The depart- | ment does not anticipate, of course, | that this flying squadron would be able | to take Cadiz or any other fortified town, but it is appreciated by -naval tacticians that Spain of necessity will hdve to keep a force at home to pro- tect her own ports. She will also be compelled to -enforce her Cuban squadron. The result will be that she will in all probability find it desirable | to divide her forces, which will give | this Government greater advantage | over the Spanish forces than is nowevi- dent. The authorities say that the Colum- bia, Minnesota, Brooklyn and New York will be the ideal ships to form a flying squadron. The Columbia and Minneapolis have a bunker capacity of | 1670 tons of coal each, the Brooklyn 1750 and the New York 1290. Their steaming radius s sufficiently large to enable them to carry out the programme con- templated by the department, and so far as obtaining coal on the other side is concerned the authorities point out that although coal was a contraband of war during the Tebellion a ship of the Union had no-difficulty in getting om English merchants all it wanted. o0 trouble is anticipated In the event of war in the future in case an Amer- icah man-of-war should run out of coal on a European station. The ‘monitor Puritan, which as stated in the Herald this morning, will be re- tained near Hampton Roads to defend Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and Richmond, will have her repairs com- pleted the first of next week. She now | has.a part of her crew, and Lieuten- | ant-Commander J. M. Hawley is pre- paring a detail of men who will be as- signed to fill vacancies now existing on | board ship. As to showing plans of | the department with respect to the pro- tection of the Atlantic coast this ex- tract. taken from the repprt of the| Bunce board which met last fall is of especial Interest at this time: *On_the Atlantic coast the positions most likely to be sought by an enemy | are Massachusetts Bay, Long Island Sound, New York and Chesapeake bays. The positions strategically important for naval defense and which should be strongly lield are the harbors and their approaches, which are at Port- jand, Me., and Provincetown, Mass., the eastern entrance to ' Long Island Sound, and Sandy Hook at the en- trance to New York Bay, and Cape Henry Channel 4t the entrance to ‘Chesapeake Bay. ' The entrance to Delaware Bay and to Port Royal Sound, S. C., should alse be secure from occupancy. On the Gulf coast an attack will be through Florida or Yucatan channels, and the natural de- fen: v_r;inl_l b: ona m(mm Tortugasto A Islands. Key West. On the Pacific Coast the positions of greatest importance are Puget Sound, San Francisco Bay, and contingent on its projected improve- ments, San Pedro Bay. The conditions at the entrance of the Columbia River are similar to those at Delaware Bay as respects its naval importance. Ow- ing to the great distances from this coast to ports of any sea power except those of Great Britain to the north- ward, an attack will be an attempt at sefzure of one of these ports. To meet the enemy in these positions and hold the lines of defense will be a most im-' portant work of the navy.” As the Herald showed this morn- ing, the only harbors for which a naval defense has not.yet been provided are those on the Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut coasts. The Terror will ar- rive at the entrance to New York Bay by Tuesday, and will be held there for of the former glory of those fa- mous Sunday and Thursday even- | ing functions only because they are [so different, Central Park about | Isabella statue was deserted last Thursday night. There were at least a score of seats available for every auditor. Two years ago, even when Gomez was at the very gates of Havana, there were seen | here on these nights eager pleas- ure-seeking throngs almost block- ing traffic half-way across the prado. There were laughter, mer- riment, flirtation and smiles. “Where are all the people gone ?”’ I said to a Spanish officer as | glanced at the long array of empty chairs and noted that the most pop- ular cafes on the. prado were almost equally deserted. My Span- ish acquaintance lighted a cigarette and answered: ‘‘Alas, to theis graves many of them.” SRR AN OUTSIDE EXPLOSION CAUSED THE DISASTER. But Before Forming an Opinion the President Wants to Secure All | the Facts. NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: There will be at least another week of uncertainty of the cause of the Maine disaster. All the information the au- | thorities have concerning the Court of | Inquiry Is that contained in a dispatch from Admiral Sicard received by the Secretary of the Navy this morning, announcing the arrival of the Man- grove, with the Court of Inquiry on board, at Key West. I was told by one | of the officials who saw the dispatch that it contained no reference as to the | progress of the work yesterday, or any | intimation as to when the court would | Ebe likely to conclude its labors, I was | could not be expected to have foreseen MADRID MUST MAKE AMENDS Ex-Senator Edmunds on the Position of Spain.