War News. , Yesterday, Cons ul General Lee sent a message to Pres. McKinley stating that all the Americans could not get safely out of Cuba before Sunday, and any action before that time would cause their massacre, hence the Presi dent's message to Congress was delayed until Monday. It is said the adminis tration and Congress are pledged to drive the Spaniards out of Cuba. The foreign ambassadors at Washington offer to mediate. Last Friday the House of Represen tatives passed an appropiatton to build three battleships, twelve torpedo boats and 12 torpedo boat destroyers. The bat tle ships will be about three years in building and cost $8,000,000 each. The total cost of the others will be about $4,- 500,000, and they will all be completed within a year. The Spanish flotilla, consisting of six to:; edo boats and seven torpedo boat de-'.royers and a guarding cruiser, ar rived nt Porto Rico Friday, five days earlier ' iian expected having made re m>-ir>iy quick time in crossing the or'-, n The torpedo boats are useless , in •: fight on the rough and open sea. , week the U. S. Government 1 bought another armored twinscrew cruiser of English builders. It carries 1 six large and ten small rapid-fire guns. Monday ten new steamships were bought to be used as auxiliary cruisers. 1 Work on fortifications and submarine mines is being rushed at harbors all 1 along the cost. The U. S. Govern ment has cornered all the coal that will come into port at St. Tbamas, West In dies, for the next two months. Let European powers and potentates keep their fingers out of our affairs with Spain and Cnha. The United Sta tes has always been able to attend to her own troubles: Havana Harbor was Full of Mines. Details have been obtained at London of the manfacture of submarine mines in London for Spain, which was first brought to the attention of the United States embassy and cabled to America on March 5. A man whose cards de scribe him as being an electrical engi neer, and whose name was forwarded at the time to Washington, then said he sold two Spanish officials in London sevsral years ago a large number of mines, eight or ten of which were plac ed in Havanna harbor. He said they were made in a special way, had a speci ally constructed cable, which he can indentify, if the smallest jiiece is pro dnced, and he added that some of the mines were fixed so that they could be fired from a fort, while two of them had bulbs so arranged that they would explode upon a vessel coming into con tact with them. The man added, however, that he did not believe the bulbs would be used in water so shallow as that of Havana har bar. Finally, the man exhibited plans of one of these mines which he said was the most lkely to produce the effect des cribed as causing the wreck of the Maine. It was numbered "2" and was constructed to contain 500 pounds of gun cotton. Lieutenant Commander J. C. Col well, the United States naval attache, has since investigated the matter, and has made a report on the subject to the United States Government. The facts learned strongly tend to show that Ha vana harbor was mined, and they un questionably prove that Spain purchas ed the mines for that purpose. The firm of Lattimer, Rhodes & Clark, elec trical engineers during 1887-88, filled a large order for Spain of a lot of mines, in which were used fourteen and a half tons of gun cotton. Tbe work was directly under the sur veillance of General Fernandez and Captain Bustamento. The latter was then the head of the Spanish torpedo school. By order of these officers the mines were divided into four consign ments, for Havana, Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartagena. The mints were inanfac tured nnder the direction of J. B. Gib bons' patents, which are described in Siemens book on torpedoes and mines. Gibbons, from whom a representative of the Associated Press obtains the in formation, and who fnrnished to Lieu tenant Commander Col well a written statement of the above facts and outlin ed his theory of the explosion which wrecked the Maine, was then employed by the firm as superintendent of the tor pedo department. He also says a sim lar lot of torpedoes was inanfactured for Spain in 18' JO. The manager of the Westminster En gineering Company, which is tbe suc cessor of the aforementioned firm and with which Gibbons is connected, con firms the latter's statement as to the manfacture of mines for Spaiu. Gib lxras who is a former Sergeant of Engi neers Hiid a government inspector of torpedoes, believed the Maine's first ex plosion was caused by what is techni cally called a ground mine, containing 500 pounds of gun cotton, several of which were inanfactured for Spain. He has experimented with these mines largely at Portsmouth, and says that, once laid, they retain their prop erties for fifty years. In addition, Gio lions asserts that it is absolutely impos si Me for them to explode accidentally as the electric currents for their explosion are formed only by the manipulation of a complicated keyboard especially devised to