Important Dertlo; : i ," Expected. .' - A Washington rpechl cf Monday r 'ys: Never tinea the co..:; litions in Cula frst assumed proportions has there been so much talk of possible trouble between this county and Spain as thero has been since Secretary Long's announcement, that the battle'" ship .Maine is headed toward Havana. This action is naturally taken as most significant. - . 1 y l M The state and navy departments aire busy denying that there irany change in the situation down there and Jn reiterating that there is nq special reason for the visit of thpVueship Aai nothings in fact, but a friendly visit, as the vessel l of any country is liable to pay. to a friendly port at any time but it is the eon vie - tion of those whose Judgment is most valuable that nothing short of truly alarming news would have induced the administration to take this step at this particular time. " r , . Whether it is due. to the fear that the cable from Havana might be cut, leaving (General Lee where he could .not bo in communication either with the government or with the squadron at Key West, or to threatened anti American outbreaks can only be sur mised. But there certainly is Rome- It is the general belief iu Washing ton that important developments may bo expected any day now. There can have been no possible reason for sand ing a battle hip to that harbor nnder the shadow of Moro castle now, if it were not that a crisis is on. I The decision to Bend the United States steamship Maine was finally reached at a special meeting at the white house Monday morning between ttie president, Secretary Long, Assis tant Secretary Day, Attorney General McKenna and General Miles, and it is a striking fact that with the exception of the secretary of the navjr and the attorney general not a member of the cabinet knew of the president's intent tion to take this radical action. It is not denied, .however, that some such move has been long in contem plation, as is evidenced in the follow ing statement of Assistant Secretary Day made Monday afternoon: "xhe Bonding of the Maine to Ha vana means simply the resumption of friendly relations 'with Spain. . It " is customary for naval vessels of friend ly nations to pass in and out of the harlmrs of other countries with which they are at peace, and British and German warships have " recently iivis-. ited Havana. This is no new move. The president has intended to" do it for some time, but heretofore some thing has happened to postpone it. The orders to the Maine mean nothing more than I have said, and there is noining alarming or unfriendly in thenu The Spanish minister here is fully informed of what is going on, and so far as I know has not made the slightest objection to it."

Throngfe Sympathy They are Gaining XU . , eruita On All Sides. special from Bpston, Mass., iays The sura total of new features in Thursday's programme of the textile troubles was the shutting down of the Cabot mill, at Brunswick, Me., be cause ofdesertion of help in sympathy with striking : weavers, and the an nouncement that a small mill of the Social Manufacturing Company, at Woonsocket, B.yL, would shut down for a few days for a lack of orders. A aide issue bronght up during the day was labor legislation in the Massa chusetts legislature. ' It will be remembered that the Ark wright Company, in recommending a cut-down of wages, laid stress upon the competition of southern mills through a longer working -day. - The club furthermore urged the repeal of the restrictive measures in force in Massachusetts. - With the first inkling of an attempt to carry out this recommendation labor representatives in the bouse introduced "bills for new . legislation for a 55-hour . week, no over time for women and children and to investigate the present textile situation. So on the fourth day of the strike the popular interest was directed to legislative halls rather than to New Bedford.1 v r In Fait River the discontent is grow ing and the mill officials know it and are apprehensive. ' V,.1' Forecasting the future,' the evidences of stubbornness' of the operatives in defending their position is shown in Biddeford, Me. , where .arrangements for serving strike rations are being made. There the. citizens, even Chi nese laundrymen," are centributing money and societies are offering ail sorts jof aid. " .V v ' The strike may assume accute con ditions there sooner than at any other place, judging from local indications. TIMES ANTICIPATES . TROUBLE. London Paper Discusses Itepresentatlre llltt's Speech on the Cuban Question. The London Timesw in an editorial on Representative Hitt's speech in the house of representatives a day or two ago, says: "We assume that President McKin ley does not wish his hand to be forced by the opposite party. He does not want war with Spain, because, i Jiis heart is set npon promoting the eco nomical and commercial development of the United States. . Yet it seems doubtful whether he will prove strong enough to resist the pressure brought to bear upon him. One of the' usual kaleidoscopic changes in American .politics has just been effected. The Cuban question is evidently much graver than it was two days ago, and the government is not any stronger. An accident . may precipitate any thing." UNANIMOUS ASSENT LACKING. Liquidation Tlan of Chestnut Street Na tional Bank May Fall Through. With Thursday expired the period set by the comptroller of currency for the receipt of depositors assets to the plan of voluntary liquidation propos ed for the Chestnut Street National bank at Philadelphia. Unanimous assent is necessary and it was stated that all the depositors had been favorably heard from except a very few. . .Apart from the few withdrawing de positors, the state has not yet assented to the plan and it has an account in this bank of $205,000 from the stale treasurer, and this may prove a stum bling block to the success of the plan. : ' OBJECTED TO AGREEMENT. Many Hundred Men Thrown Out of "Work By Michigan Ship Builders. ' Wheeler & Co.'s shipyards at Bay City, Mich., shut down" Thursday morning, throwing 700 men out of work, as a reso.lt of the riveters refus ing to accept a'. 7 per cent increase in wages. li ) The riveters , had been on a strike several days, trying to obtain the same scale of wages paid in 1895. When the rrieters declined the com pany's offer of increase, the company resolved to close the yard .and endeav or to employ an entirely new force. The riveters would have accepted the proffered increase had they not been required to sign an agreement not to act as a body, but as individuals, and to agree that the company retain 10 per cent of their wages as a forfeit against quitting without its consent. CARTER TRIAL DRAGS. Witness Tells of Some Things Unfavorable - to the Defendant. A Savannah, Ga., dispatch says: The courtmartial of Captain O. M. Carter dragged along slowly Friday. Mr. A. S. Cooper, assistant engineer tinder the accused, was on the stand all day.

