On Feb. 1. the United Statee battleship Maine, which had been sent to Havana on Jan. was destroyed in Havana harbor by an explosion, with a loss of 2tXJ lives. An American board of inquiry, after investigation, reported to the navy department on March 21 that the explosion was caused by an exterior mine, the principal reason for this decision being the upheaval of the ship's bottom.

On April L'O President McKinley approved a resolution demanding the withdrawal of Spain from Cuba, and desienated noon of the 23d as the latest date for a reply to the demand. Before the resolution could be delivered ly the United States minister in Madrid. Spaiu handed him bis passports. On April C2 Pr-eident McKinley declared a blockade on Cuban ports; on the 24th the Spanish government declared war, and on the 25th the United States congreps declared that a state of war April 21 toys' 1 T'louse. prif' Union Suits Anil Shirts (larters.
