[E E SPAIN WILL YIELD
If Beparation Is Demanded for
the Maine Disaster.
OPINION OF AN OFFICIAL
lie Believes That an External Agency
Caused theLoss of the Battleship and
That Any Reparation We May Seek
Will Be Promptly Granted. _
Washington, Feb. 23.—-D_uring all the
excitement consequent upon the an-
nouncement of the destruction of the
Maine President McKinley has remain-
ed silent, calm and dignified. Except
to his most intimate friends he has
said nothing that could be construed
_ as an official utterance, and his inti-
mate friends have so far carefully
avoided any expression of opinion that
:might in any way be quoted as a reflec-
tion of the Presidents views.
Any stories that have been publish-
ed, stating that-the President intended
pursuing this or that course in regard
Maine disaster are therefore
pure fabrications. The whirlwind of
excitement is now, however, dying out:
and now the quiet, level-headed ofi‘ic-
ials of the Administration are begin-
ning to express'themselves as to the
possible outcome of the terrible disas-
ter. One of these, a high official of the
Administration, and a close personal
friend of Piesident McKinley, when
asked what he thought would be the
result of the present investigation in
Havana harbor said:
”There are certain things that lead
me to believe that the investigation
will show that the destruction of the
Maine was caused from the outside. If
this is proven to be the case, I will
venture upon this 'prediction, that
twenty-four hours after the President
receives the report of the board of in,
vestigation, our Government will de-
mand immediate indemnity from Spain,
and that Spain will accede to the de-
mands of this Government within for-
ty-eight hours. She will disavow any
responsibility for the disaster and pay
what we may demand, whether it be
$5,000,000 to be given to the families
of the men killed in the explosion, and
an additional $5,000,000 for the con-
struction of a new warship to take the
place of the Maine. Spain and this
country have been playing for points.
“Neither the United States Govern-
ment nor that of Spain desires to pro-
mote hostilities unless they have right
on their side and the sympathy of the
other civilized nations of the World.
For this reason the Administration has
been carefuland circumspect, and has
done nothing ,to provoke war. Spain
knows this, and has also endeavored
to so shape her courSe that she may
not lose the sympathy of other nations.
She well knows that no civilized gov-
ernment of the world could or would
countenance such a terrible crime
against civilization as the blowing up
of the Maine and the terrible destruc-
tion of life caused thereby, and that
whether the Government of Spain is
directly responsible or not, she will be
held accountable should the board of
investigation determine that the de-
struétion of the Maine was not caused
by an explosion from the inside of the
ship. For this reason, as I said, Spain
will accede to our demands, and accede
quickly, whatever they may be. There-
fore, I do not look for any hostilities
between the two countries, growing
out of the Maine disaster.
MINERS RESIST THE TROOPS.
Dyea Trail Bloékaded to Prevent Soldiers
Passing Ahead of Prospectors.
Victoria, B. 0., Feb. 23.—-Three
steamers, the Danube, the Thistle and
Tees, have returned from Skaguay,
each with a few Dawsonites on board.
There was very little gold on board.
Passengers from Skaguay bring news
of a blockade of the Dyea trail by min-
ers and packers, who resisted the de-
mand of a detachment of United States
troops to go over the trail before them.
It was 'feared at Dyea that trouble
would arise over the affair.
Another shooting affair occurred at
Skaguay in front of a saloon. “Tom”
Ryan shot and wounded a newcomer,
whose name was not given. Ryan was
promptly arrested and taken to Sitka
for trial.
“Mike” Quinlan, formerly of Minne-
apols, has been appointed marshal at
Skaguayi
A jail is being provided. Two men,
whose names are not known, were de-
tected robbing a cache at Sheep Camp.
One of them turned and fired at his
pursuers, who returned the fire, and
one drOpped to the ground. Thinking
he had killed a man, the fugitive
turned the revolver on himself and sent
a bullet through his brain. The other
man was taken back to Dyea, where
he was paraded through the streets
with a placard on him, setting forth
that he was a thief. He was afterward
lodged in jail.
Complaints are being made at Skag-
uay in relation to the number of men
arriving there by each, boat without
means of subsistence. Among the re-
turning Dawsonites was George Bel-
don, one of the last men to go up the
.Yukon last fall. He was one of a syn-’
dicate which purchased the little
steamer from the Creek Mission for
$10,000 and made an attempt to reach
Dawson, but got only to Circle City,
where the boat stuck in the ice. Bel—
don made his way by sledge to Daw-
son, and thence to the coast.
The delay in the receipt of mail at
Dawson is, according to the passen-
gers of the Danube, the cause of many
coming to the coast. They say no mail
has been received since fall, and that
business is paralyzed in many in-
stances.
‘W. R. Hill, who arrived from Stew-
art River, says there is lots of gold
there, but it is too expensive to get
provisions up the river.
500 Reindeer for Government. ,_
New York, Feb. 23.——The Allen line
steamship Manitoba is due here to-day
with a consignment of over 500 rein-
deer for the United States Government,
which are to be forwarded at once to
the Klondike. An agent of the Gov-
ernment has been awaiting her here
two or three days with instructions to
purchase whatever food the reindeer
will require on their Journey to Alaska.

