President McKinley is Determined to Forcibly Intervene ON HUMANITARIAN GROUNDS, l'he Situation Is a Very Delicate One, and Much Depends Upon the Couree Congress May Pursue. Presuleut^^cKiuley lalketl freely with his congressional visitors on the 2Cth, both in regard to his plane for the future and his appreciation of the situation with reference to Cuba. His programme as outlined is as fellows: To send the report of the Maine court of inquiry to Congress without recommendation, and without explanation on his part, further than to say that helms acquainted Spain with the iindings of the court; to follow this with a message dealing with the condition of the nou-cewbatouts in Cuba, and asking for an appropriation of jjtoUU.OhO for their immediato relief; to present anew this condition in Spain, ask that country to make provision for the care of her own helpless people, and to come to some tornis with the Cubans which will be satisfactory to them and put au eud to the war. This failing, to forcibly intervene on humanitarian ground#. THE PEACE PLANS. Communications Passing Between Woodford and State Department. The Cuban question and the report of the Maine conrt of inquiry were the topics discussed at Washington laBt Sunday, but so far as could be ascer taiued nothing conclusive was determined, one cf the members of the cabinet saving subsequently that there was nothing new or startling in tho situation. The presence of Judge Day would imply that there were advices from Minister Woodford, but further than an acknowledgement that communication is in progress between the State Department and the minister, nothing could be ascertained. At the State, War and Navy Departments during the earlier port of the day there was little semblance of the Sabbath. Chiefs of bureaus, olerks, messengers aud telegraph operators were at work. Probably never sinoe the days of the late war have so many olii-! cials gathered at the War and Navy Departments ou a Suuday. Dispatches 1 that came over night regarding the movements of ships, and other matters were received and as many of them re-j quired prompt answers in the present emergency, replies were forwarded. Secretary Long, however, did not appear at the Navy Department during the day, as most of the matters requiring at ten- j tion were those that conld as well be attended to by bureau officers aud tneir assistants. The developments in tbe Cuban situaA _ tion indicate steady progress in the ^ negotiations between the government of this country and that of Spain looking to the maintenance of peace for the present at least. There is good au thority for saviug that Spain's present wish is to secure a cession of hostilities in Cuba, rather tbau to engage in a war with the United States, aud that it is more than probable that the negotiations between the government of the United States and the Sagasta ministry will take that turn in the immediate future. The present Spanish ministry has professed a pacific dispo sition from the beginning, and the indications are strong now that it will avail itself of the cood offices of the United States to the fullost extent that publio opinion in Spain will allow, in bringing to an end the hostilities in C'nba. To what extent the United States may go in assisting Spain in her present design of secunug a:i armistice is not yet determined, but the conservative element in the administration consider the manifestation of this desire oo the part of Spam lor even a temporary peace, a direct result of President Mckinley's diplomacy, and they are naturally disposed to contend that the President should be left free for the present at least to pursue a policy which promises fluch in the way of preventing war betweea this country and Spain, and a!sc ?> of bringing to a close the hostilities in Cuba. Hence there will be an effort on the part of the peacefnlly inclined ic Congress to continue to hold that body in check and to prevent inflammatory utterances there until thia promising diplomatic lead may bo exploited. On the part of the administration, it is stated that the development of the situation will not require a great length of time and hence that there will be no extended delay. A policy has been ful, ly determined upon by the President. It is to bring the Cuban w ar to a close. This will be accomplished by pointed intervention, if necessary, but it is considered far preferable that the end should come as the result of peaceful negotiations, than that it should be accompanied by hostile demonstrations nf T'rtifn/1 Vifofna Wonnn VU IUV Vi kuw V ky?H?vo. the disposition of the President is to give Spain a fair opportunity to secure an armistice with the Cubans, and to allow her a reasonable time in which to come to an understanding with the hostiles. It can be stated upon high authority that there has been no abatement of the President's intention to see that the war is terminated, when it is closed, upon terms that will render the Cubans practically a free people. It is not believed that they would accept anything leBs, or that the Americans would be satisfied if we should encourage a settlement that would not be acceptable to the Cubans. If there should now be an armistice, it would be with the concession made by Spain at the instance of this country, that negotiations should be opened- immediately with the ^ insurgents looking to the establishment of a permanent peace apon these terms. It has long been the hope of the administration to bring > Spain to the point of making preparations of this character, as the basis of a 0 settlement most satisfactory to all parties, and it is hoped from Spain's attitude that this time has arrived. The friends of the administration feel that the situation is a very delicate one, and that much will depend upon the r A 1 , rf- ' { ' I', i course Congress may pursue. In the ' meantime the President will send in | his message asking Hint an appropria' tion be made for the aid of the destitute I Cubans. sI'AIN'S KKPOKT ON T?iK MAINE. i Coming l'ost Haste to Washington by i i\ Special Messenger.