accidents. Three keys are necessary, which are always kept in the iKissession of different offi cers. and even if an outsider obtained possession of them it would Is- iinpossi Lie to manipulate the key board with out instructions. Gibbons further says the mines and their connecting cables are numbered, an'l h" asserts he would la; able to iden tify them if any part is secured. A Washington special says: Accord ing to the naval and other experts vho have studied the report of the Court of Inqnirv, the submarine mine which de stroyed the Maine and killed 2f!rt Amer ican sailors must have been manfactur ed, planted and fired by wrwns con nected with the Spanish Government. The Senate Committee before which Captain Sigsbee appeared will report on this subject. The story is'that our Gov eminent was informed within 48 hours after the explosion that it was the resu t of a submarine mine laid by the Span ish < iovernment and controlled by its agents. The gratest precautions had been made aboard the Maine from the mom ent of her arrival in the harbor of Hav anna nntil the night of February 1". to prevent anybody from launching a tor pedo nnder the battleship. It is said that Captain Sigsbee had information which led him to snspect that foul plav would be attempted. He sent Lieuten ant Jenkins on a secret mission to in quire into it. and that officer, now dead, is said to have learned some startling things. HAKRISBIRG. The Pennsylvania railroad company made its settlements of I*o7 of tax on capital stoek and funded debt to Audit or General last week, and sent a voucher in payment of taxes on capi tal stock. The amount taxable is S2O, - 858,868.60. Governor Hastings and party have returned from their trip to California. They are all well, and much pleased with their trip to the golden gate. George D. Thorn, chief clerk of the state department, was chosen jastcrdny to succeed the late Wilson M. Gearhart as clerk to the pardon board. The Superior Court has handed down an opinion that will settle for a time at least the vexed question of con stables' fees. In the case of m. Price, a constable, against the county of Lan caster, the questions raised were, first, can a constable legally claim circular mileage for executing a warrant and serving the subpoena, and, second, can he recover fifty cents for subpoenaing each witness. Judge Wick ham, who wrote the opinion in the case, decides that the plaintiff is only entitled to be paid mileage one way at the rate of ten cents a mile, and that for serving a sub poena the constable may, for each per son named in the process and actually served, legally charge fifty cents. Ihe Court says: "To hold that the officer should be given only the same fee in every case for serving the parties named in the subpoena would produce inequality and injustice and often subject him to the temptation to shirk the fnll perfor mance of his duty. Practically he serves the writ every time he reads it to a witness. The trouble and labor is the same as if he had a separate sub poena for each person named. This decision will not settle the mat ter for the case will be carried to the higher court. Insurance Commissioner Lambert continues to fight lxjgus insurance com panies and all those whose conditions are not what they should be must quit bnsiness. Representative Frank McLain, of Lancaster, announces that he is after the Speakership of the House aud is do ing considerable missionary work. Wilton M. Lindsay has been appoint ed by Governor Hastings to a judgeship in Warren county. Treasurer elect Beacom announces that he will retain nearly all the old employes of the office. Treasurer Hay wood will become his cashier. Senator McCarrell declares that he is, and will be to the end, a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, contrary to all reports that have been sent out. Fifty-five j»rominent da'irymen met at the board of trade rooms, last Thurs day afternoon, and organized a State Dairymen's association to protect the dairy interests of Pennsylvania through legislation. All promised active co operation. A constitution and by-laws were adopted and these officers elected: President, H. W. Comfort, Bucks; secretary, Harry Hay ward, State Col lege; treasurer, S. F. Barber, Harris burg; vice-president, Lewis Piolett, Bradford; P. E. Sharpless, Delaware; H. H Russell, Erie; E. L. McSparran, Lancaster; L. W. Moore, Susquehanna: dirtctors, J. I. Carter, Chester; J. S. Burns, Allegheny; J. C. McClintock, Crawford; T. S. Stull, Bradford; J. Kj Murray, Montour; J. G. Haldeman, Juniata. WASHINGTON. Pensions have lately been granted to Geo. W. Wolf, of Silverville, $H per month; Geo. P. Harvey, of Riddies X Roads, $8 per month; and W. V. Sea man, of Leota, $0 per month. C. G. Gray has been appointed P. M. at Petrolia. A inedal of honor for gallantry nt the battle of Sandy Cross Roads, N. C., in September, 1802, has been awarded to Frank W. Mills, of Chicora, Butler county. On Tuesday Rep. Shov/alter recom mended Will G. B.'issler for P. M at Zelienople. A Strange