Washington, Feb. 23 The Evening Star has recived the following from its staff correspondent in Cuba: "Havana, Feb. 23, via Key West. "Inquiry into the Maine disaster progresses along degmte lines. The result so far may be summed up in the statement that the probability that it was an accident seem to decrease with the progrrss of the investigation. "The most intense anxiety is shown by the Spanish officials here, who are in constant communication with Mad rid. They realize that the relations withe United States were never so much in danger of rupture as now. This is the general feeling. "The commercial clases here are hopeful of .American intervention on peaceful lines, but what they basetheir hope on is unknown. "The insurgents continue to win mi nor military successes. The autono mists are restless and some of the lead ers seem, on the point of breaking away from the government. Army officers continue to show an anti-American sentiment They are apparaently the only class that does" not look for an early crisis. Pepper." ZOLA FOUND GUILTY. Sentenced to a Year's Imprisonment and Fined. Paris, Feb. 23 M. Zola and M. Perreux, manager of the Aurore, were found guilty this afternoon. The fol lowing question were put to the jury: First, "Is M. Perreux guilty of hav ing slandered the first court-martial of Paris, by publishing in the Aurore an article signed hy M. Emile Zola, con taining the following attacks." (Here followed the passages upon which the indictment was based. ) Second, "Is M. Zola guilty of hav ing provided M. Perreux and other editors with the means of committing this slander?" The jury answered both questions in the affirmative. Zola was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, and to pay 3,000 francs fine. The jury was absent about half an hour and on reporting declared their were no extenuating circumstances. M. Zola on hearing the verdict crieu: "iney are cannioais. xur. Zola's sentence is the maximum pun ishment. Post-Bellum Bile. Dr. Arthur Edwards, editor' of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, seems determined that the Massachu setts veterans shall not outstrip him in -the exhibition of sectional bitter ness. Some time ago, the Massachu setts veterans passed resolutions cen suring President Andrews and others for according to General Robert E. Lee a few of the virtues which are sup posed to be the fruitage of Christian civilization. Now it is Dr. Edward's turn. In a late issue of his paper he says: "We exceedingly regret and unqualifiedly deprecate the fact that our national house of representatives, Jan. 28th, passed the old and persistent bill to pay the Nashville Publishing House f the Methodist Episcopal church, South, $288,000 for damages alleged to have been done during the occupa tion of the city by United States troops during the rebellion The passage of that bill is a deep wrong; it is a dangerous wrong." What will Dr. Edwards do next? We wonder if he will "deprecate the fact" that God is blessing the South ern Methodist churoh in the visitation of the Holy Ghost, or that God makes no exception in the case of the "un just'" southern people to His rule of sending the "rain on the just and the unjust."
