This will explain thé remarkable de- struction wrought, the explosion thus being shown to have combined the force of a mine without and the two magazines within. The two explosions which the Court finds to have occurred | with a y short interval between them, is an additional detail showing that two forces operated in causing | the destruction. The finding that the ship lifted on the first explosion indi- cates an external source, and one of tremendous power to be able to lift a battleship of thousands of tons. The | character of the wreckage, technically | decribed in the fifth part of the report, | from which the Court deduces that a | mine was exploded under the ship on the port side, sustains the view taken by some experts shortly after the dis- aster, that the force of the explosion was exerted from port to starboard. The feature of the report of deepest interest to the navy is the complete exoneration of Captain Sigsbee and all | on board, contained in the second find- ing, setting forth the perfect order and discipline prevailing on the ship, and more directly stated in-the sixth find- | ing, which declares the disaster to be | due to no fault of those on board. | The inability of the Court to find evi- | dence to fix the responsibility, as stated | in the eighth part, makes the report so | guarded in expression of blame that | neither Spain nor the Spanish are men- tioned throughout. GROSS INSU Duke of Veragua Calls Him “an Ignorant Sutler.” Says Vanity Makes the Execu- tive Believe Himself a Napoleon. Special Dispatch to The Call. MADRID, March 27.—The latest in- telligence from the United States has occasioned a great patriotic movement throughout Spain. A large number of persons have announced their inten- tion tb give up a day’s pay for services to raise a fund to purchase a war ship.. A committee, over which the Bishop of Madrid will preside, has been organized to receive subscriptions. Spe- | cial theatrical performances are an- nounced, the receipts of which are to be devoted to this purpose. The Duke of Veragua, who knows President Mc- Kinley personally, is reported as hav- ing said: | “President McKinley does not inspire | me with confidence. He thinks himself | the first statesman in the world. He | is proud and vain, and his great vanity | makes him belleve himself a Napoleon, | when in reality he is an ignorant sut- ler.” It is reported that the Conservatives E intend to propose that the troops in | the interior of Cuba should withdraw | to the coast until the autonomists and | Separatists arrive at an agreement, but it is not expected that the Cortes will entertain such a proposal. The situa- tion in Cuba is declared to-day to be “much improved. ARE SPANIARDS BUYING SUPPLIES IN AMERICA?

It is described as something half way between au- tonomy and suzerainty. It was also definftely stated at this interview that the purchase by Cuban out of the question. Spain would never consider the hauling down of her flag by peaceful means. Spanish honor could not entertain for a moment the payment of money for Cuba. This subject was fully gone into, because the plan of eminent financiers to lend Cuban insurgents $200,000,000 to buy their independence and to guarantee the Spanish-Cuban war debt has been completed. It is stated on good author- ity that Henry W. Cannon and Colonel Paine of New York came here yester- day with this information. The Span- ish Minister said no proposition of the kind could ever be entertained by Spain. That ended the plan of the financiers and Mr. Cannon and Colonel Paine have gone home. Minister Barnabe could hold out no promise ‘as to how soon the new plan could be expected to end the trouble in Cuba, nor have any satisfactory as- surances that the insurgents would be pleased with this any more than with autonomy. It was all rainbow prom- ises. ‘When the representations of the Spanish Minister were conveyed to the President they seemed to impress him.

Information that the President is dis- | posed to acquiesce in the Spanish prop- osition comes from an official in a po- sition to speak. He has been dis- couraged from many quarters to-night. In every human probability the Span- ish Minister will to-morrow be told that the United States cannot pledge itself offer short of the granting of inde- | pendence to Cuba. | That will end the will-’o-the-wisp.

