THE HARBOR r»NA Would be the Scene of the First Spanish-American Naval Battle SHOULD WAS 8E DECLARED. • Because of the Present Strained Re lations the End Might Come in Sixty Days. Havana, March 21. —Spain is massing her naval strength at Havana. Admiral Si ( nd is in command at Key West of the best fleet ever assembled in American wa tt rs. The American fleet would descend upon Cuba :n case of war. The movement Mould accomplish the double object of striking a blow at Spain’s navy and of blockading Cuban ports, th<r< by penning in the island the flower of the Spanish army. With the defeat of the Spanish fleet the American plan would be to blockade the Cuban ports, land an army of perhaps 50,- übO men to co-operate with Gen. Gomez's forces ar.d the navy In taking Havana. Steps would also be taken to run down Spanish privateers sent out to prey upon American commerce, to arrange for the invasion of Spain. If the American ships should be defeat ed they would be thrown back on the coast and steps would 'be taken to resist a Span ish invasion. A German authority suggested a few days igo that Spain’s best plan would be Io lai. 1 an army of 200,000 men, and to divide the force into four armies of 50,000 nun each, to operate in the country. Army 11. 1 navy oflicers have no fear, how rar. of such a calamity. A>t the same time that the movement wa: made upon Cuba fleets would bombard tin principal ports -ami blockade the islanib of Porto Rico and the Philippines. The Asiatic squadron is at Hong Kong, r. idy to descend upon the 'Philippines, ind 4o oppose the American fleet Spain has no force worthy of mention. Within easy striking distance of Porto Rico, and ready to co-operate with Ad n.iial Sicard’s fleet, the government has five cruisers and gunboats. \ popular prediction is that a naval bat tle off Cuba, the taking of Havana, the blockading of Porto Rico, and the Philip pine Islands, would be the great events of the war. and that it would be over in sixty days. The flying squadron would probably be assigned to protect American vessels, to pursue Spanish commerce destroyers, and to harrass'Spanish shipping. At every army station in the United Stall s the troops are ready to move at al most an hour’s notice. The government has been given assurance that troops could be landed in Florida at the rate of 20,000 per day. The first action would be to assemble the men at a point from which they could be most easily distributed along the coast for defense, or embarked for Cuba. At lanta and Chickamauga have been men tioned. The place has been selected, but it is, of course, a secret 'Wiith the war de partment. Ships must be boarded at Mobile, Tam pa, JPacksonville ,or mobile at hat poi pa. Jacksonville or Savannah, or at sev eral of those ports for transportation to Cuba. The regular army numbers 27,0(X) men, and is ready for immediate service. Over 100,000 members of the national guard can be mobilized at Atlanta, within three days. Spain’s force is 82,000 regular, 160,000 first reserve, and 1,020,600 second reserve. The second reserve tn this country is over 10,000.000. The seacoast defenses are manned and ready for (business. -The first duty of the naval reserves would he to man a mosquito fleet of tor pedo boats, etc., along the coasts, but 1 laces would soon he found for them op boat .1 big fighting ships. In addtion to the S’O.OHO,OOO alreadyaippropriated, a short 'war would probably cost $200,000,000. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, —ss Lucas County. Frank J.

Mr. Walter Hanson had a very nar row escape yesterday, and as it was received injuries that may prove very serious indeed. Mr. Hanson Aas at work .on a machine at the •Bibb Mills. The machine, -by the way, is k:s own invention. As a rule he is mo- . careful in his work on these most intri rtxe machines, but yesurday he forgot his usual care, and in a moment his left hand was drawn "between the rollers, and the fingers as far as the knuckles were terribly crushed un-l broken. Ft is feared by the physicians that some of the fingers w.ll be jsymanently stiffened, but th. re is a chance of saving the others. It is not thought that it twill be necessary to ampu tate any .of them. The most f ainful -part of the accident came When the machine being stopped, it became necessary to turn the rollers back again in order <0 release the hand. It was fortunate for Mr. Han son, however, that the whole hand was not sacrificed, as it ftiu.-t have been if the ma chine had not been stopped in time. For a few moments the situation was terrible.

