WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. Several reports
came by tcleg apb to the State and Navy de
partments to'l.iy from Havana. All of the
naval tclcgmms , howovor. bore date of yes
ttrday , while that from Gcnwal Leeto the
Rtato department was sent late last night
though marked this morning. These mcs
Lagos do not throw any light on the cause o
the disinter and In fact the olllccrs In the
Navy department Imvc about resigned them
selves to Ifio belief that nothing definite 01
ibis point can bo known for scve al days to
come. Their reason for till * belief Is tha
the operations of the divers upon the wrcel
of the Maine nro being confined at the \ve.s
cut to the recovery of the bodies or the dixii
fitlll cntaiiigled In the wreck and the recover }
of valuables , neither of which can bo neg
lected , while the other branch of Uie wo k
iMinely , the Investigation of the cause of tha
disaster , tnny be more properly left to the
conduct of the court of Inquiry.
General Lee's dtiratcli was ns follows :
HAVANA , Keli. 21. 9:40 : n. in. Great neeil
of dlvont to pot effects and Indies from the

oh vcn. Visited thf-m yestcrilsiy. All will
rrrivcr except two. They arc comfortable
and well cared for. LI2E.
Acting Secretary Day made the following
answer Immediately to his cablegram :
DEPAUT.MENT OP STATE. WASHING
TON. l-Vli. 21. Hnvo culled intention of
Na\y dcpiutmeiit to your request for divers.
Same will be complied with.
WUCCKINC. DIVEHS NEEDED.
The department boilovos that the scarcity
of tllvcra complained of by General Leo
probably lias nlieady been overcome by the
orrlval or the nncho with a force of divers
from the North Atlantic squadron at Tor-
tiiRiii nnd with necessary apparatus. A dta-
jiauu of last night from Captain Slgsbce
" \vas as follows :
NUie more bodlci : burled yesterday ; only
two of which were Identified William
liiindos nnd M. Harris.
Another dispatch was as follows :

Jl. Is uo'ders.tood here that toy "the zone
c. the e-cploai'oii" In his dispatch. Captain
Slgsbec moans that part of the wreck for-
wfiiil ' .ho main mnst that suffered directly.
The reference to the Lee dispatch to Hlaiico
tmic'its the formal notification to the Spanish
authorities there of the coming of the Ameri
can wrecking vcHsels to Havana. Under
nr-linary circumstances there might bo some
| UeEtIon of the right of a foreign wrecking
vepsGl to operate In the harbor of Havana ,
jircs'.imlng that the Spanish law la Identical
with our own. Hut In the case of a vessel
llle the Maine the ruk- would not apply ,
.though the notlco Is conveyed to Captain
General Ulanco na a matter of courtesy ana
. -jroveat pnsslblo delays through the Intor-
fcronco of some unlnstructcil subordinate In
'tho customs Hervlco at Havana.
Captain Slgsbeo's last , sent yesterday was
ns follows :
Will send two wounded from hospital by
the Ilachitomorrow. . These are two rooom-
mendcd to ( to to Tortugas" . DurnPtte ( cap-
t.ln of the Unoho ) would report to admiral.
The Navy department has Informed
Admiral Itowo at Key West of these facts ,
coivniunlca-ted by Captain Slgsheo. It
IIMVI" ! entirely to the admiral's discretion the
nuzlBiiinont of the wounded arriving from
Havana to Tortugas Instead of Key West.

He denial by Captain Sobral of the authen
ticity nf Intcrvlens credited to him In news ,
rapew Jtiil the further fact that ho had prc-
\lously terminated his offlclal connection
with the Spanish legation here , has decided
to Ignore the matter.
What threatened to be another Interna
tional Incident growing out of certain alleged
utterances by Lieutenant Commander Sobral
has bcon dismissed summarily , aa shown by
the- following xtatempnt given out at the
depnrtnuut of State :
"Tho Department of Stnte learns from the
Spanish ch.irRn d'affaires thnt Lieutenant
Commander Sobrnl , to whom unfavorable
ulternncM respecting the discipline of the
t'nltod States navy had been recently at
tributed In a ncTOMtaiprr Interview , was re

