1 SINKING IN THE MUD. Prompt Word la Necessary to Raise . the Maine. v Havana, Feb. 28. The wreck of the Maine is Blowly but surely sinking into the mud. Before the hull can be raised it will be necesBary to move the Runs and deck debris. For lack of proper appliances, practically nothing ' in this line has been accomplished. ' The cloudy weather and rain made the work of the divers unsatisfactory ' today, and very little was done. It is said that a hole has been made by the divers in one of the forward hatches, and it is hoped that a number of bodies will be recovered. The court of inquiry sat longer than usual today, the six divers being exam ined more in detail than heretofore. , At the afternoon session the examina tion of the divers was continued. A civilian whose testimony is said to be of . importance, was also examined. The name of the witness and all partio ulars of the evidence are withheld. Late today, the paymaster's safe, : with $22,500, and his papers, was t.nWon from the wreck. Bevond this. no statement is made as to the value and nature of the oontents. A large quantity of water ran out when the safe v was raised above the surface. The complaint is still made that the electric lamps are of little use to the divers, as the light is faint and uncer tain, and to hold them takes one of the ; diver's hands. Jhey have assuredly proved of little value in the present investigation. i So far as reports made public go, workmen on the Right Arm with 'the assistance of the naval divers are labor ing hard to reoover the bodies under ,tha hatch which led to the fireroom platforms. It is hoped the bodies will - be taken out tomorrow. The Havana papers print long ex tracts from the American papers but of course only of delayed news. All the Americans are anxiously waiting the arrival of tomorrow's mail. Consnl-General Lee says he has re ceived no news of importance from the state department. The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII has been towed to a buoy further within , the harbor to make room for the oruiser Vizoaya which is expected here tomor row or the next day from New York. The wounded are, reported as doing well today. The' wreoking tug Right Arm is engaged in removing Buch parts of the wreck as it is possible to handle in ad vance of the arrival of strong tugs and derricks from the north. It is believed ., the divers from the fleet and Right Arm will remain at work when the Mangrove- leaves. The Fern will be the, only Untied States . vessel in the s harbor after the Mangrove goes, j A TRANSPORT SERVICE. Plant Line Said to Be Prepared to Land rjroopg j navalla. Tampa Fla. Feb. 28. Although the officials of the company have not so stated publioly, nearly everybody here 'r understands that the Plant system has completed arrangements for the trans portation of troops and munitions of . war. to Havana on short notice. All of the ships have been placed in condition for an emergenoy. Should war be de clared it is said that the company has 'perfected plans to land a large body of troops in Havana within 86 hours after their arrival at this place. Troops can be transported from Washington and New York to this port in from 24 to 80 hours. The company has also made ar rangements it is said to land promptly men and arms at Key West and all strategic points on the coast of Florida and at Mobile. -.-. BATTLESHIPS TO BE LAUNCHED An Important Event to Occur at New port News Soon. Richmond, Va., Feb. 28. The offi cers of the Newport News shipyard an nounce tb.it the double launching of the battleships Kentucky and Kearsage , will take plaoe March 24, and will be .. the first double launching of first-class battle-ships in the world. Governor Bradley and staff will come from Kentucky, and Miss Christine (Bradley will christen the Kentucky with a bottle of water taken from the spring from which Abraham Lincoln drank when a boy, while Mrs.Winslow, wife of Lieutenant Wilson, U. S. N., will stand sponsor for the Kearsarge. The ships could be put in commission in six months if necessary, but the con tractors have no hurry orders. The Illinois, the third big battle-ship , building at Newport News, is only a month or two behind the others. .'