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—A Philadel- phia special to the Herald says: The status of the Maine disaster as effected by international law was interestingly | discussed by United States Senator | George F. Edmunds at his home this afternoon with a Herald man. “While I have not been called upon | to study this instance with minute | care,” Mr. Edmunds said, “there have! been cases which were similar, in their t effects at least. and to which my legis- lative duties required me to give care- ful attention. Above all, it seems to | me that American chivalry demands that we exercise our finest and nicest | sense of honor and dignity, and impute | nothing evil to the Government of Spain unless most incontrovertible facts demonstrate such a necessity. “Our own Government is now with- out precedent of her own making in the matter. At the time of the Mafia riots in the State of Loulsiana some years ago, you will remember, the then Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, contended, and I think rightly, that the death of a number of Italian subjects was brought about by circumstances so extraordinary that the Government CARIBBEAN SEA BADLY NEEDED Required by the United States to Protect Her * Interests.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: The| United States looks upon the Caribbean | Sea the same as England looks upon | the Mediterranean, and they go so far | as to state these two seas are similar | in their history and their future. EI| Tiempo, a Spanish organ published in Madrid, credits these words to Lieu- tenant-Commander Jose G. Sobral, the TO CA Statement to Soon by In the Disaster Spanish officer who the Spanish lega- | tion here declared has been relieved from duty as its naval attache. EI Tiempo has published an article from the pen of Sobral, which shows what he has observed of American affairs. It is also evident, according to. officials of | the Navy Department, that he has colored what he has learned. EI Tiempo says: | “That the Caribbean Sea is from a; strategical point of view of as much importance to the United States and | other nations of the American conti- nent and even some of the European nations as the Mediterranean is to England is a fact so well known that it is not necessary to dwell upon it.

The first group will be accepted or refected on the showing to be made by a plate taper- ing from seventeen to fifteen inehes in thickness, which will be shipped in a few days to the Indian Head proving grounds for a test. The plate will be fired at with twelve-inch guns. Imme- diately after the launching of the two battle-ships next month the work of putting on their armor will com- mence. It is expected that they will be completed and in commission in about A year. PROOF OF TREACHERY Continued from First Page. war and ' if we have to fight this matter out I wish it might begin soon. This protracted uncertainty and suspense is unhealthy alike to soldiers and* civilians. We are growing tired of it. Do I think we could whip you? Well, like the naval court gentlemen, I pre- fer not to discuss that question, but in any case there would be some good blood shed on both sides, but then this eternal con- troversy would at Jast be ended.”’ The city of Havana remains quiet—quieter than usual—abnor- mally quiet for carnival time. | have been offered no affront and have heard no harsh words spoken to the many Americans who now throng the Hotel Inglaterra, nor have | been reliably informed of any such incident. That thete is a disposition in the very lowest quarters to sneer at the fate of our lost ship'is undeniably true. One of tte small’ catch-penny attrac- tions of continuous performance has put forward a cheap so-called dramatization of the Maine disas- ter, but itis rather silly than offen- sive. Havana people, especiall'y their women, remain home nights more than they used to. Band nights on the prado are now suggestive | quested by the department to come | back to Key West at this time in order | that the survivors at that place might | | at once be examined, so that they could | be assigned to other vessels, where they | | are needed. | It is declared by the department offi- ‘ | cials that it is not known whether it | | will be necessary for the court to re- | | turn to Havana. In any event its re- | port is not expected in Washington be- fore the latter part of the week and it | | may be delayed still longer. If the court | does not return to Havana it may be accepted as a foregone conclusion that the members of the court are already | convinced that the Maine was blown up | | by an explosion from the outside. Their | return on the other hand would indi- | | cate they have not yet reached a final | | eonclusion and wish to avail thmeselves of further evidence from divers and | wreckers. The impression among naval | authorities with whom I talked is that | | the (‘nur(..lll return to Havana in | order that""lery scrap of evidence may | further informed that the court was re- ’ | | | | be obtained before they finally put their | tion, and conclusions to the Navy Department. | While as anxious as anybody to have | the facts at hand at the earliest pos- | sible moment, the President on account | of the gravity of the question wants the Investigation made just as thor- ough as the circumstances will allow. All of the officials insist that up to this time they do not know what the final conclusion of the board will be. It is true that they have had the opinion officially expressed by Consul-General Lee that everything pointed to an out- | side explosion. The Herald's dispatches and private letters from officers who were on board the vessel at the time of the disaster all indicate that the vessel was blown up by some exterior agency. The Presi- dent has declared, however, to even his most Intimate friends that he would re- serve his judgment as to what actually caused the disaster until he had the official facts to go upon. Secretary Long Insists that no dispatches from either Captain Sigsbee or the Court of | Inquiry, which have related in any way | to the cause of the disaster, have been | concealed from the public. = But not- | withstanding the absence of official in- | formation on the subject it may be stated that none of the authorities