The romnrk came to the ears of Com-

the principal part. Over 100 arrests
were made during the disturbances.
Among the persons' taken into .custody,
in addition to Baron Sangarren, were

Washington, April 8. Representa
tive Lorimer (Ills.) is authority for the
statement that General Leo will make
startling disclosures before the
senate committee regarding the con
spiracy to blow up the Maine.
It is said- the information General
Lee is expc.Id to testify to, relates to
tho extinguishment of tho.electriclights
in Havana at the instant of the blow
ing up of the Maine., Electrical experts
have said that if the lights went out in
Havana at the time of the explosion it
would be conclusive evidence that tho
mine under the Maine must, have been
fired from a shore electrical connection.
Captain Sigebeo before the foreign rela
tions committee said he had informa
tion that the lights had gone, out, bat
did not think it advisable to give the
name of his informant while he was in
Cuba. His informant is said to be Gen
eral Lee.
Sharp War Talk Ia tke Sesate.
WASim'OTON, April 8. Some sharp
war talk was indulged iu by the senate
Thursday. When consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation bill was re
sumed, the question pending, was the
amendment of PeUus (Ala.), providing
for such improvement of the harbor at
Mobile as would enable war vessels to
obtain coal and other supplies there.
Allison (la.), in charge of the bill, made
a point of order against the amendment.
This called out a bitter speech by Mor
gan (Ala.), who charged the appropri
ations committee with discriminating
against proper measures and threatened
to assist in dissolving the committee.
He-followed with an argument show
ing; the necessity for the improvement
proposed, holding that it would open to
the government in time of war the
coal fields of the south and enable it
suecessfally to fight the treasonable
monopoly that had been formed to con
trol the coal supply of the country in
the event of war. The amendment
was lost.
At 2 o'clock the bill had not been
completed and -was laid, aside, the sear
ate devoting the remainder of the after
noon to eulogies of the late Senator
George of MississiDpL
Mrs. Ursula Paahaai. of Stetersvflla. Tvier

condition.
The point at which the
curred is some five miles ahava

is four miles distant. The

is believed the softening of the
