THE CUBAN SITUATION.
Feb. 23. The Nashville and Texas
have been ordered to join the North
Atlantic squadron at Tortngas.
Consul General Lee informally ndvised
Americans not necessarily detained at
Havana to leave for home nt once. In
the event of sudden trouble, it would be
impossible to protect women and chil
dren. Feb. 24. The utmost excitement pre
vails at Havana. Something of the
utmost importance has transpired at the
investigation, but, outside of members
of the court of inquiry and Consul Gen
eral Lee nobody knows for certain
what it is.
Not three American women are left in
Havana.
The Maine was anchored at bnoy ,,
where the Spanish torpedo transmit had
been operated but a few hours tofore,
and the new development is generally
supposed to have reference to that fact.
The divers found a score of sailors who
had been drowned in their hammocks.
A battle today near Candelaria be
tween the Spaniards and the insurgents
cost the former two officers and nine
soldiers.
The monitor Terror left Norfolk at
10:15, under sealed orders, but will cruise
near Hampton Roads at least a short
time.
The Cherokee Indians have offered to
raise a regiment in the event of war
with Spain.
Nine out of ten of the officers at the
department express the belief that the
Maine was anchored over a submarine
mine. If the Spanish officers allowed
the American warship to le moored to a
bnoy which was attached to a submarine
mine they thereby became responsible
for the result.
The available war force in California
is authoritatively reported at 210,000 men.
On this date the government was ad
vised that a torpedo was towed against
the Maine and exploded.
The theory of accident lias been aban
doned, and the question is. how much
indemnity to ask.
Every preparation is lieing made for
war.
The senate adopts resolutions looking
to the construction of n new battle ship
to be equal, at least, to any now afloat,
and to be named the George Washington.
The monitor Terror was ordered to
New York as additional protection.
A bill was introduced in the senate for
twenty new torpedo boats.
The house committee on naval affairs
agrees on a bill for the relief of the fam
ilies of the Maine's victims.
Financial circles and nil men of busi
ness in Spain object to the sale of Cuba,
because, they say, even if $400,000,000
were offered, that sum would not suffice
to cover the Cuban debt, which already
exceeds $500,000,000 and is growing at
the rate of eight or ten million monthly.
The things that come up from the
wreck of the Maine and the places they
come from are telling the story.
The board of investigation is preparing
the big wrecking tug "Right Arm," so
that Captain Magee can proceed to lift
portions of tho wreck. Its cranes are of
fifteen tons capacity, but they can raise
the twenty-five ton guns by means of a
massive anchor chain.
The men of the Maine were sleeping
on the berth deck, with metal floors and
ceilings, which, by the force of the ter
rible explosion, were ground together
into a confused mass. Knowing this
there is little hope that many of the
bodies still missing will be found, or if
found, that they will be iu a condition
to be brought to the United States.
The appropriation of $50,000 made by
congress to aid the work of the naval
militia will lie apportioned among the
states in a few days.
One thing seetiiB certain, if the Maine
was blowed up by an outside agency,
the agent was a mine and not a torpedo.
as no torpedo known could have produc
ed snch tremendous results.
Felt. 25. The Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XII has been towed to a bnoy further
within the harbor at Havana to make
room for the Vizcaya, expected daily.
There is no longer any reason to doubt
that the explosion which wrecked the
Maine came from underneath the vessel,
and that its magazines had nothing to do
with the initial explosion.
A special dispatch from Washington ,
nnder date of Feb. 27, sums up the war I
situation as follows: President McKin-
ley says our honor is first. Will notj
flinch from going to war if he considers
that course justified. Proposes the set
tlement of Maine unestion shall accord
I with American ideas of justice. He is
said to distrust Spain. While awaiting

will assist. Secretary Long's request
for additions to the army and navy will
undoubtedly be granted.

