"PRESIDENT’S; PM
' The Report Will Not Be Given to
I’ Congress Before Monday.
. CABINET TO SEE IT FRIDAY
‘ The President _Must Have Time for (Imi-
sideration of the Report After its ite-
ceipt—A Feeling in \l'asllington That
the Country is Drifting Toward “’ar.
Washington, March 23.-—The report of
5the court of inquiry on the Maine ex-
plosion will be here some time to—mor-
'rowrow and the President avill have
had a chance to read it before he lays
lit before the Cabinet on Friday. But
even then acccording to an authorita-
‘tive statement, the President will take
a day or two longer to consider it and
prepare it for Congress. It is, there-
fore, not likely that it will be made
public before the meeting of Congress
on Monday.
The recent conference between the
President and Speaker Reed smoothed
matters as to the course of Congress,
and there is a perfect understanding
between the President and the Speaker
as to what will be done. As stated au~
thoritatively and exhaustively in these
dispatches yesterday the President will
notify Spain of the verdict and ask
for an explanation, but before any de-
mand is made upon that country the
report will be laid before Congressand
the policy to be pursued will be one
agreed upon by legislative, as well as
the executive branch of the Govern-
ment.
The report will be sent in duplicate
to the Senate and the House, and al-
ready there is an immense amount of
excitement among members of both
branches in anticipation of coming
events. In view of the approach of the
time when the report‘is to be made
public it is but natural that there
should be a more acute feeling in offi-
cial circles as to the result.
' War More Probably.
Within the last twenty-four. hours
there has undoubtedly been an increase
in the feeling that there will be open
hostilities between the two countries,
and even a Cabinet officer, who has
had much to do with the developments,
remarked to his friends that it looked
as if we were drifting toward war.
The attitude of Congress in refusing
to listen to anything like arbitration
of the Maine explosion or further trial
of autonomy for Cuba has caused the
administration to consider the subject
of intervention, a policy the President
has always had in mind, and which
was so ably stated by him in' the clos—
ing paragraph on the Cuban situation
in his annual message. This policy
has never been changed, and it may
be well at this time to repeat the Pres-
ident’s words in his message: ,
“The near future will demonstrate
whether the indispensable condition of
a righteous peace, just alike to the Cu—
bans and to Spain, as well as equitable
to all our interests so intimately in-
volved in the Welfare of Cuba, is likely
to be attained. If not, the exigency of
further and other action by the United i
States will remain to be taken. When i
that time comes, that action will be
determined in the line of indisputable
right and duty. It will be faced with-
out misgiving or hesitancy in the light
of the obligation this Government owes
to itself, to the people who have con-
fided to it the protection of their in-
terests and honor, and to humanity.
Sure of the right, keeping free from
all offense ourselves, actuated only by
upright and patriotic considerations,
moved neither by passion nor selfish-
ness, the Government will contine its
watchful care over the rights and prop-
erty of American citizens, and will
abate none of its efiorts to bring about
by peaceful agencies a. peace which '
shall be honorable and endurablc. If
it shall hereafter appear to be a duty
imposed by our obligations to our-
selves, to civilization and humanity to ~
intervene with force, it shall be without
fault on our part, and only because the
necessity for such action will be so
clear as to command the support and
approval of the civilized worlc .”
If, when the report arrives, the Pres-
ident and Congress see that it is their
duty to intervene, the President will
do so. There is a feeling among many
of the members of Congress that when
the report is sent to that bOL y there
will be a stampede for hasty action.
Against this the administration and
the leaders on both sides are trying to
guard. It is the one desire of the Pres-
ident that Congress shall act deliber-
ately and slowly in this matter, and for
this reason he has been preparing the
leaders for developments to come.
VJhile there is some talk of trying to
force immediate action in the Senate,
it is felt to-day that a calm and con-
servative course may be expected
from that branch, and in the House
the conferences between the President
and the Speaker and the leaders there
have been productiVe of an assurance :
that nothing precipitate may be feared. I
In all probability the Senate will ad-
journ from Friday until Monday, and-
as only one branch of Congress will
be in session when the report is re- '
ceived it cannot. be sent to Congress
'until Monday.
It is expected that no matter what
the nature of the report may be, when
it is received in the lower branch of
Congress there will be a. disposition to
discuss it, but it is the present inten-
tion of the Speaker to let it pursue the
regular course of such documents and
refer to the Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs.
The Democratic Programme.
Mr. Bailey, in speaking about the po-
sition of the Democrats on this ques-
tion, said: _
"If the Speaker should refuse to en-
tertain a. repeal from his decision, the
Democrats will see to it that no journal
is approved thereafter except upon a
roll call. We will emphasize our po-
sition by every right that is accorded
to the minority until the Committee on
Foreign Affairs brings in some resolu-
tion. We are afraid that as soon as the ‘
documents are sent to the committee
they will be pigeon—holed there and the
House will not be given an opportunity
for their consideration."
The question of Spain’s action in the
matter will not come before Congress
at the time the report is submitted be-
cause the President will not wait for
Spain's answer before he makes the re-
port public, and therefore there will be
no question as to arbitration or set-
tlement to be decided at once. While
It is true that Congress may therefore
not have occasion to deal w th the
question of the destruction of the
Maine, it is more than probable that
the meater question of the indepen-
greater proposition the Maine explo-
sion will become but a mere incident.
THE CABINET MEETING.
The )Iembers Informed That. the Report
“111 Arrive To-llorrou’.
Washington, March 23.-—-The Presi-
dent informed the Cabinet at the meet-
ing yesterday that the report of the
Court of Inquiry would arrive here to-
morrow. He stated that he did not ex-
pect to send it to Congress until the
first of next week, perhaps on Mon-
It all depended upon the character of
the report, and the effect it. would have
upon his future policy. .
The Cabinet was in session for an
hour and a quarter, and when the Cab-
inet members left the ‘Vhite House
they stated that there was nothing new
except the fact of the announcement
of the arrival of. the report to-morrow.
The general Cuban question was dis—
cusssed, as well as the feeling in Con-
gress, and the disposition of the report
after it was received. The expenditiure
of the $50,000,000 appropriation made so
far were gone over, but the question of
purchasing new ships was not dis-
cussed.
The President is determined to take
two or three days to consider the re-
port after it reaches his hands, pre-
pare his note to Spain and his mes-
sage, which will accompany the re-
port to Congress.
President will state the facts as to the
sending of the Maine to Havana, the
explosion, the ordering of the Court of
Inqiury, its meetings, its testimony and
final report“ He will also mention his
having informed Spain of the verdict

