This was also done. There is testimony, for instance, that the mooring of the Maine was changed not long before the explo- sion. The reading of this testimony in Congress would, it is feared, leave Congress to infer that the Harbor Master, under instructions, anchored | the Maine directly over a floating mine which blew up as soon as she drifted” with the tide and struck it. Yet there is no direct testimony im- plicating the Harbor Master, nor anybody else. . here is much other testimony of the same character from which infer- ences might be drawn in fime of great excitement which would seem untenable at the time it was given to the court. Yet all this was included in the report and goes with the find- ings. It is just possible that this tem- porary withholding of testimony may have a bad effect on Con- gress, and cause even more restive- ness than is now shown in the two houses. The latest reports from the White House to-night are that the Presi- dent is more active than ever in . searching for some means of avert- ing war and pacifying Cuba without intervention. There is a slight note of criticism of the President’s policy. It is said that he has no policy ex- cept to relieve the reconcentrados. He is now looking for some means of getting Spain to withdraw her troops from Cuba and relinquish all but nominal control over the island, and is also taking steps to get the insur- gents to accept such an arrangement. This brings the whole situation re- garding peaceful intervention back to where it was a week ago. agreed that thére could be no such thing as peaceful intervention. From an army and navy stand- point we are rushing ahead our preparations for war. So is Spain. The coming of her torpedo ‘flotilla continues to excite the navy. It has made a tremendous impression on everybody. The advice of naval offi- cers continues to be the interception of the fleet at sea, and its destruction if it cannot be induced to go back to Spain. A note of alarm was sounded when it was learned that one of Spain’s torpedo boats stationed at Monte- video had sailed, her destination be- ing unknown. The question was asked: ‘Has she gone to intercept the battleship Oregon and the gun- boat Marietta, now on their way frem the Pacific around Cape Hornf? NOT SENT TO BRING BACK GENERAL LEE. NEW YORK, March 26.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: The Bache did not go to Havana to bring back Consul-General Lee. She was or- dered to go to that port at the request of Captain Sampson, and the probabil- jties are that he forwarded dispatches by her. Had General Lee desired to re- turn he could have sailed on the Man- grove, which is at Havana.

This cablegram, it can now be stated, was sent from ‘Washington on Thursday night. The fact that it was dispatched before the arrival of Com- mander Marix bearing the’ full text of the report and the evidenc: appears on its face to involve contradiction. It can be stated only that the cablegram was sent to Minister Woodford - directing him to give this notification to the Spanish Government on Thursday night. It is believed that the dispatch went no further than to direct that the results be made known fo the Spanish Government, with a view of leaving the responsibility with Spain of 'making such response as seems appropriate.

BERLIN, March 26.—The Government will not admit American fruit waste into the Rhine district, as it is saild to be E‘ra\'@ly injuring the jelly industry. The ‘ologne Gazette and other newspapers severely blame the Government for ex- ceeding the authority given it by the Bundesrath in the " fruit decree.

WASHINGTON, March 26.—At pres- ent it is not regarded by the navy offi- cials as probable that the naval mili- tia of any of the middle Western States will soon be called into service. The indications now are that a suffi- cient number of men can be secured from the militia of Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey to meet all re- quirements. Should hostilities break out, however, it is regarded as ex- | tremely likely that the naval militia of both the middle Western and Southern States would be called upon to assist in manning auxiliary cruisers and coast defense vessels. Naval officials regard the naval mili- tia as a most valuable adjunct to the navy proper, as it could be utilized not only to man the smaller vessels, but could be depended upon as a second line of defense. As Assistant Secretary Roosevelt points out, there are two very important features which could be attended to by this second line. One is the placing of mines, and the other the establishment of signal stations for coast defense. - Thé militia of Massachusetts and New York has been given special in- struction in torpedo practice and coast signaling and the service of such men will prove of great value. It has been suggested that the life-saving stations, being under Government con- trol, should be fully equipped with ap- paratus for signaling. to be authorized to | | utilized. removed and many preparations have | been made for the reoccupancy of the | It is probable that two batteries of the Third Artillery will soon be ordered from Angel Island to take station in| the fort. Batteries A and H of the| Third, now stationed at the Presidio | and on duty at the works overlooking | the ocean at Fort Point, are not ade- quate for the duties devolving upon this branch of the service. The guard duty, the care of the high power guns, the mounting of new ordnance, the handling of ammunition and the multi- tude of smaller detail duties, require a force larger than the present garrison. The double brick barracks at the Pre—| sidio contain accommodations only ade- | quate for the infantry and artillery | there stationed, hence in order to shel- ter new batteries the oid fort is to be It is held to be also desirable that there should be -onstantly in the immediate vicinity of the high power | guns at least two batteries of trained artillerymen. Inspection of the old premises shows that the interior is dry and comfortable. The granite foundations and the brick walls are in condition to stand for centuries. The fact is recalled that the Government in the old days erected | buildings of a durable character. Unless demolished to make room for more modern fortificztions the walls of the old fort will stand long after the or- dinary barracks of the present epoch have crumbled awa Ozcupandy. of the quarters will not impose hardship on the troops. The ocean outlook is in- spiring and the sea breezes ought to invigorate the garrison. It is just possible that General Shaf- ter may decide to transfer the head- quarters of the Third Artillery from Angel Island to Fort Point and estab- lish two posts on the Presidio reserva- tion—one for infantry and cavalry at the present station, and the other for| artillery at.a point near the hieh power guns. | The quartermaster’s department arranged yeste for the transfer of | the new twelve-inch breech-loading rifle from the Southern Pacific freight | yards to a point on the bay near the| fortidcations, where the gun is to be| mounteds | Orgersl were received at the l’refidin- by wire from Washington yesterdal di recting First Lieutenant John D.