the Spanish legation In the United States
seine time ngo. bis successor. Lieutenant
Commander Don Samon Cnrranzn y Regurn ,
having been appointed on the 21th of Jan
uary last In his capacity , "
Secretary Long today denied a report that
he had ntlvhcd certain I'hlladolphlans not
to send further relief supplies to Cuba , add
ing that on the contrary ho wished them to
send all the supplies they could afford to.
SENDS KIVI3 DIVERS.
Admiral .Sicanl telegraphed from Key West
this afternoon that 'ho had sent tlvo divers
to Captain Slgsbep and nskcd If that was
sufficient. Tha acting chief of the navlga
tlon bureau , Captain Dickens , at once dt
rooted the admiral to put himself In com
munlcntlon with Captain Slgsbeo and lean
his needs at first hands.
The business of the Navy department In
getting back to Its normal condition , as Is
ovldencod by the fact that an order has been
Issued to discontinue the special telegraph
service established with Key West and here
after the olllco at thnt place will close a
10 o'clock at night as formerly.
Commander Porsytho. the commandant at
Key West , has also asked permission of the
department to stop his dally bulletins , and
this has boon granted with the understand
Ing that 1io will rpport any deaths that may
occur among the sufferers In the hoapltn
thrre. Today ho reported that they are al
getting along nicely.
The exchange' of offlclal condolences stll
continues. Today Secretary Long sent a to- !
egram as follows to Captain Knlatc , com
mantling olllccr of the Spanish cruiser Vlz-
cnyi :
I Imvo the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your telegram of condolence for the
IO--M of the Mulno , nnd to thank you for the
expression or sympathy.
A .similar response was made to a cable

tenant Commander L. G. Sobral , naval at-
taoho to the Spanish legation at Washington ,
now In this city , and during an Interview
hcl.l In the Spanish language , asked If the
reported Interview held with him had Leon
accurately stated.
Lieutenant Commander Sobral , who un-
dordtands a llttlo Engll-'h , xald ho had bcon
nileundcrutaod , hence misquoted. Ho said
.liat the construction placed on ha ! remark
lad led to ( in erroneous deduction , that ho
had not made any unkind or lurtih remarks
about the otllccrn of the Maine.
The reporter In speaking to him quoted
the opinion said to have been given by an
olllccr In the navy of Great Urltaln redacting
on the discipline In the American navy.
Lieutenant Commander Sobral ventured the
remarks that accidents happen on chips , and
thnt perhaps the sentinel on duty Imd become -
como cnrolco-s.
Ho also said ho was not aware that ho
was being Interviewed. Ho had no unkind
leellng toward the American navy , and ho
iail many frlonda among the naval olllcera
and In the government at Washington , Ho
cgrottod the whole circumstance.
When asked If hla ofllclal connection with
.ho Spanish legation had ceased ho said It
tad not , and that ho was as formerly the

oday from the VIzcaya by Lieutenant J ,
A. Dougherty , U. S , N. , on the government
ug Narkeeta , On arrival at the Spanish
onmilate Captnln Kulato was received by
Consul General Daldasaiio. Hovoral promt-
lent Spanish residents of this city were In-
rpdured to Captain Kulato and after a brief
cceptlon the captain , tha consul general
nd their attendants crossed over the
Irooldyn bridge to the navy yard. A large
rowd was outside the Spanish consulate ,
but thi-ro was no demonstration. At the
navy yonl Captain Eulato paid hla respects
o Admiral IImice , the commandant , and
v i received with the usual honors , The
crcmonlrs were brief and the Spanish party
eon rnturmid to the consulate.
Cuptaln Eulate alia visited Governor's
tslfciid And paid his respects to General Mor-
Itt , U. S. A. , auil afterward the party
rove to the city hall , where a cell naa
lade upon Mayor Van Wyck.
During tl-o receptloa at the navy yard
Captalu Kulato expressed to Admiral 11 unco
hl deep sympathy with the navy and people
of the fillip- , ! States over the loss of the
Maine and the bravo men who went down
with It , Captain Bulftto raid that bo would
Ilko to attend the rpeclat requiem ma'fn to
bo oslebratcd for the Maine's dead at St.
Patrick's cathedral tomorrow , Admiral
Ilunce appreciated the sentiment expressed ,
but Mid that as It wag a denominational re
ligious ceremony ho could not extend to
Captain Kulatc an official Invitation. Cap
tain Kulnto mlJ that during the Vlzcayi's
stay In this port Its flag would be at half
mast as n token ot respect to the "Maine's
dead. Iloth on the arrival and departure of
Captain Kulato a comiany of marines pre
sented anna.
From the Spanish consulate Captain Eu-
late returned to hla chip.
The social courtesies which the govern
ment Intended to cxtcnl to the oulcera of
the VIzcaya have bcon nbandcciod on ac
count of the Ma'ilo matter. As a result , the
stay of the VIzcaya at Now York will prob
ably bo shortened nnd It will salt on Thurs
day nett. The ahlp will proceed direct to
Ilavtaa , not stopping at Charleston or other
ports , as had been sugEc.ned during the
earlier preparations.
The VIzcaya will not coal at New York ,
according to the undontand'iig hero , nor will
It bo necessary for It to take coal before
reaching Havana. This determination glvca
relief to the authorities here , as the taking
on of coal la tlmo of public excitement In
attended with fore or loss rUk , the coal
affording an opportunity to extremists for