Proceed ing. A dispatch from Harrisburg, dated Tuesday, stated that despite the fact that Governor Hastings in 1805 vetoed an appropriation $28,000 to reprint the famous "Bird Book" prepared by Dr B. H. Warren, of Chester, a bold at tempt has benn made in the past year to reprint the book at the cost of $53,000 to the State. In 1806 the Department of Agricnl tnre published a bulletin entitled: "Diseases and Enemies of Poultry." An edition of 87,000 cost the State $4Hv.'M, or an average of 13 cents a copy. This bulletin was in such demand that on March 0, IHO7, the Legislature passed a joint resolution providing for the print ing of 15,000 more copies in pamphlet form, "with such additional matter aud changes as the author may deem neeeo sory to more fully explain this iuiport ant subject." Alxjut a month ago Thomas Bell Clark, Assistant Superintendent of Public Printing, noticed in the absence of his chief that this pamphet bad not yet been issued, and he began to make inquiries, the result of which was that he discovered that there was a great deal of fine color work in the way of lithographs being dor.o for the pamph let. On March 16, Mr. Beitler sent for Mi perintendent of Public Printing Robin son, and after a consultation, acting on the authority of the Governor, he or dered the work to stop at once. Mr. Beitler then wrote to Mr Robinson, r>- questing a statement as to how far the work had proceeded. In reply to this Mr. Bnsch wrote to Mr. Robinson, say ing that the press work was practically finished and the pamphlet is now wait ing binding, As a matter of fact the press work was not finished, for tta <ji,tire 80 pages of Mr. Pearson's part of the pamphlet were sent to him in proof after tie - work had been ordered to be stopped on it, and he was told to liurry it back to Harrisburg that it might be printed. This, however, was not done, as Mr. Beitler heard of the proof in Mr Pear son's hands, and he warned him by telephone not send it back. Mr. Pear son at once brought his uncorrected | proofs and manuscript tp Harrisburg and placed theui in Mr. Beitlnrs pos session. It may be remarked here that on the day that the worked was ordered stop tied on the alleged pamphlet, March 10, Dr. Warren sent in his resignation as Economic Zoologist to the Governor, on the ground thHt ha wag not in full acord with His Excellency's poiitiuai vi.'.-ws. Mr. Beitler then set aliout securing a copy of the unbound sheets, as far as printed. He was amazed at the size and scope of tbe work The original bulletin cover'd 11M pages, but the one as prepared by Drs. Warren and I'ear son would contain l.iMMi page* Making a little further inquiry. Mr. Beitler found that the State Printer's estimated total cost of this proposed edition wa> $53.200, or an average of #3.50 a copy, i The entire cost of the proposed edition is 109 times the cost of the original edition ! But if the people who were interested in stopping this production were amazed at the cost, they were more so when they came to examine the contents of | tho b )k. It was virtually a reprodnc-1 tion of the famous Bird Book, with the exception that the magnificent j colored lithographs of birds were not printed in groups, but each bird was , given a single page. The Governor said this afternoon i that, so long as he remains in office, he | will see to it that not one cent is paid j for anything but the original pamphlet . as authorized by the joint legislative , resolution. Secretary Edge this after noon sent to the present State Printer. Stanley Ray, the copy of the original pamphlet, with instructions to print it exactly as was intended in the first in stance" at a cost of 13 cents a copy. Wanamaker At Williainsport. ! A large audience turned out Tuesday night to greet John Wanamaker at the opera honse in Williainsport. Attorney General H. C. McCormick presided and m' le a rattling speech against M. S. Quay and the jieople in control of the State organization. Other speakers were Senator C. C. Kauffman, of Lan caster; Maj. Merrick, of Tioga, and Charles Heber Clark, of Conshohocken. Maj. Merrick created a sensation by ac cusing William A. Stone of having re ceived a fee of SIO,OOO form the State for collecting $8,400. Mr. McCormick said the members of the last Legislature, except the "seven ty six," misrepresented their constitu ents and obeyed the boss instead of the people; elected the man to the United States Senate thev were asked to elect by their master, and he depicted the man whom the people wanted. "The ownership of tne Legislature," he ad ded. "has been far-reaching in its re sults and always of the most baneful character. It" being known that the will of the master would prevail, the great corporate interests of the State bargain with him for protection and fabulous sums of money have been raised by this means to further his per sonal and political ambitions. The State Treasurer and Auditor General have for years been elected by Mr. Qnav. and they have always, been ready to do his " bidding. The moneys of tlie State have been deposited in such banks as would be resp<jusive to his demands, political or otherwise," Mr. McCormick condemned the new eapitol scheme and appealed to his friends to stand by Mr Wanamaker.

