Ifiguiry Board Finishes Its Work
, . at Key West.

WILL RETURN TO HAVANA

Long’s Statement About Spain’s Account-
ability—She Might Be Free from Official
Participation, as He Stated, and Yet Not
' Free from Responsibility.

Key West, March 3,—The Maine
Commission finished its work here yes-
terday, when a. general muster of all
the survivors was held at the barracks.
The commisssion is expected to return
to Havana after the funeral of the
members of the crew whose bodies are
expected here to-day on the Coast Sur-
vey vessel Bache.

The proceedings at the barracks last-
ed about an hour and were conducted
with great privacy. Judge Advocate
Marix, in reply to inquiry, said that
so far as he knew the court has no more
work to do at Key West. Ten of the
witnesses testified as to the coaling of
the Maine at the Key West station.
Capt. Hanlon, of the steamer Mascotte,
which arrived from Havana last night,
says that when the vessel left Havana
there were no signs of impending riot
or of anti—American demonstration.
On the-contrary, everything was nor-
mally quiet.

Survivors of he Maine expect to be
ordered North when the Investigating
Commission has finished its examina-

tion. Probably it will leave to-mor-
row. ' . .

’The fact is becoming more evi-
dent as the days pass that
any information direct from mem-

bers of the United States Court of
Inquiry into the loss of the battleship

‘ Maine and from those appearing before

it is most closely guarded and that
practically no information which has
been presented to the court has been
disclosed.‘ The restrictions are so se-
vere that the communication between
the naval men who have been before
the court have been most guarded.

Naval officers at this station who are
not connected with the court express
the view that very little testimony has
yet been heard as to the exact causes
of the disaster.

SPAIN’SARESPONSIBILITY.

Secretary Long Explains His Statement
of Tuesday.

Washington, March 3.—When Secre-

tary Long made the statement Tuesday '

after the Cabinet meeting, while mere-

ly reflecting his personal opinion in the _

matter, he undoubtedly gave an inti-

mation that the administration was of I . , _
‘ wrecked the Mame was due to internal

the belief that the only conditions
which could make possible the initia-
tion of war by this country, had been
removed. The Secretary did not say
that all questions pertaining to Spain’s
responsibility for the Maine disaster
had been removed, but that the Gov-
ernment’s official participation in the
disaster was practically eliminated.
The Secretary said yesterday:

“Spain could be free from official par-
ticipation and yet not escape responsi-
bility. For instance, if it wasshown
that the Maine was blown up by a
member of the Cuban Junta, Spain
would be responsible, because the Cu-
bans are Spanish citizens. I have not
yet said that Spain will be free from
all responsibility." ’

The statement has caused a good deal
of criticism in some circles, because it
was supposed that the administration
would remain silent until after the
Court of Inquiry had given its verdict.
But, on the other hand, the announce-

' ment has done‘ much to quiet the dis-

turbing elements that have been trying
to impress the Spanish Government
with the idea. that the administration
had made up its mind to precipitate a
war, and therefore Secretary 'Long’s
words are significant, not as indicating
where the responsibility rests, but as
indicating the course of the administra-
tion when the report of the Board of
Inquiry is finally made, and that is that
there. Will be no declaration of war by
this Government.

OFFICIAL TENSION RELIEVED.

No Dispatches Received in Washington—
Cruiser Brooklyn Goes South.

Washington, March 3.—The tension
over the Maine affair is noticeably re-
lieved in official quarters, partly be-
cause of the absence of dISpatches to
the State or Navy Departments, hear-
\ing on the subject, and also because of
the conservatism inspired by Secretary
Long’s utterance.

Although the Navy Department had
no reports from Havana or Key West,
a dispatch announcing the departure of

- the cruiser Brooklyn from Santa Lucia

for La Guayra had some indirect sig-
niflcance in further removing one of the
larger vessels of the navy from what
has thus far been the common centre
of naval activity, at Key West. The
Brooklyn will make a short .stop at La
‘,Guayra, and will then proceed further
southward.

At the Spanish legation the Maine

inquiry is not the subject of official at—
‘tention and beyond sharing in the gen-
eral interest that is felt in the subject
the legation officials have no occasion
to consider officially any of the phases
of the affair.
' =Mr. Du Bosc feels satisfied, from all
he advices he has received, that the
inquiry and proceedings at Havana are
being facilitated by both parties. He
says the Spanish officials gave the full-
est opportunities to the American div—
ers, in making their investigations of
the wreck and that Captain Sigsbee has
shown the same consideration to the
Spanish officials and "their divers.

 

' To succor Cuba’s Starving.
Washington; March
Long. has decided to send two naval
vessels to Cuba at once with forty or
fifty tons of provisions for the relief of
the suffering reconcentrados. The ves-

* ';sel's_ will go to Matanzas or Sagua. It

is said that it is an emergency that
makes it necessary to send ‘provisiOns
inorder to succor the starving. The

,Montgomery will take supplies to Ma-
‘ tanzas and the _Nashville supplies to
‘ Sagua la Grande.
' 'stop in Cuban waters, but will return
‘ immediately after delivering their sup-
, plies, which were furnished by the New ,

CONTRAC 1' FOR PROJ ECTILES

Action of Conference Committee in Ap-
propriatin‘g Money for That Purpose.