An Official Statement.
Washington, March 23.—After
Cabinet meeting yesterday the follow-
ing Statement was giver. out from an
official source:
“It was understood at‘the Cabinet
meeting to-day that the report of the
Court of Inquiry probably would be
here Thursday or Friday; that it is a
very voluminous document; that prob-
ably it will not be given to the press
the President will require that much
time for its proper consideration.”
the Blobilization of Troops.
Viashington. March 23.—~From all
over the country come indications of
the quiet preparations for war which
. partlnents, all-J. of their evident inten-
i tion to be found ready, however quick-
; ly the call may come.
I Orders have been prepared for trans-
mission from the headquarters of the
fantry and cavalry trOOps In the coun—
coasts.
The heads of military departments
were instructed, about ten days ago,
to make all necessary preparations to
move troops to the Atlantic seaboard
on the receipt of orders to that efl'cc .
This was almost simultaneous with
the reorganization of the military de-
partments of the country, making two
divisions of the original Department of
the East, and giving much importance
to the Southern division, the new De.-
; partment of the Gulf.
It is not unlikely that these orders
for the general, movement of the
; troops may be transmitted very soon.
It is expected that the greater part of
the Department of the Gulf.
Headquarters have opened in Atlan-
ta, and Gen. Graham, the Department
Commander, is getting his staff to~
gether. ‘

