MADRID, Feb. 28—(New York
World Cablegram)—The rqport that a
Spanish squadron had sailed for the
United States has only its foundation
in thpse facts:
Spain is hurridly getting its navy
into fighting trim, and a torpedo flo- j
tilla will set sail for Havana this I
week. I learn, officially from the i
Spanish navy department that no
squadron has sailed from Spain with
in the last few days. The only cruis

the Vizcaya. A flotilla composed of
three torpedo destroyers, three tor
pedo bouts and the steamship City of
Cadiz, under command of Captain
Villamil, will leave Cadiz for Havana
this week, as has been cabled already.
The Spanish vessels which could fol

MADRID, heb. 28.—The Cardinal
Archbishop of ValMdollod has pub
lished a pastortal letter blaming Amer
ica for the prolongation of the Cuban
war. His eminence says: “The hypo
critical friendship of the United States
fosters tho rebellion and wastes
Spain's resources in order the better
to attack It when weakened.” Ho ex
horts “all true Spaniards to unite in
defending the rights and honor of the
nation.” The letter has caused wide
spread comment.
Tho Correspondenola Militar, organ
of the. army, says: “The prevailing im
pression Is that war between Spain
and the United States will break out
in April.”
A former cnptalr general of Cuba,
presumably Mortlnez Campos. Inter
viewed by a representative of Cor
respondenela Militar, is reported to
have said: “I never entertained a
doubt that If the rebellion were not
suppressed befor 1898 war would be
an accomplished fact. Presumably
my propheev will he fulfilled. I have
the consolation of having done all in
my power to avert U. and therefore I
do not regret the blame which has
been heaped upon me. All that is now
possible is that we should all unite to
meet the danger threatening the

MATTERS ARE QUIET.
No liinnuul Activity Reported In Naval
Circle*.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28—Secretary
Long has decided to abandon his pro
posed absence from the' navy depart
ment and continue at his duties. As
to the outlook he said he thought
things were looking much better. He
said the public ourrht not to be under
and misapprehension with regard to
naval movements; that so far they had
mostly been the ordinary dispositions
which are made from time to time; for
instance, the e-hipping of guns to New
York is to supply the Chicago, and
other vessels which are under recon
struction there and they would go in
any event. The gun factory at Wash
ington is where they are made and
they are sent to various points as the
occasion requires So, too, the call for
more men, he said, is simpiv the re
vival of the recommendation in his
annual report.
This statement by the secretary evi
dently was made to allay the impres
sion caused by the reports of heavy
shipments of guns from the Washing
ton navy yard and other war-liko
measures. The movements of some of
the war ships, such as the Detroit and
Marblehead toward Kev West, had al
ready been shown to have been in ac
cordance with orders not only made,
but published in the newspapers as
well before the Maine disaster, so that
the secretary's explanation on this
point Is only confirmatory of the state
ments of the subordinate officials of
the navy department.
The telegraph brought news of the
arrival at Key West of the two vessels
named, the DetroitcomingfromMobile,
where it was sent to participate in the
Mardi Gras festivities, and the Marble
head from New Orleans, where it went
for a similar purpose. The Detroit is
going up to the naval station to take
on coal, and both vessels will remain
attached to the North Atlantic squad
ron. It is again stated at the navy de
partment that the Montgomery, which