an- ticipate the report showing that the fundamental cause of the catastrophe was accidental. The Herald’s Key West dispatch pub- lished this morning showing that the armor belt was blown inward; that slx- inch powder cases were ¢rushed longi- tudinally, and adducing the additional | evidences that the keel was forced in- ward, hgs tended to greatly strengthen the conviction in official circles that the explosion came from outside of the ves- sel. Every step taken in the direction | of emergency preparations and in con- sideration of precedents fotr formulat- ing a demand upon Spain Indicates that Spain is to be held responsible for the blowing up of the vessel. St e Monitor Terror at New York. NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—The monitor Terror passed in at quarantine at 12:50 this morning and anchored off Tomp- kinsville at 1:05 | all propriety demands that the fullest their danger, and, therefore, could not‘ have prevented it. | “If, in view of these facts, the United | States sought out the real offendersand | brought them to the fullest justice, he | further insisted that all had been done | that the Italian Government could properly demand. The offenders were | found, and an attempt was made to | bring them to justice, but the condi- tions were such and public opinion was 8o prejudiced that it even affected the State’s courts of Louisiana, and made it impossible to bring them to jus- tice. Then the President was author- ized by Congress to indemnify the wid- ows and children of the Italians who were killed. “This case and that of the Maine disaster are analogous in their effect. A great wrong has been done this na- many families have been sadly broken. The battle-ship was on a friendly visit to a friendly port, and restitution shall be made. If some wicked person or persons were instru- mental in bringing about an explosion which cost so many lives, then the Government of Spain must find them and mete out to them the most severe punishment which so cowardly a crime demands. If she does this, she has done her duty, in my opinion. If she fails to do so, then our national dignity will force us to compel something else. ““This, of course, is upon the assump- tion that Spain as a Government was neither instrumental nor had any knowledge of the impending catas- trophe. Anything else is too horrible to contemplate. The dignity and chivalry of United States forbid deal- ing in suspicions. An efficient board of inquiry is investigating the matter in an orderly and commendable man- ner, and when it has announced its findings we must accept it as truth.” Asked as to what would be the prob- able result if the report of the board of inquiry should show that Spanish Government officlals were implicated in a plot to destroy the Maine, Senator Edmunds repeated that such an as- sumption was too horrible to think about, unless it was finally shown to be necessary. “Spain could not afford to do any such thing,” he said. “She would for- ever lose all honor among the nations of the earth. The strained relations Which have existed between the United States'and Spain made it incumbent upon Spain to, take the greatest pre- cautions against accident to our ships when they visited the port of Havana, and it is only fair to assume that Spain did her duty. Until more facts are obtainable from an unquestionable source we must be content to hope for. the best.” A PRITISH STEAMER ASHORE NEAR FLIMBY The Bramble’s Rudder and Propeller Gone and She Is Apparently Abandoned.

Mahan, a ceptain in the Ameri- can navy. On the same subject Jose G. Sobral, naval lieutenant of the first class and attache of the Spanish lega- tion at Washington, has published a well-written article in Revista General de Marina. “In another article published by said Sobral some time ago under the title of ‘The Nicaragua Canal’ he called at- tention to the aspirdtions of the North American Republic in regard to the| Caribbean Sea, not for strategical rea- sons only, but for its commercial ad- vantage and for her own safety and defense, hence we have to add that Lieutenant Commander Sobral's words are worth being taken into considera- tion, especially under the present cir- cumstances. He says: ‘The United States covet naval supremacy in the Caribbean Sea and Guif of Mexico; in the former to obtain absolute control of the future of the Nicaraguan canal; in the latter in order to have a free road from the mouth of the Mississippi to the Atlantic.’ “It is difficult to close in a fleet in the Caribbean Sea on account of its many outlets; and it is this same diffi- culty which makes it easy of access. Fortification on different islands bound- ing the Sea of the Antilles to the west would protect the ports were they to be erected, but not the channels sep- arating them. For their protection a large number of cruisers and ships would be required. “The interests of England beyond the Red fea have caused her to fortify the whole road that takes her ships to Bombay and Singapore and Hong- kong, with naval stations at. Gibraltar, Malta, Cypress, Aden and Penang. These same interests the American people see for the future not only in the Caribbean Sea, but in the Gulf of Mex- ico, and this leads them on the same lines as their brethren in Europe. “The chain of Antilles hampers them because it is in the way of the course of their ships to Central and South America. Key West is not sufficient even in connection with the Dry Tor- tugas to insure the safety of the Flor- 'ida channel as long as Havana belongs to Spain. “The Yucatan channels belong to Spain and Mexico, so that American merchant ships with their cargoes from Galveston, New Orleans, Pensa- cola and Mobile would