menfs In favor of the theory ot an Interior
explosion on the Maine , points to tbo fact
that the catastrophe caused no destruction
of fish , and the breachesIntho hull all show
that the force bt the explosion was from the
Inside , twisting the plates ; outward. ( No
cqlumn of water or other disturbance on the
surface of the bay of Havana was noticed
after the occurrence , as would have been
the case otherwise. The Madrid press re
flects the general Impression that the argu
ments of the 'Spanish report are conclusive.
Nothing has yet transpired about the Amer
ican report ofndally. Doth the Correo and
Correspondence show- much 111 humor
against the United States. Doth admit the
( Maine question Is not so serious a feature
a the remainder of the American note of
representation , and state that Spain can gene
no further In concessions to the United
States.
HOPE TXMl HELP. . -
Much disposition still exists In the press
and the governing classes to expect moral
and material assistance from the European
powers If war or a serious conflict arises. In
court circles Germany and Austria are said
to bo willing to Interpose when the oppor
tunity comes , and probably the Madrid for
eign office will place a review of the whole
Spanish case and the relations between
Spain and the United States before Europe
and the American republcs In the rfhapo of a
memorandum or official circular to Spanish
representatives abroad.

"Autonomy being the political policy de
manded by the Cubana and given by Spain
must necessarily prove a complete success
or there la no such thing as logic. Only
those who see In autonomy an obstacle to
their Illegitimate ambitions doubt Its of-
clency. Autonomy la more popular now
thun ever among Cubans who love their
country and want to see her prosperous and
quiet. They are persuaded that If auton
omy should fall It would lose their native
country. That would be the deepest and
most painful wound which could be In
flicted upon them. Those In whose veins
flows SpanUh blood hate a foreign grip. I
hear In my office dally satisfaction ex
pressed by those who make the same appli
cation , not only because they are satisfied
aa completely a * a provisional government
can afford them satisfaction , but became
they have assurance that when the new re
gime is fully established It will amply eat-
Isfy all rational demands.

"The seriousness of my character does

district attorney , returned from Washington
today.
"I do not now see , " bo declared , "how war
la to be avoided. No ono who realizes the
terrible effects ot war wants war for war's
fake , yet uo one who respects the honor ot
his country would have It tarnished to avoid
war. One thins Is certain , the American
people are determined that the Spanish gov
ernment shall not much longer starve the
defenseless Cubans. That la settled. "
"It was reported here that the president
Is breaking down , cud is on tbo point ot a
nervous collapse. "
To thlo suggestion Major Waror re
sponded : "I eaw the president three times
while In Washington. As to his being ex
cited and worn out , It Is all bosh. There U
no cooler man In Washlngtcu. today than
President McKlnley , I nsver saw him look-
Jag bettor , and anyone who talks to him on
tbo Cuban matter will como away satisfied
that the nation's honor la cafe In his blue's.
He will not necessarily rush the nation Into

who will shrink from It less than he It U

DISCUSS NAVAL LVPPIlOPniATIONS.
All Attempt * to Amend the Illll Are
Voted Down.
WASHINGTON , March 26. During the
debate on the naval appropriation bill today
In the house every utterance for aggretulvo
action against Spain was applauded to the
echo by the crowded gallerlc.3. A strong
effort was made to Increase the appropria
tion for the naval reserves , but It failed. Another -
other effort to have the government buy
clolhlng for the naval mllltis also failed.
The main contest of the day was over a
proposition to decrease the number of tim
ber dry docks authorized by the bill from
four to three. It was led by Mr. Cannon ,
chairman of the appropriations committee ,
who made the motion to discuss the whole
question ot war preparations and to Inveigh
against undue extravagance. He was voted
down 78 to 107.
No point of order was' made agaliut the
proposed timber docks , but Mr. Cannon gave
notice that he would raise a point against
the proposed steel dock at Algiers , La. , on
the ground that a dock noce&iarlly Involved
In the future the establishment of a navy
yard.There
There was some further discussion of the
relative merits of large battleships and
smaller war craft , In which the temper of the
house teemed almost equally divided , but
the paragraphs relating to the ships bad not
beep reached when the hbuse adjourned.
A special notice was sent to all
the republican members of the douse
tbti morning to be In their seats at
noon today. The leaders had decided
to bring In a special rule to bring
the naval appropriation bill to a vote If the
filibustering ot yesterday was to bo re
sumed , but as the democrats gave assurances
that the obstruction would not be continued
the plan ot bringing in a rule w aban
doned.
Before the arrangement was approved
Mr. Bailey ( Jem. ) called attention to
what he thought was an abuse of the privil
ege to print a personal explanation given to
Mr. Pearson ( rep. , N. C. ) Mr. Pearson had ,
he said , been accused cf abusing the frankIng -
Ing privilege of tbo house , and under leave to
print had made the very matter frankable
which ha had been accused of Improperly
franking.
Mr. Pearion maintained that he had not
abused the privilege granted him. He called
attention to the fact that some of the matter
printed was from a paper In which W. J.
Bryan was Interested ,
"Do you object to what "William Jennings
Bryan says ? " he caked , smiling. "I am In
clined to endorse anything Mr , Bryan says
at 'this ' time. " ( Democratic applause. )