Tho Tote, However, Wa Favorable and I- Was One of Confidence la the "Old War Horse." A Washington special says: The senate spent two hours in executire session Saturday in discussing the nomination of General James Long street to be commissioner of railroads, which nomination had come over from Friday because ' of the objection made then by Senator Yett -C- 'When the nomination was taken up Mr. Vest took the floor and opposed confirmation in a sharp and vigorous speech. He was followed on the same side of the argument by Senators Daniel, Berry and Caffery. xThe opposition was based upon the general ground of General Longstreet's connection with the Kellogg-War-mouth faction in politics in Louisiana in V the reconstruction days of that state. JV; ' - -, : - A' ,- .- " Mr. Caffery was : especially zealons in his opposition, saying General Lqngstreet had in those days antago nized the best interests of his state and that for this reason he was op posed to him now. - He held- that the general's position at that time indicated a want of judgment which would ren- der him incapable of filling so impor tant a position as that, of railroad commissioner. r ' : -s Mr. Vest stated that he had. been in Louisiana during the reign of the re constructionists' and knew that'party to have been perfidious in its disregard of the best interests of the people, and said General Longstreet's identification with it was sufficient to condemn him in his (Vest's) eyes. - I f - Senator Daniel, while coinciding with these views, also expressed opposition to General "Longstreet because of his criticism of General Lee in his book on the war. He did not go into de: tails, but said he could not in his ca pacity as an adviser to the president in the matter of the appointment con sent to such a selection as this and that he must, utter his dissent on this as well as on other accounts. These objections were replied to by Senators Hoar, ' Candler and HawTey, republicans; Turner, ; popnlist, and Bacon, democrat, of Georgia - , The republican senators who spoke characterized tho session as a cause which looked very much like tho wav ing of - the i'bloody shirt," ' V Senator Bacon said that" while a democrat and a southern man, he could not see his way clear to oppose General Longstreet's confirmation. While! it was true General Longstreet had identified himself with the repub lican party after the war, he had, Sen ator Baco said, been a gallant con federate ' officer, and was, on this ac "count, well regarded in the south. Senator Bacon also expressed the opinion that it was time that disagree ments which sncceeded the war and the friction which resulted therefrom shoulcl be forgotten." As for himself, he said, he did not dare to perpetuate the memories of that time, and on this account he would- sustain the presi dent in his nomination of General Longstreet. ' . "v... . -; During the discussion - there was some reference to . the fitness of the general to the office, the declaration being made that he was not compe tent to perform "its" duties. Senator White brought out the fact that the general was seventy-seven years of age. The vote for confirmation was 33 to 15. ' w'-v ' . ECLIPSE YIEWEW IN IXDIA.

X10BCAN KEITHS 13 CLETELANtt TOfctte Hevlewins tho Hawaiian Annexa tion Matter In the Senate - Proposed annexation cf Hawaii was somewhat extensively reviewed by Mr. Morgan,. cf Alabama, in the sen ate Monday, while speaking to a ques tion of personal privilege. " The Ala bama senator had been represented as saying in executive session substan tially that ex-President Cleveland was in favor of Hawaiian annexation. This statement called out a denial from Mr. Cleveland, -and in support of his original statement, Mr. Morgan ad dressed th,e senate at great length. Mr. Morgan referred to, a dispatch from IVinceton, N. J. published Sun day quoting ex-President Cleveland as denying a statement said to have been made by. Mr, Morgan in an executive session of the senate to the effect that Mr. Cleveland was once 1 in favor of the annexation of Hawaii. Mr. Mor gan said' he - could not discuss his own statements made in executive ses bion. " - : v-.,y: . -. "No statement. for publication was made by me," said Mr. Morgan, hence Mr. Cleveland, in accepting such a statement, without first ascer taining from me what the facts : were, shows his willingness toy accept ex parte statements in Hawaiian matters." Mr. Morgan said that it was well known to some of , Mr. Cleveland's friends dm ing hisrst administration that he was in favornot only of the annexation of Hawaii, but also of Cuba. , - " . , r - ; "I cannot, " declared Mr. Morgan, "accept Mr. Cleveland's statement that he was also opposed .to Hawaiian annexation. I can name at least one confidential; friend; pf Mr. Cleveland who -will support me. in the. belief that that statement is not" true." y - - r Mr. Morgan thenpresented and ex tended review of Mry Cleveland's con nection as presideilt with Hawaiian affairs, in the course of which he de nounced the" accrediting of Special Commissioner Blount to the govern ment at . Honolulu as a "piece of du plicity without parallel." - SOCTIIEBN PKOGBESS.

