LEXINGTON, S. C..
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 180S.
Much of our space is given up this
week to the Dews of the strained re.
lations between this Government and
that of Spain. Heretofore we have
paid bat little attention to all tne so
called news which has filled the col
umns of the press daily since the unfortunate
destruction of the warship
Maine, because none of it was authentic
and, therefore, net reliable.
The President has clearly indicated
his policy in reference to his dealing
with Spain in this emergency. He
will make no demand upon Spain for
indemnity until public opinion becomes
more settled, treating the destruction
of the vessel as an incident
only. In this bis position is a preeminenly
proper and correct one. His
policy for the present will be conciliatory*
going as far as it is consistent
with the nation's honor to preserve
the peace. There is an undercurrent
all through his talk with bis friends
and advisers in both political parties
that has a deeper significance fcban
that which appears on the surface.
It seems to us that it is the fixed
determination of the President to
force Spain to end the war in Cuba,
by peaceful means if possible or by
a declaration of war if necessary.
After declaring that the Maine
was blown up by the explosion of a
mine and that the first explosion was
from the outside, the court of icquiiy
failed to fix the responsibility for the
destruction of the Maine upon Spain.
The situation can be summed up as
being very grave and critical.
Mr. T. A. McCreery, a prominent
and successful dry goods merchant
of Columbia, died in that city Thursday,
in the 76th year of his age, after
sufieriog for three months with a
complication of diseases. He was
an enterprising and energetic citizen
and took a keen and active interest
in the develoDment of his adopted
city and much of the progress made
by her in the past bears the impress
of his indominable energy and wise
counsels.
It is thought that Rear Admiral
Montgomery Sicard, who has been
in command of the North Atlantic
squadron, will be retired on account
of the precarious state of his health.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
?
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is cau e 1
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrb, wincb is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucousurs, faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

The March winds have informed

Mr. Henry Steel was seen in this
icinifcy Thursday.
Some of our leading farmers have
been planting corn the past week.
The weather is somewhat cooler
and more pleasant for farm work.
Messrs. J. W. Croat and Edwin
Shealy have made a recent purchase
of each a blood hound.
Mr. George C. Sbirey celebrated
x his 48th birth day on the 23rd of
March, and his loving wife, wishing
"" to give him a joval time, had a
regular old time quilting. When
noon came it was a pleasure to eat
of all the good things that those well
skilled hands had prepared.
We are sad to iearn that Mrs. T. I.
Warner who has been very ill for
some time, died at her home Saturday
morning. Mrs. Warner was one
of nature's gentlewomen and was
faithful in the discbarge of her wifely
and Christian duties and delighted
in accomplishing good works in the
alleviation of the sorrows of the distressed
and the sufferings and pains
of the afflicted. In her death the
community has lost a sincere friend j
and her husband a devoted and af j
fectiooate helpmate.