It foems from communications rccsIvcJ by

previous notices from General P. H. Darry ,
secretary of the commission , through the
preso and by circulars , requesting the ap
pointment of committees by the mayors uf
the cltlei r.ilil villages , and the co-operation
of ministers , that a misunderstanding exists

Following Is a copy of a letter recently

NEW YOniC. March 13.-Gcnera ] P. H.

Lincoln. Neb. : Dear Sir We nre much
gratified to get your letter of the 12th Inst. .
to the effect tlmt you tire likely to secure
for us live or six additional carloads of
shelled corn , nom that we. have secured for
you free tnui nortatlon. We nre pirtlcu-
larly glad of this because < we have Just been
cabled by , Mr. Klopsch , a member of this
committee In Havana , asking us to send
Immediately 500 tons of kiln-dried cornme.il.
We have trmdo nrrnngomenis here with
prominent millers whereby we can exchange
shelled corn for meal , the me.il being de
livered to us upon receipt of bills of lading
oven be for ; tlm grain arrives. This request
for COO tons comes from Havana. If that
quantity lg nec < led In that city and prov
ince alone , vo f&el that 2,000 ton * or more
must be needed for the several other prov
inces , where destitution Is represented as
being worse than In Havana.
It Is more than probable that we. shall

The desire was expressed by the Sixth
Ward Republican club last night to be among
the first organizations to manifest Its allegi
ance to the administration end to pledge Its
support In war or peace to the government.
The meeting was held In Idlewlld hall and
was attended by a good representation of
nortrujtde citizens. At the Invitation of the
club a number of well known speakers were
present and the resolutions presented were
endorsed In speeches by Judge Fawcett and
Charles J. Greene , as well as" a number of
the club members.
The resolution Introduced was headed by
a preamble citing the cruelty and Inhumanity
of Spain In the present and past and holding
that government responsible for the de
struction of llfo and property on the
Maine. It concluded as follows :
Rceolved , That we most heartily com
mend the attitude and the- actions of the
president of the United States , the wise ,
prudent and patriotic William McKlnloy ,
In all that he has done thus far In this
perplexing and crucial period In our his
tory , and that we heartily endorse his ef
forts to secure a peaceable solution of the
Cuban problem and ihls manifest determi
nation to defend the honor and Integrity of
the nation ; nnd that we , the members of
this Sixth Ward Republican club , hereby
pledge ourselves to s-upport the president
of the United States In every act which
may become necessary to put an end to the
Inhuman tyranny nnd shameful cruelty
which the Bpanlsi Government Is now exer
cising over the Island of Cuba , and that we
Individually and collectively stand ready to
offer any assistance wo may bs able to
render la a speedy and satisfactory settle
ment of this great dlfllculty , whether it bo
through peaceful negotiations or by force
of arms. <
President Hei&ert Leavltt presented Judge
Fawcett. who expressed his approval of the
resolution and hto confidence In the Judg
ment of the administration. "We are called
here by moro than the usual spirit which
actuates the beginning of a fall campaign , "
eald Judge Fawcett , "and the uaual Issues
are largely lost sight of In more Immediate
aad Importtnt questions. Ita \ my belief
that the national honor Is In wise , patient
and safe hando , and that whatever course
shall eeem best to those whose authority
and knowledge arc greater than ours will bo
pursued to a successful and creditable ter
mination.
"In a former tlmo when the natlca was
threatened with war the republican party
steered the ship of state through dangers
with a strong and oklllful hand cad I be-
llevo that it Is powerful enough and willing
enough to do It again. There are no team
In my mind for the future , rr.d I know that
when the time comes for action of whatever
tort , President McKlnley gad his advisers
will Justify our belief in them. At that hour
r party lines will bo considered and from
tbo expressions of representatives of all par
ties the administration will nnd behind It
republicanism and democracy , the north and
south , cs coe man. "
John L. Webster spoke earnestly of the
want and misery prevailing In Cuba.
The resolution was also upheld In strong
terms by Charles J. Greene , who expressed
the belief that the methods pursued In Cuba
were a weight upon the conscience of every
American citizen. "I endorse the resolution , "
he said , "and above that I am for God and
humanity. I bellevo tlmt It Is a duty ol a
Christian people to aid a bsud of patriots
who are struggling for liberty In the grasp
of a raerclleou tyranny. When our fathers
ibullt this republic they laid the cornerstone
upon the principle of human brotherhood
< nd tbo rights of men. This fair Island , al
most in eight of our shores , has been given
over to slaughter end rapine for four yeara.
When the force of arma has not overcome
the men starvation boa been tried upon the
women and children. After the heroic strug
gle that thcso patriot ? have made I bellevo
that It preeacs upon tbo conscience of every
American that Cuba muit and Khali bo free. "
Colonel Hayes then expressed hla oplnlcu
In a plain-spoken way that Spain had re
moved Itself beyond the pale of civilization
iby a long course of barbarities and that the
only possible treatment of the situation
mu-.it be war. He salt ] that ho bad witnessed
the beginning and cnj of two wais In Amer
ica and was read } and willing to witness
another one In eo worthy a cause.
He was followed by Messrs. Waring.
Melklo anJ Qlllan , the latter the Introducer
of the resolution advising Immediate Inter
ference ! n behalf of Cuba.
To Humanitarian * uf Uuialin.

