BALTIMORE, Feb. requiem mass for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives | through the destruction of the battle- ship Maine in Havana was celebrated | at the cathedral to-day. Cardinal Gib- bons made an address and read the services for the dead. A -number of naval and military officers were pres- ent. The vocal music was furnishe by a quartet from the “Bride Elec Opera Company. The cardinal said: “Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the President and on the members | of his cabinet, and particularly on the | Secretary assistant. as well as on the houses of Congress, for the calmness and tran- quility, the self-control and the self- possession which they have exhibited during the fearful ordeal through which the country has been passing in the last few days.

But suppose some fiendish Cuban had occasioned this fearful loss of life in order to embroil our nation in a war with his mother country. In that case And even had some fanatical Spaniard perpetrated this atrocious crime, there would be no necessity for a recourse to the arbitrament of the sword. “The only circumstance that would warrant active hostilities would be evi- dence that the Spanish Government or explosives in the harbor of Havana to destroy our vessel. But I do not be- lieve, and no sane man can believe, that a chivalric nation would be guilty of such inhumanity. “An able commission has been ap- pointed by the Government to inves- tigate the cause of the disaster. Let us calmly and dispassionately await the result of their verdict and not an- ticipate their judgment. One thing is certain: This country knows how, in any emergency, to defend her honor and protect her interests, on the deck of the ship, with weapons in their hands. regard them as heroes or martyrs to this country, who died at the post to which the call to duty assigned them. I earnestly hope that the day is not far off when a grateful nation will show her appreciation of the services of suitable monument — a monument which will not only commemorate the dead, but which will be an incentive of patriotism to the living by keeping be- fore them the sentiment so well ex- pressed by the Roman poet: ‘Dulce et decorum est pro patria morl’ (It is sweet and glorious to dle for one's country’).

I‘ MORE POWERLESS THAN_CONTUMACIOUS. BRev. Dr. Berry Says It Is Time Uncle Sam Relieved Spain From Con- trol of Cuba. 7 ONDON, Feb. 28—Rev. Dr. Charles |4 Berry of the Queen street Church, E ‘olverhampton, who visited the | United States in October last, as chair- man of the Congregational Union of England, in an effort, it is said, to in- | | duce the United States Senate to con- firm the arbitration treaty and also to advocate church union, replying to an influential American, writes: “My view, and I think it is gen- | erally held by rational Englishmen, is | that the trouble in Cuba has gone on | long enough. It is being fomented by men who flout the authority of Spain, | while protesting against American in- terference. This state of things is kept up for the sake of a number of rot- ten interests. Spain is not so much contumacious as powerless, and the United States Government is the only power who can restore order, and with due regard to its own Monroe doctrine and collateral obligations, the Wash- ington executive is justified in insist- ing upon order, even if it becomes ne- cessary to superintend the manage- ment of affairs. —— | Darley’s New Explosive. CHICAGO, Feb. 28.—William S. Dar- ley of Chicago, Inventor of mirex, one of the most powerful explosives known to naval warfare, has been invited to visit Washington and demonstrate the powers of the product toSecretary Long and his assoclates. Fifty pounds of mirex is said to be as effective as five times that amount of guncotton. Mr. Darley first attracted the attention of the naval experts two months ago by of its inventor when it is thrown into the water.

MADRID, Feb. 28.—The Government will invite tenders for the monopoly of the import and export, refining and sale of petroleum and other mineral oils.

