No Game This Afternoon.
Manager Wells and his crack Rich
mond team passed through this mo-Ding
on their way from Charlotte to
Richmond. Mr. Selee, of the Bos
tons, met him at the station and both
thought it best for the Richmonds to
go on through as it was very proba
ble that it would 'rain all the -afternoon.
Had the Virginians stayed and
been unable to play to day they would
have had to leave in the morning to
keep an engagement in Richmond and
with another team. So Greensboro
is not to be allowed to see the Rich
monds play after all.
Tomorrow afternoon the regular
Boston team will play the colts. This
game will not be any tame affair but
a hotly contested one. The colts are
going to show what 6tuff they are

peared in the Herald, a new republi

colored men. We understand the col
onel ( Mr. Lybrook ) accused Mr. Stew
art of writing pieces for the paper,
which reflected on him ( the colonel. )

And Senator Hanna Is More Hopeful
of Peace Now Than He
Has Been.
By Wire to The Tklegr.au.
Washington, March 26 Wall street
got a tip out of Washington on the
proposed Spanish-American alliance
long before the people in the capital
knew anything of the plan. Henry
Cannon, president of the Chase Natio
nal bank, of New York, was here Sat
urday to use his influence on the side
of peace. John C. Moore, of Moore
and Schley, brokers, also hurried
hither from Florida. Other prominent
brokers followed and presently Wall
street had a tip that sent stocks flying
up. The state department says the
cipher code must have leaked out. It
is known that a cypher code is being
made up to prevent any leaks.
"WAR AND PEACE."
By Wire to The Telegram.
Washington, Mr. 29 Senator Rawl
ings says: "I am in favor of declar
ing war against Spain immediately.
She knows something about the des
truction of the Maine and should be
held accountable for it. The first
blow we should strike however, should
be in the shape of recognition of
Cuban independence." Senator Hanna
says: "I feel more hopeful- of peace
than e'ver."
THE ONLY KEY.
Washington, March 29 Senator
Morgan, of the senate foreign rela
tions cammittee which has the Maine
report in charge, said this morning:

but will do nothing until the disposal
of the resolution for intervention,
which Senator Foraker introduces to
day." AN ENGLISH VIEW.
London Paper Says Spain Owes the
Most Humble Apologies.
London, March 28 The St. James
Gazette, commenting on the report of
the United States naval court of in
quiry into the loss of the battlship
Maine, says:
"There can be no doubt Spain owes
a reparation to the American govern
ment, to say nothing of the most hum
ble apologies and the most extreme
considerations for the feelings of the
nation which has lost a fine cruiser
lying in peace in a presumably friend
ly harbor. The outlook is threaten
ing as it could be. Spain is in the
wrong and it is for Spain to walk
warily."
Morgan's Resolution Adopted.