Findings Will Be Referred to the Foreign Relations Committee. Administration Still Appealing to Con- gress to Prevent Bellicoss Speechmaking. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. Call _iiice, Riggs House, ‘Washington, March 27. The important event of the week in the Senate will be the receipt of the President’s message transmitting the report of the Maine Court of Inquiry, which is expected early in the day on Monday. The present understanding is that the report will be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and sent to the printer without being re-d. or more than incidentally re- ferred to, and that after this nothing ' more will be said concerning it until the committee shall have had a rea- sonable oppor‘unity to consider it, or until some further communication may be received from the President on the | Cuban question. | There has been a general appeal from the administration to the Senate | to avoid undue agitation on the Cuban subject until the President may have an opportunity to formulate the policy, | and the Senate appears quite disposed to comply with the request. Still there is no doubt that the Senate would grow very restive under delay. Senator Money expects to make a speech to- morrow on the lines of those of Sena- tor Proctor, Gallinger and Thurston, based upon his observations in Cuba. What further discussion there may | be on the Cuban situation will depend | so largely upon future developments that it is useless to discuss the proba- | bilities. If the President should make a recommendation or the Committee on Foreign Relations a report the Senate mated discussion, the result of which would be some radical declaration against Spain. The problem is now to hold the expression of opinion down to the minimum pending the negotiations of the President and the deliberations of the committee. _ REPORT TO BE READ IN THE LOWER HOUSE Will Then Be Referred to the Foreign | Relations Committee Without Debate. | WASHINGTON, March 27.—The larg- est crowd which has attended a ses- sion of Congress in years is expected at the Capitol to-morrow when the official report of the Board of Inquiry on the innocent victims of war in Cuban towns, if Congress will let him go. On that it is believed there will be a clash Spain recedes fyom the position she is reported by the Herald cable frgm Madrid to have taken. There is no change in the plan of the President about sending relief. If Con- BT is quiescent to-morrow over the Maine report he will on Tuesday ask for not less than $500,000 and possibly $1,000,000 for relief purposes. The ‘sug- gestion from the advocates of peace at any price that it might be less “dis- uieting” to ask for $200,000 as a “start- er” has been spurned by the President. If Spain objects to the sending of food and clothing then the United Staes will insist, and Spain can take the respon- sibility for declaring war if that be deemed wise in Madrid. So insistent is| he President on this, so continually do his personal friends bring this up in conversation, that it is clear he desires should war be inevitable that {t shall come over the question of sending re- lief. Should the Spanish Government ob- | ken to overcome this objection forcibly, if necessary. Should the Spanish Gov- ernment hamper the distribution of re- lief, all the power of the United States Government will be exerted to sweep these impediments away. There is noticeable here a change in the sentiment throughout the country on the question of war. Business in- terests have noticeably receded from their stand taken some time ago that Letters members of the Cabinet are re- ceiving all breathe the hope that the Cuban question shall be got out of the way. They are almost unanimous in the opinion that if the question can not be taken away peaceably it must be taken away with war. They are will- ing to follow the President, no matter what the outcome may be, but to have the whole question dragging along for months and months, with the business of the country unsettled, is not to be borne. A deeper shade of concern is also ob- served in the faces of men like Senator Hanna, who have been urging the peace policy. These men are beginning to suspect that the more time we give to Spain the more difficult it will be to dislodge her. They are learning that the Govern- ment at Madrid is rapidly strengthen- ing its sea power. They are getting information that in a short time she expects to be so strong that she can say when we want to back up our re- lief movement with force: “Do so if you dare. We are ready.” Word comes to-night that with her new loan of $40,000,000 she will soon have overcome the advantage we now have over her at sea. This change of sentiment is having some effect on the administra- tion, and some of the members of the Cabinet who have been for peace are shifting and beginning to contemplate the prospect of war as not remote. Sec- retary of the Treasury Gage is not one of these. He is still combating the idea of war with might and main. It has been learned that it was he who brought up again at the last hour the proposition to have financiers settle | the Cuban war with money, which | has been spurned by the Spanish Gov- ernment. STUDENTS BURN AN EFFIGY OF SPAIN. Son of Judge Day Leads a Patriotic Demonstration at Ann Arbor. ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 27.—Two hundred students of the University of Michigan paraded the campus armed with pitchforks, etc.,in a Cuban demon- stration. William Day, & son of Judge Day of the State Department, address- ed the students, and at the close of the meeting telegrams approving the United States’ stand were sent to Sec- retary Day and President McKinley. The boys amid great enthusiasm burn- ed an effigy of Spain. —_— To Cure a Cold in One Day ‘Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All drug- Eglsts refund the money if it fails to cure. 2c.

The scene when the report is read will be intensely dramatic, but those who go to the Cap- itol to-morrow expecting to see its pre- sentation followed by a wild furor of oratory probably will be sorely disap- pointed.