(Copyright, 1S9S. by Xv York Journal.)
Havana (via Key West), March 1.
The situation has reached the acute
stage. The expectation of the early ar
rival of the Vizcaya has put the intran
sigeante Spaniards upon their mettle.
The Weylerites are now on a wire edge.
As hour after hour goes by the appre
hension of the Americans increases
with the growth of the insolence and
bitterness of anti-American feeling.
Lee has openly advised a number of his
countrymen to send their wives and
children out of the islaud, aud is him
self fearful of an outbreak within 24
hours.
The celebration of tho Weylerites,
which was postponed from Sunday, is
scheduled at the arrival of the Vizcaya
and when she comes it will hardly be
possible to control Weyler's adherents.
Blanco is himself making all prepara
tions to keep the opposition element iu
check and has warned the papers not to
publish any articles or paragraphs that
will tend to influence popular preju
dices. Any outbreak is liable to be directed
agaihst the autonomist newspapers as
well as against the members of the
Blanco party and the Americans. Dr.
Brnnner said to au American who
called on him :
"The expected outbreak may come at
any time. It may bo six minutes or
six hours off. Its beginning may be
coincident with the arrival of the Viz
caya. For flays past the Spaniards
have talked of nothing else. She means
for them a visible demonstration of
power and force and, as they believe
her invincible, they are correspondingly
contemptuous of our American navy.
The arrival of the Vizcaya is likely to
be the torch that will inflame Havana."
Another Spanish transport with about
2,000 troops has arrived and these will
be at once sent to the priucipe castle to
be at hand to aid Blanco suppress the
uprising. Popular sentiment is still in
fluenced by the gala aspect of the city.
The cheap Spaniards, the creature of
the Bodega and Dive cafe, even the
larger merchants, many of them officers
in the volunteers, now openly boast of
the sinking of the Maiue.
"Yes, we sunk the rotten ship," they
proclaim with vicious pride. "What
will be done about it? It was our first
battle with the United States and we
won it without the loss of a man."
A number or Americans from tugs
and vessels were warned to keep on
board their decks as much as passible.
The general impression is one of gloom
and depression among the members of
the American colony. They are living
on the edge and know it.

The orders came from Long iu

public pulse aud the probability of riot

Kansas City, March 1. The entire

Decision on Bequest.
Washington, March 1. The United
States supreme court today decided a
controversy over a bequest of property
to the Smithsonian Institute, and in do
ing so, decided a mooted point over tho
right of a husband to devise property
held as a trust iu his wife's name. In
this case Robert S. Avery of Washing
ton, after giving in his will $1,000 to
the relatives of his wife, whose death
had occurred before his, left the residue
of his property to the Smithsonian for
the establishment of a fund for the pro
motion of knowledge in regard to pho
netic type. The principal part of this
property was a lot of land in Washing
ton in Mrs. Avery's name and the will
was attacked on the ground that he
could not dispose of property whose
title was in his wife's name. The
court in the opinion handed down to
day, did not sustaiu this view, bnt held
that where it was clear that the title
wa3 placed in the wife as a trust, even
though the agreement was a verbal
one, the husband did not lose control of
it and could himself bequeath it,
whereas in this case he survived his
wife.
One of the provisions of the will was
to the effect that if the bequest to tho
Smithsonian was attacked by the other
beneficiaries they should thus forfeit
the bounty intended for them.
The court also pronounced this part
of the will valid. The decision of the
District of Columbia court of appeals
was adverse to the Smithsonian and
was reversed by today's opinion.
Important Land Decision.
Washington, March 1. The United
States supreme court has decided that
a United States official could not take
advantage of his office to secure advan
tage over others iu the location of gov
ernment land. The opinion was ren
dered by Justice White and was given
in the case of Ransom Payne, who was
a deputy United States marshal in Ok
lahoma and ou the ground when the
lands of that territory were thrown
open to settlement. He took advantage
of this opportunity to locate a tract of
land. The secretary of the interior re
fused to issue a patent on the ground
that Mr. Payne could not with propriety
take advantage of his official position
to make a location and that therefore
his location was illegally made.
Klglit Hour Law Snstained.
Washington, March 1. In the sn
preme court today an opiuion was
handed down in the case of E. F. Hoi
den, vs. the Sheriff of Salt Lake county,
Utah, involving the constitutional
ity of tho territorial law fixing a day's
work in smelters and mines in the terri
tory at eight hours. Holden was ar
rested for violating the law aud sen
tenced to imprisonment for the offense.
He brought the case to the supreme
court in au effort to secure a writ of er
ror on the ground that the law was un
constitutional in that it was calculated
to deprive a citizen of life or property
without due process of law. Tho
court held that such was uot the case,
but that the law was an exercise of the
state's police powers.

such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their

strated that nine-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician's attention
at all. The simple, pure

taken In the privacy of a woman's
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re
quires no humiliating examina

disease that comes under the head
cf "female troubles" disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
"whites," change of life. It makes
women beautiful by making them
well. It keep3 them young by
keeping them healthy. $1.00 at