' ?£T HO fOS OUB SCHOOLS Thousands Orcet the Ex-Postmaster General In His Tour of the State, lie Tells Plain Facts, and tho Peo ple Are Wnklnsr T'p to the True Sit uation—Wanamaker's Vigorous Ar raignment of the Quay Gang. (From Our Own Correspondent.) j Harrisburg, April s.—Everywhere that [ ex-Postmaster General John Wanaruak -1 er speaks in his tour of the state he is > greeted by immense crowds. The peo- j | pie are eager to know the full measure | of opprobrium that should be heaped upon the tricksters and ringsters who have held the state by the throat for so long with one hand while they pil fered the treasury with the other. The recent failure of the People's bank and of the Guarantors' Trust company, also the Chestnut Street Na tional bank, have tied up nearly sl.- 000.000 of the people's money, and this fact has aroused indignation all over the state. While it is claimed by state officials that there is not money enough to pay the demands of the public school districts there is yet almost sl.- 000,030 of state treasury funds lying in unsafe banks, which break, and the people are the sufferers. HundreJs of people gathered at a great public meeting in Montgomery county, at Conshohocken, cn Saturday night last to hear Mr. Wanamaker. He dealt with this phase of official crook edness with unsparing hand. It was a fearless and convincing arraignment of the "gang." In the course of his address, lasting almost two hours. Mr. Wanamaker said: THE BANK CUASHES. The banks must supply a large part of the capital with which business is carried on in our citv. Often when credit is Jarred by unworthiness and bad management of affairs wages cease, because the banks lose faith and decline to lend their moneys to assist enterprise. At the present time the whole citv is aghast with the revela tions of the four bankrupt corporations that have struck two men dead and buried in confusion hosts of others. The taxes paid by you and others for your schools, charities and state main tenance have to nearly a million gone down In the wreck, only to be recovered by the assessment of derelict directors and trustful stockholders. One of the officers of the People's bank. Presi dent McManes, 'steps forward manfully and bravely to make good the state deposits. Why should he do that? Why he alone, as if he were at fault more than others and the only one able to pay for his own faults and others? But for him where would vou look tonight for your state money deposited In the People's bank? In referring to the conditions of peril for our state moneys when I spoke at Lancaster a week before the bank fail ed, I have been blamed bv some for precipitating this failure. Is it not high time we should be looking for the money that you paid in taxes that is scattered around in the favored de positories throughout the state, which by rights should not be there at all, but in the hands where it rightfully be ! longs, doing the good for which It was appropriated? CAUSE OP THE COLLAPSE. The cause of the collapse of these four banks and trust companies may be put down to scrofulous politics. Even the same political pull to drag In millions of taxpayers' money for the benefit of We, Us & Co., the favored of the state machine politics, was suf ficient. Nobody can make an empty bag stand up, is an old and true prov ' erb. The Guarantors' Finance company, though much younger in years, seem ingly possessed of the progressive spirit of the day, has accomplished in five years what it took the People's l bank more than a score of vears to do—namely, to empty its treasury and close its doois with more than half a million of dollars deficit. The intimate relations existing between these two Institutions, as shown by the disclos ures that have followed their failure. I should surpiise no one, as the same po f litlcal friendship, the same dangerou9 relations, the same baneful influences and the same daring men were the controlling power around and within > both institutions. How closely the ln -1 terests of the Guarantors' and the state political machine are allied is . shown by recalling a single incident , that occurred at the last session of the legislature, when, during one of the most critical periods In the nation's I 1 history a United States senator left his post at Washington and went to Har risburg, where, for a night and a day, j he lobbied to pass what was known as , ' the Infamous Guarantors' insurance j bill, which was intended to give this , insolvent company the right to amend i ! Its own charter by a vote of its direct j ors; to change its plan and classes of Insurance without authority of the ' state Insurance department, thereby I placing it beyond the Jurisdiction of the . | elate insurance officials, and making . I this particular company unanswerable to the protective insurance laws of the state. SUPPORT