Expected Soon at Washington.
MAY ARRIVE TO—MORROW‘
The Report Forwarded in, the Care of a
Naval Officer—The Exact Tune When‘
It, “in .Beach Washington is Kept a
Secret.
Washington, March 18.—On the au-
. thority of a Cabinet officer, it can be
stated that the report of the Maine
Court of Inquiry is on its way from
Key \Vest to Washington. The Cabin-
et officers stated that when the court
arrived at Key W'est on board the
Mangrove it reported to Admiral Sicard
that it had completed its report, and
was ready to send it to Washington.
This word was received Wednesday,
and it was the first intention to have a.
synopsis made of the document and
have it cabled in cipher from Key
“rest, but after the President had con-
sulted with a number of the Cabinet
officers, he decided that it was best to
have the report come in manuscript,
and he then ordered that word be sent
to Admiral Sicard to dispatch the doc~
ument direct to Washington in care of
a. naval officer. ,
This message was sent to Adimarl
Sicard, and word was received that the
naval officer with the report left Key
West Wednesday. It is thought ad-
visable at this time to withhold the
name of the officer, and as a number of
the surviving officers of the Maine left
Key West Wednesday the identity of
the message bearer cannot be learned.
For obvious reasons the exact time
when the report will reach Washington
is kept a secret, but it is thought if
close connections were made by the of-
ficer at Tampa he will be able to
reach this city some time to-morrow at
the very latest. It takes about thirty-
six hours to come from Tampa to
Washington, and it requires twelve to
fourteen hours to go from Key West
to Tampa. by boat.-
The reports from Key West state
that the naval officers of the Maine
left there on the steamer Olivette
Wednesday night, and that there was
a great demonstration ,when the
steamer departed. The dispatches also
describe the great activity at that
place and tell of numerous conferences
between Admiral Sicard and Captain
Sampson, and finally the departure of
the seven naval officers.
The Cabinet officer mentioned above
stated that while the document now
on its way to Washington may not be
the full report, with all the appendices,
exhibits and memoranda, it will in
substance be the full finding of the
Court of Inquiry and will be all that
is required to give the President and
Cong1ess full information on the sub-
ject. ,
Secretary Long expressed some sur-
prise that the news of the departure
of the report had gotten out, and
stated that he did not expect it would
be made public until next week. In
fact, the administration had been anx-
ious to keep the fact of the departure
of the report quiet, so that it could be
received this week, and digested by the
President and Cabinet before being
made public.
It is learned at the Navy Depart-
ment that it was hardly possible for
the naval officer to reach Washington
with the report before to-morrow.
While it is not known positively what
naval officer has the report in his keep-
ing, it is surmised from the orders
that Lieut. Catlin, First Lieutenant of
Marines, is the officer intrusted with it.
The other six officers have been ordered
to their homes to await orders, while
Lieut. Catlin is ‘ordered to report by
telegraph to Washington on his arrival
at Tampa. ,
Special Report Sent to Pmsident.
Washington, March 18.—A dispatch
from Key West last night says:
“It is learned to-night that a. special
report of the court, which have not yet
been agreed upon. but it is in the na-
ture of a communication for the use of
the President, which he may or may
not make public, as he sees fit. '
“In any ,event it will prepare the
President for what the board will re-
port. and enable him to take measures
accordingly, as the court will find that
the Maine was blowu up from the out-
side.
“The full report, it is said to- night,
will not be formulated and in the hands
of the Secretary of the Navy for some
days yet.”
ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND.
Lord Beresford Thinks the Hour Has
.Come for an Alliance.
London, March 18.——Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, member of
Parliament for York City, in an inter-
view. warmly advocated an Anglo-
American alliance as “a move in the
direction of peace and calculated to
immensely develop trade.” He added:
“Such an alliance is natural and I
believe the mere fact of its conclusion
would deter other from attacking any
inadequately defended interests of
either country. Now is the time to ac~
complish it, when the advantages are
apparent to both countries. A' decade
hence. when, if she desires, the United
States can have become a. first class'

adopted the policy of free trade, it,

she w .11 be in a position to enforce her

80111065 and mechanical and engineer-
ing facilities. An Anglo-American al-
liance would be the most powerful fac-
tor in the world f01 peace and the de-
velopment of commerce."
Speaking of the possibilities of the
United States going to war, Lord
Beresford remarked: “If she ever does,
no matter what happens at the begin-
ning, she must eventually win, be-
cause of the enthusiasm and intense;
patriotism of her people."

