Consul-General Lee seems anxious to what Senator Proctor says. When I told the Consul last night that the Senator would arrive this morning he appeared surprised and admitted it was the first information he had re- Lee promptly added, however, that the fact that he, the Consul-General, had not been in- formed was the best possible evidence that no official significance could rea- sonably be attached to Senator Proc- tor's visit. Despite these statements, Senator Proctor’s well-known relations of in- timacy with the President, his record in the Senate and the War Department and his reputation for coolness and good judgment, cause Americans in Havana to accept his explanation with some degree of incredulity. Persons who have known the Senator for years to-day remarked that he does not look like a man who needs travel for his health. Mr. Proctor, in fact, appears particularly robust. It is even pointed out that there are other localities in the tropics which under present condi- tions, may justly be regarded as more nearly ideal health resorts than the city of Havana. —_— THE NAVAL COURT HAS LEFT HAVANA. Will Resume Its Sessions to Take Testimony at Key West, Prob- ably on Monday Morning. HAVANA, Feb. 26—The lighthouse tender Mangrove sailed at half-past 5 this afternoon for Key West with mem- bers of the Naval Court of Inquiry on board. Their purpose is to make a leisurely run to Key West and resume the sessions there on Monday morning. In all probability four or five days will be long enough to secure all the testi- mony in ey West, and at the expira- Ltion of that time Havana will again be- come the scene of investigation. It is believed now the board will not be sat- | down harbor and isfigd to submit its report until it has had a better opportunity of actually in- specting the bottom of the wrecked ship. This will not be possible, of course, until the more poweriul wreck- ing apparatus now en route from New York has arrived here and had time enough to raise the shattered ship, at least partially, and ‘clear- away- the mud from around her-hulk." The concluding session to-day was one of considerable.importance. Cap- tain Sigsbee was recalled to go over certain portions of his: previous testi- mony. Consul General Lee visited the Man- grove shortly ' before she sailed and conferred briefly with the” members of the board. » He was not there as a wit- ness, but rather as the escort of Sena- tor Proctor and - his traveling com- panion, M. M. Parker..of Washing- ton. The party first visited Captain Cowles on board the Fern and then came over to the Mangrove in one of the Fern’s boats. Senator Proctor was presented to the members of the board and then, after a brief informal con- ference with Consul General Lee, dur- | ing which the members of the court referred to the prospects of their early return here, tire. General and Senator went ashore and the Mangrove headed had soon passed Moro Castle. The greater part of to-day's session was again devoted to Ensign®Powel- son, who had been recalled to elaborate his previous testimony. The board ex- amined him in great detail and put the expert young constractor through a series of technical questions. Mr. Pow- elson used elaborate drawings to illus- trate his testimony and showed a thor- ough, knowledge of the subject, an- swering all questions put by Judge Ad- vocate Marix and Captain Chapman, who for a time assumed the role of questioner. Senator Proctor and his Washington friend visited Dr. Brunner to-day un- der Consul General Lee’s escort. The vaccinatibn marks were not so recent as they ought to have been and so the distinguished Sena‘or had to submit his arm to the lance of Dr. Brunner, who is no respector of persons. Even Sen- atorial dignity had to yield to vaccine virus, and it yielded gracefully. Only three bodies were recovered to- day. The platform to be constructed for the use of the divers is not yet ready, and the work consequently was not so successful as was hoped. One body, that f J. W. Johnson, was iden- tified later through tattoo marks on the arms. Fred Holzer, reported dying in an earlier dispatch, died in the hespital to- day. B ARCHBISHOP IRELAND ON THE NATION'S CRISIS. If Guilt Is Brought to Spai Justice Must Be Done NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Archbishop Ireland, who is in this city, sald in an interview to-day on the Spanish ques- tion: “I have fully considered everything that I have seen in the papers and while at. Washington I talked to the officials of the Government, and in my opinien nothing has yet come to light that would, in my judgment, call for a rupture between the United States and Spain. Certainly, if guilt is brought to the