"Catarrh of the stomach , for years , broke
mo down In health so that I was barely able
to fill my position with the railway can-
paay. My etomach seemed to bo dead.
There was acarcc-ly any digestive action , no
matter how slinplo I rnado my diet. I ex
hausted every effort to find food that would
strengthen mo without producing dl.itrosg.
There appeared to be a complete lack of the
secretions which convert ths food Into uour-
Ichment and' strength. So much fermenta
tion , gaa , boltdlng and bloating followed
rating that 1 was practically In a half-
starved condition. I am able to cay that a
course of treatment with Dr. Shepard en

the affected parts , cad iny digestion la as

Lecture nt Haiiwoni Pnrk McthodUt
Church iMUt NlKlit.
Edward P. FllcTi was greeted by a largo
audience last night at Hanscom. Park Metho
dist church. No subject for a lecture couli !
be more Interesting at present than "Cuba , "
and the handsome views whlcb were eh own
tn connection with Mr. Fitch's lecture made
it doubly entertaining. A map of Cuba was
shown first and Immediately after It a flag
of the Insurgents bearing the words "Cuba
Libre. " This flag wa received with repeated
rounds of applause and throughout the entire
evening the audience expressed Its oympathy
with the struggling Cubans. Pictures of King
Alpliceiso and the queen regent were next
thrown upon the canvas , end Mr. Fitch ex
pressed the opinion that neither tbo boy king
nor his mother knew the truth cancernlng
the condition of their provinces , but wer
led about by a scheming cabinet. A short
history of Spain's treatment ot Cuba during
the last century followed and pictured of the
leading generals who have had control of the
Island during the last few years were fchown.
At this point the speaker denounced Wcyler
as the mo.it cruel butcher who over engaged
In the slaughter of women and children.
After a number of views showing the
beautiful forks and streets ot Hav w and
other Cuban cities , pictures of Senator Thurs-
ton and til * lamented wife appeared and were
fcllowed by pictures Illustrative of the terri
ble scenes of want and starvation which Sena
tor Tliurston described In the senate. Mr.
Fitch said that ho hesitated to < ? ho\v such
apralllng tilings , and that they had formerly
boon considered the creations of Imaginative *
correspondents , but that wo now know that
the newspaper writers tiad not pictured con
ditions as bad as they really were. Spain ,
the speaker said , has driven these rcconccn-
trade3 Into the cities and is systematically
starving them within a few miles of our coast.
Clara Barton reports that the Spanlih officers
have stolen supplies sent to her to feed these
unfortunates. Everything possible U being
done to prevent provisions from reaching In
nocent women and children who have fallen
under ine disfavor of Spanish authorltle .
The concluding views were of hlp * of the
American and SpanUh navies , including the
Ill-fated Maine at It lies a niais of twisted
Iron in Havana liarbcc , a monument to 300
bravo American olflecw and salloro.

Is a foregonp conclusion. The only reascci

The War for the Union.
OMAHA. March 25. To the Editor of The
Bee : Please answer In The Dee the following
question : Was the civil war a war for the
preservation of the union or for the eman
cipation of the slaves ? SUBSCRIBER
Answer. There ia no doubt that the civil
war was a war for the restoration and pres
ervation of the union and not a war of eman
cipation. The destruction of slavery was an
incident of the war and emancipation was
a war measure forced upon the defenders
or the union In order to achieve the sup
pression of the rebellion. These are historic
facts and those who teach the contrary are
either Ignorant of the subject or seek to
misinterpret sentiment 'Into history.