T11K "MA1XK" REPORT. ! Abstract of Ori',(!u.i! Report of the j Hoard of Inquiry. I The Associated Press abstract of the Court of j | Inquiry Report. Copyright, 1*9J, by the j Associated I'res-. The Associated Press presents here- ; ; with a complete abstract of the rci>ort I ami.I r\t ijirtinrv which illVCStlCa- I VI VUO VVUt I, V? J ? nted the wrecking of the battleship Maine. This abstract is made from the report itself, access to which was obtained on the2Ttk, despite official secrecy, unparalleled iu the handling of official papers. The report is made up of eight parts, as follows: First.?The court finds that at the time of the explosion, the battleship Maine was lying in five and one-half to | six fathoms of w ater. Second.?The discipline abcard the ! ship was excellent; everything--am- ' munition, guus, stores, etc.?stowed | according to orders. The temperature i of the magazines at 8 p. m. was normal, I excopt in the after ten-inch magazine, and that did not explode. i Third?The explosion occurred at 9:40o'clock on the evening of February i 15. "There were two explosion,with a I very short interval between them; the i i ship lifted on the first explosion." _ I Fourth?The conrt can form uo definite opinion of the condition of the wreck from the divers evidence. Fifth?From the technical details of wreckage, the court deduces that "a mine was exploded under the ship on the port sike." Sixth?The explosion was due to "no fault of those on board." Seventh?The opinion of the court states that "the explosion of the mine caused the explosion of two magazines." Eighth?'The court declares that it cannot find evidence to fix the responsibility." The report is unanimous and is s'gn- . ed by all the members of the court. It does not refer to the existence or nonexistence of mines in the harbor of Havana except in the specific finding that a mine was exploded under the ship, and the opinion that the explosion of two magazines was caused by the explosion of a mine. The report as a whole is a formal, disI intoinmlo 1-As.ifol r\f fooin nnd lififirs thfl I ... j s>tamj> of that strict officialism which I marks naval procedure. It is brief, not exceeding 1,800 words, and among the , eicht parts, goes to the greatest length | under the second heading, which deals with the discipline and order of the ship. This the court specifies with ex; trema minuteness, the least detuil of the satisfactory condition of everything on board. TO KNFFRCK THE LAW. i The State Board of. Pharmacy Makes ' a Very Plain Announcement. The State Board of Pharmacy met in ! ! Columbia few days since. The board J consists of Dr. Charles E. Burnham, of 1 Charleston; B. B. Loryea, of Manning; ! J. H. Henderson, of Spartanburg; O. Y. Owings, of Columbia; Peter Kobinson, of Newberry, and O. E. Thomas, of Columbia. Five applicants presout; ed themselves for examination. They propose to employ a defective whose duty it shall be to report to the j solicitors of the several circuits for j prosecution any persona found violat- ' ing the law. The opportunity will, i however, be given all persona now in business to prepare for and take the re1 quired examination when the board meets again in Charleston in July next. Those who do not appear at that time for examination will be prosecuted i forthwith. T a? WinneKnrn an^ I O USiKU V . V l/W?* I t? MMWVW.W Charles E. Bagley, of Greenwood, passed. A certificate was granted Jno. Quincy Philips, of Beaufort, upon the ' presentation of his diploma from the the Maryland College of Pharmacy.