THE DOLPHIN READY F0". SEA.
Dispatch Boat. to Go Into Cmnmimim: at
the Navy Yard. -
Brooklyn, March 23.——The work on
1 the dispatch boat Dolphin has been go-
? ing on for the past two weeks and she
is now ready to go into commission.
The Dolphin has been thoroughly
l overhauled, and is as spick and span
as a brand new boat. One hundred and
fifty men have been at work on fitting
her up. Commodore Lyons will to-
morrow hoist his flag, placing her in
cOlnmission. She has been refitted with
new engines, boilers, deck and spars.
The Dolphin will carry her old guns.
She has a. displacement of 1,486 tons
and is able to make 15.5 knots per hour.
She will likely leave here for Washing-
ton after she has been placed in com-
mission, where she will be held subject
to the Secretary’s orders.
Commander Lyons will take charge
of the ship with Lieutenant Souther—
land as executive. Her other officers
will be thOse'attached to her when she
went out of commission.
No Prcarrangerl Plan to Adjourn.
Washington, March 23.——If the Senate
and House adjourn over until Monday
from Friday, as has been suggested, it
will be only because the status of busi-
ness warrants it, and not because of
I any prearranged programme. The Sen-
ate has adjourned frequently of late
because there was no pressing business
on its calendars.

BAILEY‘ON THE SITUATION. .

Pittsburg, Pa, ‘.-h 21.—Congress—
regarding he preSent complications
with Spain, said; -- -
“If the .ndepcndence of Cuba. had
United States there would have been
no necessity for the present situation,
and the Maine woqu never have been
blown up. Iwish to Heaven that I
was empowered to declare War. My
first call would raise a vast armyof
volunteers. I would stake all I hold
dear on earth that within forty days I
would have the Stars and Stripes float-
ing over Havana. Why, in such a.
case you could not keep 4Americans
away from Cuba. They would cross
over in small boats, raft themselves
over. The trouble would be to keep
too many from going there.

Democrats—in the next political cam-
paign. If they do not declare war

left in this country to make a Showing.
When the matter of the $50,000,000 war
appropriation came up the Democrats
in the House realized the truth of the
statement I have just made. They
deliberately sunk party feeling and
voted for it, though they knew that if
voted it would result in party defeat.
The people of this country are deeply
exasperated. They demand immediate
and decisive action, and the party
which gives such action or is respon-
sible for it will win the next campaign.
“I would rather see the Cuban flag
than ‘Old Glory’ floating over Havana
and the entire island. I am against
the annexation of more territory. No
thinking man can find anything to fear
in the idea of war between this country
and Spain. We would win so quickly
and decisively that the war would be
over before we fairly realized that it
' had begun. This talk of foreign com-
plications and hostility on the part of
other foreign powers in such an event .
is all bosh. The United States is too
good a buyer in foreign markets and
too great a producer of products which
Europe must buy to permit of such a
- thing.”
'BELITTLES OUR COAST DEFENSES.
Spain’s Army Organ Attempts to Describe
the “’eakn’ess of the United States.
Havana, March 21.—Diario del Ejer-
cito, the organ of the army, devotes its
first page to describing the unprotected
coast and Gulf States, and says the
principal fortifications are at New
' York, Hampton Roads, Key West and
. New Orleans. Dry Tortugas, it says,
: is simply a. naval station, while Phila-
,delphia and Wilmington are defense-
less. The United States made a mis-
. take in using only home-made guns,
jand while it requires 1,818 guns for
proper coast defense, it has only 100.
I The Diaro del Ejercitor shows that
7 Spain has not been idle in the matter
‘ of gathering information, as it is able
to describe at length all the defenses
near New York from Sandy Hook and
Long Island Sound to Fort Hamilton,
giving the number, size and strength of
the guns. It declares that any modern
fleet could easly take New York, hence
= the fleet could be drawn from Cuba by
' simply making a demonstration against
' New York. Our monitors are described
as antiquated and useless against good
ships of the present day. Hampton
g Roads is not considered of great
strength.
We May Get Three Great Ships.
Washington, March 21.-—Negotiations
are still on for the purchase of the
Aquidaban, the San Martino and the
O’Higgins. These three vessels are the
only ones belonging to any South
American powers that are in any wise
desirable. Others have been offered,
but are not wanted. They would not
be of as much service as would some
of the coasting steamers fitted out with
ammunition. The situation with ref—
erence _to the San Martino and the
O’Higgins. There is a possibility that
we will get both, but the chances at
present are against it.
Gage on War Probabilities.
Pittsburg, March 2l.—-Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, who spoke Saturday
night at the dinner of the Chamber of
Commerce, said in an interview:
“If the report shows that the Maine
was blown up at the instigation of the
Spanish Government war would follow
_ in fifteen minutes. The report will
arrive early this week. I believe that
a majority of the American people are
now convinced that the authOrities in
Havana. had no handin the loss of the
Maine. Unless the report should prove
to the contrary, it is not likely that war
will result." ‘
McKinley Declines Literary Work.
Mexico, Mo., March 21.—A Special
writer of: this city wrote to President
McKinley asking him to give his defin'.
ition of “Bible faith.” John Addison
Porter, the President's private secre-
tary, replied that the President had
adopted a. rule which precludes him
from contributing to any literary Work,
however meritorious.

