FEELING lN CONGRESS
Senator Allen’s Resolution for In-
vestigation Goes Over.
iACTION TO FOLLOW FACTS
The Conviction That the Battle Ship “Was
Destroyed by Intent Is Becoming Gen-
era], and the Worst is Expectcd---To
Replace the Maine.
Washington, Feb. 18.—-The conviction
has become more general about Con-
gress that the Maine was destroyed by
intent. The general disposition is to
await developments with reasonable
patience, but it is evident that the
worst is expected. When some defi-
nite information is had
doubt that there will be such action
by Congress as the facts warrant.
Senator Allen introduced a I'csoiutit‘ln
in the Senate yesterday asking for in-
vestigation of the matter by the Senate
Naval Committee. It was objected to
and went over until tO—day. It is not
thought, however, that anything will
be done until some sort of definite re-
port has been received from the com-
manding ofl'icer of the «Maine.
The Cuban sympathizers in Congress
discourage any agitation of the matter
in advance of reliable information.
The President and Secretary of the
Navy are looked to for all preliminary
steps in the matter, and it is not sup—
posed that there will be any unneces-
sary delay in making the ascertained
facts public. If the facts are as ex-
pected, it is probable that decisive ac-
tion by Congress will follow promptly
upon the disclosures. It may not be
necessary after the Official reports are
made for the Congressional Committee
to investigate further. Action in that
direction will depend upon early devel—
opments.
It is expected that provisions will be
made in the Naval bill about to be con—
sidered for replacing the Maine, and
for otherwise strengthening the navy to
an extent not before contemplated. If
it should prove that the explosion was
the result of an accident (which is not
expected) it will be the signal for a bit-
ter fight in Congress upon the system
'of naval establishment by those who
have never been friendly to increasing
the naval establishment.
Already some are taking the oppor-
tunity, upon the assumption of an ac-
cident, to denounce the general system
of naval construction, and to declare
the whole theory of the big iron fight-
ing machines is wrong. There are,
however, as yet few supporters of this
idea, and it is thought that their posi-
tion will be strengthened by the facts
in this case.

TO REPLACE THE MAINE.
Congress Will Probably Vote to Build
Two More Battle Ships.
Washington, Feb. 18.—The disaster
to the Maine has aroused a. feeling
among members of the House in favor
of extreme liberaiity in appropriations
for the naval and military establish-
ments, the practical result of which is
likely to be the acceptance by the
House with little contest of the Senate
amendment increasing the appropria-
tion for fortifications about $4,000,000,
the authorization in the Naval Appro-
priation bill of two battleships instead
of one, and possibly the authorization
of the entire dry dock system recom-
mended by the Dry Dock Board ap-
pointed by the Secretary of the Navy.
The recommendation of the Secretary
of the Navy was for only one addition
to the navy this year, a. first-class bat-
tleship, but the loss of the Maine
.makes it likely that appropriations for
two ships will be reported by the Naval
Committee. The subject has not yet
been considered by the committee, but
most of the individual members yes-
terday and to-day expressed them-
selves as in favor of building a ship to
replace the Maine.

Provision for Relatives.
, \Vashington, Feb. 18.-—It is probable
that the families of the victims of the
Maine disaster will be cared for by the
Government, as were the survivors of
those who were lost in the Samoan hur-
ricane several years ago when fifty-
four American Officers and sailors were
lost from the Nipsic, Vandalia and
Trenton, which were wrecked on that
occasi;;.. Representative McClellan
of New York, introduced a joint reso-
lution appropriating $150,000 for this
purpose in the House yesterday. The
resolution is as follows:
“Resolved. by the Senate, and House
of Representatives, That the Secretary
Of the Navy be, and is hereby, directed
to pay out of any money in the treasé
ury. not otherwise provided, a sum
equal to twelve months’ pay to the le—
gal heirs or representatives of each of
the ofifcers and crew of the United
States steamship Maine, who perished
in the dis-aster in Havana. February
15. 1mm. and the sum of $150,000, or so
much thereof as may be necessary. is
appropriated to carry out the provi-
sions of th‘s act."
TERRIBLE MINE DISASTER.
Fifty "Lives Believed to Have Been Lost:
in Prussian-37 Bodies Recovered.
Bochum. Prussia, Feb. 18.—A terrible
explosion of fire—damp occurred in the
Vereinigte Carolinenlueck colliery of
liannra yesterday. Thirty-seven bodies
have been recovered.
in addition many miners have been
seriously injured. It is believed that
fifty {)01‘:<t"-ils have perished. '
Inter reprrts show that thirty miners
were severely injured and it is believed
there are still thirty or forty men re-
maining in the pit. There is no hope
of saving the latter.