door of Spain full retributive jus- tice should be the order of the day. Liberal indemnity, apologies and full reparation ought to be preferable to the legislators rather than that course which would entail - the country into the consequences of war. . “The attitude of the administration is dignified, worthy of this great na- tion. War scares and the clamors of war do not move it. It awaits the ne- cessity of war, meanwhile making ready. Mr. McKinley will not rush the country into a needless confilct. Should the honor of the country demand that Mr. McKinley sign the proclamation of war, he will do it with the same love for peace, the same courage and the same trust in the God of our nation that characterized Abraham Lincoln nearly forty years ago.” “What is the attitude of the Catholic church at this time?” was asked. “The Catholic church assumes no at- titude of any kind. She has not bee: called upon the scene. The fact thal Spain is a Catholic nation matters nothing. The question is not one of re- ligion. If there is a question at all, it is not one of national and international right and nothing else.” ’s Door, Gould If there were no other means of prov- ing the great blood-enriching power of | Hood's Sarsaparilla, the grateful testi- | monials from thousands of weak, tired, | tortured with and weak discouraged headaches, women, indigestion nerves, who have found complete re- “Not Eat- ADVERTISEMENTS. ~Al rilla is just what such people need, be- cause it makes rich, pure, nourishing biood.

When the Bill Is Reported It ‘Will Be Speedily Passed by Congress. ‘War Department Makes Arrange- ments for the Two New Regi- ments of Artillery. . Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: Secre- tary Long may have to walt until the latter part of next week or longer for the legislation which he has asked au- thorizing the enlistment of 1500 addi- tional seamen. Chairman Boutelle of the Naval Committee received the Sec- retary’s letter this morning, but he did not think the necessity for legislation was so urgent as to warrant him in calling a special meeting of the Naval Committee to consider the draft of the bill the Secretary submitted. When I saw Boutelle late this evening he sald he had not given the matter amuch con- sideration, and he did not know wheth- er he would call a special meeting for Monday -or not. He consulted with Speaker Reed and with Senator Hale, chairman of the Senate Naval. Com- mittee, during the day, but he would not say that any programme had been agreed upon. Should his committee meet and report the bill there is no question whatever as to its speedy pas- sage through theé House under a spe- clal order from the Committee on Rules. One matter that prevents Boutelle giving much attention to the request of Secretary Long for more sailors is his great anxiety to get the bill for the relief of the survivors and the heirs of the victims of the Maine disaster through Congress as quickly as pos- sible. . Representative Cannon, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, is opposing the consideration of this bill at present. The officials of the War Department have completed all the preliminary ar- rangements fer the immediate execu- tion of the bill, which is expected to be- come a law within the next few days. providing for two additional regiments of artillery. There will be no difficulty whatever in securing men, applications for enlistment having been received far in excess of the number required, viz., 1610 men. -{reat care will be taken in the recruiting, and only the best men will be accepted. Under the law | all the new men must be citizens of the United States. It is probable the ranks will be recruited to a large extent from men who have already served one or more terms in the army. As fast as recruited they will be gathered at the recruiting rendezvous and held to awalit the action of the, general com- manding. The principal rendezvous for recruits are at Fort Slocum, New York; ‘Washington Barracks, Columbus Bar- racks, Ohio; Fort Sheridan, IIl, and Jefferson Baracks, Mo. The present intention is to transfer experienced non-commissioned officers and men to the new regiments as a nucleus for their organization and to fill their places by promotion and recruits. With the two new regiments there will be seven regiments of artillery, and the total strength of the army, including the hospital corps, ordnance and engi- neer battalion and the West Point de- tachment, will be increased to nearly 27,000 men. MERCHANTS CONSPIRED TO DESTROY THE MAINE Three Spaniards of Havana Alleged ° to Have Bought Explosives From the Government. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—A special to a morning paper from Key West, Fla., says: I have to-day received private information from Havana that con- vinces me that the de struction of the Maine was the work of three Spanish merchants. They have stores on Muralla street between Habana and Villegas streets. These men obtained the torpedo or mine from sone one connected with the Spanish Government, and gave it to one of the three eonspirators. though only a part of the money has been paid. One of the men employed was a.well-known diver of Regla, the best in the harbor. The spot selected to place the bat- tery, connected by wire with the mine or torpedo, was over a bank called Bajo de Santa Cataline, close to the Maine. This information comes from a source that gives it great weight. I have reason to believe that this clew will lead to the detection of the per- petrators of the Maine outrage. The information that the mine or fixed torpedo was operated from Santa Catalina wharf comes to me from two sources as well as the statement that the men engaged in the work were poorly paid for the hideous success. Santa Catalina is a huge old hos- pital built out in the water across from Havana. It has been avandoned for some time and its deserted vastness would afford all the opportunity want- ed by a set of skilled divers to operate from. Here the conspirators met nizht after night and planned the destruc- tion of the battle-ship. « They had but a shi t distance to go after leaving the wharf, and as the air pump was worked inside out of sight, and as the diver moved be- neath the water it was impossible for the watch on the ship to observe the movements of those working to place the mine. —_— More Wreckers for Havana. NEW YORK, Feb. 26—At the office of the Merritt & Chapman Dredging and Wrecking Company to- day it was said that the wrecking tug Underwriter of Boston and the derrick Chief would start from here to-day for Havana to assist in the work of re- moving salvage and raising the wreck of the Maine. Captain Kearn Feeney said the company sent seventy-five men to Havana to aid in the work of raising the Maine, and that this week the big derricks, the Reliance and the Monarch, would be senttoHavana. The The four were to receive $10,000, al-| FILIBUSTERS ARE LANDED Dauntless Carries a Big Expedition to the Cubans. i Large Supplies of Ammunition and Medicines Taken to General Garcia. Leaders of the Expedition Talk of Spanish Treachery and Plots to Kill General Lee. Special Dispatch to The Call .NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—A Key West special to the Herald says: The most important expedition that has gone into Cuba since the insurrection began has just been successfully landed-from the famous filibuster Dauntless by “Dynamite” Johnny O’Brien and Dr. M. Nunez. This was, in fact, a double expedition, landings having been made in Santiago de Cuba and then in Pinar del 'Rio. The steamship City of Key West arrived from- Miami this after- noon, having on board besides O'Brien and Nunez J. C. Carlaya, Emilio Nu- nez, Justa Corrillo, Ambrose Diaz, R. Hernandez, F. Alonzo and Frank Plaguchi. These men were taken up at 10 o’clock this morning at Bay Hunda, a small key about thirty miles from here. " The Dauntless came closé up to that key just before daybreak this morning and dropped them there, and then steamed away for some northern port, where she will be likely séized by United States officials. “Dynamite Johnny"” O'Brien was highly elated when I saw him this af- ternoon. He refused to admit he had been aboard the Dauntless, but freely admitted he had been in charge of an ‘tmportant and successful filibustering expedition. “We gave to General Calixto Gar- cia,” he said to me, “five hundred thou- sand rounds of ammunition, a large number of modern rifles and dynamite enough to blow up many Spanish forts. More than that, we gave him three ex- pert electricians with wires and bat- teries necessary for firing dynamite safely and successfully. We landed considerable quantities of eclothing, shoes, physicians and medicines. The medicine is in charge of four trained nurses, who are protected by Red Cross passports and who will nurse the sick and wounded insurgents. About forty volunteers left our expedition to join Garcia’s forces. ~We were met by a body of cavalry numbering perhaps 200, for we are sure our goods got into the right hands this time. This land- ing was made without interruption on the morning of the 20th. “Five days later ‘we made the land- ing in Matanzas Province, where thirty men took charge of 400,000 rounds of ammunition, several cases of rifles, quantities of dynamite with electrical accessories, clothing, provisions and medicines. All this has no doubt