flinch Interest litauifested in the Out-
come of the Fight To-night.
great deal of interest is being
manifested in the result of the
fight between Peter Jackson and
Jim J effries, which Will be de-
2ided at Woodward’s Pavilion to-night.
Jackson has undergone a six weeks‘
preparation, and much to the surprise
of his various admirers he has shown
great form in the last week or ten
days. In fact, he has shown such good
form in his practice that those who
thought him a. “has been” are now
laying their money on him. He is ap-
parently strong, and so far as hexing
ls concerned has lost none or his clev-
erness or agility; still, having those
quick, peculiar blows that won him so
many battles. Jackson will weight 195
pounds. He has taken off but 10 or 15
pounds. .
Youth and strength are the two prin-
cipal aids that Jim ,Jeffries will have
on his side. His youth and strength
will be pitted against the science of
Jackson and the rule has generally
been that youth counts more than any-
thing in pugilistic encounters where
both men are more or less experienced.
Jeffries has a trifle the advantage in
height. measuring 6 feet 1 inch and
weighs more by about 20 pounds. He
will enter the ring at 215 pounds. 'All
things considered it will be a contest
between two of the largesLmen in the
pugilistic world to-day, and has been
very aptly styled the “battle of the
giants.” The betting favors Jeffries at
10 to 8 with the prospects of the odds
evening up by to-night.
SPAIN HURRIES PREPARATIONS. ‘
Determined to Fight Us Rather Than Sell
I or Surrender Cuba.
Madrid, March 22.—~Despite the ad-
mitted conviction of all, except bluffers,
:hat war with the United States would
eventually result in the loss not. only of
Cuba, but of Porto Rico and the Phil-
lppine Islands, there is,no wavering in
to sell or surrender Cuba. Warlike
preparations are being pushed vigor-
ously. Transports leave almost week-
ly, conveying troops and munitions of
war to Cuba. The arsenals at Ferrol,
, Cartagena and Cadiz are working
‘ night and day. Conscription and en-
listment are active.
I Senor Moret, Minister of the Colonies,
shows no sign of abandoning his en-
thusiastic faith in autonomy as a means
of restoring peace in Cuba, and, equal-
ly, he does not abandon hope that the
United States will postpone any action
until autonomy has had what he re-
gards as a. fair trial. The supporters
of Senor Moret contend that Spain has
vielded to every demand made by the
United States, thereby acknowledging
the justice of the demands, and that
there are no more discredited men in
Spain than General Weyler and Se—
nores de Lome and Robledo.
I RING FIGHT MAY RESULT FATALLY.
I
Harry Brown, Who Spurred With Jack
Smith, Seriously Injured.
I Trenton, March 22.—Henry Brown. of
this city, was given a fatal blow, the
, doctors fear, in his Six-round bout with
'Jack Smith, also of Trenton, at the
Palace Sporting Club last night.
I Brown had the best of the contest
until the fifth round, when Smith land—
ed a terrific left swing on his jaw, fell-
Ing him to the stage. Brown arose weak
and tottering, and was sent down again
by one of Smith’s swings.
In the sixth round matters were the
same, but Brown managed to last the
round out. Smith was declared the
winner. After the contest Brown was
carried to his dressing-room. His con-
, dition became alarming in a short time
and Dr. Joseph B. Shaw was sum-
moned. He pronounced the case a se-
rious one, and Brown was conveyed to
.St. Francis’ Hospital.
Pugilist Smith, Referee Sam C. Aus-
tin, Manager Jack Shelly and others
connected with the fight were arrested.
Reed at the “‘hite House.
“'ashington, March 2-2.—-Tilere were
several important conferences at the
White House yesterday, chief among
them being the visit of Speaker Reed,
who made his first call at the White
House during the day time within the
last year. The only time the Speaker
. has been to the White House this Win-
ter.was on the night before the $50,-
000,000 appropriation bill was passed.
Speaker Reed arrived while the Presi-
dent was consulting with Secretary
Long and remained half an hour, talk-
lng with the President in his private of-
fice. The subject of the discussion was
the pending legislation before Con-
gress and the reception of the represen-
tative of the Maine Court of Inquiry.
The President informed Speaker Reed
that the report would be here at the
end of the week. but that it might be
a day or two before it was sent to
Congress. The Navy Reorganization
bill, the Naval Appropriation and the
Army bill were all discussed, as well as
g other legislation bearing on the situa-
. tion.

