Special to Journal.
Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 23. Senator
Proctor, former Secretary of War, was
sent by the President to meet Consul
General Lee on board the torpedo boat
Cuphing at Key West.
Lee has information to be communi
cated to the President that is regarded as
too grave to be intrusted to the wires
even in the cipher code.
Senator Proctor arrived here quietiy
this morning. A special train to carry
him to Tampa awaited him on Ills arrival
in this city.
Havana, February 28. (Special.) The

ter expectB to have covered half 'he
ground of the investigation this evening
The members of the court of investiga
tion expect to leave Havana for Key
West on Saturday.
Consul General Leu denies that it it) hit-
intention to leave for Washington.
New York, Feb. 28. (Special.) Major
General Merrill, commanding the Depart
ment of the East left today for an inspec
tion of the coast defenses on the Atlantic
coast In the South.
His trip caused a sensation among
army offlcinls. They express themselvi s
as believing that his mission is of far
greater Importance than a regular annual
inspection.
It is stated by those in authority that
work on Southern fortifications is not
progressing as fast as is desired.
Jacksonville, February 28 (Special.)
Under orders from the Adjutant Geo.
eral, the Naval Reserve Militia of Florida
leave tomorrow on a Military mission
down the coast to locate signal stations
at available points.
Washington. February 28. (Special.)
All the southern railroads are giving
to the government cstima'es of the num
ber of men and the quantity of munitions
of war that they can handle in a given
time and at short notice.
Major General Kae, Commander of
the National Guard had a long conference
with Captain Miller, commanding the
Naval deserves of New York State, who
went from New York to Albany for that
purpose. .
He reports that the State of New lork
can mass thirteen thousand eight hun
dred men on ten hours notice.
The National Guard ia recruiting all
over the United State as shown by 'the
reports sent la to the commander.
The Holland submarine torpedo boat
at Baltimore has been sent orders to be
completed this week.
startled by eomersadden shock of dairgi
and were in the act of reaching up for
their hammock hooks to swine them
selves on deck when death camp. This
seems to confirm what has already been
said about there having been two explo
sions the first startling the men into the
act of arising from their hammocks, the
other dashing the life out of them while
they were in that position.
The theory of two explosions is borne
out by the testimony of Senor Antonio
Caballero, a well-known tobacco dealer
of Havana. Senor Caballero was crossing
the bay in a ferryboat at the time of the
disaster. He was familiar with the Maine,
having paid several .visits to that craft,
and was pointing out to a group of
friends on the ferryboat her peculiarities,
when there came, he said, a dull report
from the forward part of the ship, the
upheaval of a geyser of water about the
boat, followed almost Instantly by a
terrific roar and a blinding flash of light.
He is positive about the first explosion
and says that it was noticed by his com
panions.
Americans in Havana have been quiet
ly notified by Consul General Lee that it
might be well to take their families to a
place of safety. These precautions were
taken in view of the fact that there is
strong suspicion that the volunteers and
Wcylentes have been Inspired to create
trouble in case the Maine inquiry proves
that the catastrophe was due to design.
Every one here believes that a. crisis
will follow close upon its conclusion.
The Spanish authorities realize that Spain
is perilously near a rupture with the
United States and suppressed excitement
is felt in the air.

IUi.moii, N. C. Feb. 23. f
The wrathy remarks of Governor Rus
sell concerning the 'criticisms of him ir.
the New Berne Journal are considered
to be in his usual vulgar style. The
News and Observer contains the follow
ing on the mater:
"The Governor wished his compliments
to be sent to Editor Stevens in the fol
lowing language: 'You may say that
that feliow Stevens is a carpet-bagged
scoundrel.' "
Interest was divided here on yesterday
between the news from Havana, Hu
mecting of the State Democratic Execu
tive Committee; and the work of the
directors of the Atlantic and North Caro
lina R. K. at their meeting in New
Berne. The news from the latter which
tells how the directors removed Robert
Hancock as president, and his open letter
to Russell in retaliation was read with
interest.
The meeting of the Democratic Execu
tive Committee was quite a full one.
The Htate Convention was called to meet
here in Raleigh on the 38th day of May.
The committee passed seyeral resolu
tions one, eudorsing National Chairman
Jones idea of uniting the silver forces,
and another, asking all while electors.

Ex-district Attorney Aycock and his
assistant Mr. bpruill yesterday trans
ferred all the papers and documents per
taining to the office over the ncwlv ap

Bernard.
It is stated that no matter what the
next legislature may he. Democratic, or
Republican that the impeachment of Rus
sell as Governor is certain. This remains
to be seen. Republicans herd today say
that Russell is out of their party that
he is simply a free silver man.

Washington, February 23. Consul

McKinley that the plan of autonomy pro

Sagasta ministry at Madrid is a dismal
failure.
Lee gives his reasons in detail for the
conclusions arrived at. The letter is on
