Adjourned. Let Them Come. It ?s with ereat treasure that the Telegram hears of the probability of the establishment of new manufactur ing enterprises in Greensboro. With by far the best railroad facilities in the state, with the lowest official death rate of any town above 5000 popula tion in the state, with her excellent city and county schools she needs only diversified manufactories to place her in the lead of the industrial develop ment of the state. We hope that our people will give all the encouragement they can to this line of our city's growth. A Thing of Beauty. The new Crawford wagon recently nnrehased bv Mr. C. P.

PLANS MAY BE FRUSTRATED, Mckinley's Efforts to Maintain Secrecy. MARIX EXPLAINS THE REPORT. Other News on the Situation Sent From the. Nation's Cap ital City. By Wire To The Tklbgram. Washington, March 26 Further in formation regarding the report of the court of inquiry before it is submitted to congress on Monday is not expected. However, publication of the report as cabled Minister Woodford for Spain may be made there. If the' report is published at-Madrid it will be imme diately cabled back and the efforts of the administration to maintain secrecy until congress has been communicated with will be frustrated. Congressmen have shown remarkable loyalty to the president in restrain ing their desire for radical action until the president prepares his plans. It is thought that this restraint cannot be continued longer than Tuesday or Wednesday. If the report be allowed to go to the committee without action the adminis tration's policy mast immediately be submitted to congress or it will taKe the matter into it's own hands. Mr. McKinley still hopes for peace. The president'has been correspond ing witn sagastas government re garding some plan of self-government for Cuba. Little is known of the plan but it provides for Cuban independ ence. MARTS EXPLAINS REPORT.

TO HALT SPANISH FLOTILLA Orders Issued to The fleet Hamptom Roads. at NO MESSAGES ALLOWED TO LEAVE The Real Significance of the Report Not Yet Indicated The Battle- ship Maine Was floved. By Wire to The Telegram. Washington, March 26 The wildest sort of rumors are afloat. Some' to the effect that Spain has been notified that her fleet must 8top and that Schley has been ordered to have the fleet at Hampton Roads ready to halt the Spanish flotilla. SPAIN GETTING STRICT.

It is not known whether this embargo relates to telegrams from Woodford to this country. Both Woodford and Dyer, United States attache at Madrid, sent dispatches Thursday. The cen sorship relates particularly to the tor pedo flotilla. NOT YET INDICATED. Washington, March 26-s-It is learned today that the real significance of the report of the naval board of inquiry has not yet been indicated. The wide ly published statement to the effect that theboard finds that the explosion was from the outside and that it was caused'by setting off some kind of submarine mine is doubtless correct, but this statement only hints at the serious nature of the findings. The harbor master at Havana testi fied that the Maine was moved from the place where she was first anchored to buoy over the spot where the explo sion occurred. Whether the mine was there before the removal is not stated. This information comes from a man who knows every word of the report. There is every reason to believe that when congress learns the facts it will be impossible to restrain the houses. The Private Secretary. Manager Blackburn, of the Acade my of Music, has secured, for one per formance, the great success of last season, the Private Secretary, with Edwin Travers and his admira ble company. The Private Secretary was decidedly the best performance that was ever given in Greensboro, and while the audience last season was small, it is safe to say that it was the most thoroughly delighted one that ever left the opera house. This season Mr. Travers will appear at the Academy of Music, and those who did not see the performance last season are unconditionally urged not to miss this ODDOrtunity to revel in the beauties of the cleanest and bright est comedy ever written. Those who were present last year will not require any advise they will be among the very first to secure seats is a foregone conclusion. The Private Secretary is a clean, pure and wholesome comedy, and its success for this reason alone cannot be wondered at. It is a purely legitimate comedy, and deserves to stand in the very front rank of all theatrical concoctions designed exclu sively for laughing purposes. Mr. Travers comDanv last season was an exceptionally good one, and this sea son tne assurance is giveu mai present organization is even superior to the company which appeared here last January. Thursday niffht. March 31st, is the r cj i ' date for their appearance here. Seats are now on sale at the usual place, and by special arrangements the prices for reserved seats have been placed, at 75 cents. No extra charge for reserving seats in advance.