PLANS FOR FBEEING CUBA
The Purchase of the Island Not Serious-
ly Considered---Impossible to Act U11-
less the Consent of the Insurgents Is
Obtained.
Washington, Feb. 23. —Eve1ything is
quiet in Washington to- day in regard
to the Maine. Now that the board of
v .
inquiry has started its work, the Pres- ,
ident and the Cabinet are convinced
that the result will be known in a few
days, and therefore the former is deter—
mined to withhold the Cuban corre-
spondence until something definite is
known in regard to the explosion.
So much has been said in the papers
recently about the President's inten-
tion of ending the war by making an
offer to Spain to purchase the island
and assume a protectorate over it and
its customs to pay the debt that it may
be well to state here on the best au-
thority that this question has not been
seriously considered by the President
or his Cabinet. It has been talked
over and discussed, but not seriously
considered for a number of weeks. The
persons who are urging this plan are
John J. McCook, of New York, and
Mr. Smith. president of the Havana
Gas Works.
It can be stated that while the Presi-
dent would willingly make the same
offer to Spain that was made by Sec-
retary Fish in 1869 to purchase the isl-
and for $125,000,000, paying, perhaps,
this time, only $100,000,000, in making
this offer he would have to guarantee
to Spain the protection of the Spanish
subjects and Spanish property on the
island. This is the great difiiculty in
this solution. .Spain knows full well
that as soon as the Cubans came into
possession of the island they would
take revenge upon the Spaniards and
the Spanish property, and that the
United States would have to guarantee
not only the purchase money but in-
demnity and damages for every attack
on or destruction of Spanish subjects
and their property.
' The President also finds that he can—
not intervene at this time, because if
he did the Spaniards would withdraw
all their forces and authority from the
island, and it would devolve upon the
United States to provide for and pro-
tect the thousands of starving Cubans.
This would mean a gigantic respon—
sibility that the United States is not
prepared to assume. The call for re-
lief which has been issued now has not
met with ready response, and the Gov-
ernment would be obliged to stand for
millions of dollars to care for the in-
habitants left on the island.
The President is also embarrassed
because so far the insurgents have re—
fused to treat on this basis, and have
declined to listen to any proposition.
Until the insurgents consent this plan
must be held in abeyance.
THE SPANISH NOT INTERFERING.
Indications That Forward Magazine for
Fixed Ammunition Exploded.
Havana, Feb. 22.—The Maine Court
of Inquiry opened at 10.30 yesterday
morning and took a recess at 12.30.
Lieutenant G. F. W. Holman, naviga-
tor and ordnance officer of the Maine,
was examined at the morning session.
The court met for the afternoon ses-
sion at 1.30, and Lieutenant Comman-
der Wainwright, executive officer of
the Maine, was called to the witness
stand. Wainwright has been in imme-
date charge of the wreck since the ex-
plosion.
Havana, Feb. 23.—Consul-General
Lee says the Spanish officials are not
interfering with the investigation into
the causes of the disaster. The wreck-
ing tug Right Arm arrived here yester-
day frbm the Merritt & Chapman Der-'
rick and Wrecking Company. No ob-
jection was made to the presence of
the tug or her prospective work. She '
will probably make an early'attempt
to save the big guns, and, if possible,
the more valuable parts of the Maine’s
machinery.
If a definite conclusion is reached by
the court about the cause of the dis-
aster, it will be almost impossible to
know it in Havana. Any report from
here about the conclusions of the Court
of Inquiry will be mere imagination.
Four divers are at work, two in the
fore part of the ship and twoaft.
The task is most laborious, and the
men are, extremely careful, they
have had to ‘work in complete darkness
and several have had bad falls. Elec-
tric lights, worked from the Mangrove,
are now available.