Washington, March 3.—-—The action of}

the Conference Committee on the Fora
tifications Appropriation bill in agree—
ing to the appropriation of $943, 000 for
ammunition will relieve the War De-
partment of some embarrassment
which might occur had only the usual
appropriation been made. Within the
last few days, the department has con-
tracted for nearly $1,000,000 of projec-
tiles for the new high-power guns
mounted in the coast fortifications.
These contracts were made as an emer-
gency step, and evidently with the full
understanding that the pending bill
would carry a sufficient appropriation
to pay for them.

The agreement has been signed be-
tween the Ordnance Bureau and repre-
sentatives of the big steel companies
making the projectiles. The gentle-
men representing these companies came
here in response to telegrams, and
there was no difficulty in making the
arrangements, and it is said that they
agreed to deliver all the shells, 5, 000 in
all, in the next four or six months. The
shells are to be of 8, 10 and 12-inch cali-
ber, and are needed for the high-power
guns already mounted in the coast de-
fense batteries.

Senator Proctor’s Cuban Visit.

Havana, March 3.—Senator Proctor
and his party returned to the city last
evening after spending the day at Ma-
tanzas, where they were shown every
attention by United States Consul
Brice. The members of the party‘s};-
pressed the deepest sympathy for the
suffering Cubans, of whom they saw
many. About ten or twelve miles out
of Havana the train ran slowly because
the insurgents had cut the wires, and
Senator Proctor, on his return, was
told that there had been a small skir-
mish not many miles from the line, in
which five or six men had been
wounded.

 

“A Grave Emergency,” Says Alger.

Washington, March 3—Secretary of
War Alger had several heated inter-
views yesterday with members of Con-
gress who wanted to know why he
made contracts for $1,000,000 worth of
ammunition without waiting for Con-
gressional action on the App1opriation
bill. Secretary Alger said that the
country was confronted with a grave
emergency, and that statutory provi—
sion conferred authority on him to act
without waiting for Congress. “If Con-
gress should decide that 1 \l- as wrong,

said the Secretary, “I will pay the bill'

myself. "

 

Spanish Report on the Disaster.
Madrid, March 3.—The Spanish Gov-
ernment, on Monday, received a report
from the Spanish authorities at Ha-
vana, saying that the explosion which

causes, and adding that it was believed
that the United States experts “will
admit this wit‘: out reservation of any
kind.”

De Lome Will Have Revenge.
. London, March 3,—Senor Dupuy de
Lorne, late Spanish Minister to the
United States, who is still in London,
has signified his intention to devote his
leisure to the production of a book in
which he will detail the circumstances
leading to his writing the notorious
letter which compelled his resignation.

Pope Leo in Good Healtl1.'

‘ Rome, March 3.-—The twentieth anni-
versary of the coronation of Pope Leo
XIII. was celebrated yesterday. His
Holiness, who was in excellent health,
received the congratulations of the high
prelates in the Throne Room. He re-
called the demonstrations on the oc-‘
casion of his sacerdotal and pontifical
anniversaries and protested against the
outrages aimed at this enthusiasm. It
was painful to His Holiness that aspi—
rations of the faithful toward Rome
should be misrepresented. But in or—
der to console the Papacy for these out-
rages God had increased the love of the
multitude for the Papacy in Rome and
throughout the world. The Pope also
celebrated his eighty-eighth birthday
yesterday.

'Committee on Post Offices and Post'

' Hisscs Greet McKinley’s Name.

New York, March 3.——-When W'.
Bourke Cochran, in a. speech at the
mass meeting held at Cooper Union.
last night, to protest against the Lodge
immigration bill, made an allusion to
President McKinley, he was drowned
by hisses; when he spoke slightingly of
Bryan, the hisses continued, though
several applauded. But when the
speaker made a remark which the au-
dience took to be an allusion to the
heroes of the Maine disaster, he was
cheered enthusiastically. Mr. Coch-
ran attacked the United States Senate,
calling it a body of “machinists with-
out ability.” He termed the Lodge
bill “a product of material and moral
darkness.” Resolutions were adopted
condemning the Lodge bill as being
against the best interests of labor and
opposed to the traditional policy of the
United States.

 

Funeral of William M. Singer-1y.
Philadelphia, March 3.—-The funeral
services of William M. Singerly, the
publisher and editor, were held at his
residence yesterday afternoon, but
the doors were opened at 11 o’clock to

permit the public to look upon his fea-

tures. From the moment admission
was obtained, until the services ”began,
a period of nearly four hours, an un-
broken line of people passed through
the parlor where the casket had been
placed, and then out at the rear of the
house.‘ This constant stream included

thousands of persons in every walk of
life, and there were seen in the line

representatives of the National, State
and municipal governments, men- prom-
inent in every political faction or party,
bankers, merchants, editors, lawyers,
and many workmen who had seen years
of service in Mr. Slngerly’s employ.

Chicago, March 3.—Dr. Francis
Brooks, a young. physician,' Was shot
and seriously wounded last ‘ night by
Patrolmen Burke and Duffy, who ihad
been summoned to the house by'the
family to control Dr. Brooks. The
mind of the young physician lately has
become affected by overstudy, and last.
night he alarmed the members of his
family by his handling of a large carv-
ing knife. . The policemen were called
for, and as soon as Burkeand Dufiy
appeared Dr. Brooks attacked them
with the knife. Burke fired at him
point—blank, the bullet striking Dr.
Brooks in the left arm. He continued
his attack, however, and Duffy fired,
hitting the doctor in the side, inflicting
a wound. that may prove fatal.