INTERNATIONAL CHESS BY CABLE.
America and Great Britain to Play Chess
for the Ncwues Trophy.
New York, March 18.-—W'hile the Gov-
the United
States and Spain are contemplating
war the American and British chess
teams are preparing to enjoy a “quiet
game" of chess. Preparations have
been completed and the teams are
ready for the battle royal for the
handsome trophy presented to the win-
ner of last year’s game by Sir George
Newnes. Play will begin to-day and
continue _till to-morrow evening.
England this year has selected a
very strong team and it will take some
very fine playing on the part of the
Americans if they care to win the
trophy. The English team consists of
I. H. Blackburne, Amos Burn, H. B.
Atkins, G. E. H. Bellingham, H. H.
Jackson, C. D. Locock, D. Y. Hills, H.
Jacobs, H. Caro and H. W. Trenchard.
Of these neither Burn, Caro nor Tren-
chard participated last year. The team
SIR GEORGE NEW'NES.
as thus constituted, is a powerful tine
in every respect, superior to last
year’s, and one that will be very hard
to beat. Amos Burn, who was beaten
by Showalter in 1896, has just won first
prize in the amateur tournament in
Wales, beating out Bellingham, the
former winner. He is now in tip-top
trim and it is quite likely that he will
be again pitted against the Kentuckian
in Order togive him a chance to obtain
revenge. The English players will be
in the Grand Hall of the Hotel Cecil.
The men who will compose the Amer-
ican team are D. G. Baird, New York;
J. F. Barry, Boston: Eugene Delmar,
New York; J. A. Galbreath, New Or-
leans; A. B. Hedges, New York; E.
Hymes, New York; H. H. Pillsbury,
New York; A. K. Robinson, Philadel-
phia; J. W'. Showalter, Georgetown,
Ky., and F. K. Young, Boston. Re-
serves, J. H. Hanham and Louis
Schmidt of New Y01k.
Professor Rice of the Manhattan Club
will again act in the capacity of um-
pire for the British team in Brooklyn.
while Baron Albert von Rothschild of
Vienna and Champion Laskcr will, as
before, fill the positions of referee and
adjudicator, respectively. The Brook—
lyn Chess Club will have charge of all
the arrangements at this end. Presi-
dent Hagen of the club has charge of
the United States team.
BLANCHE K. BRUCE DEAD.
legister of Treasury Succumbs to Com-
plication of Diseases.
Washington, March 18.—Blanche K.
Bruce, Register of Treasury, died yes-
terday. His death had been expected
for several days. He suffered from a
complication of stomach troubles
which at fii st appeared not serious, but
last week he lost st iength steadily, and
toward the close of the week it became
apparent that his vitality was ebbing
rapidly.
~11
Blanche K. Bruce was born in Prince
Edward County, Virginia, March 1,
1841. He was of African descent, was
born a slave and received the rudi-
ments of education from the tutor of
his master’s son. He taught school
for a time in Hannibal, Mo., and later
became a planter in Mississippi, and
was appointed a member of the Missis-
sippi Levee Board. He was elected
Sheriff of his county and subsequently
Superintendent of Education.
In 1813 he was elected United States
Senator as a Republican, and served
until 1881. He was a member of every
Republican national convention held
Since 1868. In 185-1 he was appointed
by President Garfield Register of the
Treasury, and later was appointed Re-
corder of Deeds of the District of Co-
About six months ago he was
again appointed Register of the Treas-
ury by President McKinley. Next
after Fred Douglass Mr. Bruce had
long been regarded as perhaps the
most conspicuous man of his race.

