RUMORS OF WAR.

THE SITUATION IN HAVANA.

SENATOR PROCTOR’s VIEWS IN CUBA.

Great Activity inthe Naval Yards

Sunday Preparations

Warships.

Havana, (via Key West, Fla ), March 7. -—As the conviction becomes settled thata ourt of inquiry will decide that there was @ mine expiosion under the Maine, deci- sion among American naral officers aud civilians bere is preyaleat asto the war- }\ke measures which it is believed the United States Governmeat will adopt ia case the payment of indemnity by Spain is overruled. A majority believe that American troops will be laaded at some poiat eavtof Havaur,and the insurgents ‘communicated with, that the Spanish eoldiery will be defeated or captured in

| detail, and that in the meantime a fleet of

Tnired States vessels will blockade, if not bombard, Havana. No one seems to coubt thatthe reduetion of the eity would be comyaratively easy. Four 12-inch weet and two east of the city—

the cuiy cones that are considered das s, These are not likely to be well servea, Wvile their emplacements are no’ medern.

Thai Sone Spaniards are of the opinion that an attack on Havana will be made is believed to be shown by the abnormal ac-~ tivity displayed on board the Vizacaya. This correspondant has the beret naval authority for the statement that the Vizcaya is in & constant siate of readiness for emergencies, an’ that packrt boats are op the alert day aud night inside the har bour and outside. It 1s pointed out that the men-of war Vizcayaand Admirante Ocnendo might be caught in a blockale and fal] an easy prey toa United States flect. Theeruniser Alfonso XII. is with- out boilers and would be of no account,

The couduct of the Spanish divers who are investigating the wreck ofthe Maine isa mystery. Thue farthey have not been down five hours in the aggregate, and show to dixposition to makea thorough inquiry. It is impossible to learn the truth fully regarding the purpose of the Spanish court of inguiry, but it is generally beliewed thatthe divers were sent down for form’s sake only,andthata report will be made in accordance with instruct- one from Madrid. It may be that the Spanish divers have discovered that the whole port side of the Maine forward is gone, and having so reported, further exainination is deemed unnecessary. The work of oar own divers hencefo-ward is bound to be slow, owingto the ponderous weights to be moved, snd the safety camps, nuts and rivets that must be cut.

Senator Procter is lhkely to make a speects in the Senate on bie return that will have great weight in determing the future policy of the United States. He is much affected by the suffering that he tound in Matanzas, and highly indignant at what he callsthe “inhumanity of the course pursued.” During a visit to Ar- temisa he saw thousands of Recontradvoea who refused to beg, though starving. They were evidently of the class accustomed to make its own living and unwilling to be- come puupers. He saw thousands of acres of the best tobacco and banana lande in the world reduced to waste, with trochas aud garrisons at every villageand cross road. His drivers, pointing to the mountain fif- teen miles away, said : “There are plenty of insurgents caraps there that the Spauish have never d'scovered.”

The work of distributing Amer can relief upder Miss Clara Barton, Mr. Elwell and their assistants is, in Senator Proctor’s judgement, carefully and effectively carried on. Thademand is far in excees of the supply. The supplies expected at Matanzas and Sagua LaGrande, to be brought down by American cruisers, will afford unspeakable relief.

Now that the Almirante Qquendo and Vizeaya are lying in the harbor the Spaniards exultingly declare that the city is safe, and it is given out officially in the the newspapers that the new arrival is of the eame giz2, armament and complement asthe Vizcaya.

Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive and an- other not? The most admirable and at- tractive thing about an attraetive woman is ber womaniiness. Kverybody admires & womanly women, She must have heal h of course, becauee without it she would lose the brightness of ber eyer, the fulluess of he-cheek and her vivacity. Real bealth must mean thata women is really a woman. That she is strong and perfect in a sexual way as well as in every viher. That the is capable of performing perfectly the duties of maternity. Some ‘women. are bora with what is called ‘constitational weak- ness.” Those whodo not enjoy perfect health, need onlv take the proper precau- tions and the proper remedy to become perfectly well soa strong. Dr. Puierce’s Favorie Prescriptions will cure any derangement of the distinetly feminine organism.

ANOTHER OF THE SAME

AP_ KE I- Liberal Wheis Disgusied With the Party,

The Moncton Times reports that among the passengers for the west at Moncton station on Friday last was a very respect- able looking gentleman frum Prince Edward Island. The train was late and a Moncton man engsged the Islander in con- verzation. It was jearned that he was the owner of a good farm near Charlottetown, but as his family had grown up he decided to leave the place with them and goto

there are any prospects of bettering hie condition. Tbe conversation finally turn- ed on politica) matiers, and the Islaud

gentleman eXpressed himself pret- ty freely and intelligently, as most Island” era do, om, the question ofthe day. He

aid he had been a Liberal,:had always ) beheved that the Conservative policy wa unsuited to the Island and that the L’ber- als would bring about a great improvement. They bad promised to abolieh the policy of proiection and give the farmer his manufactured goods clieaper, bat all they had done was to take the paltry duty off binder twine and barbed wire, which were very smal] items in the Island farmers’ expenses while they had actually giveo some favored manufacturers more proteciion and increased the cost of livnig. *Hang it all, confound the scoundrels,” said this former Liberal, warming up to the sutject, “They have done nothing but feather heir own nests. The Liberal gavernmeut is ten times worse than any tory government we ever had.” The Island gentleman said the feeling was set- ting in strong againet the government and that in the present state of public feeling he did not believe the liberals could carry single seat in the event of a general election.

Both teams were there deter- mined to win thetropby. But the Prince’s had the“razzle-dszzle”t# spur them on and this no doubt, accounted in some part for their victory. The play was very fast, some exceptionally good work being done on both = sides. The defence of the Prince’s was almost impassable and only once did the Cresents score.

Inthe frst balf Prince of Walee scored twice and in the second @once, thus making the total score 3 to 1.

It was not possible to work much com- bination on account of the ice, or rather the water, butthe Prince’s made some good passes and thereby made considerable gains. The fog-horn has not yet been confiscated.

He began the study of medicine in 1844, and was graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1848, taking the degree of FRCP Edio. in 1849. He afterwards

studied in Paris and London, and was for rome years Houre Surgeon to the Royal Maternity

Hospital of Edinburgh.