be endangered in time of war while passing through these two channels, and her fleat would be very apt not to be able to go to the assistance of the cities named in case they were threatened by foreign ships. “In order to go to the Caribbean Sea, they have to pass between Cuba and Hayti or between the latter and Porto Rico and by St. Thomas, Martinique and St. Lucia, all of which islands are under European flags. With what safety could their ships pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the event of the openiing of the.Nicaragua canal? How 1d they maintain a fleet in the waters ‘of the Caribbean Sea without owning an island which would serve them as a base of operations?” ¥ To Cure a Cold in One Day Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, Feb. 27. It is pretty generally believe in ‘Washington to-night that the admin- | istration is now firmly convinced that the Maine's explosion was accidental, and these are the reasons for this pre- sumption: First—The assurance of the Spanish Government that there were no torpe- | does or mines in that part of the har- bor, known as “Man-of-War anchor- age.” Second—The ordnance experts have given their opinion that while a mine or | | torpedo might tear holes in the vessel's hull and sink her it could not have | wrought such fearful havoe in the up- | per structure of the vessel. A member of Congress said to The | Call correspondent to-night: “If you | | want a scoop just say that a statement | will be given out by the Navy Depart- ment to-morrow or next day which will assume that the explosion of the Maine was accldental.” | “But such a statement would hardly | be given out in adVvancg of the report | of the naval court,” suggested the cor- | respondent. “Yes, it will be put out as a ‘feeler’ ™ said the Congressman, who assumed to know what he was talking about. “Whether the President and his ad- visers have received any further ‘tips’ from Consul-General Lee, Senator Proctor or members of the naval court | I don’t know, but it is certain that they are now convinced that there were no torpedoes or mines where the Maine was anchored. And that the character | of the wreck pointed to an internal ex- plosion.” “But why should ‘the administration want to make any statement in ad- vance of the report of the naval court?” asked the correspondent. ““Merely to head off the jingoes in Congress,” said he. “The President and his Cabinet have been anxious and ap- | prehensive every day since the disas- ter for fear that the jingoes in Con- gress would break loose and pass a res- olution recognizing the belligerent rights of the Cubans. Of course, as everybody knows, the passage of such resolution would precipitate a crisis.” The Washington Post, which is gen- erally regarded as the mouthpiece of the administration, as far as the Maine affair is concerned, says: ‘The Presi- dent, it can be again stated, does not expect war with Spain. He is of the opinion that the present trouble can be settled on a basis of diplomatic ne- gotiations if it should be decided that the disdster to the Maine was not ac- cidental, a contingency which has not yet arisen and may not arise. The President expressed himself along these lines to more than one of his callers to-day. The belief in the existence of | sub-marine mines in Havana harbor | was unsettled by the positive statement | of Senor Dubosc, the Charge d‘Affaires of the Spanish legation, as well as by the positive assertion of several naval officers, who claim to have positive knowledge. It is said as proving the truth of Senor Dubosc’s statement, that submarine mines are never placed in anchorage grounds because the con- | necting cables would always be in dan- | ger from dragging anchors. They are | submerged in channels whenever they | are considered necessary."” | The Post also publishes the follow- ing to show that the explosion may have been, and probably was, acci- dental: “In volume X, Chambers Cyclopedia, page 668, is an account of the terrific explosion that took place on board the ship "European when lying in harbor at Colon, Panama, on April 3, 1866. It says: ‘At 7 a. m., on the 3d a most ' the Face of Treachery Officials Will Say | and I. J. Oviatt, veterans | that they offer to en tremendous explosion occurred in the | afterpart of the ship. It was described | as most rapid, without smoke, but with | a great flame, and the ship was im- | mediately after seen to be on fire. The | whole of the deck and cabin aft were | carried away, and the side of the ship | was also much damaged, the plates | above the water-line being blown | away, and the parts below it being | much injured. For fear of further ex- plosions the ship was towed .into the bay, where she shortly sunk." The conclusion was irresistible that the ex- plosion was due to the nitro-glycerine. Gun cotton has large explosive power also. It has been known to explode without apparent cause. Pending the result of the official inquiry.into the Maine explosion, it is worth while to remember that similar explosions have occurred as the result of accident.” i NEBRASKA OFFERS AN | AR'1Y OF VOLUNTEERS.

Suspension of work on the Maine, a bull fight and the fag end of a carnival combined to give Havana a somewhat gay Sunday. Senator Proctor was among the Ameri- cans at the bull fight, the star matador of which was Mazzantini. In a speech addressed to Acting Chief ‘of Staff General Solano, the Senator said he Hoped for peace through means of the army. A tremendous outburst of cheering greeted the mention of the army. The audience was one-half offi- cers and soldiers. Divers will resume the work of re- covering the Maine’s dead to- and the big wrecking tug Jon pected then also.
