WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.—Undoubt
edly there isaqu'eter feeling manifest
ed at the navy department over the
Maine affair as time passes. This is
the tenth day since the war ship was
destroyed, but the officers are 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 tile premature dis
closure of tne proceedings. Therefore
the published statement that the ex
plosion has been demonstrated to be of
exterior origin by the discovery of the i
upheaved double bottom of the Maine I
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 i
any one who came near the wreck in
case it is true.
Captain Cronlnshield turned up at

all of the Maine matters that have
fallen upon the navigation bureau,
and of the newspaper men for the pa

has met their nianv inquiries.

for it was known that he had arrived
in Tamos on the Montgomery from the
West Indies. The officer himself was

the Maine affair:
‘’In my opinion, we shourd be slow
tw act in the Maine affair, especially
under the trying circumstances which
confronts us.” he said. “Another fact
which in my mind impels us to exer
cise discretion, is that the official in
vestigation of the explosion is now
being made. The United States can
not afford to be too hastv in this mat
ter. International questions are in
volved and it would be a sad compli

strained relations to* our anxietv to
locate the responsibility of the Maine
disaster. Nothing should be done until

CHICAGO, Feb. 26—H. H. Kohlsaat.,
who is very close to President McKin
ley, publishes the following in the
Chicago Evening Poet:
"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 c.f 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 Maine, from Captain samp
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 pettv 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
fereboddings of war from New York
ar'1 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 he has not
mads public. H; v'ill not withhold any
information when he gets it. He has
not come to anv conclusion as to
whether it was caused by an internal
or external explosion.
"When he receives the report of the
court of inquiry he will know the facts,
which he will make public, with his
conclusions and policy.”
CHICAGO. Feb. 26.—A special dis
patch to the Chi; ago Tribune qnoteg
President MeKInlev as speaking as fol
lows to a senator who called upon him
yesterday:
“It do not nropo'c to do anvthing at
all to precipitate war with Spain. Uo
to the present, I lo not think war is
either necessarv >r inevitable. I would
be lax in mv duty, however, if I did
not prepare for the future. The situ
ation is grave, and the policy of the
administration will be determined al
most entirely by the course of events
from time to time There is no neces
sity of alarming the people, but co»
gress must be ready to assist the ad
ministration without making too many
lnoulries as to the course or current
events.”
The dispatch to the Tribune con
tinues;
“The president and his cabinet unite
in the belief still, in suite of all evi
dence in the contrary, that the explos
ion of the Maine was the result of an
unfortunate accident, but they recog
nize the fact that the contrary mev
prove, true at almost any hour, and
that, if it, is shown even inferentiallv
that Puain bed a hand in the catastro
phe, there will he hut one ihion- to do.
and that will be to sei-m the island of
Cuba by force of arms."
Indians Preparing an Outbreak.
CHADRON, Nob.. Feb. 26.—No little
excitement was caused here yesterday
when it was rumored that the Indians
at Pine Ridge 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 Lreas.t.
of the warriors, caused by the repor.s
that in case of war with Spain the
troops would be taken from Fort Rob
inson, and that then would be a good
time to make demands for more 1a
tions frjm Uncle Sam.
The half-breed, whose name is Fell,
stated that while hunting for sore
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 (hey were in secret
council, preparing for trouble, as sev
eral of their chiefs were making
speeches, which were rheerd by the
brr.ves.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—In view of
the report that the harbor of Havana
contained a system of submarine
mines, a statement: around which has
centered the chief publ’c interest in
connection with the battleship Mai-e,
Senor du Bose, Spanish charge d’af
fairs at-- Washington, makes th s
statement, which, coming from such
authority, may be considered as offi
cial denial:
1 wish to state on my own official
knowledge that no mine exists inside
or outside of Havana harbor, nor is
there any submarine defense of any
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 ineu'.t
to Spain.

The FuUneas Thereof.
Amid the discomforts of life and the
fullness therof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
so much. From big pains to little
aches, which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure of man, there
are always remedies good, better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu
matism, neuralgia, sciatica or lum
bago, or with the minor ailments of
sprains and bruises, or of soreness and
stiffness, the efficacy of St. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof in so many
complete and perfect cures make it
stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should we stand on the
order of going for it, and not co at
once? In numberless cases the aggra
vations of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?
Why is it that a woman can never
throw anything straight but kisses?