. Spaniards Eager for War. London - Feb. 28. Aocording to a , v special dispatch from Madrid reports received there from the United States to the effect that publio opinion in the latter country is ' becoming more ex cited owing to the impression that the 1 Maine disaster was not due to accident are "restirring popular feoling here (in Madrid) and the conviction is increasing ; in ministerial oircles that the worst runst bo expected." : j; Continuing the dispatch says: , "The - government has no choice if the United States adopts a threatening attitude for the prospect of war is popular with all ' parties and the more excitable newspa pers are already urging the government to take measures to enable Spain to strike the first and decisive blow." - Town Nearly Destroyed. ,Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 28. Floods ' and avalanches have partly destroyed the town of Monte Cristo, situated in the heart of the Cascade mountains. The railroad connecting the place with , Everett has been washed out, and the lack of railroad connections has caused the concentrator and the part of the Monte Cristo mines which John D. . Rockefeller owns to shut down. ,' In. 1897 Ohio furnished almost 87, 000 tons of grindstones, ' WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities of the World. It begins to look as if Leiter, for all his impudence in ignoring the advice of Tom, Dick, Harry and other old time fcpeculators, knew something about run ning a wheat deal. Where wheat will get to is . beyond anybody's ken. Armour says there is no reason why it should not be put to $1.50. He adds he is a believer in high prices for another year. Leiter talks $1.25. No human being can foreoast a market with cer tainty, for it would be no market if such a thing were possible. Leiter ap preciates this or he would not now be marketing his cash holding. The spec ulators with widest experience agree that the Leiter oontrol is as complete as anything human could be. , There has never been a time, though, and never will be, when there are not con tingencies enough about the wheat sit uation to keep it exciting. The Leiter wheat interest continues larger than any that ever existed before. It was deemed extraordinary early in February that he should extend his purchases into May. He has not stopped at that. He has gone into July. His risks on his oash lines in the pit have been re duced by his recent sales, but his line in the pit have been increased. The whole effort has been of late to cheapen the average holding, and it would look as if success had attended that. Leiter has lost more or less wheat on ''oalltj." What he has dope in the pit. is mere guses work. The "talent" believe his May line a very commanding one, some where between 6,000,000 bushels and 10,000,000 bushels. His accumulations of July wheat last weelmight easily have - readied 2,500,000 bushels, per haps double that. The figures seem grandiose. Loiters' ideas 'of quanti ties are, however, different from the ordinary trades. It will be no exag geration, in the estimation of any pro fessional in this market, to putLeiter's interest, with all his recent cash sales, at 23,000,000 bushels. . His present profits, on paper, must be astounding, easily $2,000,000, perhaps double that. If Leiter .continues, to be favored to the end as he has been in the past the story of his huge wheat operations will read like an oriental one, the plans too magnificent, the results too extraordi nary to be everyday.

A Study of Conditions In the Paciflo Northwest. There is a work going on in connec tion with the geological surveys of the government that is of Interest to the nation at large, also to the world in general. This is known as the hydro graphic department, and relates to reo lamation of arid lands by means of irrigation. What has been known as the great Amerioan Desert, and so des ignated on the maps up to a generation of time ago, was not desert in the nor mal sense of possessing no soil, but be cause of the lack of water to make its soil available. The object of the gov ernment is to make praotical tests, based on scientific faot, to discover how arid lands can be made to produce har vests and so become homes for millions of people. t In the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho are wide areas that are cap able of development, if water can be had to stimulate the soil. We may suppose that sagebrush land is worth less, but wherever sagebrush prows the soil is good and generally deep. There is so much of what we call desert in the North Pacific region that the citi zens of these states are specially inter ested in the subject of Irrigation. In regard to Oregon half the area of the state is arid, and two-thirds of all east of the Cascades. Whatever will re deem our arid lands will add greatly to the future wealth and prosperity of the state. From Mr. Bobb, who has lately re turned from a season in the North Pa cific states, it is learned that at the re quest of a local engineer he investigat ed the water supply of the Dungeness district, on the Sound, where there is shortage of water for crops in June, July and August. He placed stations on the Dungenness, Elwha and Soldeck", to ascertain what supply can at that season be depended on for irrigating ditches, in case private capital desires to make such investment. In Eastern Washington gauge sta tions are located as follows: One each on the Spokane,' Natchess, Wenatchee and