PROCTOR’S TRIP TO CUBA.
Makes a Stalenlcnt Concern-
L‘iis Visit to the island.
£112 Senator
111;;
RH'asldngton, March 18.——Senator
Procter, of Vermont. who returned last
Sunday from an extended trip to and
through the Island of Cuba. yesterday
afternoon made a. statement to the
Senate of his observations on the isl-
and. He began by saying that more
lmportance had been attached to his
visit than necessary, but thought a
public statement would be beneficial.
The only thing, he said, that he had
said about the matter to the President
was that he was going and asked if
there was any objection to it and was
told that there was none. He had let-
ters from Assistant Secretary of State
Day. He said that General Lee and
other United States representatives in
Cuba afforded him opportunity to se-
cure information. He denied that he
made the statement that the Maine
was blown up from the outside, but
might have said that was the opinion
in Havana. The Senator thought
there was no definite information to be
obtained upon this feature. Outside
of Havana there was desolation and
misery. People were surrounded by
trochas and controlled by forts or
blockhouses.
His observations, he said, were in the
four western provinces. Outside of
the trochas and forts there were no
habitations or people living. The Span-
iards, he said, held in the four Vprov-
inces only what their army sits on.
Senator Proctor described at some
length the condition of the reconcen-
trados, saying one- half of them had
died owing to the manner in which
they had been kept in the small houses
and sanitation. It was no wonder that
half had died, he added. He went to
Cuba, he said, thinking the condition
of the people had been/overdrawn, but
found theii situation telrible. “mat
he saw he could not tell so others
could see.
In one place in Havana, the Senator
said, he saw 400 emaciated people lying
on stone floors with little clothing. The
children had no clothing.
Mr. Proctor stated that the food sup-
plies sent from the United States had
greatly relieved the sufferings. There
was no telling", however,V when the sup—
plies would cease to be needed unless
the war should soon come to an end.
Gen. Blanco, he declared, was an ami-
able and kind man, but he knew all
Cubans were insurgents at heart, and
therefore rather rigorous military reg-
ulations had to be enforced.
American people may be assured, he
continued, that their bounty will reach
the destitute and he added the condi-
tion of the reconcentrados will not be
changed until peace comes.
Speaking of the military power of
Spain in Cuba, Mr. Proctor said that
there were now 60,000 soldiers there—all
that Vvere left of 200,000 that had been
sent there. He described them as for
the most part young and small—not
weighing 011 an average over 130
pounds.
He understood that they never saw
a drill. He had seen perhaps 10,000
Spanish troops who had not a. piece of
artillery or a tent, and who had little
or no equipment for a field campaign.
Their cavalry horses were scrubby lit-
tle native ponies, tough and hardy,
but generally in wretched condition,
reminding him of the mounts of Don
Quixote and his squire.
Of the 1,600,000 people in Cuba, Mr.
Proctor, thought that not over 200,000
exclusive of the soldiers give alle-
giance to the Spanish Government.
Not over 25 per cent. of the people of
the island were Vvhite;. the balance
were colored, and the white population
had been gradually decreasing.
In conclusion he said:
“I have endeavored to state what I
saw and heard. It was the spectacle
of a million and a. nalf of people—the
entire native population of Cuba—
struggling for freedom and. deliverance,
with practical unanimity, from the
worst miss-government of which I ever
had knowledge.
“V’Vhether our action ought to be in-
fluenced by any of these things, and if
so, how far, is another question. 1
am not in favor of annexation. Reme-
ial steps may safely be left to an Amer-
ican President and the American peo-
ple.”
Mr. Proctor’s statement led to no
comment in the Senate.

