He was sentenced in Mobile Alabama was a postmaster and embez zled fi.ooo. The revenue collections last month were 1114,600, against 188,000 of Feb ruary 1897. This is a big increase, and shows up well for Collector Duncan's first month. Chairman Dockery of the penitentiary board says that at the meeting of the board on Wednesday one of the first tilings that will be done is to find out if there are any Democrats left in the em ploy of the penitentiary that they will be removed, and "patriots" (Republicans) put in their places. There will be nearly 100 convicts put to work on the Raleigh and Cape Fear Railroad during the next days. Superintendent Mewborne says that the exact number of baies of cotton, raised by the penitentiary force last year is 8,046. Out of that number . . . . n.. only OlS Dales remain unsoiu. inure will be another big cotton crop put in this year. There are now 1,130 con viuts. Most of them are at work on the State farms. It takes between 70 and 100 guards to guard thera.

A proposition is to be made to the club to purchase or lease a small tract of land a few miles out of the city, and erect a nice country club cot tage. It is suggested that there be sold 100 shares of stock at $35, each. Thij seems to be a good idea. Tlie chairman of the Railroad commit slon today called a meeting of the com- injsslon for tbe transaction of routine business. Chairman Caldwell was in conference with the Governor quite a while yesterday, The exceptions of the railroads to the reduced rates will be beard tomorrow.

C, March 14. 1 The Spanish flag must go ! Boiled down that is the universal sentiment in Congress: There are different opinions as to driving of the Spanish flag out of Cuba A week ago, there was some doubt as to whether this sentiment was held by President McKinley, but his actions since Congress unanimously appropriated $50,000,000 for him to spend at his dis cretion in preparing for National defense have been those of a man who expects to fight, and the delight expressed over the preparations for war, which are now visible on every hand, shows that the country's fighting blood is up, which adds a little to the certainty of war. According to the general belief, it is now only a question of how and where the fighting will begin. The only actual enlistments yet being made are of men for the two new artil lery regiments, authorized by Congress, and of men for the Navy, but the War Department is getting together arms, ammunition and accoutrements for 100, 000 men, so that there will be no delay in getting an army together at short notice, as soon as tbe first call for volun tecrs is issued. How soon that will he will depend upon circumstances. We arc already going ahead too fast for General Preparations. Secretary Long is Positive. Movement of War Vessels.

Secretary of the Javy Long used sonic positive language today regarding the readiness of the Navy Department for war. The Secretary said: "I am warranted in saying that we can obtain all the war ships we want. We are prepared for war.

Senor Polo, the new Spanish Minister, who has just been presented to the Presi dent, is either ignorant of tlie situation or is making a gigantic diplomatic bluff to make us think ho is. Just think of the nerve of the man, now when the opinion is universal that Spain's last hold on Cuba is hound to be broken in the near future by intervention on the part of the United States, cither peaeably or by force, in giving out a column news paper interview in which he enlarges upon the success of autonomy iu Cuba, which everybody in Washington knows to be a failure, and becomes enthusiastic over;tlie reciprocity treaty, wmcn lie says he expects to aid the delegates of the autonomy cabinet of Cuba in negotia. ting with the United States. If Senor Polo really expects to do as be says he does, the inside of his head would make a fine study for a specialist in brain disease. Nobody blames Senor Polo any more for talking about lmpossi ble treaties than for being so cocksure that neither Spain nor the U. S. want war; it is the business of a diplomat to pretend to believe what he knows to be untrue. Nearly every day brings a new and more or less elaborate scheme for some sort of intervention in Cuba by this gov ernment before the public, but President McKinley's scheme, if he has one, is still uuknown. The latest Idea is that the U. 8. shall demand ot both the Spaniards gutg t(m ever and Cubans that hostilities cease, anu that some sort of an arrangement be made whereby the Cubans are to control Cuba, and to remain nominally under control of Spain Tbe advocates of this scheme think it an all around good one because It would be accepted by Spain, and because it would obviate the necessity of this gov ernment assuming control of Cubs. They say that the Cubans are unfitted for In dependent self-government, and that un til the population becomes much im proved, tbe Island would not make a desirable accession to the U. 8.: therefore that tbe logical outcome is a Cuban gov ernment under Spanish auspices. But all this Is put forward in the belief and dependent upon the contingency that Spain will satisfactorily meet all the de mands made on account Of the loss of the Uaine, and that we shall not have to light to enforce those demands a be lief that Is heavily In the minority, JT.Sr IN' 10 A il) l.-i t'KN'TS PACKAGE.

More KviUeuceii ol' a Mine Explosion. Tlie Niinlsli Re port. Havana, March 13. Tlie United States court of inquiry held a session this nioni- ius and will meet again tomorrow, Its work here will last some time, according to what its mouthers said today, so it is liiiely that the sending of a ship to Havana'tu carry tlie court away may be postponed later than Wednesday, which I was regarded as the probable date for tlie conclusion of the work here. At the point where the explosive force that wrecked the Maine is believed to have been primarily excited tht re is al pres ent a depth of water of nearly forty-seven feet. The Maine, as slie swung at her moor ings, drew not more 'inn tweuty-eilit, or, at most. Iwenty-niii'' feel amidships. It was well known that she h id not more than ten feet of water under her !ot tni. This would show that the total ivirage ileptli ot water at inai point where the Maine was anchored was not more than thirty-eight or thirty-nine feet. It is now found Hint at the very point where the Maine's bottom plates were foiced up through other wre kagc to a height of twenty nine feet above their normal position there is a hole scooped out in the bottom of the harbor to a depth of from eight to ten feet below its average level. That this depression was originally much greater will readily he understood when the action of tides on the soft mud of the harbor's bottom and Hie consentient tendencv toward tilling in to a normal level are taken into con s'uleralion. These facts are directly at variance with the statement of Captain l'eral, president of the Spanish court of inquiry, that no l.n e hole was found under the Maine. The Captain argued from this that a tornedo was not used, as would have torn up the bottom of tU,e harbo Again, Captain l'eral puts stress on the ''united testimony of fishermen licit no dead fish have been found floating in the harbor since ihe explosion. His ar guiiR-nt is that any heavy explosion under water would have killed lish large numbers. American divers to a man have re marked that there are no live fish in the harbor, or at I'Mirl in the neighborhood where Ihe Maine went down. This is so unusual as to have been a matter of com ment among them. While doing sul marine work in the vicinity ot Key Wei or tbe Tortugas they were surrounded by lish, which swarmed alsnit them thousands. But here it is a well-known fact that the dead bodies still undi water have not been preyed upon by fish. Madiid. Maich HI. The imparcial savs: ''The government is momentarily expecting to receive the report of the Spanish naval court of Inquiry, which is uudeistiHHl. will maintain that the Maine explosion was internal. Allhougl the American commission may giv another explanation, the governnien will energetically uphold the Spanish r port." I i) Are Tl ii re UON'T SUFFER WITH HEADACHE !
