Mad the Baby on the Train—Was a Mean Looking Per- sonage. The police have a good clue to the identity of the man who left the two months old boy baby at the home of Mr. S. P, Ragsdale, on North Tenth street, yesterday morning, The man was white. Dr. R. A, Hicks and Col, Thomas Corbett were both on the train yes- terday morning when the man entered the smoker. He entered the car soon after the ‘‘cannon-ball’’ left Fulton, and they believe be boarded the train there. In appearance he was sbabbily dressed, wore a slouch hat, big shoes, and was clean shaven, without beard. He had what these Paducah gentle- men consider a forbidding face. He seemed to be about 24 years old. He took a seat in the cushion back of Dr. Hicks. The baby was attired in a neat looking white dress, wore a », and was quiet un- til the train reached Mayfield, Then it began howling. ‘The man gave it a sugar teat, and tried to lull it back to sleep. He was tender enough to the infant, but they couldu’t get over his sinister face. Dr. Hicks finally asked the man if he thought the baby was sick, He said that there ‘‘was nothing the anatier with him,’ Finally Col. Corbett asked the man where the lady's mother was, nid it is understood be replied ‘in Pa,tucab,”* although Dr. Hicks heard ~ jil-humored growl. * nat Jeft the smoker when the ‘ small hood, or ¢ only a The ma May Be Bought By the United States This Week---We Have Options, TWO SQUADRONS BEINC FORMED.

A squadron is being formed at Hampton Roads and another will be formed immedi- ately in New York harbor, It is believed that all preparations have been made for intervention in bebalf of Cuba nearest to the President claim this to will not be The government next week.

If these ordinary chan- nels were followed, it would be some time before action could be obtaired on the report, but owing to the ex- traordinary nature of the affair, or- ders have been transmi-.ted all along the hne to expedite the delivery of the important document to the Presi- dent, and it is quite possible that the intermediate officers may be over- looked entirely, leaving the formali- ties to be complied with after the President has received a copy of the formal finding. ‘There is semi-ofMicial authority for the statement that President McKin- ley has finally made vp his mind to the effect that the condition of pub- lic {sentiment is such that delays would be dangerous, It is expected that he will transmit ,the report al- most immediately to congress, with a message, the character of which will be based upon the finding of the board. The expectation is, there- fore, that by next Wednesday the country will be placed in possession of the official decision as to how the Maine was blown up, and at the same time congress will be supplied with the views ef the president regarding demand upon Spain for an indem- nity if it should be justified, He is also likely within an extremely short tie, so cautious officials say, to de- velop rapidly his plan of intervention ‘There is a belief at the state depart- ment that if the report of the board clearly shows any measure of liability on the part of Spain the Sagasta gov- ernment wil! agree to pay the indem- ni.y, provided it continues in power. ‘The Spanish elections will be held Friday of next week, and it is pretty certain that if the Sagasta ministry secures a working majority in the Cortes, it will agree to the indemnity proposal after a certain amount of diplomatic dickering. On the other hand, of course, if the elections go against them the Sagasta ministry will retire sooner or later, the Weyler- ites will be in the saddle and the prospects of war will become im- mediately evident. Iv is a well known fact that Pre- wier Sagasta personslly knows that Cuba is lost to Spain forever, and that while he would not be disposed to give up the straggle, he would | probably ignore the president's recog- It is opealy admitted in Havana that war will be declared by April 1.