has been ordered to drop down to Key
West from Tampa, where it landed
Captain Crowninshield, has not as yet
received any orders to proceed to Ha
vana, and it is not decided yet when
the orders will issue, if at all.
The 'attention of naval officers has
been strongly attracted to the state
ment made by representatives of the
Spanish government to the effect that
there were no mines or torpedoes of
any kind in Havana harbor. It can be
said that this statement exactly agrees
with the inquiries that have been un
der way for many months by agents of
our government, for so far, it is said,
they have been unable to find the
eviueuce oi me existence or
any plan of defense In the harbor by
means of mines or torpedoes, much
less to locate them, as has been re
ported in some quarters. Of course
the effect of this statement, if it is to
he accented as conclusive on that
point, is almost certain to negative the
supposition that the disaster resulted
from other than accidental causes, as
the almost unanimous testimony of
experts here, based on the historv of
■torpedo work, is to the effect that no
single torpedo of any known type
could have caused the terrific wreck of
the Maine.
In the pursuit of details some of the
ordance officers, noting upon the
theorv that the large ten-inch maga
zine forward was not exploded, have
been looking Into the contents of the
smaller and adjoining six-inch maga
zines. They find that allowing for the
nmount of powder that was probably
consumed in practice drills l>v the
Maine before it arrived in Havana
harbor there was certainly no less
than 8.000 pounds of powder in this
magazine, an amount sufficient to have
caused enormous destruction had it
been exploded at one time.
Colonel Heywood, commandant of
the marines, acting under orders from
the navy department, is prenaring to
send all the marines at Key West, sur
vivors of the Maine, who are able to
travel to New York, where thev will
be nlaced on the receiving ship Ver
mont, there to be held for further as
signment. They will go bv steamer
to New York. The sailors at Key
West will be disposed of In similar
fashion.
The government authorities were
Placed in possession of the Informa
tion reaching Senor du Bose, charge
d’affaires of the Spanish legation, that
no mines exist inside or outside of
Havana harbor. This information
reached Senor du Bose and was com
municated to the Associated Press in
a brief and explicit statement. It can
he stated that this statement was
made, not as a matter of opinion or
personal conviction on the nart of
Penor du Bose, but as a conclusion of
fact, ascertained from those whose of
ficial position make them familiar
with every circumstance connected
with Havana harbor. Until this in
formation was in the possession of the
charge d’affaires he had no personal
knowledge of the farts.
Work In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Beyond
doubt the Corbett case will be decided
today and after its decision the bill
relating to the right of way of rail
roads in Alaska will probably be
taken up. Beyond this the program
in the senate for this week is qule
indpiinit.e.
The Alaska bill is of much wider
scope than its title indicates and it
will not be passed without considerable
j discussion. Some senators are of the
j opinion that it should be amended in
I several particulars, and they will seek
to secure these changes before the
vote is taken. It is believed the bill
will pass after a day or two of ta'k
on it.
All Quiet.
WASHINGTON Feb. 28.—The usual
Sunday quiet was not broken by any
new developments in connection with
the Maine disaster. Captain Crowin
sliield of the naval bureau came to
his ofllce in the Navy department to

