucleus for a protected "fly
ing squadron," in case the depart
ment decides to form one.
Orders have been sent toCorarro
dore Howell, commanding the Euro
pean station, to send a force of men
from the San Francisco to take posses
sion of and hoist the United States
flag on the Brazilian ship that is
ready to go into commission at New
castle. This will prevent any diffi
culty in cane hoitiUuies should break
out, as the ship would be under the
flag but lying in a friendly harbor.

San Francisco,, March 14 Ben
jamin Cluff, jr., president of the Brig
ham Youi g academy at Provo, Utah,
l as returned from a visit to the Ha
waiian islands, where be went at the
solicitation of Uuited States senator
Frank J. Cannon, to determine the
status of the anr.exatioa sentiment
among the Hawaiian islands. He
speaks the Kanaka language fluently,
and has made a thorough cuuyas
among the natives of Oahu, Maui and
Hilo. He said:
"As a result of my investigation I
would say tbat probably one-half of
the intelligent natives of the islands
are pronounced advocates of annexa
tion. Of the remaining half I would
say tbat the great majority are pri
marily in fayor of the restoration of
the monarchy, and secondly they
would much prefer annexation to the
United States to a continuation of the
present government.
EVIDENCE IS
ALL
IN.
Investigation, of the Court of Inquiry
Practically Ended.
New York, March 1 1. A dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says:
The naval board has substantially
completed its investigation. Every
thing now is in the nature of cumula
tive testimony strengthening the evi
dence that the Maine was blown up by
an external explosion. The divers
this week have been able to add little
to what they previously learned. In
effect the proof from the condition of
the hull and the kt el, as well as the
magazines, makes what might be called
a complete case of structural evidence
of an external cause.
Many accounts of conspiracy are
eifted by the board without result. A
digest and analysis ef the testimony

FORTY MEN PERISHED

Evidence That a Sub Marine Mine Kxploded
I'mler the Main Now in the
Hands of the
1'resldent.
New York, March 13 Just before
o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the Bowery mission. The
building, which is a five-story strut
ture, contained between 170 and 200
lodgers, and while the majority of
them escaped, it is known that at least
40 of the men who had gone to sleep
there for the night lost their lives in
the conflagration. There were many
hairbreadth escapes, some of the oc
cupants jumping from upper floors.
Several of those who jumped were
badly injured, while others escaped
without a seratcb.
It is supposed that one of the lodgers
accidentally sit fire to some paper in a
closet on the third floor, and the flames
were soon beyond control. Some one
shouted fire from a window, and several
policemen rushed up the stairs to the
rescue of the occupants. By this time
most of the lodgers had been awakened
and were rushing about in their night
clothes, panic-stricken. An alarm
was turned in by a pedestrian, who
saw the smoke coming from the third
floor, when a lodger had thrown open
a window to escape being suffocated
and was hanging half way out to avoid
inhaling the smoke.
By this ti-ne the men who had gone
to sleep in the mission and been so
suddenly awakened to battle for their
lives in the flames were in such a con
dition that neither the police nor fire
men could cope with them. Tbey
were mad in their effnrts to escape,
and in many instances the firemen had
to struggle desperately with the lodg
ers to b'-ing them to the street in
safety.
At 3 o'clock, when the flames were
under control, one of the firemen, who
bad made a tour cf the entire building,
emerged and reported to Chief Bonner
that he bad seen at least 40 dead bodies,
nis report was that he had discoverad
two bodies on the first floor, five on
the second, eight on the third, 12 on
the fourth and 13 on the fifth floor.

SpanlRh Supremacy in Cuha In Perfectly
Paralyzed.
New York, March 14. A Tribune
dispatch from Havana says:
The political and military condition
of Spanish sovereignty in Cuba today
is described in a single word. It is a
condition of paralysis, and tho United
States is feeding its starving inhabi
tants. Knowledge, of the desperate
situation apparently is nerving the of
fical classes to excite feeling against
the United States as a means of cover
ing up their internal weakness. The
presence of the Spanish warships
serves this purpose
General Blanco's autonomist govsrn
ment, so far as an autonomist govern
ment exists, is reflecting the instruo
tions from Madrid, encouraging re.
sistance to American intervention on
the grounds laid down in the president's
message. Abstrac'b of Minister
Moret's speech are published b'.-re and
all classes are exhorted to unite. No
result follows, because, while Spain
might be deceived by the colonial
minister's pretensions, the people of
Cuba cannot bo misled.
The claim that the Spanish arms are
making progress only draws attention
to tho failure of the military operations,
and to tho knowledge that in what
little fighting is going on tha insur
gents are generally successful.