PREJUDIGIAL T0 AUTONOMY
Views of the Spanish Cabinet Concerning
Our Emergency llIeasures and the As-
scnilfling of Ships at‘Key “'cst Corn-
municnted to State Department.
Viiashington, March 17.‘-—The war
preparations being made by the United
States, the assembking of ships at Key
West, the purchase of cruisers abroad
and the emergency measures in the
War and Navy Departments, have
come to, the official attention of the
Spanish Government, and the views
of the Spanish Cabinet thereon have
been communicated to the State De-
partmcnt.
This has not taken the form of pro-
test, however, as it does not: appear
that the Spanish Government claims
or asserts the right to question such
internal measures as the United States
may adopt, even though they be of a
character to indicate preparations for
war. It is rather by way of represen-
tations, conveyed in a friendly spirit
and without threat, as to the serious
influences which these preparations
will have in encouraging the Cuban in-
surgents at the moment when the au-
tonomy plan is to have its crucial trial
through the Cuban elections, and in
this way defeat the reforms Premier
Sagasta. is seeking to carry out. It
has been specially pointed out that the
presence of a. large fleet of United
States war ships at Key West cannot
be regarded as a friendly measure. as
the sending of ships was officially rep-
resented to be when the Maine went to
Havana and the Vizcaya returned the
complimentary visit. '
In short, the presence‘ of this exten-
sive fleet near Cuba, together with the
war measures taken by the United"
States, are regarded by Spain as seri-
ously prejudicial to the policy of 8.11-
tonomy which Spain and the United
States have alike approved, and an
indirect encouragement to the insur-
gents in defeating the desires of both
governments for the success of that
policy. Finally, and in the same spirit
of friendly representation rather than
of protest Spain has pointed out that a.
war by the United States against
Spain under such circumstances would
be unjustifiable before the world, and
a crime against humanity and civiliza—
tion.
The representations
reference whatever to the Maine dis-
aster or to redress or indemnity
therefor.
The published semi-official statement
of the Spanish Cabinet’s views as to
the responsibility of the United States
in the Cuban situation has created a
pxofound impression.
Officials decline to discuss it publicly,
but there is a general belief among
them that the publication marks the
beginning of a new chapter in the
troubled relations between the United
States and Spain.
The statement is believed to be a
first step toward forming public opin-
ion in Europe in anticipation of a fail-
ure on the part of the Spanish officials
to make a. success of the autonomous
programme which it had outlined, and
that an attempt is to be made to place
the responsibility upon the United
States for any failure that may fol-
low. This movement is regarded as
adding much to the gravity of the
present situation.
That the administration will be in-
fluenced by the suggestion that the
presence of the fleet of the North At-
lantic Squadron at Key West is a dis-
turbing factor is not believed for a
moment. Visible evidence of that de-
termination was the ceaseless activ-
ity of the naval officials as well as
the steady prosecution of the plan of
the \Var Department to-day.
Although the‘ Secretary of the Navy
is still pursuing with vigor his quest
fors suitable “firships that may be pur-
chased in Europe, beyond the two al-
ready secured at the Armstrong works,
no further acquisitions have been
made.
INDEMNITY FOR THE MAINE.
Treasury Auditor Morris Says President
\Vill Demand It When Time Arrives.
Cleveland, March 17.--Fra.nk H. Mor-
ris, Fourth Auditor of the Treasury
and a personal friend of President Mc-
Kinley, who is at present in Cleveland,
in speaking of the Cuban question,
said:
“There will be no war. Whatever
the agency was, the officials at Wash-
ington are positive that the Spanish
officials had nothing. to‘ do with the
blowing up of the Maine. The Presi-
dent, when the time arrives, will de-
mand an indemnity and it will be
paid.”
Mr. Morris’ department has charge
of the work of settling the claims of
the heirs of those lost by the Maine
disaster. “We have found on investi-
gation that out of 37 8 men who were
on the boat, 63 were foreigners, ” said
Mr. Morris.
“Of the 253 who were killed we have
succeeded in getting mto correspond-
ence with 127 claimants. It will sur-
prise you to know that less than 10
per cent. of this number had families
depending on them and many have no
direct heirs." -

W'ashingt'on. March 17.-——T. V. Pow-