London, March ‘22.-—Commander VVlll-

I
ed for France to inspect the ships
I which are being built at La Seyne, for
Brazil. He has inspected the Admiral
Abrouall, a sister vessel of the Ama-
zonas, and some torpedo craft at Ells-
wick and elsewhere. Commander
Brownson is understood to have been
highly pleased with the Abrouall,
though the United States authorities
may decide to change some details of
her plans. .

Newport News, Va., March 22.—The
Kearsarge and the Kentucky will be

being made to celebrate the event with
grat ceremonies, and President McKin-

These
expeditions numbered about 700 men,
mostly citizens of Seattle, and were the
first to start after the first news of
wonderful discoveries came out. They
have made the best of their enforced
imprisonment, and have been industri-
ously engaged in building a. city and
prospecting the country immediately
surrounding them. -
A large number of locations have
been made along the Minook and its
tributaries which have been worked
du:ing the winter, ground paying from
forty cents to a hundred and thirty dol-
lars to a pan, and nuggets taken out
worth five to one hundred dollars. They
anticipate handsome clean-ups and
good shipments of dust on the first
boats coming out in the spring.
The camp is reported well supplied
with provisions, exceedingly orderly,
and but one death recorded. It bids
fair to make one of the best and most
permanent camps on the Yukon, having
the merit of being on American soil and
exclusively American ground.
Ex-Mayor Woods of Seattle had made
the trip up the Yukon to Dawson, a
distance of seven hundred miles, using
dogs and sleds. He is expected to ar-
rive here next week. ,
Tarifi‘ on Klondike Goods.
Washington, March 21.——The State
Department has been informed by the
United States Consul-General at Otta-
wa. that the same duties are i nposed on
goods destined for the Klondike region
as are imposed on goods imported into
any other part of Canada. The instruc-
tions to the Canadians custom officers
touching this matter are as follows:
Wearing apparel, articles of personal
adornment, toilet articles, and similar
' personal eflfects of persons arriving in
Canada’may be passed free, without
entry at Customs as traveler’s baggage,
under the provisions of the Customs
tariff, but this provision shall only in-
clude such articles as actually accom-
pany and are in the use of and are nec—
essary and imperative for the wear and
use of such persons for the immediate
purpose of journey and present comfort
and convenience, and shall not be held

tended for other persons or for sale.