IN TIIE SENATE. From the speaker's room this United States senator directed the fight for the - Guarantors' bill. While the house was In session he Bumrroned members to him, and on political and personal . grounds urged them to vote for the Iniquitous measure. Every branch of I the state political machine, under his direction, was put In motion—requests, | promises and threats were freely used. But. notwithstanding all these, the Guarantors' bill, as it then was. that would have rendered it next to Impos sible to terminate the reckless business of this concern; that would have shielded the friends of the senator who are now in peril, was defeated by the efforts of the anti-Quay forces In the house, known as the Seventy-six. 1 The wrecking of the People's bank ! nnl the Guarantors' company elimi nates but two of the manv political flanets which revolve around the stat* ' treasury, as their solar center, In a constellation of dangerous agencies controlled to furnish the sinews of po litical warfare that aid to perpetuate f the Quiw machine. Could the veil of secrecy that has concealed the Inner workings of the state treasury for 20 yearH be torn aside; could the people see plied before them the millions of dollars of Interest money that has been lost to them; could they know the facts of the alleged reckless speculations un lawfully carried on by politicians with their money; could they realize that the political slavery In Pennsylvania today has its headwaters Iri a political and ; boss manipulated state treasury, they would then realize what has been the fountain head of Quaylsm and of the ptreams of corrupt pol|tlcf that have spread over our state. MACHINE MKTIIODS UNEARTHED. The oft repeated attempts to honestly Investigate the conduct of the state treasury have failed, and the almost constant suspicion and attack has found every avenue closed tliat might i lead to a knowledge of how the state ( money was being handled. Only once |n 20 years has a state treasurer been elected that Quay did not own po litically, ami but once in all these years have we had a glimpse of the methods |- employed. Samuel Butler was elected state treasurer in 1K79 as an antl-machlne ' man, and upon the examination of the accounts of State Treasurer Noyes, pre- I paratory to his taking office, he (Hut ler) found due bills, orders and worth less securities amounting, It Is alleged, » to several hundred thousand dollars, which he refused to receive as good assets. The story has been told in the New York Evening Post and several other metropolitan Journals, and never 1 yet has been denied, of how Quay, the f. political boss, and Cashier of the State Treasury Walters speculated In stocks with money belonging to the state '' treasury anil substituted pract|cally t worthless securities for cash they had used; of how the approaching time for j. Treasurer-elect Butler to take his seat rendered It necessary to make good u shortage of what Is commonly reported to be $300,000; of how an exposure was Imminent, when a friend came to the , rescue und raised the money. The de s tails of all this were known to but few until long after. Walters died by his pwn hand, and before he- died he wrote ' a letter telling all. Luring the administration of Hsnry ' K. Boyer, treasurer, now director of the mint, a threatened lnve§UK»tl9o forced his chief clerk to leave the cout, try and he is today a fugitive from Justice. Th state was saved from loss. It Is alleged, by the liberal contribu tions from corporations and Individ uals who have long since received their reward by favorable legislation se cured through the Influence of the ma chine. A FAKE INVESTIGATION. At the last session of the legislature to prevent an honest Investigation of the management of the state treasury a Quay committee was appointed to make a fake investigation, which it did. and reported the management for the past 20 years fauitess, and especial ly complimented the present official, and reported every dollar properly ac counted for. yet a few weeks later the notorious "indemnity bond" expose dis closed the fact that the state treasurer had unlawfully paid the money on the $25,000 padded payroll, and on the last night of the session the state treasurer and his friends were on the floor of the house appeairg to members to pass an appropriation bill for 110.000 to re imburse the treasurer for money un lawfully advanced, months before the appointment of the investigating com mittee, to Sergeant-at-Arms llarrah. Quay's confidential friend. Were I the state treasurer, with one uncertain prop between me and loss from a rational bar.k. known for a year and more to be in the quicksands and with one noble hearted but ill and aged man standing pathetically In the breach of the other trusted institution. I would be in haste to look after all the other moneys on deposit belonging to the state. I have by me no list of the places or amounts, or of the men responsible for their management, or to whom they have loaned the money, but I would surely and