Once in committee the find- ings of the board will remain there until a report is made by the commit- tee, which would certainly not be until Spain’s explanation and position are made known to the administration. Meantime the precipitation of the main issue between Spain and the United States is likely to throw the Maine disaster, with which the admin- istration means to deal as a separate and distinct issue, into the back&round as a subject for fyture settiement un- less Spain should 'take a position not now anticipated which would compel immediate action. On Tuesday the | President will probably transmit a| message asking for an appropriation to relieve the starvation in Cuba. The appropriation will probably be voted with almost as much unanimity as was | the 50,000,000 for the national def?ns?.i but the debate may bring out some criticism of the administration policy by those wio believe radical and ag- gressive intervention should be taken at once. The administration is assured, however, of a strong majority for the | policy it has so far mapped out to the Republican ane Democratic leaders. The members are so completely ab- sorbed by the questions of the hour that during the remainder of the week they are likely to inject debate upon these questions into the proceedings at every opportunity.! | But the rules as at present enforced are rigorous and the outcrop of passion and patriotism is Jikely to be confined largely to the debate upon the naval appropriation bill. Every effort will be made to dispose of the bill as quickly as possible in order to remove he op- portunity for inflammatory speeches.

Valuable Auxiliary Force to‘ Be Utilized in Case of War. | The recent transfer of the vessels of | the Revenue Marine to the navy has directed attention to this Important service. The Revenue Marine was es- tablished upon the recommendation of Alexander Hamilton, the first Secre-| tary of the Treasury, and antedates the regular navy by six years and seven month: It was organized with thirty commissioned officers March 21, 1791, with ten vessels built or in_course of construction. On March 27, 1794, Wash- ington signed the bill authorizing the‘ construction of six frigates, the first of | which—the Constellation—waslaunched | September 7, 1797, and these dates fix the beginning of the Revenue Marine and the navy of the United States. The statutes provide that in time of war the vessels of the Revenue Marine may be turned over to the Secretary of the Navy, and in the wars and skir- i s from 1798 to the rebellion of 1-64 the revenue cutters and their officers and crews have always ren- | dered efficient service. Beginning in 1793 with the vessels commanded by ten masters and other officers, maintained at an annual expense of $18,500, this service has grown until at the present time the fleet numbers thirty-eight ves- sels of all classes with 111 line officers, 10 cadets, 55 engineers and 863 enlisted Of the vessels, thirty are propel- S men. lers, two sidewheel steamers, four steam launches and two are sail. Only about one-half of the propellers are available and serviceable, three being stationed on the lakes. Of the twenty screw steamers enumerated in the ap- pended table one-half have a speed of only ten knots, and only those built of late have sea speeds of twelve to fifteen The locations of these cutters are: Richard Rush, Thomas Corwin, U. S. Grant, Bear and Golden Gate on the Pacific Coast, and the Hugh McCullough is on its way out here, making a voyage of 25,000 miles, via the Suez Canal. The other cutters are on the Atlantic Coast. Of all these vessels, more or less suit- able for naval purposes, the Hugh Mc- Cullough is almost equal to any of the gunboats recently built. She is a com- posite vessel, steel frame and wood bottom, and was launched from Cramp's yard December 19, 1896. The displacement is 1280 tons, her length 219 feet, breadth 34 feet, draught 14 feet. The engines are of 2000 horse- power, and developed a speed of 17 knots at the t-ial. Her armament con- sists of four 6-pounder Hotchkiss, four 1-pounders and a bow torpedo tube. | practically retired tons, built in 1896, is also a very fast and efficient cutter, but not likely to be taken from her station. The offi- cers of the Revenue Marine number 36 captains, one-half of whom have pass- ed the age where active duty should se; 36 first lieutenants, 33 second lieutenants, one-third of whom are 6 third lieutenants and 10 cadets. The engineer officer include 25 chief engineers, 21 first as- sistant engineers and 9 second a: - tants. The present armament, cons ing mainly of Hotchk and smaller machine guns, could no doubt be in- creased on some of the cutters to 4- inch quick-firing guns, as all the ves- sels are built sufficientls stroug to carry gunboat armaments. The other branch of the Government property on water convertible into aux- iliary naval vessels is the fleet of the Lighthouse Establishment, which cor prises 39 vessels of all c Many gt of these would be useless for war pur- poses, and the following list includes Armeria, 1052 Laurel, 320 tons: Manzanita, 450 tons; Mangrove, 393 tons. and Wisteria and Ziza » each of 450 tons. These Iron or steel propellers range in speed from 14 to 11 | knots; they are by virtue of the ser- vice required very strongly built, and could be fitted with a four or five inch pivot forward without much trouble, their general build and arrangement favoring such an armament. Thus the Revenue Marine and Lighthouse Es- tablishment may furnish 29 vessels to the naval defense, the only difficulty in the way being a lack of guns other than Hotchkiss. o ADVERTISEMENTS.