The report is made up of eight j
paits, as follows:
1. The court finds that at the i
time of the explosion the battleship j
Maine was lying in five and one-half
to six fathoms of water.
2. The discipline aboard the ship
was excellent; everything stowed ac
cording to orders?ammunition, guns,
stores, etc. The temperature of the
magazines at 8 p. m. was normal except
iu the 10 inch magazine, and
that did not explode.
3. The explosion occurred at 9:40
o'clock on the evening of February
15. There were two explosions, with
a very short interval between them;
the ship lifted on the first explosion.
I 4. The court can form no definite
opinion of the condition of the wreck
| from the divers' evidence.
5. Technical details of wreckage
| from which the court deduces that
a mine was exploded under the ship
on the port side.
6. The explosion was due to no
fault of those on board.
7. Opinion of the court stating that
the explosion of the mine caused the
* #4 v _ i
explosion 01 ine iwo magaziues.
8. The court declares that it can
not find evidence to fix responsibility.
The report is unanimous and is
signed by all the members of the
court. It does not refer to the existence
or non existence in the harbor
of Habanna, except in the finding,
that a mine was exploded under the
ship, and the opinion that the explosion
of the magazines was caused by
the explosion of a mine.
The report as a whole is a formal,
dispassionate recital of facte, and
bears the stamp of that strict officialism
which marks naval procedure. It
is brief, not exceeding 1,800 words,
and araoDg the eight parts goes to
the greatest length under the second
heading, which deals with the discipline
and older of the ship. This the
court specifies with extreme minuteness,
the least detail of the management
of everything on board being
given. The normal temperature of
the large forward magazines at 8
o'clock, only an hour and forty minutes
before the explosions, disposes
of the question of accidental combustion
within these magazines. While
the court holds that these magazines
did not explode from internal causes
they nevertheless are of the opinion
that the explosion of the mine under
the port side of the ship caused the
explosion of the two magazines. This
will explain the remarkable destruction
wrought, the explosion thus
beiDg shown to have combined the
force of the mine without and the
i two magazines within.
The explosions which the court
| finds to have occurred with a very
| short interval between them, is an
j additional detail, showing that two
! ^AHnco nnoroto/1 in nancinrr fVlQ da.
I 1 \JL w ^;v?l U LVVi IU V 1.1V VI V
| structioo. The finding that the ship
lifted on the first explosion indicates
an external source and one of tremendous
power to be able to lift a battleship
of thousands of tons.
The character of the wreckage,
technically described in the fifth part
j of the report, from which the court
! deduces that a mine was exploded
| under the ship3 on the port side,
| sustains the view taken by some exj
perts shortly after the disaster that
; the force of the explosion was exerted
I from poit to starboard.
The feature of the report of deep!
est interest to the navv, is the com
j plete exoneration of Cipt. Sigsbee
| and all on board, contained in the
second finding, setting forth the per|
feet order and discipline prevailing
| on the ship, and that directly stated
! in the sixth finding, which declares
| the disaster to be due to no fault of
! those on board.
The inability of the court to find
| evidence to fix the responsibility, as
| stated in the eighth part, makes the
report so guarded in expression of
blame that neither Spain nor the
Spanish are mentioned throughout.
TUE PRESIDENTS POLICY.
"Washington, March 20 ?President
McKinley talked freely with his con
gressional visitors today both in rei
gard to his plans for the future and
his appreciation of the situation with
reference to Cuba. His programme
! as thus outlined is as follows:
The President indicated to hiscall|
ers an abiding faith that peace still
! may be preserved and a determina!
tion on his part to accomplish that
j end if it may be done with honor to
> our own country and without disre!
garding the demands of humanity,
i He frankly and repeatedly averred
I today his desire to prevent conflict,

Young girls suffer a vast amount of unnecessary
pain and misery for lack of frank
and confidential instruction about their own
physical selves.
The special weaknesses and diseases incident
to woman's organic development are
completely and permanently remedied by
the "Favorite Prescription" prepared by
Dr. R. V*. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute j
of Buffalo. N. Y.
I More than qo.ooo cases of obstinate female |
difficulties have been absolutely cured by
i this wonderful "Prescription." It heals,
strengthens and completely rejuvenates the
| tissues and nerve-centers of the feminine
organism. It is the only medicine devised
for this special purpose by a regularly
graduated experienced physician. It is the
one authorized preparation which may be
I positively relied upon to cure.

Miss Kuith Cain, of Clinton. Allegheny Co..
Pa , writes; "i take pleasure in expressing my
faith in your 'Favorite Prescription.' After two
years of suffering I began taking Dr. Pierce's
medicine and now I am entirely cured. I had
been troubled with female weakness for some
time and also with a troublesome drain on the
system, but now I am happy and well. _ I will
cheerfully recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre*
tcription'to all invalid ladies."
while at the same time indicating a
firm purpose to secure relief for the
starving recocentrados. Indeed, the
latter puipose appealed to be the J
topic uppermost in the President's
mind. He dwelt upon the fact that I
recognition of belligerent rights or
of indenc-ndence would not be of any
t - ,
material service to these unfortunates.
He admitted that such action
might be of assistance to the men at
arms, the insurgent army, but they,
i he said, have shown a capacity to
take care of themselves and do not
stand in pressing need of our kind
offices. The President believes Spain
will interpose no obstacles to our
sending succor to her indigent people,
and he will ask congress to act
promptly that the aid to be givfn
may not arrive too late to relieve the
present pressing necessities.
This done, the President is hopeful
that congress will remain quiet
while the executive branch of the
government continues its efforts to
secure a peaceful settlement of the
difficulty. He thinks it is not too
late to do this, and he made the assertion
today that Spain was willing
to meet the United States half way
in adjusting the entanglement without
coming to blows. He referred
only casually to the sailing of the
| Spanish torpedo fleet, leaving the
I impression oa the minds of his visb
| tors that he considered that so far in
I
this matter Spain is acting within
the bounds of her own rights and
that no jest comprint can yet be
made by this country in regard to
this course.
He did not enter into details re
| gardiDg the proposition he may make
J or may have made to Spain, for un

