to The Hee today that the prcsUont was
profoundly thankful nt the temper of Ameri
can people , ns shown during the last two
weeks , even though greatly wrought up by
the utterance of the sensational press. He
denied flatly thit there was any disagree
ment In the cabinet as to whether an In
demnity should be asked from Spain In the
event It was shown that the Mlano was ex
ploded from the outside. "The cabinet did
not discuss at Us Friday session any phase
of Indemnity , " said the secretary. "It was
not up for consideration. Should It be dis
closed that the Maine was 'wrecked by ex
ternal force 'then ' It will bo lime enough to
discuss what should be done to preserve our
national honor. I have uo more news about
the Malno than has the American people , It
flmvlug been ordered by Prcaldcnt McKlnley
that everything should bo made public ns
soon as received. The president was a sol
dier In the civil war and I believe that the
honor of the United States Is safe In his
keeping. "

Senator Thurston. has been Interested In
ecuring relief for certain citizens In Banner
eounly who , having fenced public lands , were
notified to remove.tho fences by a special
agnnt of the land office. It appears that
these lands , -wCille , taken for farming pur
poses originally , have been gradually given
up to pasturage , and as gradually home
steaders have been growlcg larger as the
needs of the stockmen Increased. Repeated
failures of crop's taught these people that the
lands were Illy adapted for anything else but
gracing purposes and have been sd taken.

served notlco on ofrucrs to remove fences ,
and these facts being shown , Senator Thurs-
lon asitea ior , a guspDnslcn of tlie sentence ,
whjch Commissioner.Herrmann ordered to
day. The commissioner eays In ( Cie absence
of Individual complaints no further action
will be taken as It has been shown that no

homcvseekers or use of pastures by the gen
eral public.

N. Y , : I respond to your telegram that'lf
full , thorough Investigation shows destruc

ery or culpable Spanish carelessness , wo
should demand full Indemnity and ample
apology. If both are not glv 2n , wnr IB In
evitable , however much to be deplored.
Preliminary Investigation should be thor
ough nnd dispassionate and the llndlnps of
fact should be Incontrovertible. Newspaper
sensationalism , with display type , exagger

censurable at this crisis. The president
should not be hindered by unfair criticism ,
but upheld by every patriot. There can bo
no party lines In this emergency. If war
comes , my services can be commanded and

NEW YORK , Fob. 20. At the headquar
ters of the Cuban junta 'n this city the matter -
tor of alleged existence of mines In the
harbor of 'Havana ' was the subject of free
discussion. In support of the allegations
that such mines were laid , flics of local
papers of November , 189G , were produced In
which It was asserted that one shipment of
six tons of dynamite was > ma'o ' from this
port and that the steamer Cludad , which
sailed about the 19th of the month named ,
refused to take passengers because It
carried a large consignment of dynamite for
General Weyler. It was also alleged In the
newspaper Illea shown that about the same
time a St. Louis concern was to make a
tender of ten tons of dynamite for Immediate
shipment to Cuba.

The men , when taken aboard the Rotter

been In the ship's lifeboat for nli days and
nights , The men ncro all more or less
frostbitten , Unsworth said the La Cham
pagne broke Its tall end shaft on Thursday ,
February 17 , at G p. in. , In latitude 4N:27 : ,

helpless condition , Cnpfaln Polrot anchored.
The stcamrr was on the edge of the New
foundland banks , and there being a pos
sibility of the steamer not being picked up
In Its position. Captain Polrot decided t
send a lifeboat In search of assistance.
On the morning of February IS the life
boat , being fully provisioned. Unsworth an
his crew of nine men left the ship In th
hope of Intercepting some passing steamer
The weather proved tempestuous , with In
tense cold A sharp lookout was kept to
passing steamers , but none were seen. Th
boat's crow kept to their oars , and for six
days worked with might and main , bu
owing to the cold nnd exposure became wcl
nigh exhausted.
On February 24 , at 1 p. m. , the Rottcrdan
bore down and stood by , and with no little
difficulty rescued all hands ,
La Champagne experienced strong head
winds up to February 17 , when the tall-em
shaft gave way. When the accident oc
ciirred , the best of order ptcvnlled. The
steamer was perfectly tight and not making
any water. The passengers , on being In
formed of the accident to the machinery
were perfectly calm and the best of order
prevailed.

Certainly If guilt Is brought to the door of
Spain full retributive. Justice 'should be the
order of the day. Liberal Indemnity , apolo
gies and full repiratlou ought to be preferable -
able to the legislators than that course
which would1 entail the countryMtv the con

The attitude oC the ( administration Is
worthy of this grout nation. Scares and
rumori of war do not miovc It. It a.-.valts
the necessity of 'war ' , meanwhile making

country Into a needless conflict. Should the

do it with the sumii love for peace , the same

KANSAS CITV , Mo. .Feb. 2C , The Star
says : The railroads In the Transmlssouri and
Southwestern freight bureaus have saved
notlco that ou April 1 the privilege of feedIng -
Ing cattle In transit to this market \\I11 bo
cut oft In the stoto of Kansas. Shippers are
up In arms over the notlco and arc com
bining every Influence to prevent the iiill-
roads from putting the obnoxious order Into
effect. The contemplated move of the rail
roads Is a more serious menace to shippers
; han the wiping out of the carload rates ou
live stock shipments.
Ono of the worst features of the cutting
off of the live stock feeding privileges by the
rallronds Is that It does not apply to tlio
state of Nebraska. Omaha has enjoyed the
benefits of Hie feeding privilege In common
with Kansas City , and according to the ac
tion of the railroads Is to enjoy the privilege
exclusively for the future. The movement
s calculated to benefit Oinalm .IB a llvo
stock market at tlio expense of Kansas City.
Shippers will send fattened cattle to that
narkct instead of to Kansas City If the rall-
oads concede the feuding in trcmrlt prlvl-
ege. It Is practically a rate discrimination
against this market , and the railroad com-
iiissloners of Kansas and the courts will un
doubtedly be appealed to to prevent It from
going Into effect.
The railroads defend their action on the
ground that the feeding privilege has boon
greatly abused and has icsulted In vicious
iractlces In the way of celling expense bills.
t Is alleged that shippers who were not en-
Itled to the rate thought the expense bills
nnd thus were enabled to ship cattle Into
Kansas City nt the rate of $10 a car.