Explosion Occurred.

After First Detonation He Realized That

ered---I’erfect Discipline Maintained.
Havana, Feb. 21.—Captain C. D. Sigs-
bee of the battleship Maine, in an in-
terview, described the explosion in de-
tail. He said:
“On the night of the explosion 1 had
not retired. I was writing, letters. I

something awe-inspiring, terrifying.
There is nothing in the former experi—
ence of anyone on board by which to
measure the explosion.
“After the first great shock—J can-
not myself recall how many sharper de-
tonations I heard, not more than two
or three—I knew my ship was gone. In
such a. structure as the Maine the ef-
fects of such an explosion are not for a.
moment in doubt.
“I made my way through the long
passage in the dark, groping from side
to side, to the hatchway and thence to
the poop, being among the earliest to
reach that spot. So soon as I recog-
nized the officers I ordered the high ex-

rected that the available boats be low—
ered to rescue the wounded or drown-
ing.
“Discipline, in a perfect measure, pre—
vailed. There was no more confusion
than a call to general quarters would
produce, if as much.
“I soon saw, by the light of the
flames, that all my officers and crew
left alive, and on board, surrounded
'me. I cannot form any idea of the
time, but it seemed five minutes, from

done.
“I remember the officers and men
worked together lowering the boats and
that the gig took some time to lower.
I did not notice the rain of debris de—

others who were on deck at the time of

cautions. agai st attack and the quar-
ter watch was ordered to have ammu-
nition for the smaller guns ready to
hand, so that in the improbable event
of an attack on the ship it would have
been found ready. It was this ammu-
nition which exploded as the heat
reached it.” .
Captain Sigsbee and all the Ameri-
can officers here are very anxious for
news from the United States as to _;ub-
lic opinion. The captain has doiié all
he can to calm the excitement in the
United States and to induce the public
to wait for the result of the official in-
vestigation before forming a judgment
as to the cause of the explosion;
It is commonly commented here that
no dead fish were found in the harbor
after the disaster, and this fact is
looked upon as showing that the explo-
sion occurred on board the Maine and
not outside, as in the latter case many
fish would have been killed by the con-
cussion.
A careful search will be made for the
Maine’s log book, which will be of great
importance to the Court of Inquiry,
which begins its investigations to- day.
It is yet too soon to form any opinion
as to what the divers will be able to re-
cover from the wreck.
The wreck is the central figure of an
otherwise bright picture, and it is sad
as it is terrible. The huge mass of flame
charred debris forward looks as if it
had been thrown up from a subterra-
nean storehouse of fused cement, steel,
wood and iron. Further aft, one mili-
tary mast protrudes at a slight angle
from the perpendicular, while the poop,
on which gathered the band, offers a
resting place f0 rthe workmen or divers.
Of the predominant white which
marks our war vessels, not a vestige re-
mains. In its place is the blackness of
desolating death.

who is among the missing, was alive

Two cases of ten-inch ammunition
were found yesterday forenoon, the
one having exploded, the other full of
powder. These were found forward.
An ‘additional ten- inch casing change
was found later. It had exploded. A
number of such casings are believed to.
be inside the hull, but it is not known
whether they exploded or not.
The divers examined the outside 01

sion is said to have taken place. But

ing about their work. They have re
ceived strict orders to refuse to answer
to any question about the cause of the
disaster or the results of their investi-
gation.
divers found many bodies.
they talked freely saying that it was
one of the most horrible spectacles
that human sight could endure. A ma-
jority of the remains are understood to .
be those of firemen and many of them
are said to have been mutilated in the
struggle for life, which the divers say
must have been frightful.
The divers found a copper cylinder
used in conveying charges to the, six«
inch guns. The fact that it had ex~
ploded seems to shOw that there was
an explosion in the magazine for fixed
ammunition on the port side forward.

bacoa has ordered a suspension of pub-
lic festivities as a mark of respect to
the memory of the Maine's dead. The

WHAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION?
Rumors Floating About Haéana as to the
Origin of the Disaster.
Havana Feb. 20, via Key West, Fla,

may have been accidental and it may
not have been. Since the night of the
calamity a great many suspicious facts
have been discovered. Three days be-
fore a boat containing three Spanish
sailors was seen rowing from the Ma—
china in the direction of the Maine. A
Spanish sentinel of the Machina chal—
lenged them. They stopped, come to the
shore, and, after being detained f01
the Maine, which has been blown up!"
Santos Guzman, who is the repzcs en-
lative of the Spanish Constitutional
Union, was at his house in the Cerro
entertaining some friends. As soon as
he heard the explosion he said: “I
guess that is a boat that has been
blown up in the bay.” On board the
City of Washington large pieces of ce-
ment off the bottom of the Maine fell in
great quantities. The question is asked:
“If the explosion took place from with—7
in,_ how is it the cement was hurled
from the bottom up?”
The press ever since the disaster are
publishing long articles to prove it was
an accident, and are repeating them
with the same insistence which they
were doing a few ,wéeks ago when the
Maine arrived, and they pretended that
the peaceful relations of the two coun-
tries were then better than ever.
One thing is certain; in the Spanish
mind the incident of the Maine has
find it impossible to describe the sound I produced a most discrediting effeCt as
to,the carelessness of the American of-
ficers and navy. The Spaniards say
now: “What kind of a navy is that,
when, due to the carelessness of their
own officers, their ship is blown up be-
fore the very eyes of ,their enemies,
whom they pretended’to impress by
the looks of their ships? Never has
such a thing happened to the Spanish
navy.” Everything points to the con-
clusion that the explosion came from
the outside and not from the inside. The
appearance of the wreck points to that
fact. Havana harbor is filled with mines,
some of them of very large size. It may
have been one of these which did the
work. That the accident was not due
to causes inside the vessel is said to be
the conviction of all the Maine’s of-
ficers, although they are very reticent
as to what they say. All one» is able to
get from them when questioning them
as to the cause of the explosion is: “I
do net know.”
The disaster was the cause of great
3 rejoicing among the Spanish, and many
' bottles of champagne were opened in
about an hou1. were released, as they ,
were said to have given a satisfactory 1'
explanation of their suspicious action.
A boat with two persons on board
which was going frOm Havana to Re- :
gia on crosing the bay found itself in-
tercepted by a wire which seemed to l
come from the dry dock in the direction
of the Maine. The men in the boat had
to lower it to be able to pass. These
men, whose names are kept secret for
the present, intend to present them-
selves and report the facts to the com-
miSSion which is expected here to in-
vestigate .the Maine disaster.
A Spanish woman, recently arrived.
from Spain, on hearing of the report of
the disaster, said to a number of per-
sons whom‘ she supposed were all Span-
iards: “So the Maine has been blown
up. No wonder I _was told yesterday
not to go near the wharf, as the ship,
was going to be blown up. "
Another suspicious incident is that a
curred Several Spaniards from a dis.-
tantpart of the city all said:‘ “That is
Havana to celebrate the killing of the
Americans. General Lee has received
visits of condolence from the American
colony and the Cubans, including many
hundred women.
TO DEMAND RETRACTION.
Administration Annoyed at Senor Sobral’s
Alleged Slur Regarding Our Navy.
Washington, Feb. 21.—The Navy De-
partment has determined to call upon
the State Department to demand a re-
traction from Naval Attache Sobral of
the Spanish Legation, who is quoted as
saying that the accident to the Maine
11 as due to the lax discipline and watch
that is charactetristic of all Ame1ican
ships.
“'hile the department is not positive
that the Spanish attache was correctly
quoted, it feels that at any rate the
matter should be followed up and a.
satisfactory reply given by Senor So-
bral. The department officials are unit-
ed in declaring that the discipline on
all the ships of our navy is as perfect
as it can be, and they are particularly
zealous now in resenting any insinua-
tions to the contrary. The alleged slur
of the Spanish naval attache, therefore,.
will not be permited to go unnoticed.
Secretary Long, in published inter-
views, has given the strongest possible
commendation of the conduct of Com-
mander Sigsbee and the other officers
and crew of the Maine. He is entirely
satisfied with their behavior, both pre-
vious and since the disaster to the
Maine. ASSistant Secretary Day will
shortly call Senor Du Bosc’s attention
to the interview credited to Senor So-
bral and ask whether or not it is au-
thentic. Mr. Day will intimate that
the Administration is in no mood to
stand any adverse criticism of our navy
at this time, particularly from an of-
ficial Spanish source. It is thought
that the naval attache will deny the in-
terv‘iew and disclaim having expressed
such sentiments. In this case the in-
cident will go no further.
Sobral is Out of the Legation.
Washington, Feb. 21.—An unexpected
development yesterday so changes the
aspect of the Sobral case that the State
Department may not feel that it is
necessary to proceed further. Senor
Du Bose, Charge d’AfIai1es of the
Spanish Legation, made the following
statement:
“On the 24th of January last Captain ‘
Sobral ceased to be a member of this
legation,_according to a royal decree
which gazetted as his successor Lieu-
tenant Ramon Carraza y Reguera.”
No Spanish Divers to Re Used.
Havana, Feb. 21.—Neither Spanish
nor Cuban divers will be employed on
the wreck of the Maine. Yesterday the
divers employed by Captain Sigsbee re-
covered the cipher code book, the log
book of the Maine and many other of-
ficial and private papers.
Lieutenant- Commander Barnett, of
the survey boat Bache, said to a cor—
respondent of the Associated Press:
“You want the facts. I can tell you
there are ninety-five chances out of a
hundred that the investigation will
show that the forward magazine of the
Maine did not blow up first, if it ex-
ploded at al_,l and that it was not the
cause of the terrible consequences that
followed. The condition of the wreck
when first studied and a later careful
scrutiny make this an almost absolute
certainty."
Why a Warship Was Sent to Cuba.
Washington, Feb. 21.—There is no
longer any concealment on the part of'
the Administration as to the reason
vessels should go to Havana and other
which. induced it to decide that naval
Cuban ports. While no admissions are
made that the “friendly visit" idea is
no longer to be considered as the rea-
son that the Maine was sent to He-
vana. the announcement that another
warship wOuld proceed there as soon as
the excitement over last Tuesday’s ter-
rible affair had subsided shows that the
protection of American inteiests and
not mere etiquette has actuatid the
Administration. Captain Sigsbee' 5 pre-
cautions in keeping ammunition ready
lfOl‘ service in the rifles of the secondary
battery are evidence that he did not
regard his mission as one of loving
brotherhood.
$1,000,000 for Paris Fair.
Washington, Feb. 21. ——Representative
Hitt, of Illinois, has introduced a joint
resolution appropriating one million
dollars for the representation of the
United States at the Paris Exposition
in 1900. It requests Governors of States
and Territories to invite the citizens to
assist. Nine commissioners are to be