reached General Diaz before now. We weré so secure of our position in the east that we remained where we had made the landing for twelve hours, and then turned our noses toward Bay Hunda. Our homeward run was with- out incident, but we had two scares on the run for Cuba. I can’t tell you when and where it was, but the first night after we took the expedition aboard we came near poking our way into serious difficulty. We were just about to run out from behind one of the keys when the lookout saw a finger from the flash- light strike the sea a quarter of a mile before us. We slowed down, and an in- vestigation showed a warship of the United States not far off. “Had we not seen the flashlight five minutes would have carried us into full view of the ship. As it was we soon slipped away unperceived. Off the south coast of Cuba we sighted what we took to be a French man-of-war. ‘We were seen, too, but no notice was taken of us. Later on we caught a glimpse of a Spaniard, but as we had no business with him we did not speak him, you may be sure. As he showed a disposition to hug the shore, we were compelled to run out to sea, and in that way lost twenty hours, but it is all right. When we next approached Cuba we found the coast clear, and running to the place of landing agreed upon, found Garcia’'s cavalry awaiting us. After that our expedition was without incident. ‘“We knew nothing of the destruction of the Maine until picked up by the City of Key West to-day. We were shocked, indeed, but.knowing Spanish character, were not greatly surprised. I am convinced that should we send another warship on a ‘friendly’ mis- sion to Havana it would meet the fate of the Maine. on the Mascot to-night for Port Tam- pa and will proceed directly to New York.” Dr. Nunez and the Cuban junta have plans all made for sending 3000 men, armed and equipped, into Eastern Cuba just as soon as they can go openly. That can only be when war between Spain and the United States has been declared, and Dr. Nunez believes such hostilities are imminent. He said in conversation with me: ‘“We know that Havana is in a riot- ‘pecting a demonstration agalnst the Americans in the city. A plot was laid not long ago to assassinate Consul- General Lee. It was intended it should appear to be the work of a crank and blame was to be cast upon the Cubans, Just as the palace is now attempting to cast upon us the blame for the destruc- tion of the Maine. ‘“We learned of the plot through one of our Havana agents and promptly in- formed General Lee, who took steps to protect himself. I am told he went to General Blanco and told him that the plot was knowrt to him. I fully believe that General Lee’s life is in danger, as is also that of every other American in Havana.: When the rioting begins, however, the end of Spain in Cuba will have come.” Doubtless Patriotically Mad. MADRID, Feb. 26.—The Nacional, in a paragraph headed, “Madman or Spaniard ?" says: “We are informed that a distinguished officer of the com- missariat recently called at the resi- dence of the representative of a nation which has been greatly prominent since the war in Cuba. The officer’s manner aroused the apprehensions of the diplomat, who refused to see his visitor and informed the authoritles, who intervened and sent the officer to a_military asylum, declaring him ‘Doubtlessly patriotically mad.

He thinks that if war came it would be precipitated by Spain’s attitude and not by that of the United States. That the administration still regards a peaceful settlement of the matter on an indethnity basis, whatever the decision of the Court of Inquiry may be, was further confirmed by Secretary Sher- man in conversation with Senators at the Capitol to-day. , p The venerable Secretary spent some time with his former colleagues and talked freely with them concerning the entire Cuban question, and the Maine disaster in particular. He made it clear to them that an indemnity would be demanded in proportion to the cir- cumstances hereaiter to be developed by the decision of the court of inquiry as to the extent of Spain’s responsibil- ity. In no case did he expect that the disaster would be dealt with as casus belli; but he clearly indicated that Spain would be held liable for indemnity if A Philadelphia special to the Herald says: The monitor Miantonomah and ram Katahdin are to be put in commis- once.

The extent of Spain’s responsibility hinges a great deal upon the question whether there are any mines in Havana harbor. The Spanish Government, through Senor Dubosc of the Spanish legation here, has positively declared that there are no mines in the harbor | The authorities here are not prepared to deny the accuracy of his statement.