Determined to Protect the Consulate and All Americans and Their Interests in Cuba. HAVANA, March 26.—In addition to the regular guards, which for months | have been on duty around the Ameri- can Consulate, the Spanish authorities have recently posted a force of six ex- tra men for service there. This precau- | tion, T am assured, does not indicate a fear that the consulate or person of Consul-General Lee is in any spe danger at the present time. It evidence rather of Captain-Gener Blanco's. purpose to prevent any vos- ible unpleasant incident which might serve to aggravate the situation. General Blanco, I am informed, has recently reiterated his previously de- clared purpose to protect the consulate and any and all American interests to the full limit of his authority, and is prepared to furnish any number of men required to that end. |is T fact: | he had_known th DULL LEAD, NOT BLACK Latest « Fightiné Color ” Selected for Ships of the Navy. Preparations for the Placing of New Mounts on Revenue Cutters for Torpedoes. . Contrakts Also Made for Appliances for Loading Vessels at Tortugas and Key West. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, March 26. Another shift was made to-day in the plans for painting the warships, and Captain Crowninshield formally deter- mined that all the ships of the navy should be painted a dqull lead color. This was the color of all Federal ships during the Civil War, and is said to be the best “fighting color.” The Naval Bureau of Ordnance is preparing new mounts for a number of Whitehead torpedoes, in crder to place them on the revenue cutters, the newly acquired yachts and tugs. The tor- | pedo tubes were originally intended to go below deck, but with the new craft tubes and mounts must be changed for service on the upper decks. When this work is done, Captain O'Neil, head of the bureau, expects-to be able to equip sixty craft, if occasion demands, with torpedo tubes. The contracts for the big steel piers, coalsheds and extensive coal appliances for loading war vessels at Dry Tortugas and Key West were let to-day. The Union Bridge Company of New York will build the steel piers, etc., both at Tortugas and Key West, the contract price being $590,000. The tracks, cars, machinery, et wiil be furnished by the Brown Hoisting Company of Cleve- land, O., for $151,000. The contract calls for completing the extensive work at Tortugas in 180 days, and at Key West in 190 days. Formal orders were issued to-day by Captain Shoemaker, chief of the reve- nue cutter service, for the eight reve- nue cutters called into the service at the navy rendezvous at the Norfolk navy yard. The instructions given to commanders of the ships were to report at Norfolk between the 20th ¢f March and 5th of April. Some difficulty is an- ticipated in getting the cutter Gresham out of the great lakes. She is too long to pass through the docks of the canals and it may be necessary for the depart- ment to cut off the stern of the vessel in order to permit the passage of the locks. Preparations are making fox the lighthouse board to turn over to the Navy Department five lighthouse tend- ars, now in service on the Atlantic. In- structions were issued to-day by the board of the commanders of the tend- ers to make a complete inventory of the present furnishings and equip- ment of the vessels. It will be neces- sary, of course, that these vessels be re- fitted to some extent and equipped with such light-caliber guns as they are able to carry. The equipment of the vessels and other necessary work upon them will be done at the Norfclk yards. It is regarded as not unlikely that Commander W. M. Folger, now in harge of the New York lighthouse dis- trict, may be placed in command of the newly acquired Brazilian cruiser Amazonas, Lodge of Elks Installed.