MISS WILLARD MOURNED.
Two Thousand Persons View Her Face
After Simple Ceremonies.
New York, Feb. 21.—Services over
the body of Miss Frances E. Willard
Were held in the Broadway Tabernacle
.at Broadway and Thirty-fourth street
yesterday afternoon. On next Thurs-
day the final funeral services fc-r Miss
Willard will take place in Evanston, 111.
Before the burial, however, the body
will lie in state in Willard Hall, at the
W. C. T. U. Temple in Chicago-this
following a. similar honor in Church-
ville, N. Y., Miss Willard’s birthplace.
The bad weather yesterday did not
prevent a great crowd attending the
services.» Among the attendants were
many persohs from neighbori g States,
mostly women representing State
branches of the W. C. T. U. The en-
tire lower part of the church was‘ re-
served for the white ribboned women.
This allotment crowded all those who
did not display white ribbons into the
galleries.
The great number of flowers received
by those who had the funeral arrange-
ments in charge provided much of the
decorations for the church. Two
wealthy women, great admirers of Miss
Willard, furnished the necessary addi-
tional decoration, consisting largely of
palms. Among those who sent flowers
were Helen Gould, Susan B. Anthony
and the Rev. Anna Shaw.
In pursuance oil-a cable message sent
by Lady Henry Somerset, 3. bunch of
white roses was placed over the heart
of the beloved temperance reformer.
Miss Willard’s request that her funer-
al service be simple was carried out
strictly. There was no augmentation
of the customary Methodist Episcopal
funeral service. 'Her favorite hymns
were sung.
After the services an opportunity was
given to view the face of the departed
reformer. About 2,000 persons took ad-
vantage of the opportunity.
Miss Willard’s Will.
Chicago, Feb. 21. ——Frances E. W’il-
lard's modest estate of $20, 060 will go
to the Woman’s Temple enterprise. If
the trustees decline to take the prof—
fered fortune, a life interest in it will
go, by the provisions of the original
will, jointly to Miss Willard’s private
secretary and friend, Miss Anna. A.
Gordon, and to Mrs. Mary B. Willard,
of Berlin, Germany, the widow, of her
only brother Oliver. At their deaths
the estate will revert to the treasury of
the National VVoman’s Christian Tem-
;‘1 once Union for use as the Executive
'l'u'imittee may see fit.
The estae includes $3,000 presented to
10s Willard 011 her fiftieth birthday by
11.0 women of the country.