CAPT. CllILUd KOK GOVKKXOO. lie Will Probably Be the Prohibition* 1st Candidate. Capt L. D. Childs, if his health will ! permit, will bo the Prohibitionist nom" | iuee for governor. This information i was gotten from a well known Prohibi| tioaist leader, says the State. He furI ther said that the convention which | meets in Columbia ou April 14th would j put u full ticket in tue neia. Kepresentative J. A. McCullough, of : Greeuville, has been spoken of as the Prohibitionist nominee for lieutenant governor. Ho has accepted an invitation to address a Charleston mass meeting on the liquor question. Mr. McCullough said he was undecided as to whether he would be a candidate for lieutenant governor. The man who told the teachers that the public school system should be adjusted to the needs of the masses rather than to fitting Individuals for higher institutions of learning deserves credit for announcing his discovery.^ He should not copyright his discovery, since It would be a great thing for the n state if it could be. adopted. / t Siiwilii Attorney-General's Opinion on Taking Insane Charged With Crime. THEREGENTSWISHEDTOKNOW: What the Law is in Regard to Method of Unloading Such I'eople ou the Institution. The following opinion from the At- [ torney-Cienernrs office as to the im- i portant matter of tho admission of j criminals to the hospital for the insane was received by the authorities of the institution: Dr. J. 11'. liabcock, Superintend' nt i Hospital for the Insane, Columbia, s. a Dkau Sir:?Your communication, in which you Fa}*, "I am directed by tho board of regents to ask your opinion in the matter of the jurisdiction of judges of probate in cases of persons under in- j dictment for, or accused of crime," has 1 been received, and lias had attention. You also ask the question, "Whether 6uch cases should not be referred to one of the circuit judges before they j can properly be committed to the ho> pital?" Tho statutes of this State confer jurisdiction upon probate judges to commit ; persona to the hospital for the insane, when prerequisites are complied with. Section 1180 of the revised statutes of 18:13 also proves: "Any judge of the circuit court is authorized to Bend to the asylum every person charged with the commission of any criminal offense who shall, upon the trial beforo him prove to be non compos mentis, and the said judge is authorized to make all necessary orders to carry into effect this power. Where the person so sent is not a pauper he shall be supported out of his ; own estate, according to the regulations to l>e prescribed by the court, on a writ de lunatico inquirendo." Section 1881 of revised statutes is as follows: "It shall be the duty of the regencyl to admit as subjects of the institution I all idiots, lunatics and epileptics, be CLRMSOX TEX The above cut represents the new Textile Training Department of Clemsor designs for a cotton factory and will hav chinerv in operation for teaching the pre iug citizens of this State, according to tho following regulations, and subject to the following conditions, that is to say: "1. All persons who shall be found lupatics or idiots jbv inquisition from the probate or circuit courts, or on trials in the circuit where the court shall order such admission." The Supreme Court of this State has held in the case of Walker vs. Rusell, 10 8. C., 82, in constructing this section that probate and circuit courts have concurrent jurisdiction. When there are courts of concurrent jurisdiction the rule is, the court first acquiring jurisdiction can maintain it to the exclusion of the other court. When a person is accused of crime, and committed by a magistrate to jail for trial in the court of general sessions that conrt then acquires jurisdiction and the probate court cannot exercise its concurrent jurisdiction. In addition to this, section 1785 expressly gives to the circuit judge the power to send to the asylum persons in jail, accused of crime, when upon trial they are proved to be non compos mentis. It would seem, then, that the probate jndge would have .no power to send such persons to the State hospital for the insane. If he has jurisdiction to declare such insane, according to law, then dearly he would not have the power to send them without authority of a circuit judge. Very respectfully yours, m \j. r. lowssMy, " Assistant Attorney-General. The Privilege Tax. The privilege tax receipts have been falling off somewhat lately, but it is probable that the gross receipts will be muoh iu excess of those of last year. The total received last year was nearly $60,000. The total amount received in 1808, up to the 19th, was $66,000, against $51,600 for the same time last year. Following is an itemized estimate of the receipts for the past few days: On March 14th, $876; on the 16th. $11.62; 17th, $487; 18th, $430;19th, $800; 21st^$182.50; on the 22d and 23d, 81,056. xne total 101 JUis yvmr YTut average at least $5,000 more than last year. All of this magnificent sum will be devoted to Clemson College, aa prescribed by law. Many Selling Liquor. The State dispensary authorities have sent up to the United States revenne office and obtained a complete list of the peoplo in this State holding United States retail liquor licenses at this time. The list shows that there are 491 such licenses outstanding. Charlestonians held a good proportion of them. These figures are exclusive of the licenses hold by the county dispensaries and it is said represent the number of original package and blind tiger people in the State. i / V 4 ' * -? > * / ' I r - . . f SEND IN TIIE DOCU3IENTS.