SHIPS IN THE TW0 SOQUADRONS Vessels Named for Sta- tion at Key West and Hampton Roads. Captain Sampson to Have Twenty-Three and Commo- dore Schley Five. But These Fleeis Will Both Be Rapidly Augmented by Impro- vised Torpedo Craft. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 26.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: For- mal designation was made to-day by Captain A. S. Crowinshield, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, acting upon | the instructions of Secretary Long, of ships which will comprise the squad-‘, rons at Key West and Hampton Road: Captain W. T. Sampson, who ha been appointed Rear-Admiral Sicard's | successor as commander-in-chief of the | North Atlantic squadron, will have a fleet at Key West composed of twenty- three naval vessels, and Commodore W. | 8. Schley, who will command the fly- ing squadron, will have five vessels un- der his control. This is the text of Captain Crowinshield’s official order: The following vessels compose the North Atlantic squadron: New York, flagship; Iowa, Indiana, Miantonomoh, Terror, Puritan, Cincinnati, Marble- head, Montgomery, Castine, Nashville, Helena, Wilmington, Fern, Vesuvius torpedo-boats Foote, Dupont, Ericsson, Cushing, Porter and Winslow, and| tugs Leyden and Samoset. | The following vessels will compose | the flying squadron: Brooklyn, flag- ship; Massachusetts, Texas, Minneapo- lis and Columbia. . From this order it will be seen that Captain Sampson has a fleet intended for blockading purposes. His fleet | consists of one armored cruiser, two | battle-ships of the first class; three monitors, four cruisers, four gunboats and one dynamite cruiser with the ne- cessary accompaniment of torpedo- | boats and tugs. Commodore Schley’s command is, as its name indicates, intended for swift. offensive and defensive operations, and | includes an armored cruiser, one first- | class battleship, one second-class bat- tleship and two protected cruisers. It is proposed to add to_Commodore Schley’s force the cruiser New Orleans, | which will be placed in commission at the Brooklyn navy yard immediately | upon her arrival under command of Commander W. M. Folger. The cruiser San Francisco will be added to Captain Sampson’s force at‘ Key West. Besides these ships, it is proposed, as stated in the Herald this morning, to add an improvised torpedo boat flotilla to both squadrons. Com- | modore Schley expects to secure at| least six of the smalil yachts and tug- boats. It is also proposed to add an | effective force of picket boats to Cap-| tain Sampson’s fleet. As members of his staff Commodore Schley has selected Lieutenant J. H.| Sears to be flag lieutenant and Lieuten- ant B. W. Wells Jr. flag secretary. Commodore Schley will hoist his flag on the Brooklyn on Monday, and will at once put his ships in condition for the hard work they will be called upon to perform’in case of war. ROEBER GIVEN THE DECISION ON A FOUL Thrown From the Stage While Sprinting Away From Yousouff, the Turk. NEW YORK, March 26.—Fifteen thou- sand people crowded into Madison Square Garden to-night to witness the Graeco- Roman wrestling match between You- | souff, the Turk, and Ernest Roeber, the world’s champion. At half-past 9 o'clock Yousouff got on the platform and had a rousing reception. A few minutes later Roeber climbed upon the stage. His welcome was deafening. Yousouft was the favorite in the betting. Hugh Leonard was chosen referee. Bob Fitzsimmons held the watch for Roeber and “Honest John” Kelly for.Yousouff. When the men stepped into the ring, it s scen that the Turk was at least five inches taller than his adversary and | fully fifty pounds heavier. When time | was called, both men stepped to the cen- ter of the mat, and Yousouff was the| first to get his hands on. Roeber kept | sprinting away from the big fellow, and | finally took up a position near the edge of the platform. Yousouff reached and pushed his opponent clear off the stage. Martin_Julian sprang upon the plat- form and claimed the match for Roeber on a foul, which Leonard allowed. Time, one minute and fifteen seconds. One of Yousouff's friends then made the announcement that Yousouff desired to give the fall to Roeber and to go on again in an hour, also taking the loser’s end of the money, whether he won or not. At five minutes after 10, the announcer said that the®referee had gone with two physicians to determine whether Roeber would be able to. continue and another ADVERTISEMENTS.

Dr. Jennison, who has made a nre study of stomach troubles, says: All forms of indigestion really amount to the same thing, that is, failure to com- pletely digest the food eaten; no mat- ter whether the trouble is acid dyspep- sia or sou- stomach, belching of wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and appetite; a person will not have any of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural, harmless way to thor- ov~hly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by a simple remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggra- vated cases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptic pep- sin and golden seal pu’ up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken aftermeals and allowed to dissolve in the mouth and mingling with the food in the stomach, digests it completely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour. On actual experiment one grain of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods. It-is safe to say if this wholesome remedy was better known by . people generally it would be a national bless- ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptic s owe n and and nine-tenths of all disea: their origin to imperfect dig: nutrition. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine, but a fifty cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach than fifty dollars’ worth of patent medicines, and a person has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stomach, which he does not know when widely adver- tised patent medicines are used. All druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspeps Tablets, full size packages, 50 cents. A little book on cause and cure of stomach troubles mailed free by ad- dressing The Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
