Mr. Jones has just returned from an extended tour of the North and West, during which be made great progress in his revival work, He claims he tas lad this move under considera- tion fer along time, and has been heeping & keen eye on the gaberne{orial situation, He saw what he beieved to be a good open- ing, and took a.!vantage of it.

Behind him be believes he will find the great bulk of the American people, Everything will depend upon the outcome of the Maine disaster, if it be proven to be an accident the administration will recognize the belligerency of the Cu- bans, giving sufficient time for the excitement of the present incident to pass, Whether the disaster of the Maine proves to be the result of an accident or of foul play, the president cannot resist the will of the people longer. The question bas got to be settled, and settled in bis administration, and for political reasons alone he would not permit the Spaniards to again conquer the island, The feeling here is cooling down toa calm and deliberate judgment that the Maine was blown up by a torpedo, Whether the torpedo went off by accident or not is an open question to the minds of most peo- ple. Constructor Hichborn said Satur- day: “It may be possible to prove that the Maine was not blown up by torpedo, but it will be impossible to prove that it was blown up by an accident, resulting from carclessness of our own officers. Nothing short of a complete substantiation of whe accidental theory will ever satisfy the American people. ~ CUBA LIBRE, Feeling Growing That Some Action Must Be Taken at Once. ashingten, Feb, 21.—The feel becoming general here that some action must be taken in” behalf of Cuba and that too at once, This feeling 18 increased by the growing impression that the loss of the battle- ship Maine was not due to. an acci- dent.

Be Shipped This Afternoon to Gloversville Hard - Hearted Relent- Brother Finally ed, One of the most daring robberies of recent years, and one equaled only by the Torian robbery one week ago, was committed at the bordillo kept by Maud Bell, on West Court street, yesterday morning about 4:5 o'clock. A negro broke in @ window, and first went to Madame Bell's room, He roused her from he slumbers, and demanded her money and rings Uhreatening to blow her head off if she resisted or made any outery. He stuck a big pistol in close imity to her head to enfor sire. He then compelled her to get up, unlock a drawer, and give him $10she had there. He also took a $45 diamond ring, but missed getting one worth $150 by the prompt action of his victim, who dropped the ring to the floor, unperceived by the rob- ber. He then warned her to give no alarm, and proceeded to the rooms of two of the inmates, aud demandea their money, but failing to get any made them take off their rings. He looked dver them and decided he did not want any of them and gave them back. The police are confident the rob- her was wholly familiar not only with the house and its inmates, but with the time the police go off duty and other things, He seemed to know just where to go, first taking the precaution to turn out the lights, Several young men had been there, but left only a short time before the robber arrived. He was evidently watching them, also. The police go off duty about clock in the worn- ing, and the beats are then unpatrol- ed until 6 or 7 o'clock, George Goodman, colored, former- ly a hotel porter, was arrested tiver Hoyer on suspicion, and is in the lockup. Up to this afternoon three differ- ent colored mev bad been arrested on suspicion by the police, but none had been identified at press time.
