[ THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, ONDAY, APRIL 4, 1898. FORMIDABLE SHIPS IN THE SQUADRON “ Flyers”’ Commodore Schley the Best of Their Kind Afloat. HAMPTON ROADS, April 3.—The practical completion of a flying gquadron of th: American navy by the assignment of Commodore W. g. Schley to take charge and his acceptance as marked by his active operation on Monday last is an epoch-making event in the history of the present difficulty. No other action of this Government since the Maine disaster so actively determines the fact that actual warfare has been expected. The North Atlantic squadron is always organized, and the appointment of Captain Sampson to its command is but the natural sequence of the retirement of Admiral Sicard from active duty. So, too, the assignment of ships of war to that squadron or to the Pacific squadron dre but moves toward the mobilization that might occur at any time. The fleet practically gathered and altogether proposed that will bear this euphonifous title is one of the most formidable that can be gathered by any nation. Egotistically in favor of the United States as this statement may be, facts bear it out. In average rate of speed, in armored protection, in caliber and number of guns, and in fighting quality and discipline of men, it can be proved that the composition of this flying squadron is superior, point of numbers being equal, to any organization of a like nature that can be formed by a foreign power. A summary of the points in comparison with the best boats that Spain can offer in making up a similar squadron follows: 8 3 % = Tons. Horsepower. Speed Knots. 9,275 18,000 22 Columbia . 6,376 12,000 2 Massachusetts....10,288 9,000 17 Minneapolis...... 7,376 11,000 3% The four best armored cruisers that Spain has, compared with this & fleet of flyers, would be as follows: Name. Tons. Horsepower. Speed Knots. Viscaya............ 7,000 13,000 20 Infanta Maria.... 7,000 13,000 20 Pelayo . 900 8,000 16 Oquen 7,000 13,000 20 The total displacement tonnage of theUnited States flying squadron 109 and of the Spanish 30,900. The average horsepower of the States vessels is 12,500 and that of the Spanish 11,750. The av- erage rate of speed of the four United States ships is 213 knots per hour, while the Spanish fleet has to content itself with 19 knots. It is possible that the battle-ship Massachusetts, being somewhat ower than the rest of the fleet, will be supplanted by the New York, and the average of speed and fighting capability of the squadron will be increased. It must be remembered that the Brooklyn and New York are two of the finest types of fighting machines in the world, having their main batteries pplied with rapid-fire guns, with which very few warships are equipped except in a secondary battery. The great point of advantage of this fleet, however, is in thickness of armor, cali- ber of guns and the fighting qualities of the men. There are five 13- inch guns on the American flying squadron, while the whole Spanish navy has not one, and only two 12-inch guns. Of 12-inch guns, our squadron has four and of 8-inch guns fourteen. o 7] e > Under Command of % | < RARERRANRRRNNNERNRRNRERRRR <) % % <3 8 <3 <3 % . 8 &8 NEW YORK, April 8—A % ‘Washington special to the Her- 3 ald says: Secretary Long has 13 finally directed the abandonment & | of the wreck of the battleship Maine. This decision is osten- sibly the result of the recom- mendation of the Chadwick board of survey, whose report reached the Navy Department yesterday afternoon. In reality it was directed by a desire on the part of the administration to re- move from the harbor of Havana the wrecking outfit and divers sent there to recover valuables from the Maine, and it was feared that they would fall into the hands of Captain-General Blanco's forces in case of war. Abandonment of the Maine 1is strong indication of the purpose of the | administration not to arbitrate the question of the cause of her destruction. | No direct request has come from the | captain looking to this adjustment of | the controversy between the two Gov- ernments, and. in fact, the only answer | which Spain has made to the finding of | the Court of Inquiry has been an eva- | sive one, showing she did not consider | there was any action necessary on her [CXOJOXOFOJOROJOJOOROXOXOXOTOXOXOIOXOXO) LR OJOJOICKOIOXOIOOYOXOXOYOIOXOIOYOXOJOXO) % | part, as she was not directly charged ¢ |with the crime. Since this representa- | tion was made, President McKinley has | had no correspondence with Spain, and | unless the Madrid Government comes | forward with a proposition to make | reparation for the loss of the vessel, WILL ABANDON THE BATTLESHIP the President has determined not to bring the matter again to the attention of the Sagasta Ministry. The belief has existed among