The following items are culled from the News and Courier's correspondents at the following points: Spartanburg. There was a singular case in court here. It was not exactly the two Promios, for there was only one of them present. Ed H. Smith has been at I'acolet Milts for some time. A ; few days ago he was arrested on the charge of stealing $235 from a man named Morrison, in Abbeville county, j He was released, having established the fact that he was at Pacolet when the money was taken from Mr. Morrison , over near the Savannah river. The prosecution was not satisfied. Two constables came with another warrant. Smith was arrested again. Another writ of habeas corpus was issued, and I y l hi \..f lie was urou^ui ueiure .un^isnai^ Gunter and Kir by. Witnesses from Abbeville made oath that he was the man. Mr. Hay, with whom he boarded at Pacolet, swore that Smith was board- j ins: with him at.the time the theft was committed. The books of the Pacolet Cotton Mills showed that he was on TILK SCHOOL. building that has been designed for the l College, S. C. It is modeled after tho e, besides the class rooms, cotton majoeases practically. their roll at that time. Various good men sworo that Smith was at Pacolet, and had not left. The only explanation is that Smith has a brother that is very much like him, and that the witnesses are simply mistaken. The Pacolet Smith is free again. Columbia. It is thought likely by tho State officials that the question as to the right of tho State board of control to make the purchase of the Ilobertscn warehouse for the new quarters for tho State dispensary will very shortly reach tho Attorney-General's office in some form, i In the last few days there has been < considerable public discussion over the right of the board to make this pur- j chaso in the light of the constitutional' provision as to the school fund and the profits. The authorities are expecting the issne to be made. Ilamntnn ! Corn planting is being generally pushed throughout this county? Nothing further has been heard regard- j ing the snspicious characters in Colum-, bir, supposed to be connected with the robbery here. Sellers, Marlon County. The opponents of the new county of Pee-Dee, at Marion, have employed Mr. Joseph Brunson, of Florence, to resnrvey the lines run by Capt. Stoney.with a view, it is supposed, to show thaA there is not the constitutional area in the proposed new county. Mr. Brunson, with a force of handB, is now engaged in the work. Graham Inspects Our Forts. Brigadier General William Graham, commanding the department of the gulf, and Lieut S. Reber and Lieut G. F. Barney were in Charleston on the 24th, and inspected the fortifications of the harbor. The report of Gen. Graham will be forwarded to Washington. This is Gen. Graham's first visit to the new forts and the inspection required much time. The officers and men of the garrison were also inspected.?Charleston correspondent Columbia State. Thrown From Wagon and Killed. Mr. Frank Bogus, of Mullins, Marion county, was thrown from a wagon, drawn by a runaway horse, and instantly killrd. The Ohlef Clerk Chosen. Comptroller General Derham has at last chosen his chief clerk. The lucky man is Mr. T. B. Clyburn of Lancaster. Mr. Clybnrn will, it is understood, assume the duties of his office in a few days. He succeeds the present comptroller in this position. Mr. Clyburn filled the unexpired term of his fatheras auditor of Lancaster county with much credit to himself, He is a well known young cotton buyer.?The [?tate I i f V . ?*>; ' .V?$ Iflll Iff MISTER. Assistant Attorney-General Construes the Act IMPORTANT TO SUPERVISORS. When Offices Must be Held Open During the Present Year Preceding the Fall Elections. Owing to the fact that he has been receiving many inquiries as to when the State registration books shall be kept opon by the new boards of supervisors under the registration law, Secretary of State Tomnkins. after an absence of some days, referred to the attorneygeneral's office and asked for an opinion clearly defining the law. This opinion was given a3 follows and is of pavticular concern to registration officers and voters alike: Columbia, S. C., March 21, 1898. Hon. D. A. Tompkins. Dear Sir:?The letter of W. A. Nesbitt referred to this office has had attention. i Section 7 of the act of 1893 provides . that after the general election in 1396 ! the books shall be kept>open for three ruccessive days in each month until thirty days before the general election of 1898. It then provides, "after each succeeding