The certainty that a fleet of torpedo boats is on the way to Cuba and preparations are being made to send a couple of battleships and a few more cruisers this way makes the Spaniards boastful of Spaio’s naval superiority. The ease with which the Maine was destroyed is confirmation of this opinion, and the presence in the harbor of the armored cruisers and battleships alongside the Fern and Mangrove iacrease the feeling of insecurity and belief that Spanish outrages would meet with no serious rebuke.

Mr. Bryan was ques- tioned as to his views on the Cannon appropriation, and euid: “I am glad the house acted promptly and unanimously. In fact, it might have been better to make it ahunodred millions to show the world that congress and the Ameri can people, without regard to polit ical differences, are ready to support the administration in any action nec- eseary for the protection of the honor and welfare of the nation. Tbe appropriation does not nec- esearily mean war. A prompt liber- ality at this time may lessen the probability of war and in the end prove wise ecovomy. I never be- lieved that the recognition of bellig erency would result in war, but in the present crisis it is useless to dis- cuss what might have been.

Havane, via Key West Fla., March 10.—Capt. Gen. Blanco and his so- called liberal Cabinet have decided to revive the methods which Gen. Weyler so hateful, and terror prevails now in the Cuban cities as much as in the daya when that butcher deliberately carried out his plan of exterminating the inhabitants of this island. Now as then law- abiding citizens are taken cut of their homes in the middie of the night and brought into dungeons in Morro Castle and Cabanxas. The correspondent knows on the beet authority, that Chief of Police Paglicra bas received a long list of persons who are to be gradually im prisoned for alleged participation in | the revolutionary movement. Cuban refugees who returned to the island | made after the establishment autonomy, | and have refused openly to support the new regime, are closely watched by the polies and the arrest of sev- | eral of them is said to be immicent. At the lest Cabinet council the secretaries discussed the advisability of expelling a!l American correspond | ents from the island. A decision to that effect was reached, but it is possible that it will not be enforced for fear of adding to the existing compheitions with Usited Stites. | There is not one American corre- spondent on really goed terms with | the Spanish authorities. | One of the men srrested Saturday | is charged with making the dynamite bombs which have recently exploded in this city. The man confessed to| having made some bombs, but this, he said was by order of Governor Perrua in 1996. He did not know for what purpose | Perrua wanted the bombs when he made them but Jater found out that they were used as evidence against some of the men who were transfer | ed to Chaffirness Island.

Mo., March 10.—The question of the right of a peliceman ofacity of the third class to make arrests as ex-officio township con- stable wes decided in the negative by Judge George F. Longan in the Pettis County Circuit Court to-day, when he ordered the release of John Stinson from the county jail under a writ of habeas corpus. The action was instituted by Constable Thomas G. Price, who claimed that his duties were being interfered with by Chief of Police L. H. Chas. Stinson was arrested by a member of the Sedalia city police force on the charge of a misdemeanor, taken be- fore a justice of the peace and, upon conviction, sent to jail. Application of habeas corpus was was Sedalia, shortly after Stinson lodged in jail. The decision of Judge Lengan means that a police officer bas no right to step outside of his municipal duties and atsume the functions of a state officer.