A Washington special of Friday says: Cuban news is still flying fast and s furious about the capitol. One story was pet in circulation that the president was preparing a special mes sage in which - he would ask for $1,000,000 for the transportation of troops. This and other reports were followed by .denials, and there seems no way of getting at the truth of any of them. . ... : . One thing is certain, however, and that is . that the ' administration is greatly alarmed at the situation in the house of representatives. It was this phase of the situation that had the cabinet in session Friday. The Cuban matter took up all the time of the president and his members. As grave as the situation is on account of the attitude of the Spanish, it is as serious in the eyes of the administra tion as the attitude of the republicans in the house. '' y " Currency Reform May Fall. - The death knell of all efforts at cur rency reform was sounded in the sen ate at Friday's session, . v -.'X A premonition of it was given Thurs day in the decisive vote by which the Stanley Matthews resolutions were given thl right of way over everything elsejFriday.the fatd of all the various efforts to pass such .reform laws as will ''commit this country more thorough ly to the gold standard" was settled. , The opponents of these resolutions had made a careful study of the aitua tion and when Senator Vest asked that a time be set for a final vote on the resolutions, tho republican leaders evinced a desire that they be given their dose at, the soonest moment pos sible. This was a surprise to the sil ver men, who had expected to be told that the resolutions would not be al lowed to go through the senate with out the hardest kind of a fight. - An agreement was reached that there shall be a tote next Thursday. In the meantime there will be several speeches. Senators Turpin and Stew art have already given - notice of ' their intentions in .this respect and eome of the republiccns will, set forth their views. Those western republicans who have been talking silver are to be smoked out.' They will vote for the resolutions, and its passage by so de cided a rote will be formal notice to the house that there is no need of that body wasting its time in the consider a-. tion of the Gage bill, the commission bill or any of those other measures d vanced in the nam$ of reform and pushed for the purpose so frankly stated by the secretary of the treaswy -to commit the country more - thor oughly to the gold standard.' " " y v A Ienial From Mr. Quay. , " At the opening of the senate's Ses sion Friday Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania, Said that he had noticed in the morn ing newspapers that he had voted for the consideration of the Teller resolu tion because the senator from Missou ri (Mr. Test) had asked him to do so. This, Mr. Quay 'said, was not true in any sense, as he had not conferred with the Missouri senator about it. He had voted as he had, said he, because he thought the present consideration of ' the resolution would benefit the country and the republican party. y BlU- IMPORTS OF LUMBER.

' A San Francisco dispatch says: During the past 48 hours 17 vessels, carrying in the aggregate more than four million feet of lumber, hav-e passed in through the golden gate. This ar rival of so many lumber laden vessels is' due wholly to the unprecedented demand for tonage to engage in the Alaskantrade. w . y ; The arrival of the fleet relieves to a great extent, a situation in the lumber market created by the same demand that will cause a scarcity of lumber carriers.

When the question of adjournment came up in executire ses sion Friday the question was raised whether it were advisable to follow the usual custom and take a recess until Monday. -: , r-y '" Senator Davis, chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations, said that while he had no definite information as to a Cuban crisis and did not know if one were approaching or not, still he thought owing to the seriousness of the situation that the senate had best remain in session in case of the expected , or the unexpected happen ing. His suggestion was concurred in by other senators who regard the situation as very grave, y,-- ;:'- xne navy department has put the flotilla of torpedo boats under cipher orders from General Lee.

Should this cipher fail to come at any time one or more torpedo boats are under instruc tions to hasten to Havana without waiting for other orders, either from Lee or Washington. These are unique orders which are only given . under extraordinary cir cumstances, and the' action of the senate, in remaining in session, -was the' result of important developments in the Cuban question.

Over Stubborn Opposition and ; Strong: Party ZJaes A Washington special says: Speaker Beed, from the rostrum of the h :sc, and Mr. Bailey, leader of the Ccrao crata, from his place on the Coor, glared at each other at the close of the Cuban debate Thursday and joined aa issue of veracity. This sensational episode completely overshadowed the interest in the Cuban debate, which had continued uninteruptedly in the house for three days, during the con sideration of the diplomatic and con sular appropriation bill. ' Wednesday notice was given by Mr. Williams, democrat, of Mississippi, that at the conclusion of the . debate Thursday s motion would be made to ' recommit the bill with instructions.
