The Report Will. Not Be Given to
Congress Before Monday.
CABINET TO so: IT safely
The President IIIust Have Time for Con-
. sideration of the Report After Its Be-
ceipt-A Feeling in \‘Vashinglon That
the Country is Drifting Toward “'ar.
Washington, March Eli—The report of
the court of inquiry on the Maine ex-
plosion will be here some time to-mcr-
rowrow and the Presxdent Will have
;had a chance to read it before he lays
.it 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-
‘ifore, not likely that it will be made
public before the meeting of Congress
on Monday.
The recent conference between the
President and Speaker Reed smoothcd
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 Congress and
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 ofii-
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 Pros—
ident's words in his message:
“The near future will demonstrate
whether the indispensable condition of .
' are making by the W'ar and Navy De-
, partments, and of their evident inten-
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 ;
' Major-General commanding the army,
States will remain to be taken. YVhen
that time comes, that action will be 1
i fantry and cavalry tl‘OOps in the coun-
determined in the line ofindisputable
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—
crty of American citizens, and will
abate none of its efforts to bring about
by peaceful agencies a. peace which
shall be honorable and endurable. 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 an
approval of the civilized world.”
If, when the report arrives, the Pres-
ident and Congress see that it is their
duty to intervene, the President will
do so.
‘ ta, and Gen. Graham, the Department
' for immediate war, if it comes. is the

of the members of Congress that when 3
the report is sent to that body there i
will be a stampede for hasty action.
Against this the administration and
the leaders on both sides are trying to
guard.
ident that Congress shall act deliber-
ately and slowly in this matter, and for
this reason he has been preparing the
leaders for devolopments to come.
TVhile there is some tall: 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
It is the one desire of the Pres-.
the conferences between the President :
and the Speaker and the leaders there 9
have been productive of an assurance ;
that nothing precipitate may be feared.
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-
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 1125.009 cal-“jag“

It is true that Congress may therefore
not have occasion to deal with the.
question of the destruction of the
Maine, it is more than probable that
the greater question of the indepen—
dence of Cuba will come up for a
discussion and excitement over this
greater proposition the Maine explo-
sion will become but a mere incident.
THE CABINET MEETING.
The BIcinbers Informed That the Report
Will Arrive To-Morrow.
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-
day, maybe not until a. day or so later.
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 White 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- 2
sage, which will accompany the re-
port to Congress. In this message the
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
and having asked for an explanation.
He will lay the facts before Congress
and await its action. As a Cabinet
member said if there is to be in-
tervention, Congress will be the one
to decide how to outline the course
to be taken.
. An Official Statement.
Washington, March 23.—After the
Cabinet meeting yesterday the follow—
ing Statement was giver. out from, an
ofiicial 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 volumin01?_, document; that prob- ,
ably it will not be given to the press '
and to Congress before Monday; that
the President will require that much
time for its proper consideration.”
ARMY TO MOVE AT SHORT NOTICE.
Orders All Ready for Transmission for
the hiobilizatinn of Troops.
W'ashington. March 23.——From all
over the country come indications of
the quiet preparations for war which
tion to be found ready, however quick-
ly the call may come.
Orders have been prepared for trans—
mission from the headquarters of the

try to stations on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. I
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 effect.
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 139- ‘
partment of the Gulf.- I
It is not unlikely that these orders ‘
for the general mov ement of the
troops may be transmitted very soon.
It is expected that the greater part of
the country’s force will be ordered to -
the Department of the Gulf.
Headquarters have opened in Atlan-

or private, and is at once put into farm

THE DOLPHIN READY F07 SEA.
Dispatch float. to Go Into Commission :-t f
the Navy Yard.
Brooklyn, March 23.——The , work on
the dispatch boat Dolphin has been go—
ing on for the past two weeks and she
is now ready to go into connnission.
The Dolphin has been thoroughly
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
commission. 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 Prearrangwl 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
any prearranged programme. The Sen-
ate has adjourned frequently of late
because there was no pressing business
on its calendars.

' JACKSON AND .IE'F‘FRIES.
Much Interest BIa-nifested in the Out-
conie of the Fight To-night.
(13.1., March 22.—A
interest is being
the result . of the
light between Peter Jackson ' and
Jim Jeffries, which will be de-
rided at W'oodward’s Pavilionto-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 boxing
Is concerned has lost none of 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-
r-ipal 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
moth 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 largest men in the
pugilistic world to-day, and has been
very aptly styled the “battle of the

SPAIN HURRIES PREPARATIONS. ‘
Determined to Fight Us Rather Than Sell
or Surrender Cuba.
Madrid, March 22.--Despite the ad-
mitted conviction of all, except bluffers,
that war with the United States would
eventually result in the loss not only of
Ippine Islands, there is no wavering in
the determination to fight rather than
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.
Senor Moret, Minister of the Colonies,

' thusiastic faith in autonomyas a means

IBELITTLES OUR COAST DEFENSES.
Spain’s Army Organ Attempts to Describe
the Weakness of the United States.
Havana, March 21.—Diario del Ejer-

first page to describing the unprotected

principal fortifications are at New

take in using only home-made guns,
and while it requires 1,818 guns for
proper coast defense, it has only 100.
The Diaro del Ejercito shows that
Spain has not been idle in the matter
of gathering information, as it is able

Gage on War Probabilities.
Pittsburg, March 21.—-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 hand in the loss of the
Maine. Unless the report should prove
to the contrary, it is not likely that war
will result." .
McKinley Declines Literary \Vork.
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.

Iv, 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
yielded to every demand made by the
I'nited States, thereby acknowledging
the justice of the demands, and that
there are no more discredited men in
Spain than General VVeyler and Se-
aores de Lome and Robledo.

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.
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

In the sixth round matters were the

Reed at the “‘llite House.
Washington, March 22.—There 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
ias 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-
Ing 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

which are being built at La Seyne, for
Brazil. He has inspected the Admiral
Abrouall, a sister vessel of the Ama-

Brownson is understood to have been
highly pleased with the Abrouall,
though the United States authorities

Klondike Pilgrims Passed the Time in
Washing Pans of Gold.
Seattle, March 2L—Steamers arriving
the lower Yukon in the vicinity of Ta-
nana and Minock, where Governor Mc-
Graw and Ex-Mayor Woods’ expedi-
tions were frozen up and compelled to
make landing for the winter. 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
dt::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 shipmentsof 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 W'oods 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. , '
Tarlfl‘ 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 imposed 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 effects 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
to apply to merchandise or articles in-
tended for other persons or for sale.