WASHINGTON , Feb. 21. In reply to nti
inquiry into the present status neil prospoctc
of the national university enterprise , ox-
Governor John Wesley Hoyt , chairman ol
the natloml committee , says good progress
seems to bo making In nil quarters unlesd
It bo In the ocnato. There opposition hnj
occurred of ecclesiastical origin In commit
tee nnd this , In connection with the other
clrcurrotances. has simply delayed action.
Nevertheless , the friends of the measure am
co&fldcnt of early and favorable roaults.
Mrimvhlle the work of the national com *
tnltteo , sa > s Mr Hoyt , nas been vigorous
and fruitful of good to thn cauan In tnany
wajs ; la the addition ot many dlstlngulsaod
names to Its already formidable IL't ot mem
bers , Including these ot eminent Btatcsnieti
and of some sixty college and university
presidents , bosldra the great number already
enlisted among them the heads ot the Uni
versity of Virginia and ot n dozen or moro
Iciotltutlons of the religious denomination for
a time supposed to bo against the national
movement , but now known to bo , for the
most part , In sympathy with It In the awak
ening < 5t deeper Interest among men and
women of leading 'nfluenco throughout the
country , as well 04 among public Journals la
all sections ; ncid , finally , In the enlistment
ot a number ot patriotic men and women of
fortune , some of whom are seriously consid
ering the offer In advance of endowment ot
departments , professorships , lectureships aad
fellowships In the coming university.
The most notable ot the many aids
actually rendered to the National univer
sity committee In tbo recent past nro these :
The voluntary gift ot $1,500 by Mrs.
Phoebe A. Hearst ot California and District
of Columbia , for the salary of the chair
man's secretary during the year Just passed.
The support accorded by the George
Washington Memorial association , under the
lead ot Mrs. Ellen A. Richardson , Mrs.
Phoebe A , Hearst. Mrs. Calvin S. Brlco of
Ohio and other distiugulscd women of the
country an association which has among
Its officers the presidents of the National
Council of Women , the World's Woman's
Christian Temperance union , the General
Federation of Woman's Clubs , the national
university committee of the Daughters of
the American Revolution , the Columbian
Daughters of America , the General So
ciety of the United States Daughters of
177C-1S12 , the Domes of the Revolution , the
Ladles of the Grand Army of the Republic ,
the King's Daughters and perhaps yet other
national organizations ; president Charles A.
Boll of the American Security and Trust
company , Washington , acting as treasurer.
The Immediate object of this George Wash-
ngton Memorial association is the raising
of $250,000 for the first national university ,
.ho building to 'bo erected on the site se-
cctcd by Washington himself and reserved
'or university purposes In the pending bill.
To this end , and for the further support of
the national university cause , It has formed
state and congressional district committees
of influential women In nearly every ouo
of the states , all of which are preparing for
special contributions , iu small amounts , on
Washington's birthday .and until the whole
amount Is raised. It Is bolloved by Mr.
loyt that they will succeed and that ere
, ho final date , December , 1899 , congress will
tavo done Its part also.
T'ie offer la Just now made by General J. B.
Hmtli'rson , L.L. D. , ! ate United States sen
ator from Missouri and now of 'this city to
) o one of 100 to pay into the treasury of
ho university $1,000 each when congress
shall have done as much. Ills object Is
to encourage the crcatloa of a special fund
of $100,000 for some important chair In the
university , and there Is no objection ou
ils part to the taking ot any number of
such shares by any ouo contributor , while
> reforrlng , In the Interest of the cause of
ho university , that the distribution should
> e as wide as the country itself.
The national committee assumes that this
example of General Henderson will bo
iromptly followed by liberal friends of the
enterprise , and that the Institution , when
once established by congress , will , as Wash-
ngton believed , become so popular as a
center for patriotic gifts fcr the most part
as to relieve congress of demands of govern
ment appropriations.

she did not have the consent of an orphan's

of present ownoro had not boon attacked
until forty years after the transfer was
made , the court held that It was now too
late to attack It. Justice Brown said
that when the transfer was first made
the land Involved was not worth
to exceed $200 , but that now , being covered
with buildings and other Improvements , It
was valued nt not Ices than $1,000,000. The