Palouse, and three on the Yakima. He also made mountain surveys for reservoir sites to save water through the rainy season for use in summer,, as is done in the San Bernardino moun tains in Southern California. In Oregon the work has but com-menced,- though there is far more arid land in that state than in Washington. A station is established at Gibbon, on the Umatilla, not far from the hot springs; another on the Malheur; one on the Owyhee, in the extreme north east. Mr. Bobb expressed much inter est in Hood river valley, where is a station, for he saw its wonderful fruits; there is also a station on the Deschutes. Idaho offers greater opportunity for irrigation than Oregon, as she has mountain ranges and various rivers. Stations are on the Weiser, Boise, Pay ette, Port Neuf, Bear river, and at Montgomery's 'ferry, on Snake. As this work is comparatively recent, re sults have not as yet been so clear and certain as at other districts. When we estimate the immense Area of arid lands and know that, not in cluding Alaska, one-third of the .United States remains still public do main, and that the greater portion of this is arid land rich in soil, but with out water supply, the immense import ance of this work is apparent. The in terest these gentlemen take in their work is apparent from the kindness with which they furnish information. Take, the North Pacific states and estimate the area of arid lands, and the result is surprising. In Eastern Washington there is an area of 6,000,' 000 of acres requiring water supply to become productive. Eastern Oregon is yet larger, and has a much greater proportion of what is called desert, save that flocks and herds graze over it when water can be had at alb . Idaho has vast areas to the south and some on the north, but facilities for water supply are present in its ' various streams. The two states Idaho and Oregon must have 15,000,000 of acres arid, making a total of over 20,000,000 in the three states, that can be trans formed to homes, if water can work its magio there. There are also extensive natural basins where water can be had by bor ing artesian wells, by which means much land can be made , productive. While the government does not practic ally experiment by boring such wells, its agents study the results attained by private enterprise, and have maps, as for instance, of the Pueblo district of Colorado to show how great an area sufface has an underflow that can cotne to the surface; also where water supply can be had for pumping. . When we know that a quarter-section of land will make a home for a family, and take the arid acreage of the three North Pacific) states for a basis of esti mate; if bne quarter of this area can be redeemed, it will furnish homes for 87,500 families and support a popula tion of 250,000 people. .Take the arid portions of Oregon and Idaho, 'and it means that from 500,000 to 750,000 people can find productive farms if the arid lands of these states pan be re claimed. The towns, cities and in dustries naturally pertaining will sup port 1,000,000 total. This work is furnishing valuable facts on which to base reclamation of the arid lands of this continent, which is one of the most important questions for our statesmen to consider.' Priceless Boon to Our Followers. Of course all this vaBt "extent of arid territory cannot be made available for farms and homes, but very much of it can be, and the work of experiment and disoovery that goes on so constant ly may discover more means for such reclamation. The rapid growth of population will soon exhaust all lands fit for homesteads. To add this arid area to our productive domain will be a priceless boon to those who are to fol lows us. : , ALASKA BREAD. . How to Prepare the "Staff of Life," by a Practical Miner. Bread in Alaska means always baking power bread or biscuit, for no other kind is possible. There ia no yeast or any other means of laising dough. An experienced miner, one who has been in Alaska five years, has just given us two of his most useful receipts. Those who think of going to the Klondike should keep them, and those who stay at home will be interested in knowing how a practical miner prepares his "staff of life." Bread: quart of flour, two tablespoon fuls of Cleveland's baking powder, half a teaspoonful of salt; mix up with cold water or milk until stiff. Grease the pan, bake until cooked (about half an hour). Biscuit: quart of flour, two teaspoon fuls Cleveland's baking powder, and half a teaspoonful of salt. Mix thor oughly while dry with lard or bacon fat. Then mix with waUr or milk un til stiff enough to roll out. Cut into oircles with top of baking powder can or cup; bake about fifteen minutes. Several other Alaska , receipts to gether with lists of groceries, clothing and supplies to- take with one are pub lished in a Klondike ciroular.