Washington March 13. The pres
ident has before him sufficient evi
dence to be convinced that tho Maine
was destroyed through the treachery
of Spaniards, and at a cabinet meeting
it was determined to demand an in
demnity of $10,000,000 for the l:ss or
the vessel and the death of the sailors
who lost their lives in the disaster.
It is learned that Spain will ask for
an international board of arbitration
to adjust the iodemnity and this will
be granted by the administration. In
the mean time there is no cessation in
the preparations for war.
Convict! Walkout.
Salem, Or., March 12. C. F. Moore
and George F. Betz, trusties at the
penitentiary, deliberately walked away
from tbat institution tonight about 8
o'clock. Both men were serving three
years for robbery committed in Port

24, 1897. Moore was cook in the of
ficers' kitchen, and Betz was teamster

The penitentiary officials have put the

their track, and expect to have them
back shortly, as both are well-known

SiAM SAPPHIRE MINES. -
Vain of Their Product I Id th Quantity
Not Quality.
The Pailin mines are spread ever an
area six miles by two, and consist of 13
mining villages, the chief of which are
Baw Tulia and Baw Dineo. These two
are more than four miles apart, but.
they ore joined by un excellent road cat
through the forest and well drained.
Sapphires, says the London Times, are
found all over this district; the whole
countryside is riddled with hole sunk
In tlie red soil down to the sapphire
layer. Formerly the stones were found
quite near the surface, but those places
have long since been exhausted, al
though the Burmese still continue to
turn over the old heaps in the firm con
viction that precious stones grow. Now
the stones are found at a depth of from
IS to 25 feet, in a reddish, gravelly layer
of varying thicknesB up to 18 inches.
The pit sunk is usually some fire feet
In diameter and either square or cir
cular. Soil is raised in bamboo bask
ets, attached to the end of a balanced
lever, and when the sapphire layer is
reached the stratum Is carried to the
nearest water and washed carefully for
stones. Not more than one shaft in
three pays for its working expenses, but
when the sapphire layer is struck the
profits may be large indeed. It is all
a question of luck. To dig and workout
one shaft occupies two or three men
one month. Two or three Burmes; iren-
erally go into partnership and hire
Laos miners to work for them and sink
the shaft at the rate of two ticab (two
shillings eight pence) per 18 inches. Oc
casionally sapphires of considerable
value reward the miner, but tho sap
phires of Pailin are of more commercial
value because of their quantity than be
cause of their intrinsic excellence.
A NEW RECORD. '
Doapeat Bpot la the Ocean Nearly Sis
HUH.
For 20 years or more the deepest spot in
the ocean has been supposed to be to the
northeast of Japan, says the New York
Journal. There the bottom lies 4,655
fathoms down, or more than five miles
beneath the surface of the waves.
In the latest hydrographer's report of
admiralty surveys, made by the British
government, this ocean record, whioh
has Btood so long, is beaten, for there is
official information of a deeper sound
ing than has hitherto been made. The
deepest ' spot in the ocean, so far as
known nt present, has been found to be
in the neighborhood of th Friendly and
Kcrmadee islands, in the Southern Pa
cific. Here the maximum depth is
5,155 fathoms, or close upon six miles.

on board the British ship Penguin, is all

the more interesting for the fact
bears out the result of previous
searches, showing curiously enou
it does that the deepest parts of the sea
are not far from land.
Deep-sea 'sounding has come of late
years an exact science in itself. One cu
rious feature of it, and one which is lit
tle known, is that the "leads" used have
to be constructed with especial strength
in order to withstand the enormous
pressure of the mass of water which
bears down upon them when they lie
upon the bottom. So great is this pres
sures that the sounding apparatus ia
ordinary use would be crushed.

The little English sparrow is becom
ing so numerous that there is con
siderable discussion about adopting
methods of getting rid of the pest.
They are here, says the Galveston
Aews, by the thousands and are re
markable for their fecundity, as they
lay from five to six eggs each sit
ting and raise three broods a year.
They are no longer considered insec
tiverous, and owing to their pugnacious
habits, making war upon the birds that
are desired and destroying their eggs,
as well as making themselves obnox
ious in a great many ways, and with
their rapidly increasing numbers, their
extermination will be a matter of s
serious nature here at an early data.
Other towns are doubtless experiencing
trouble with them, as the bird is mi
gratory in pairs, settling only where
there is habitation and springing into
the thousands like a mushroom. . A
prominent citizen here who has a sum-,
ber of mocking birds in the trees and
shrubbery in his yard, and who has .
time and again watched the onslaughts
of this vicious little bird with an inva