i he left the impression that he would
! be satisfied with no set'.lement that
would not give the Cubans a very
liberal form of government. He admitted
frankly that autonomy had
proved a failure, and expressed the
| opinion that it would be as difficult
j to satisfy the Americans with any
| settlement that might be made as it
| would be to satisfy the Cubans themj
selves. He reasserted the possibility
j of securing an agreement on the part
I of Spain to allow Cuba to conduct
j her own affairs with absolute freedom
I except that the island should be
; required to pay the mother country
i a specified sum in the way of tribute
j every year out of her revenues, seem
; ing to think that this would form a
; basis upon which both Spain and the
! CnhflTis mnld arrrne without the Kami
j fice of too much pride on either side.
Mr. Mc Kin ley reverted often in his
conversation to his desire to maintain
peace, and dwelt upon the fact
! that war meant not only the loss of
life and property, but that it also
j would injure our commerce, disturb
business conditions generally, increase
| our public debt, add to our pension
} roll and result iu many ways to our
j disadvantage and distress. He also
made it clear that whatever course he
might pursue in the future he would
i not at present demand any indent
j nityat the hands of Spain for the
! loss of the Maine, prefening to leave
j that matter to the adjustment of a
! more quitt period. The President

! with other nations, but did not ruanij
fest uneasiness on this score.
Senators who have visited the

! conditions and have told him that

WHAT THE SPANIARDS SAY.
"Washington, March 28 ?A full
sjnopsis of the report of the Spanish
naval commission which investigated
the destiuction of the battleship
Maine is here given by the Asso
PiAts Tt- in Liken from a
copy of the original report, which is
now on its way hero from Havana,
the s>n psis being cabled in the
meantime and today placed in the
hands of this government.
The conclusions reached are directly
opposite to those in the report tf
the court of inquiry submitted to
Congress txhiy. The synopsis is as
follows:
' The report contains declarations
made by ocular witnesses and experts.
From these statements it
cleaily deduces and proves the absence
of all those attendant circumstances
which are invariably present
on the occasion of the explosion of a
torpedo.
"The evidence of witnesses comparatively
close to the Maine at the
moment is to the died that only one
explosion occurred; that no column
* ' n *? l _ ii..
oi waier was inrowu iluu me mi:
that no shock to the side of the nearj
est vessel was felt, nor on land was
auy vibration noticed, and that no
dead fi-h were found.
"The evidence of the sen'ar pil A
of the harbor states that there is
abundance of fish in the harbor, and
this is corroborated by other witnesses.
The assistant engineer states
that after explosions mide during
the execution of Works in the harbor
he has always found dead fish.
"The divcr3 were unable to examine
the bottom of the Maine which
was buried iu the mud, but a careful
examination of the sides of the ves
sel, the rents and 'breaks in which
all point outward, show without a
daubt that the explosion was from
the inside.
"A minute examination of the bottom
of tbe harbor around the vessel
shows absolutely^, no sign of the
action of a torpedo and the fiscal
/inrlcro orlvrtPaf/^ nf tho mm missifitt
can find no precedent for the explosion
of the storage magazines of a
vessel by a torpedo.
"The report makes clear that owing
to the-special nature of the proceedings
allowed and the absolute
respect shown for the extra-teni
tonal position of the Maine, the com
mission has been prevented from
making such an examination cf the
inside of the vessel as would determine
even the hypothesis the internal
origin of the accident. This is to be
attributed to the regretable refusal
to permit of the necessary co operation
of the Spanish commission both
with the commander and crew of the
Maine and the different American
officials commissioned to investigate
the causes of the accident, and later
on with those employed in salvage
wcik.
"The report finishes by stating
that an examination of the inside and
outside of the Maine, as soon as such
examination may be possible, as also
of the bottom where the vessel rests
will prove that, supposing the re
mains (of the wreck) not to be totally
or partially altered iu tho process of
extraction, the explosion was undoubtedly
due to some interior cause."
NEGOTIATIONS WITH SPAIN.
London, March 29.?The Madrid
orrespondent of the Daily Mail gives
a version of the negotiations between
United States Minister Woodford and
the Spanish Cabinet last week differing
scmewhat from that given yesterday
by the Standard's Madrid correspondent.
He says:
"The note which General "Woodford
presented on Wednesday was of
comminatory nature. It demanded
that Spain put an end to the war in
Cuba immediately, recapitulating the
damage done to American interests,
and further hinting that the war was
a danger to the public health of the
United States, the continual smuggling
between the coasts of Cuba

AN ENERGETIC REPLY.
"Spain's reply was energelic. It
declares that the war would have
been ended long ago but for the
material and moral help and support
the rebels were contiuually receiving
from the United States. The Spanish
note complains of the policy followed
by the United States in demanding
from Spain the termination
of a war which the United States
were virtually maintaining by the
presence of a squadron in the neighborhood
of Cuba and by organizing
succor for the reconceutrados in a
manner that would be offensive to