WAR ON Between Sugar Trust and Competitors— Fight to Death. Cincinnati, March 22 —A gigantic sugar war is shaping itself. The factor plan of regulating the price of sugar throughout the country has piaetically been aban doned. Under the factor plan all the sugar ■trust's distributors and wholesalers from week to week have been notified of any changes in prices, the conditftjn of the market, etc, Refiners have stopped issuing circulars giving terms of sale. This is conceded to be the beginning of the war in sugar which will be the fiercest and most, exterminating of weak elements that has ever been fought by corporations. It is a contest for supremacy in the sugar business. Wholesalers are with drawing from the factor’s agreement. They are no longer acting as selling agents fCr refiners. Independent refiners, particularly Does cher anil the Arbuckles, have put on double shifts to complete their refineries. The trust and its rivals will be merely supply sources while the wholesalers and dealers will barter with them and fight the sugar war among themselves. Mean while the supply sources will have to con tend for their patronage. The he- simile “■ is oa EtgT.i-.urez j- —-&-• every aJ Lx.Tg/Cyj, tapper. COLLAPSED Medical Student Had Hidden Away a Cadav er.in His Fathers Ban,. Shelbyville, Ind., March 32- —A wave of excitement swept this country yesterday afternoon, when it became known that Alonzo Murphy, on going to his barn,, had found the arms of a woman tied up in a coffee sack and hid away among his im plements, a discovery that led up to the finding of the remainder of lb? body near by. An immciise crowd quickly assembled, and speculation was rife as to the iden tity of the corpse, which was that of a handsome, light-complexionod female of about 26 years. The supposed sensation, however, com pletely cc-llapsed, when a son of Murphy confessed that he had secured the body for dissection and had hidden it in the barn. The young man is a medical stu dent.

All of Them Built After the Style of the Monitor. It Is well known that at the close of the historic battle in Hampton lioads (March 9. 1562.) between the Monitor and the Merrimac, naval a-rehiu-cture had been ■ revolutionised. The Merrimac taught the aseit sr.ess of the wooden ships of war. T.‘.< Monitor showed the- world the new and revolutionized principle of (1) the low free boatu, (2) the protective deck, (3) the turret gun house, and t+i the big gun. T—e navies of the world bad to be re- 1 built to conform to these four principles. ' Trey are as much oosc-rved in the naval 1 arebiteeture today as in the years more nearly succeeding the Hampton Road* bac . tic. Not all the principles are apparent in ■ niod-m ;>aiiksii.'.p, but ail are there. Take them in order: 1. The vessel of tae exact lines of the fust Monitor would not be seagoing. In fact the Monitor had to creep Joan to Hampton Roads through inland channels, j being afraid to trust herself out at sea. : Hence in ocean-goiug battleships the m ignt «' t’ • m.u,/-Kok above the water line. Under it aic the boilers, engines, I fuel supply and ammunition magazines, j On it rests the gun turrets. The low free -1 board is there. 2. The protective deck. Every battle ship and cruiser has it, but covered up. The deck spoken of in the procee-ling para- • graph is made of fre-m two to four inches of ’ steel, so as to protect the vital parts un- derneath. Lift on the parts above this ■ deck, 'but leaving the turrets and smoke i stacks, and there you have the old Moni- tor. The rest is lor quarters for comfort J and for sea worthiness. The first Monitor, it should be remembered, was a harbor defense vessel, not a sea-goer. 3. The turret house. This is very much in evidence in al) modern battleships. 4. The big gun. This too, is plainly to I be seen. The guns of tiie Indiana are over ; 30 feet long and carry seven or eight miles I In order to put to war service the top ’■ammer, other guns of sma4l calibre and quick firing are placed here and there, where they can do execution against tor pedo boats and other small fry. Even the masts have small gun platforms, twenty or thirty feet up in the air, with a gatli-ng gun or two to beat tiie snare drum of de struction in a* continuous roll, .wiriie the 12-ineh and 16-ineh monsters in the tur rits now and again sound the base drum in the awful music cf a naval battle.

New York, March 22---During the civil war a newspaper here was suppressed for three days for a treasonable publication. There is now some speculation as ito how far in the event of war with Spain, dis loyalty would be allowed to run without check. It is 'the general belief that 'there* would be no supporters of Spain, as there were Nori hern friends of Southern Con federacy, but that the mischief, if any, would come from the “peace-at-anyprice” crowd.
