War or Peace The Message
Washington, April 5.
Tho delay in submitting the President's message to Congress
hns served a good purpose) in more ways tlitui one. It has con
solidated public opinion and put the nation behind the President;
it lias permitted tho escape of somo of the vapory that precedes
deliberate and calm notion in so momentous a question ; it has
enabled the President to oxlmust every oltort, in a diplomatic
manner, to bring about a settlement without resort to nnns ; and
most important of nil tbese considerations, the delay has given
timo for military and naval preparations. The past dilatory
tactics, says an official, was duo to the fact that our navy was not
in shape for hostilities up to tho present time, and tho delay in
taking a decided stand, was made in order to got things ship-shape
before begining hostilities.
The dignity of tho American Hag and the honor of tho nation
can be preserved only by the independence of Cuba ; tho death of
the brave American sailors and the destruction of the, Maine,
must be atoned for. All other questions are of a secondary con
sideration, including the question of war or peace. The Ameri
can people, nor their representatives in Congress, will not accept
mediation or a peaceful settlement of tho present didiculty, unless
such settlement means tho driving of tho Spaniards from Cuba.
The people liavo trusted William McKinley, and tlioy still
have faith in his patriotism. It is safe to say that a message on
the lines indicated will be sent to Congress.
The Administration ngain denied that the good graces of the
Popo had been asked by this government. If their is to be medi
ation by His Holiness it will bo between Spain and the Cubans.
He could not act in that capacity between this country and Spain;
but since the Cubans and their Spanish oppressors are Roman
Catholics, the Popo very properly desires to end violence on tho
Island.
Advices from Madrid to-day is to tho efTect that Spain was
appealing to every crowned head of Kurope and also to tho Popo
to assist to preserve tho integrity of the kingdom. Her prayers
brought little encouragement until the Pope finally replied that if
Spain, would voluntarily suspend hostilities in Cuba ho would use
his influence to make peace permanent. Yesterday, without
justification, the Spanish Ambassador at London announced in
positive terms that the Pope had intervened at the request of
President McKinley. This was a cunning diplomatic move on tho
part of the Spanish representative to divide the people of America
on religious linos, but it will not be effective.
President McKinley has not asked Papal mediation, neither
has he rejected the offers of the Pope as an arbitrator.

branches of the government. There
were the usual constant conferences
between the various bureau chiefs of
both departments, and Secretaries
Lone and Alger had numerous callers
from the Capitol. No orders, It was
stated, have been sent to either tho
fleet at Key West or the squadron at
Hampton Iloads, and no confirmation
could be obtained of the report that
sea orders had been sent the battle
ship Texas at New York. Secretary
Long held a brief conference with Sec
retary Alger during the afternoon, and
left the department shortly after 4
o'clock, much earlier than has been his
custom for the past few weeks. Up to
the hour of his departure It was stated
that no advices had been received re
garding any movements of the Spanish
torpedo fleet or other Spanish vessels.
Neither had the department been ad
vised of any developments In the et-
fort to purchase warships abroad.
No decision has yet been reached
by tho authorities as to the location of
the proposed naval base on the gulf
coast, the matter being still under con'
sidcratlon.
Secretary Alger has decided to rec
ommend to the president that an addi
tional allotment from the emergency
fund be made for the use of the ord
nance bureau of the army. The ord
nance department Is still lacking am
munition for tho sea coast fortifica
tions, and the extra allotment will be
used for this purpose.
It has been decided to detain for n
time at the Chlckamagua battlefield
the Twenty-fifth regiment of Infantry,
which is about to leave the various
forts In Montana for service at Key
West and Dry Tortugas. The reason
for this action Is said to be the fact
that the water supply at either of the
above named places Is not satisfactory

London, April 5. Details have been
obtained of the manufacture of sub
marine mines In London for Spain,
which was first brought to the atten
tion of the United States embassy and
cabled to the United States on March
E. A man whose cards describe him as
belns an electrical engineer, and whose
name was forwarded at the time to
Washington, then said he sold to Span
ish officers in London, several years
ago, a large number of mines, elcht or
ten of which were placed In Havana
harbor. He said they were made In a
special way, had a specially construct
ed cable, which he can Identify If the
smallest piece is produced, 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 arrange l that they would explode
upon a vessel coming into contact with
their). The man added, however, that
he did not believe the bulbs would be
used in water as shallow as that of
Havana harbor. Finally the man ex
hiblted plans of one of these mines.
which he said was the most llkelv to
produce the effect described as causing
the wreck of the Maine.
Lieutenant Commander J. C. Colwell,
the United States naval attache, has
since Investigated tho matter and has
made a report on the subject to the
United States government. The facts
learned strongly tend to show that
Havana harbor was mined, and they
unquestionably prove that Spain pur
chased mines for that purpose. The
firm of Lattimer, Rhodes & Clark,
electrical engineers, during 1887-8, filled
a large order for Spain of a lot of
mines, In which were used 14V4 tons of
gun cotton. The work was done under
the surveillance of General Fernandez
and Captain Bustamento. The mines
were divided Into four consignments
for Havana, Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartha-
gena. The mines were manufactured
under the direction of J. P. Gibbons,
after Gibbons' patents.
Gibbons, from whom a press repre
sentatlve obtains the information, and
who furnished to Lieutenant Com
mander Colwell a written statement of
the above facts, and outlined the theory
of the explosion which wrecked the
Maine, was then employed by the firm
as superintendent of the torpedo de
partment. He also says a similar lot
of torpedoes was manufactured for
Spain In 1896.
The manager of the Westminster En
glneerlng company, which is the sue
cessor of the aforementioned firm, and
with which Glbbens is connected, con
Arms the latter's statement as to the
manufacture of mines for Spain.

Efforts are being made to get the Lakosldo

This morning a bill was filed with the Pro-
thonotary at Pottsville in the cape or tho
Wosliughouso Electric and Mauufaeturlng
Company against the Lakcaido Electric Rail
way Company and the Equitable Trust Com
pany, the latter of Philadelphia.
The bill recites that about November 1,
1SD3, the Lakeside Railway Company issued
first mortgaao bonds to the amount of 230,-
00U. of which 818(1.000 worth aro still unpaid.
The plaintiff holds bonds to the amount of
$11,500 bearing luleiont at the rate ol six per
cent., navablo semi-annually in gold. Suit
was brought for this interest on February 5,
1WW. The plaintiff got judgment for $1,
W0.3S interest that is still unpaid. Interest
due other bondholders, it is alleged, ha been
paid promptly by the Equitable Trust Com
pany for tlio Lakosido Electric Railway Com
nauv and the latter company lias paid over
to tho former company enough to settle fur
all liiturustduo the tilaintiff. Tho writ was
issued to Sheriff Toulo to levy on tho prop

Tlio plaintiff therefore prays in
tho bill that the Equitable Trust

pany's property granted by the said mort
gage, to operate tho same and devote tlie
net income to the payment of the interest

appointed for tlio Lakeside Electric Railway
Company, and an injunction issuo restraining