Present Crisis Promises to Kill the Pacific Isiand Annex- ation Scheme. | Also a Question as to the Cubans Would Flag. | There ‘W hether Come Under Our 1s Spectal Dispatch to The Call Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Feb. 28. The Cuban problem will kill the Ha- wailan annexation scheme. Hawaiian annexation has been forgotten in the overwhelming interest attaching to the Cuban crisis. But while Cuba has thus for the time being displaced Hawaii in popular thought and in Congressional discussion, the two subjects are very closely related and to an extent inter- dependent. 1f Hawali is to be annexed | 1ong be denied admittance to the Union. | Cuba seems lost to Spain, in fact, and as soon as the actual severance, how- ever brought about, becomes recognized in treaty and in law, the question of | American annexation is bound to come to the front. Some element in Cuba, it | may be counted on, will desire attach- ment with this country, and if such an | element can once get into control its status would be similar to that of the | Hawaiian Government under President | Dole, now seeking annexation. This close resemblance between the Hawaiian situation to-day and what | seems destined to be the Cuban situa- | tion at no very distant day is having | an obvious effect upon the pending an- | nexation controversy. When a Con- | gressman is now asked if he believes in annexation he will be dull, indeed, if | both annexations are not suggested to his mind. The prospect of Cuban an- nexation raises the interesting question of what might happen in case the in- surgent forces on the island, after com- ing under the authority of the United States Government, should decide that they did not like it and rise in rebel- lion. | There is no evidence that the fight- ing bands in the interior of Cuba love | the Government at Washington for its | own sake, but rather as a weapon against their present foes. It might | happen that they would object to be- | coming a part of the United States, and | still if a minority who chanced to be in | power wanted annexation agreeable to | the Hawalian precedent, we should | have to annex the island. It would be | possible that a clique of cigar-makers | and sugar-planters in Havana and the | other sea ports might bring about an- | nexation against the wishes of the very | forces that are now fighting the Span- | ish. | This is one of the possibilities of the | troubles that might afflict us in event | of annexation. It is not out of the | question that the native races of Ha- | waili may at some time rise in rebel- | lion, and nothing but the strongest mil- itary authority of the TUnited States | Government would be sufficient to keep them in subjection. It cannot be said | that none of the peoples we have an- nexed in the past have not desired to | get away from us -again—the Texans, | for instance. In the present compli- cated situation it is impossible to tell | how the House would now vote on the | question of Hawaiian annexation. As- | suming that the Speaker allowed the issue to come before the House, many conservative Representatives are very uncertain, and there is no telling what influence may become operative when | the subject actually reaches the front. | It would not be a difficult task to de- feat it, and many Congressmen seem | greatly influenced against any kind of annexation because of the Cuban diffi- culties. LODGE OF SORROW FOR MASONIC VICTIMS. CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 28.—The Mexican, German and Spanish lodges | of this city have spontaneously invited | their American brethren to a special lodge of sorrow to be held on the 3d of March in memory of the Masons who perished in the Maine disaster, and as a mark of sympathy of the losses sustained by the order and the United States. It is a noteworthy fact that the initiative was taken in this matter by Grand Orator Carlos Roumagnie, a native born Spaniard, of Madrid, who supplemented the movement in a speech full of feeling. There ig no ill- feeling between Amercans and the bet- 1 ter class of Spaniards here. | it is hard to see how Cuba likewise can | NEW YORK, Feb. 28 —The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: President McKinley and his advisers are still taking steps to put the coun- try in as thorough a condition of de- fense as the resources put at their command by Congress will admit; but they are talking more hopefully of a diplomatic settlement of the Maine af- fair than at any time since the Her- ald’s dispatches convinced them that the vessel had been destroyed by some outside agency. disposition on the part of the admin- istration to lessen in any way its de- mands upon Spain if the report of the court of inquiry should fix any re- sponsibility upon that Government. It is rather due to the growing belief that Spain will comply with such demands rather than resist them to the point of forcing the two nations into war. In- timations have been received here that | the Sagasta Ministry 1s willing to go further in the direction of preserving peace than had been generally ex- pected, and should the report of the court of inquiry justify the conclusion that the ship was destroved by any- thing short of military appliance in the control of the Spanish Government there is reason to believe that there will be little difficulty | a diplomatic settlement.. Should the report, on the other hand, show beyond a reasonable doubt that the vessel was destroyed by such an appliance a set- tlement will be more difficult. In the } latter case the administration would demand a larger indemnity, a disa- | person or persons. | Spain would be sure to resist such a the court. With such a question pend- ing and the people of both countries in- flamed against each other, a diplomatic settlement might be very difficult. Both the President and Secretary Long in conversation with Senators and Repre- sentatives to-day assured them that they were more hopeful of a peaceful solution. Secretary Long told me to- day that the situation appeared to be more favorable. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt also declared that the de- partment had no reason to anticipate trouble, but it had no intention to be unprepared in the event it should come. I understand the President and Secre. tary Long have received a letter writ- | ten to an officer on duty in the Navy Department by a naval officer in Ha- ! vana in which the writer speaks of the difficulty of definitely determining the cause of the catastrophe,and statesthat on account of the muddy condition of the water divers have to depend for the information they get about the condi- tion of the hulk not on their sense of sight but on their sense of touch. This officer is most anxious that the Maine should be raised as soon as possible. He says she is sinking deeper in the mud and the longer she remains the more difficult it will be to save her. The court of inquiry is evidently anx- ious to learn about the appearance of the wreck. The department was in- formed by telegraph that the court of inquiry would commence a session at Key West to-day. They must resume at Havana to obtain evidence of divers after further work upon the wreck. It is expected by the department that the court will have to remain at Key ‘West until the latter part of the week and will then return to Havana to hear testimony to be given by divers. The divers of the Right Arm, the wrecking vessel, are at work and they will be joined by a force which has just left New York on board the Under- writer. The progress made by the court up to February 25 is told in this letter from Capiain W. T. Sampson, president of the court, dated Havana, which was glven out for publication by Secretary Long to-da: February 23, 1898. Sir: The court has taken the testimony of all the officers of the Maine still here. To-morrow we Wwill take such testimony as the divers have accumulated. The Right Arm arrived here this morning and reported to Captain Sigsbee, accord. Ing to orders. I trust some wrecking com- pany will be given the entire job, as no other plan will be feasible. There are two citizens in the harbor who have sig- nified_their willingness to testify, al- though they have nothing important. After taking this evidence and that of the divers I propose to return to Key West and take the evidence of the officers and men there. It may be necessary to return here after further progress has been made by the divers. Very respect- fully, W. T. SAMPSON, Captain United Seates Navy. Evidence of much importance in en- abling the court in understanding the details of the structure of the Maine will be obtained from Naval Construc- tor Hoover and Carpenter Helm, who were associates of Naval Constructor Fernal in building the late battle- ship. = The court telegraphed to Secretary Long, asking that the officers who su- perintended the construction of the ship be directed to appear before it. The orders were at once sent to Hoover and Helm in accordance with the court’s re- quest, directing them to vroceed ta { in arriving at | vowal and the punishment of the guilty | demand and dispute the conclusions of | TALK OF PEACE BUT CONTINUE TO PREPARE FOR WAR That Is the Present Stand of the President and His Advisers.

