Moreover, it is said that such action would be an international offense directed against Japan and an unfriendly act which this gov¬ ernment is not likely to commit at this moment toward a friendly pow- er. The present negotiations con¬ template Japan’s full acquiesence, but whether they will succeed can¬ not be said at this time. The gov¬ ernment officials here feel that there is not likely to be manifested any exhibition of a disposition by the Japanese government to stand upon technical objections to the sale of these ships to the United States gov¬ ernment in case the decision is reached to purchase them, basing this belief upon many kindly ex¬ pressions that of late have come to their notice, and to the past record of the Japanese nation.

March 9—It is reported here this afternoon that the court of inquiry will report that the Maine was blown up by design and that Span¬ ish authorities are responsible for it. It is stated that evidence of this has been placed in the hands of the president and that the court of in¬ quiry is about ready to report and will reach.Washington with it next week. The bill appropriating fifty mill¬ ion dollars for national defense passed the senate today. It was an impressive scene. The senators si¬ lently and resolutely put the meas¬ ure through with a determination that was more than impressive. The president immediately signed the bill and it became a law. Today’s action is only another step taken toward the inevitable. From now on the president will go slow but sure, and. no halt made until Cuba is free. A Narrow Escape.

Carnesville, March 5.—Politics in Franklin county are coming to be of more interest than the much talked of war with Spain. The candidates for gubernatorial honor are all admitted to be good men, but our county may be safely counted for Allen D. Candler. Our people know him to be clean and honest and will support him. The Democracy of Franklin will put up the strongest fight yet made to put her back in the Democratic col¬ umn in October, and there is but little doubt with the proper man¬ agement the county will go Demo¬ cratic. No stone will be left un¬ turned in the effort to win in the coming contest. The Pops are well organized and feel confident of easy victory. They met Tuesday and called the convention to meet the 5th of March to nominate candidates. There is dissatisfaction in their ranks, but the bosses understand each other and are running things. The dissatisfied element will fall in line as soon as the political whip cracks about their ears. The Sure LaGrippe Cure.
