WASHINGTON , Feb. 23. Undoubt
edly there isaquieterfeelingmanifest-
ed at the navy department over the
Maine affair as time passes. This is
the tenth ( Jay since the war ship was
destroyed , but the officers arc willing
to wait in patience until the facts re
lating to the explosion are fully de
veloped. They are fully on their
guard against the acceptance of unau
thorized statements of the conditions
at Havana and the daily developments ,
being aware of the efficiency of the
precautions adopted by the court of
inquiry to prevent the premature dis
closure of tne proceedings. Therefore
the published statement that the ex
plosion has been demonstrated lo be of
exterior origin by the discovery of the
upheaved double bottom of the Maine
did not cause much of a stir because
the officials could net conceive that the
alert members of the court of inquiry
and their assistants in Havana had
overlooked a fact so important as this ,
nowthstanding it must have been per
fectly apparent for the past week to
any one who came near the wreck in
case it is true.
Captain Croninshield turned up at
the navy department today and took
the helm in the bureau of navigation ,
relieving Captain Dickens , who has
distinguished hinu-elf and earned the
thanks cf th- secretary for the untiring j
vigilance with which he has managed
all of the Maine matters that have
fallen upon the navigation bureau ,
and of the newspaper men for the pa
tience and frankness with which he
has met their manv inquiries.
Captain Croninshield's absence has
been made the basis for the coniecture
that he has been on secret service for
the navy department in Cuba , and
color was lent to this impression bv
the fact that it wis not possible until
a late hour yesterday to secure from
any of the officials a statement of the
nature of his business in the south.
for it was known that he had arrived
in Tampa on the Montgomery from the
West Indies. The officer himself was
not verv communicative- to the de
tails of his trin. but he did sav that he
bad been in Dominao. He had gone
there on the Brooklvn with bis son
when the ship started for St. Thomas.

TOPEKA. Feb 2fi. William J

the Maine affair :
"In my opinion , we should be slow-
to act in the Maine affair , esneciallv
under the tryine : circumstances which
confronts us , " he said. "Another fact
which in my mind impels us tn exer
cise discretion , is that the .official in

CHICAGO , Feb. 2G. H. H. Kohlsaat ,
who is very close to President McKin
ley , publishes the following in the
Chicago Evening Post :
"It can be stated positively that
neither the president nor Secretary
Long is in possession of a single fact
or report in regard to the Maine disas
ter that they have not made public.
And while they cannot confirm or de
ny the sensational stories daily pub
lished throughout tne country as to the
progress of the court of inquiry , they
know that none of the evidence or
conclusions of the court will be made
public in advance of the official report.
Every official connected with the in
vestigation into the cause of the dis
aster to the Maipe , from Captain sampson -
son down to the divers and linemen ,
is under oath of secrecy. For the time
being the divers are under naval disci
pline. When above water each is at
tended by n nettv officer of the court of
inquiry. The Maine itself is sacredly
guarded from unofficial approach.
"These facts account for the remark
able equanimity with which the Amer
ican people read the daily sensations
from Havana and the stock jobbing
forebeddings of war from New York
ai > ' ' Washington.
"This much is absolutely true : Pres
ident McKinlev knows nothing about
the wreck of the Maine or the testi
mony as to its cause that lie has not
made public. 11 ° . will not w 'thhold any
information when he gets it. He has
not eonic to anv conclusion as to
whether it was caused by an internal
or "v'ernal explosion.
"When he receives the report of the
court of inquiry he will know the facts ,
which be will make public , with his
conclusions and policy. "
CHICAGO. Feb. 2 . A special dis-
riatcii to Hie Ohirago Tribune nuotps
President McKinlev as sppaking as fol
lows to a senator who called upon him
yerterday :
'it do not propose to do anvthing at
all to precipitate war with Suain. Up
to the present. I lo not thmk war iq
either necessarv > r inevitable. I would
be lax in mv duh\ however , if T did
not prepare for the future. Tl : situ
ation is srave. and the policy of the
administration will be determined al
most entirelv bv the course of events
from time to time There is no neces
sity of alarming the people , but con
gress mu-t be ready to assist the ad
ministration without making too many
innuiries as to the course or current
events. "
The dispatch to the Tribune con-
tiin' < " 1' ? :
"Tlie president and his cabinet unite
in the belief still , in snite of all evi
dence to th" contrary , that the explos
ion of the Maine was the result of an
unfortunate accident , but they recog
nize the fact that the contrary mav

that , if it is x'lO' .vn even inferentially

Indians Preparing an Outbreak.
CIIADRON. Neb. , Feb. 2t = . No little
excitement was caused here yesterday
when it was rumored that the Indians
at Pine Rid.Te were causing trouble
and preparing for an outbreak.
The report came from Pine Ridge ,
and was brought by a half-breed. He
said that there had been for several
days a feeling of unrest in the fcroast
of the warriors , caused by the rcpor s
that in case of war with Spain the
troops would be taken fiom Fort Rob
inson , and that then would be a good
time to make demands for more ni-
tions from Uncle Sam.
The half-breed , whose name is Tell ,
stated that while hunting for sone
cattle he ran into a band of natives ,
and when they noticed him approach
ing they stopped him and refused to
let him come near.
Being familiar with their customs ,
he is positive that they were in secret
council , rreparing for trouble , as sev
eral of their chiefs were maki-g
speeches , which were cheerd by the
braves.
Deny tin * Iwlstenre of 3Iinr- < .
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. In view ot
the report that the harbor of Havana
contained a system of submarine
mines , a statement : around winch has
centered the chief mibl c irterest in
connection with the battleship Mai"-e.
Senor du Bosc , Spanish charge d'af-
fairs at Washington , makes th s
statement , which , coming from such
authority , may be considered as offi
cial denial :
I wish to state on my own official
knowledge that no mine exists inside
or outside of Havana harbor , nor is
there any submarine defens ? of anv
kind. The report is so absolutely false
and ridiculous that it could only have
originated in the minds of those p r-
sons anxious to excite the angry pas
sions of both nations for their own
miserable ends. I consider the con
sideration of such a thing an insti.t
to Spain.

Perfect Discipline on the Miiinc.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2G. A dispatcli
to the Tribune fioin Havana says :
Captain Sampson's naval board has
been able to gain the fullest informa
tion showing that an accident through
lack of discipline was impossible. This
branch of the inquiry brings out that
the officers and crew of the Maine were
under the strictest discipline , because ,
although on the surface the visit of
the Msine was frit.ndly , Captain Sigs
bee had taken proper precaution
agains hostile action.

fullness therof , reaching to every H
family , there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure , the H
wonder is why we endure and suffer H
so much. From big pains to little * H
aches , which are the wear and tear M
of the physical structure of man , there j H

best. The choice should be always for M
best as the surest and the cheapest. In M
ohronic or acute suffering with rheumatism - M
matism , neuralgia sciatica or lumbago - H

sprains and bruises , or of soreness and M

and the fullness thereof in so many H
complete and perfect cures make it H
stand out as the best remedy for pain. H

order of going for it , and not eo at Hence

vations of discomforts and pains are H
from delay. Why should we sufferv H