It is pre- sumed at the department that the court desires to ascertain the structural ar- rangement of the interior of the ship and the bearing it has on the cause of the explosion. LIKE THE DAYS OF FIRING ON SUMTER. Renewed Activity at the Arsenal and Gun Factory at Watervliet. ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 28.—The activ- ity at the Watervliet arsenal and gun foundry continued to-day. Since the Maine disaster there has been a hush of anxious suspense about the place. This does not imply that there is any | Old residents in that vicinity, who re- member the rush orders were given when Fort Sumter fired upon, state that the conditions there are now the same as at that time. Officers will not say anything. It was learned at the gun factory to-day that twelve mortars have been boxed and are ready for shipment as soon as cars arrive to convey them to their destination, Sandy Hook. It is under- stood that part of the shipment will be made to-morrow morning. Twenty machinists, whose names ap- pear on the eligible civil service list, were notified Saturday by the secre- tary of the local civil service board to report at the gunshop to-morrow ready to go to work. It is the inten- tion of the authorities to put the men | at work on parts of rifles which are in _a fair way of completion. | The master mechanic, Alfred Chris- | tiansen, an expert on the building of | rifles of large caliber, and who has {*superintended the manufacture of rifles | at the arsenal for the past eight years, will leave to-morrow, ostensibly for Washington, at the orders of the War | Department, but in reality for the forts | and coast defenses where the guns which have been sent from Watervliet are located. He will make a thorough | examination of the condition of the | huge pieces of ordnance. o EX-CONFEDERATES AND THEIR LOYAL SONS. the Stand Ready to Fight for Union in the Event of War With Spain. NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—A Raleigh | (N. C.) special to the Herald says: | Governor Russell to-day received the following letter from Colonel William H. S. Burgwyn, a Confederate veteran, and who once commanded the Fifth Maryland Regiment: “In view of a possible declaration of war between this country and Spain and a call upon you to furnish North Carolina’s quota of troops for that pur- pose, I have the honor to tender you my services to raise a regiment of in- fantry composed of sons of ex-Confed- erate soldiers to serve in that war.” Colonel J. M. Ray of Buncombe of- fers to raise a regiment cf able-bodied ex-Confederates west of the Blue Ridge for service during the war. i mi i Cadet Cruise Postponed. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—The au- thorities at the United States Naval Academy have informed the cadets that the annual practice cruise to Fun- chal, Madeira, in June, will be aban- doned this year on account of the Span- ish complications, unless the situation clears up sufficiently to leave no ground for apprehension of trouble. s Adams Retains His Position.