administration officials, however, that Spain, to avaid war on this incident, may suggest arbitration. The fact that the Maine is to be aban- doned is thought to indicate that such a suggestion will nct be acceptable to this Government. z In its report to Secretary Long the Chadwick board of survey went at some length into a description of the wreck and the condition of the ordnance ma- terfal and other stores which had been recovered by the wreckers. The report conforms with the statements made by Captain Sigsbee, who informed the de- partment wupon his return that the wreckers had succeeded in raising five of the six-inch gu-- and smaller guns which form the secondary battery of the ship. The wreckers have been un- able to raise the ten-inch guns in the port and starboard turrets, but to pre- vent the after guns from being of any use to the Spaniards in case of war Captain Sigsbee removed the breech plugs from the weapons, and they can- not therefore be mounted on the. forti- fications of Havana. The ten-inch guns in the starboard turret are under water and cannot be recovered. Captain Sigsbee requested tha+ the department permit him to uc2 small quantities of dynamite to break the rivets of the clamping on top of the turret and sideplates, but when the matter was brought to the attention of Wreck of the Maine to Be Left in Havana Harbor, and Spaniards Declare They Will Raise the Vessel to Vindi- cate Their Honor. the Spanish authorities, objection was made and it was decided that it would be impolitic to allow the employment of explosives. The United States will thus leave in the harbor of Havana two formidable ten-inch guns, which, with thelr mounts, are worth more than $100,000. These guns will constitute the only thing of value left on board the Maine. It is the expectation of the authorities that Spain will direct the removal of the wreck. I was told at the Spanish Legation a few days ago that when the United States' formally abandons the wreck it was the purpose of the Spanish authorities to raise it for the purpose of proving to the entire world that the United States Naval Court of Inquiry falsely reported when it found the ex- plosion was from the outside. Spain will do this, he said, at her own ex- pense, and vindicate herself and her Naval Court of Inquiry, which found that the explosion was from the inside. Under instructions sent by Secretary Long to Lieutenant-Commander Rich- ard Walinwright, that officer will at once take measures for getting the wrecking outfit and employes of the wrecking companies out of the harbor. After they have gone he will return to the United States on board the light- house tender Mangrove., The Fern will be the only American vessel left in Ha- vana harbor, and she will be retained there in order to convey Consul-Gen- eral Lee and other Americans from Ha- vana in case of a declaration of war. : [N DANGER 0F MOB VIOLENCE operate with him without declaration of war. making a; The most that can be said as to this is that Congress will wait until Wednesday for the message. | The acter of the message and | time alone can tell whether Congress | will follow out the President’s recom- mendation.

This official further informed me that a lengthy cable had gone to Minister Woodford outlining what the President intended to say to Congress and leaving it dis- cretionary with him as to the advisa- bility of letting the Madrid authorities know that the time had now come for | action. Confronted with these facts showing that the United States is at last deter- mined to make a final and vigorous stroke for the independence of Cuba, Spain will thus, the official thought, be in humor to heed the advice of Great Britain and France and the financial interests of those countries and | immediately find some way of comply- ing with the demands of the President | for letting go of Cuba. This, coupled with reports in circula- | tion about the influence of the Pope being exerted in this country to stave | off war, may account for the peace talk | which is heard about Washington m-' night. It was reported to-night that Arch- bishop Ireland had arrived in Washing- ton and had conveyed to the President through Senator Elkins a message from the Pope. It was said that he spent the day with Senator Elkins. The lat- ter was with the Preident for quite a while this evening, and his presence at the White House was regarded by some as a confirmation of the rumor | of his conference with Archbishop Ire- land.

Americans attract increased attention wherever they are seen, yet there has been no act of violence, nor, as far as I could learn, has any one been insulted on the streets. But groups before churches and cafes alike turned to look after one as he passed. Americans in Havana expect trouble to-morrow. So do all other residents.

L Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, April 3. The expectation in the Senate is that the report of the Committee on Foreign Relations on the Cuban situation will je made to the Sen- ate not later tha.. Wednesday, and if the report should be made at that time the probabilities are that it will engage the greater share of the Senate’s time for the remainder of the week. The committee will make an effort to secure action upon the resolutions which it will re- port without having them in the debate, but with very little probabil- ity of success. Undoubtedly, a large majority of the members of the Senate are favorable to some declaration apropos to the Cuban situa- tion, but there is certain to be a difference of opinion on the course to be pursued and the language to be used, which will be sufficient to pre- vent immediate action except in one contingency. This contingency is the possibility of an agreement to details between the President and the committee. If the committee’s report should prove to be in accord with the President’s recommendation in all essential particulars, the Senate likely would adopt the resolutions brought in without debating them. There is, however, a considerable element in the Senate which is opposed to war except as a last extremity, and there are several who think there ought to be delay of at least a week or ten days before ac- tion is taken in Congress in order to insure the safe landing of ships and war supplies now on their way to this country from Europe. The Committee on Foreign Relations is not impressed with this line of rea- soning, and the statement is made that Spain is no better prepared for hostilities than we. The members of the committee do not expect the President’'s message before Tuesday, and they are prepared to wait un- til Wednesday. Under great pressure there might be a delay beyond that time, but a request for delay would cause great restiveness on the part of the majority of the committee. While desirous of giving the President all the time he may actually require for the preparation of his message, they are very impatient of the outside influence which is being exerted to hold them in check. This pressure, in the shape of letters and telegrams throughout the country, is from people who are opposed to a war policy, and with these the members of the committee are being flooded. “The writers,” a member of the committee said to-day, “generally asked to maintain an honorable peace. Of course we all want an honor- able peace, but the time has gone by when it can besecured underexist- ing conditions in Cuba. We cannot allow our conduct to be controlled by such persons.” When the President’s message is received it will, on Senator Davls motion, be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, which will bring in its report later in the day, or it may not do so until the follow- ing day. So far as it is informed as to the probable line of the Presi- dent’s communication, the committee is now prepared to report, but the members realize that there will be some details of the message that will require careful consideration and in that event they will give more time to it than an hour or two on the day of its presentation. Unless there is a change in the committee’s conclusions after the President is heard from, the resolutions reported will recommend the recognition of inde- pendence, with a declaration for armed intervention to make independ- ence practicable. They will also include the Maine explosion as one of the causes set forth for this action. The resolution will be accompanied by the carefully drawn report, written by Senator Davis, Justifying them.

The whole article of the Liberal on the subject is bellicose in tone. The Pais asserts that “great uneasiness prevails at Washington concerning the attitude of the Southern States in case of war with Spain, and also because the Spaniards are organizing in Mexico to invade the States from In conclusion the Pais asserts that it will not be the United States. Much excitement was caused to-day by the receipt of a dispatch saying the passports of the Spanish Minister at Washington will be handed mored cruiser Cristobal Colon, of 6840 tons, which will accompany the tor- pedo flotilla to Cuba. It has also been decided by the Gov- ernment to send the armored cruisers Vizeaya and Almirante Oquendo, both of 7000 tons, back to Havana. They will receive orders to this effect as soon as they sight Porto Rico. A national subscription to strengthen the Spanish fleet will be organized by a royal decree, but the decree will not be published before a declaration of war has been made. The Cabinet, which met at 8 o’clock last night, discussed the situation until midnight. At the close of the confer- ence it was declared that no official news had been received at that time from Washington, but it was admitted that the Ministers were filled with gloomy expressions. Each Minister de- clared that he had received private in- formation confirming the extreme gravity of the situation. The Minister for War, Lieutenant- General Correa, submitted for the ap- proval of the Cabinet elaborate plans for the organization of the military forces of the kingdom. The Minister for the Home Department, Don Ruiz de Capdepon, in an interview declared that everything pointed to war. The Cabinet has examined propositions for the arming of merchant vessels as privateers, but it has been decided to awalit events before coming to any de- cision on this subject. Finally & telegram from the Spanish Minister at washington, Senor Polo y Bernabe, was read at the Cabinet meeting, in which Senor Bernabe said that President McKinley would be overruled by Congress.