general election, the registration hooks shall be opened on the ; first Monday in each month nntil thirty days preceding any general election. " i It seems clear from these provisions that the books of registration for the ! year 1698 must be kept open for three : days until thirty days before the eleo| tion, and that after each general election, succeeding the general election of 1898, they are to be kept open on the first Monday in each month. I am of the opinion therefore that the books should be opened on the first Monday in each month during the year 1898, and kept open for three days uni til thirty days before the general election in i898. Very respectfully yours, 0. P. Town-send, Asst. Atty. Qen. STATE MILITIA. Gen. Watts' Views as to Its Relations to the U. it. Authorities. On the night of the 21st, according to the Columbia State, Adjutant General | Watts received a telegram from the I New York Herald asking his opinion as I to the authority of the President of the United States over the militia of the different States in time of war and asking his opinion as to whether the President could call upon them to form a part of the Federal forces for the purpose of eending them ontside the conntry as well as to repel invasion; his opinion was also desired as to whether an attempt to seud the militia to Cuba wonld meet with any such opposition from the militia as in 1812, when the question was raised; the message concluded with a request for an opinion as to the bill introduced in Congress to ; give the President absolute power over | the State militia forces without waiting apon the Govornors to act Gen. Watts read the message carefully aud then wrote out the following reply which will be of especial interest to the State's volunteer troops: "In my opinion the President may make his* requisition npon the Governor of the State or upon the militia , officers directly. I believe in all cases be should call first upon the Governor. I The militia are first of all State troops | and I do not believe it is the intention j of the constitution that they can b? : called upon to form a part of the Fedi eral forces for the purpose of sending I lioi-nnd tli? linnUrs of the j Cnited States. It would be preju' dicial to the interests of this State for I the militia, as au organized body, to I bo ordered to Cuba, but should a call for volunteers be made a large propor| tion of the militia would respond at j the first call. "Realizing the power of the Fresii dent given now by law I think auy j bill giving the President absolute power to call upon the militia directly without waiting for the Governor to | act, unnecessary." Decision Against the Governor. The case of the Governor's suspension of the cllrk of court, W. R. Bullock, of Abbeville, was argued here by Assistant Attorney-General Townsend and Mr. William N. Graydon on behalf of Mr. MoMillan, the Governor's appointee, and by Messrs. Ellis G. Graydon and Frank B. Gary on behalf of Mr. Bullock. Judge Klugh, who heard the case, decided that the Governor had no authority to remove the olerk at this time. The grand jury may act on the case again in June. Start for the Klondike. A nartv of Charleston men headed by David McMillan and W. M. Leonard, two very popular and well known oiticena, started for the Klondike gold regions on the 16th. Tbey expect to reach the gold regions by the middle of May at the furthest and when they come I back they propose to bring some fine samples of the dust they raised in that fine country. Messrs. Leonard and McMillan have been preparing for the trip for some time and have their plans fully and carefully made. They left via the South Carolina and Georgia Railroad and will go by way of Atlanta, Cincinnati, Chicago, St Paul and then take the Canadian Pacific for Vancouver, from this point going by steamer to Alaska. Palmetto Chips. The Secretary of State has issued a commission to the Palmetto Building and Loan Association of Spartanburg. Col. T. J. Lipscomb has been elected mayor of Columbia over Mayor Sloan, the present incumbent, who has held the office for two terms. Lipscomb's majority was 227 votes. Work on the jetties at Georgetown has been begun. An appropriation of 82,000,000 was made for deepening the bar in Winyah bay and removing deposits or shoals at the month of rivers entering into same. * Z \ i r * ' I ~J ruplls are'condncfeJ flbongh many! > ; ?E "ologles" and introdhced to many 'Ptfm "Isms," bat they are not well grounded In the three or fonr primary matter* of an English education.
