T0UcHED AT FENCES OF He is Ready for’Any Duty Under “the Starry Flag: AT THE NAVY DEPARTMENT Capt. Sigsbee, the brave commander of the Maine, arrived in Washington this mofhing at 7:40 o'clock. He was accom- panied by Chief Engineer Howell, Naval Cadet Holden, Paymaster Ray and Sur- geon Hennelberger. The latter left imme- diately for his hame in Virginia. Capt. Sigsbee was driven directly to his residence, No. 1632 Riggs place. As the carriage turned into Riggs-place from 16th street the face pf its occupant lighted up with Pleasure at the'sight of the scores of Amer- ican flags, big, Tittle and medium sized, tliat were,thrown out from the house fronts on either side of Higgs place. A royal wel- come naturally awaited him from his de- voted wife’ and ‘his interesting daughters, and he also hadithe pleasure, of making the acquaintance ‘of a new grandchild. After removing the stains of travel and breakfasting, Capt. Sigsbee spent a couple of hours with his family and then proceed- ed to the Navy Department to report to Secretary Long. 4f the gallant commander of the Maine had arrived last night, whenshis family and the general public expected him, he would have been still more impressed with the feeling entertained for him by the peo- ple of Washington. All the houses on Riggs place were brilliantly illuminated, and from most of them floated flags and bunting. A very large crowd began to gather about 9 o'clock in Riggs place and an hour and a half later the entire street and the vacant lots opposite thé Sigsbee residence were.crowded with a gathering of about 2,000 people. There was a very large crowd gathered at the 6th street depot also when the 9:35 train arrived’ ‘When it was found that Capt. Sigsbee did not come at that time most of the people ‘waited for the next train from the far south, which arrived at 11:30, and still bore its disappointment good naturedly when this, too, failed to bring the popular trav- eler. Capt. Sigsbee brought with him the floral ship that was presented to him jug before his departure from’Havana, and a large number of other floral offerings that were presented to him during his journzy home. Their faded remains this morning were in the capiain’s parlor and made a striking contrast to the Yreshiness of some of the Magnificent offerings of a similar character sent to him last ‘night, although the s2nti- ment of all was:equally fragrant. Two of these latter tributés |were particularly ex- quisite. From the. hydrographic office was sent a vase of Ameri¢an beauty rofes, and from Mr. J. Maury. Dove was a very large vase filled with American beauties on stems of unusual length; frem one side of which floated the American flag and from the other the Unjon Jack, Ready'for Any Duty. At 10:30 o'clock the captain arrived at the Navy Department to report his-arrival, and in the cours¢“of # conversation he«said that he had notryet received any-assign- ment to duty, not did he know what ‘com- mand would be given him. He would be ready, however, us soon ‘as h2 could get his wardrobe replenished to go anywhere or perform any duty that might be given him. He had not yet made any formal written report to the department on th2 loss of the Maine, but would do 90 as soon as he had @ little time at his disposal. As to the cause of the wreck, Capt. Sigsbee said that he could add nothing to his testimony be- fore the court of inquiry which had already been published. The Spanish Board of Inquiry. The Spanish officials were making an in- quiry into the cause of the disaster, but whet their conclusions were, if any had been arrived at, he did not know. A few divers under the direction of some non- commission2d officer were working letsure- ly about the wreck, but he had understood that the court was paying special attention to outside matters. They had found, he had hgard, that be- cause there were no dead fish in the harbor after the explosion showed that the explo- sion did not create such a disturbance of the water as might have heen expected had the force come from the outside. However, this was only hearsay, he having no knowl- edge of their proceedings. Bitter Feeling Against This Country. The captain said that, as every one knew, the general feeling among Spaniards in Havara was bitter against this country, but he did not know whether the proposed sending of governmental aid would meet with any sericus opposition. The cuptain said he knew very little of the general sit- uation, and therefore had formetl no opiu- ion as to whether this country was likely to become involved in a war with Spain. Residents of Havana, he said, knew little or nothing of what was occurring in Mad- rid beyond what is reported in American newspapers. The captain seemed-in good health and spirits, considering the intense strain that had been upon’ him during the last six weeks, and felt himself physically fit to perform any duty which (Should be assigned to him. —____~+e-_____ Landmark in Danger.