without delay at lea: t satisfy myself that I could get It when wanted: but the fact is I would not lose an hour in scattering it over the state to perform the mission for which it was collected. Pennsylva nia does not so much want interest on state deposits as she wants safety and straightforward dealing with all pub lic moneys. POLITICS AND BANKING. What a month Philadelphia has passed through—with its councilmanic clouds and broken banks. Unless the political machine and combination which makes these things possible can be smashed they will go on indefinitely, debauching the com munity and injuring honest trade by the shock to public confidence. Very pertinently the outside world is looking on and asking what Pennsyl vania is going to do about it. Listen to this brief word of the lead ing Republican paper of the United States, the Mew York Tribune: "Some Philadelphia people think that there is a chance to break down the vicious system under which the city has suffered for many years, and urge that this chance should be utilized to the utmost by following up the princi pals who furnish the bribe money and the political leaders in and out of office who act as their agents, anu by their control of conventions prepare the way for corrupt rule. They are undoubted ly right in their understanding of the methods of corrupt procedure, but they will have a long struggle before they can break down .the vicious system, un less the voters are much more thought ful and independent than those of New York. If they can bring these voters actually to refuse support to the lead ers who they know maintain the vicious system, and continue to refuse that support, they will have done more than the reformers in any other Amer ican city have been able to accom plish. They should not be too sanguine, however, that public show of indigna tion at an exposure of rascality means any great increase in public virtue. It Is the voter who makes the bribe taker and the bribe giver, and conviction that his creatures have disgraced him does not insure him against a liking for •ther creatures of the same kind." APPEALS TO THE PEOPLE. The people need only to rouse them selves to shake off the fetters forged by time and a merciless, self serving ring. We are approaching a gubernatorial and legislative election, and whether we have a Cuban war or not on the high seas Conshohocken and Montgom ery counties will be here to pay taxes and be governed. No free government can exist without elections. The kind of government we have depends on our intelligence and Ihe interest we take in selecting those who levy and spend the taxes. If we are coerced in voting by corporations or tempted to sell votes as they did in Lancaster county two weeks ago for a bottle of whisky or a suit of clothes, we are only bringing ruin upon ourselves and our country. We curse the country with a cancer that will eat out its very heart. I cannot tax upon you tonight a recital of the wrongs un dertaken by the last legislature—de feated In part by (he valiant "seventy six" and the faithfulness of the gover nor in applying the veto power. Let the plated candidates of the ring come into power at the next election and you shall have the bosses owning the governor's mansion and the new capitol. Contrac tors will furnish a lot less of building, but a large lot of money for political purposes. The city hall at Philadelphia and Its contracts and costs Is an object lesson for you. The padded pay rolls, the taxation proposed, the reimbursement of the Lexow and mileage committees that were headed off last year, will call next time upon you, and you will have no remedy. THE PROSPECT PORTRAYED. Do you like the prospect? Are you pleased to be led about In the Andrews- Quay chain gang, on the promise of a place or a free pass on the ralroad? If you are not getting anything out of your servitude you are not as smart as the others who do. and they laugh at you while they enjoy their innings. Bushels of railroad passes arc con stantly being distributed by the Kleam railroads, by the hands of the politi cians, to their friends who vote the way the ini'reads want them to vote. And this going on In open day, and known to thousands, and the Interstate commerce la" notwithstanding. Let me conclude with a word or two personal to myself. Very reluctantly I accvpte d the call of the Bourse conference to become a can didate of the Republican party for gov ernor. I have 110 wish to be governor. I am simply offering myself for your use, to break the slate of the bosses and to get a man for governor accept able to the p. ople who want to throw off the yoke 01 the rna< hine. I want to see the state start anew out of the wilderness Into a land of anil prosperity. You can e'.eet your own governor and you can elect your own legislature, and be your own masters— if vol* will.

He was also seriously hurt in the hip and had his head cut. Mr. Richey is quite a heavy man and it is surprising that he escaped with his life. Dr. Crawford was called and reports him doing nicely.
