Extra OUTBREAK UNLIKELY Effect of Maine Report Already Dis- counted in Havana. THE TROUBLE MAY COME LATER ON An Intimation of Intervention Would Bring It About. VIEWS OF EUROPEAN AGENTS (Copyright, 1898, by Charles M. Pepper.) Special Cablegram From Staff Correspondent. HAVANA, March 26, via Port Tampa, Fla., March 27.—Havana is prepared for the naval board’s report on the Maine dis- aster. The public has known for two weeks that this court would declare the explosion was external. It has alse been known that the Spanish government hed no confidence in the report to be made by the Spanish court uphclding the theory of accident, or that it would command the belief of other nations. One reason was the knowledge thet other divers had made no such thorough investi- gation as had been meade by the Maine divers. Possibly another reason was the conviction that what the Spanish divers Gid learn was not what they were wanted to learn. That the plan of the Sagasta ministry was to keep the subject open was well un- derstood when the first suggestiou of arbi- tration was thrown out. Whatever is said or done in Washington in regard to the Maine is not likely to take this community by surprise. There is no more likelihood of an imme- diate outbreak because of the Maine report than there has been during the last three months from other causes. The volcano is here, but it is still slumbering. News Will Come Piecemenl. Tke probability is that the authorities will permit the full history of what hap- pens in the United States to be published only in instailments. It may be several days before the puBtic hears all the facts; this is especially likely to be the case if President McKinley’s message is at all aggressive and if radical action by Con- gress is foreshadowed. Capt. Gen. Blanco has every advantage, therefore, toward preventing an uprising. tke Spanish classes believe war with the United States is probable and they are preparing for it. In the ardor of their Patriotism and loyalty they are too intent on being ready to make it likely they will break spasmodically. It is true that the attacks on Consul General Lee and the Americen consuls throughout the island Hecht and Company. Skip all other shirt waist sales for these.

W. heave been renewed and the newspapers have teen dafly tnciting feeling against the American correspondents for sending news of the developmerts which showed that the Maine was blown up. Neverthe- less this campaign of patriotism has been directed to a definite end and a premature showing of it might defeat the purpose. The government officials have had since ‘Lhursday night their orders from Madrid to prepare the army and navy and the civil pewcrs for war with the United States. In the intensity of loyalty the Spanish class=s trust the authorities in.plicitly. They may rectrain themselves from indulging in anti- American demonstrations until the signal is given. This applies alike to the army, to the volunteers and to the populac: What they will do if a reversal of policy should come from Madrid and concession: be made which are hateful to them need not be guessed at until the change of front is made in Spain. Maine Incident is Separated. The Maine incident is treated as entire- ly separate and distinct from the general situation. This will be pleasing to the Spanish authorities. If it is treated as a part of the general demoralization which etists, and which shows that there is practically no such thing as sovereignty in Cuba today, the irritation will be very great. Nevertheless they will be able to stand this and even more. Some hints have been given them that recognition of Cuban independence is under ccnsideraticn. The certainty that this was coming might set them wild. But the Sagasta ministry would be looked to for direction. All realize that the day for the recognition of belligerency has passed. Should the policy decided on in Wash- ington be a final offer of mediation between Spain and the insurgents before acknowl- edging independence some members of the autonomist government would welcome it, but they would be the few Cubans who were drawn into a political move- ment that has failed and who want to be relieved of their burden. The dominating government class, which is Spanish, would find little choice between intervention based on the terms for arranging indepen- dence and the recognition of indepen- dence itself. The latter might enable them to keep up the fiction that the Spanish arms in Cuba are doing some fighting against the insurgents. It will also satisfy their desire to yield Cuba with “honor.” Intervention Not Considered. Direct armed intervention by the United States has apparently not been considered probable. Neither the government nor its supporters are ready for that. Representatives of European commer- cial houses in Havana are watching ex- pected developmenis in Washington keenly. In some respects their opportunities for forming opinions are better than those of the Americans. Their judgment is abso- lutely cold blooded. Said one of them to me: “Your people need not look for an im- mediate outburst here, but they will make a grave mistake if they assume that these crazy Spaniards are not likely to fight— perhaps just when everything seems most peaceful. Their hope of putting down the insurrection is gone and they may do some wild things while they are trying to let go. “The United States must settle this Cuban question, for it will never settle it- self. If your statesmen do not begin a definite settlement soon they will find it harder tc settle three months from now. It is not our affair, yet we are all praying that you will be speedy about it.” I have heard the came views from others in almost the same words with scarcely an exception. This is the kind of informa- tion that is going from Havana to the banking 2nd commercial houses in London, Berlin and Paris. Possibly it is having some influence that will be seen later. No idea on that point can be formed here. These Opinions Valuable. If there are persons in the United States who think that the crisis in the relations with Spain can be averted by giving auton- omy further time to demonstrate its fail- ure, they might study with advantage the epinions of these financial and commercial representatives. A question has been raised whether the reconcentrados will be in “issue,” and whether further irritation will not be caused by the President or Congress mak- ing a point of their condition before the whole world. The fear is groundless. Span- ish “honor” withstood the wound which was inflicted when the system of American relief was inaugurated. It cannot be hurt by anything said on the subject at this late period. An intention to continue the succor with- out removing the cause of the starving would be accepted by the authorities as giving them another period for temporizing. They might then look upon the delays pro- pesed at Madrid as giving real ground for the hope that the insurgents would receive no substantial encouragement from the United States until the rainy season is well advanced. Some of the Spanish officials who are close to Gen. Blanco cherish that delusion. They again talk about “military operations,” and what Gen. Pando may do if he has further time. New Recruits Nearly All There. All but 3,000 of the 15,000 new recruits have arrived, and are scattered over the istand. With more time these officials hope scmething might be done toward weaken- ing the insurrection, but it is a baseless hope. Tne highest military officials do not entertain it. The members of the autono- mist cabinet do not put faith in it. They krow that the only way the insurrection can be ended is through the United States. CHAS. M. PEPPER. —-—____ BURGLAR’S BOLD ACT.

