Chicago, Feb. !!£ .—The UhicaRo Trl-
tmne this morning prints the following
statement us coming from President
McKlnley:
"I do not propose to do anything at
nil to precipitate war with Spain. Uj
to the present I do not think war l>
either necessary or inevitable. I would
he lax in my duty, however, if 1 did
not prepare for the future. The situa-
tion is grave, and the policy of the ad-
ministration will he determined almost
entirely by the course of events from
time to time. There is no necessity of
1 alarming the people, but congress must
be ready to assist the administration
without making too many inqulrl
to the course of current events.'
"To a senator who called upon him
yesterday to nsk some serious ques-
tions as to the policy of the adminis-
tration, President McKlnley, with tht
utmost frankness, uttered the abovt
words. There is now no doubt of the
fact that the government of the ITnit
ed States Is actually preparing for war
with Spain. Tt does not follow that
war will come, but the activity in both
the War and Navy departments is too
unmlstakeable to be concealed.
"The president and his cabinet unite
in the belief still. In spite of all evl-
} dence to the contrary, that the explo-
sion of the Maine was the result of an
unfortunate accident, but they recog-
nize the fact that the contrary may
prove true at almost any hour, and
that, If it is shown even in
that Spain had a hand in th
phe, there will be but

MARLOW.
Marlow. I. T.. Feb. (Special.) -News
iiHM Just reached here of the robbing tit
i named Demsey, who lives seven
miles east of Marlow
Two masked men rode up to his house
at 10 o'clock Tuesday night and called
him out. He supposing thein to be some
men he was expecting on business, went
to the gate, where the robbers covered
him an*l demanded his money.
Dempsey protested thai he had none at
the house, but bad deposited It all in the
bank. The robbers told him that th«
had been to the bank and knew that he
had not deposited his money. They then
placed a rope about his neck and raised
him oft the ground several times. Demp-
sey was about to tell tnem whei
money was hidden, but took cc
again and refused. The rope was again
put around i..s neck, he was pulled off the
ground by one of the robbers.,while the
other covered Mrs. Dempsey with a slx-
>ter and forced her to te whe
money was hidden.
They secured $560. wnlch represents
Dempsey's savings for tlve years. Demp-
a prosperous fanner, but would not
risk the money with the hank, rhere is
lew to the robbers. Dempsey s only
rlptlon Is that one was very tall and
the other small aud short.
The opinion prevails that the perpetra-
tors are his neighbors, a reward of *50
has been offered for the arrest t r either
of the men.

"It Is a significant fact that within
the last two days there has been a re-
markable change In opinion in the
Navy department in regard to the ex
plosion of the Maine. When the first
news arrived here last week experts at
the department were nearly evenly di-
vided as between an accident and de
sign. But today, after studying the
later reports, and especially the photo-
graphs sent from Havana, nine out of
ten officers at the department express
the belief that the Maine was anchor-
ed over a submarine mine. The only
difference of opinion seems to be as to
whether that mine was exploded by
Spanish officials acting under orders,
or by some enthusiastic individual. The
latter opinion is generally held, but It
Is said this does not lessen in any great
degree the responsibility of Spain for
the disaster. If the Spanish officers al-
lowed the war ship to be moored t« a
buoy which was attached to a subma-
rine mine they thereby became respon-
sible for the result, whether the mine
was exploded by official orders or not.
The placing of the Maine in an exposed
place In the harbor, if it was don
all. was done by Spanish officials,
if the mine was exploded by anybody
at all they were directly responsible
and will so be held by President
Klnley's administration."

Feb. i!Ci. The slump In the
t this morning was so sud-
vlolent that the trading
tin panic conditions. Hut
the avalanche of liquidation waa prac-
tically over In less than half an hour,
ami there were some quick recoveries.
The dullness and the recuperative ten-
dency that followed showed that the
determination to let go at whatever
sacrifice had been quickly abandoned,
and the late drlv
prices by no inei
in the morning.
The covering of shorts worked a sub-
stanttal rally before the close. The
early slump ranged from one to nearly
five points in the standard shares, and
from that on up to an extreme decline
of twelve points in the \letrouolltan
Street railway and thes peclaltles. Re-
l overtes, though short in some shares,
were at no time complete In any stock.
The latter tone of the market suggest-
ed that the early break waa at least
,.iic,imaged by manipulations, and the
Miibatantlal character of the buying at
I Xtretne decline corroborated the
view that there were waitlmt purchas-