quility prevails here, and in the pro

BRIDE PEEPED AT THE MODEL.
Saw Her Artist Husband at Work
and Fainted.
New York, March 28 Philip Green
wald, an artist, has sued Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Soloman for $2,000 for alienat
ing his wife affections. The defend
ants are Mrs. Greenwald's parents and
they took her home after she reported
to them that she had peeped through a
keyhole into her husband's studio,
where he was working with models,
and was shocked at the spectacle.
Greenwald had been doing a good
business until one of his neighbors
peeped through the keyhole, and others
followed suit. Mrs. Gr.-enwald was
next dragged from the seclusion of her
sitting room.
"Look at that!" they cried. She
looked and fainted. To make sure her
eyes had not deceived her she bored a
gimlet hole in the door between the
sitting room and the parlor, which was
always locked during working hours.
She watched next day for herself,
and then, with eyes streaming, rushed
to her parents. They came and peeped
through the gimlet hole and then told
her to pack up her things and come
home with them. She has been home
ever since.
THE LECTURE LAST NIGHT
At the A. & M. College By Editor of
The New York Age.
One among the great men of the col
ored race, T. Thos. Fortune, editor of
the New York Age, lectured at the A.
& M. College last night on Thomas
Jefferson. The large chapel was filled
to its utmost seating capacity despite
the admission fee. Superb music was
rendered after which President Dudley
introduced Editor Fortune in well
chosen language.
The lecture was a well arranged and
splendid piece of work, though spoken
from manuscript. In paying a high
tribute to Mr. Jefferson the audience
applauded the speaker when he said:
Mr. Jefferson was the founder of a
great party that has stood and will
stand."
The philosophical expressions in
connection with the history of Thomas
Jefferson were more notable than the
lecturer's oratory.
There were a good many white peo
ple present among whom were Presi
dent Mclver and party from the State
Normal and Industrial College and
Dr. Benbow and others of the city.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
On The Report of The Naval
Board of Inquiry.
HE RECOMMENDS DELIBERATION
A Short Recital of The Incidents
Leading to and The Destruc
tion of The Maine.
Bv Wire to The Telegram.
Washington, Mar. 28 The complete
synopsis of President McKinley's
message to congress today is as fol
lows: In its findings the board says the
battleship Maine was moored in five
and one half or six fathoms of water
by the regular government pilot au
thorities, who were previously notified
of her coming. The discipline on the
Maine was excellent and everything
was in perfect order at the time of the
explosion.
In the opinion of the court this effect
could have been produced only by the
explosion of a mine situated under the
bottom of the ship at about frame
eighteen somewhere on the port side
of the ship.
The president adds that the con
clusions of the court are that the loss
of the Maine was not in any respect
due to fault or negligence on the part
of any of the officers or members of
the crew. That the ship was destroyed
by the explosion of a submarine mine
which caused the partial explosion of
two or more forward magazines and
that no evidence has been obtainable
fixing the responsibility for the de
struction of the Maine upon any
person or persons.
The president says that accordingly
a conference with the Spanish minis
ter was held January 24th, and the
renewal of visits of our warships in
Spanish waters was agreed upon.
Peninsular authorities at Madrid and
Havana were advised of the purpose
of this government to resume friendly
naval visits and that the Maine would
forthwith call at Havana. This an
nouncement was received by Spain
with appreciation of the friendly
character of the visit and with notifi
cation of her intention to return the
courtesy by sending Spanish ships to
the principal ports of the United
States.
In the meantime the Maine entered
Havana harbor the 25th of January,
and her arrival was marked with no
special incident besides the exchange
of customary salutes.
The Maine remained there three
weeks and no appreciable excitement
attended her stay. A feeling of relief
followed the resumption of friendly
intercourse. So noticeable was this
immediate effect that the presence of
our ships in Cuban waters was strongly
urged by the consul general.
At 9:40 p.m., on the 15th of Feb
ruary the Maine was destroyed. The
forward part of the ship was utterly
wrecked by the explosion and 264 of
the crew perished. Prompt assistance
was rendered by the neighboring ves
sels in the harbor, aid being especial
ly given by the boats of the Spanish
cruiser Alphonso XII and the Ward
Line steamer City of Washington,
which lay not far distant. The wound
ed were generously cared for by the au
thorities in Havana, the hospitals be
ing freely opened to them. Tributes
of sympathy were offered from all of
ficial quarters of the island.
The appalling calamity fell upon the
people of our country with crushing
force and in a brief time intense ex
citement prevailed which, in a com
munity less just and self-controlled
than ours, might have led to hasty
acts and blind resentment. This spir
it, however, soon gave way to calmer
reason and resolve to investigate the
facts and await material proof before
forming judgment as to the cause, re
sponsibility if the facts warranted the
remedy due.
This course recommended itself to
the executive and the usual proceedure
was followed as in all cases of casualty
or disaster to national vessels and the
maritime naval court was immediately
organized and the findings of the court
were reached after twenty-three days
of continuous labor and it is herewith
laid before congress.
The evidence of the divers establishes
the fact that the after part of the ship
is practically intact. At frame seven
teen the outer shell of the ship from a
point eleven and a half feet from the
middle line of the ship six feet above
the keel when in its normal position
was forced up so as to be now about
four feet above where it would be had
the ship sunk to the bottom uninjured.
The outside plate is bent into a re
versed V shape the after wing of which,
about fifteen feet broad and thirty-two
In length is doubled back upon itself
.against the continuation of the same
extending forward.
At frame eighteen the vertical keel
was broken in two and the flat keel
bent into an angle similar to the angle
formed by the outside of the bottom
plates. This break is now about six
feet below the surface of the water,
about thirty feet above its normal po
sition. In the opinion of the court
this could only have been caused by
an explosion situated under the bottom
of the ship.
I have directed that the finding of
the court of inquiry and the views of
this government thereon be communi
cated to Her Majesty's government
and I do not permit myself to doubt
that the sense of justice of the Spanish
nation will indicate a course of action
suggested by honor and the friendly
relations of the two governments.
It will be the duty of the Executive
to advise congress of the result, and
in the meantime deliberate considera
tion is invoked.