Officers smiled, however; the newly detailed commander could not in his pleasure at such‘a greeting find fault and the men were ailowed to give fuil vent to their feelings. The significance of the greeting was in the general feeling that the first step had been taken toward the completion of what will be the frec-fignting squadron, and the men were apparenuy gratified Loth with the step and with the cho.ce of comminders, for Commodore Schley is krown as a conservative yet absolutely fearless and determined: fighter. Arrived Early This Morning. Commodore Schley léft Washington last night and arrived at Fort Monroe early this morning. He was met by an ensign and a boat crew of sailors, who reileved him of his baggage and received informa- tion that he would go aboard the Brook- lyn, which he has designated as flagship. At 9:30, after breakfast at the Chamber- lin Hotel, the commander of the Brooklyn, with some petty officers, took Commodore Schley atoard a launch and conveyed him to the fleet, which lies near Newport News. The commodore was in civilian dress, but Was saluted with the usual formalities as he pissed up the, Brooklyn’s compamion- way to begin active service. He was shown to quarters, which are more elab- orate than upon any warship afloat, hav- ing been prepared for exhipit when the Brooklyn visited England during the queen's jubilee. Ready for Command. Within a half hour after boarding ship Commedore Schley, in fuil uniform, was ready to take command, and the men of the fleet were drummed to quarters and the yards manned. Commodore Schley stepped to the bridge of the Brooklyn, and, reading his commizsion as commander, took possession, At the same instant his flag was breken from the Brooklyn's mast- and one of the big guhs belched forth a salute, which was answered from the Massachusetts, lying near. ee ea se ts a ee a ee ee ee a we ee eet officers of tha chusejts came aboard, together with tht officers of the Brooklyn, paid their respects.

At preseht the battle ship Massachusetts, of 10,288 tons, and capable of eighteen knots an hour, and the pro- tected first-class crifser Brooklyn, of 9,27 tons, and capable of twénty-two knots an hour, form the nucleus of the squadron. During the week it is.expected that the Minneapolis, of 7,379 tors, with a sp2ed of five knots, and the Columbia, 6,735 tens, with a speed of tWenty-three knots, will be added. While these fighting ships as cruisers Only, they are of a typ2 equal to the best battle ships of Spain. The Brooklyn, particularly, {s the highest type of a fighting machine, and its equip- ment of rapid-fire guns exceeds both in number and caliber any first-class battle ship of Spain. In speed the squadron will be unexcelled, its average speed being 21.5 knots. The four best boats in the Spanish fleet average but 18.5 knots, No Orders to Move.