unimportant telegrams. A dispatch
from Havana confirmed the press re
ports that the court of inquiry left
there on the Mangrove for Key West.
The State department received noth

Being Crowded Along — Indications

With Hawaii Left Suspended.
Work in Congress.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 28—The house
leaders have been straining all their
energies to expedite the appropriation
bills, with a view to an early adjourn
ment, and they are succeeding beyond
their most sanguine expectations. Not
in a quarter of a century have the ap
propriation bills been so far advanced
ii the long session as they are at this
time. Only three of the regular bills
remain in committee. The others
have gone through one or two stages
and one, the military academy bill, is
in the hands of the president. The
other nine are as follows: The pen
sion bill has passed both houses and
the differences have been agreed on
in conference: the legislative, execu
tive and judicial, army, fortifications
and the agricultural bills have passed
both houses and the differences are
being adjusted in conferences.The sen
ate amendments to the consular and
diplomatic bill have been agreed to by
the house committee on foreign affairs
ana only awaits confirmation of this
action by the house before going to
the president. The Indian bill passed
the senate and the amendments placed
there are being considered by the
house committee. The District of
Columbia bill, having passed the
house, is still in the senate committee,
and the sundry civil bill will probably
pass the house tomorrow.
Of the three bills still unreported to
the house both the naval and the post
office await contingent developments
before they can be completed. The
naval bill is practically complete save
for the provisions for dry docks and
new ships. O.n both these proposi
tions the developments of the next few
days are expected to control the ac
tion of the committee. If the board
of inquiry into the Maine disaster
should render a finding which por
tends strained relations with Spain
the most liberal provisions will be
made both for dry docks and ships.
.If the disasater was not due to acci
dental causes aboard ship it is almost
certain that two new battleships will
be provided for, one recommended by
by the secretary of the navy anil one
to replace the Maine, and that at
least one new dry dock recommended
will be provided for. If the Maine
disaster is found to have been acei
detal it is probable that no provision
tor the new ships will be made.
The completion of the postofflce bill
depends on the action of the house on
the Loud bill on second class mail
matter, whiich is to be acted on this
week.
The general deficiency is always the
last of the bills to be reported, as it
always includes such deficiencies and
other items as must be provided for
at the close of every session. After
this and the immigration bill are out
of the way nothing remains to pro
long the session of congress save the
annexation of Hawaii or war.
The leaders of both sides, looking
ahead, eliminating both of these pro
visions as possibilities, agree that the
appropriation bills should be passed
and congress ready to adjourn early
in May. If such a contingency as war
should arise it would bo necessary for
congress to act both in the formal
declaration of war and in furnishing
ways and means for prosecution.
With regard to Hawaiian annexa
tion there is no doubt that if the pre
sent treaty is abandoned in the sen
ate no move for annexation by legis
lative enactment will be provided by
the house. Both opponents and those
in favor of annexation believe that
the senate should retain jurisdiction.
The action by the senate on a resolu
tion of annexation would therefore
precede any action by the house and
it is this which gives color,, to the im
pression in the house that action in
the senate can be delayed until both
houses have completed their other
work and then an effort will be made
to adjourn and leave the question
suspended.
Speaker Reed makes no conceal
ment of his personal opposition to
annexation and prominent republi
cans, like Cannon, Walker and John
son, are also outspoken. Some of the
others, like chairman Dingley, have
made no public declarations on the
subject, but are believed to be in
sympathy with the opponents of an
nexation.
A large majority of the republi
cans, however, are of course in favor
of the administration’s policy, many
of them enthusiastically so. Chair
man Hitt of the foreign affairs com
mittee is placed among the supporters
of annexation, but it is probable that
the real .brunt of the battle, if the
contest is transferred to the house at
this session, will be borne by Mr.
Grosvenor, (rep., O.) and Mr. Hender
son (rep., Ia.) both of whom are en
thusiastic in its support.

No Longer Any Doubt.
HAVANA. Feb. 26.—(New York
World Cablegram). The naval board
of Inquiry Is completely satisfied now
by the evidence of divers in regard to
the origin of the explosion 'which de
stroyed the Maine. The diyers went
down into the wreck this morning
again and got evidence to confirm the
suspicions aroused by the findings of
yesterday. The court may not leave
for key West for a day or two as it
has found many more witnesses to
examine.
Hitherto the navy divers have been
at work for the purposes of investiga
tion. From now on the wrecking
steamer Right Arm will proceed vig
orously with its task, its divers were
busy today down forgard. It is ex
pected that all the remaining bodies
will be recovered within three days.
Lieutenant Commander Wainright
has charge of the work. Gunner
Charles Morgan, the warrant officer of
the cruiser Newark, probably will di
rectly overlook the divers. Chief
Gunner's Mate Olsen of the battleship
Iowa is doing splendid work. The
officers say that they have never seen
a better diver than he.
Poor Holzer was the man who, dy
ing in horrible agony, said to Cap
tain Sigsbee: “Captain. I am sorry I
can’t shake hands with you.” His
hands were swathed in bandages. “I
am sorry you’ve lost your ship and
your comrades.” He ought to have a
monument.
Yesterday’s disclosures of the div
ers prove finally a full international
fact, that the Maine was blown up
February 15 by an outside explos'on,
probably of a large torpedo. The
board of investigation has ceased in
vestigating the remains of the for
ward magazine. The members are
satisfied that it did not explode. From
the first glance everything has point
ed that way. It la known now that
the divers found under the flooring
of the big forward starboard maga
zin twenty-five tons of powder intact,
while tho sides '"•ere completely de
stroyed. It is an, absolute impossi
bility that a part of its 180 powder
filled cylinders should not have ex
ploded. And it is just as awfully
true that no explosives aboard the
3h'p could, unaided, have so mangled
and blown away and broken in two
the battleship Maine. Something
elese must have done it.
Naval experts say a big torpedo
placed under the port side of the bot
tom just next to the reserve magazine
would easily have caused the observed
damage if it wet e assisted by the
2,000 pounds of the quick burning
saluting powder known to have been
in *the reserve magazine. It is not
likely that mines exist inside the
closed Havana harbor, nor likely that,
if known to the government, a mine
would be placed in the position most
seldom occupied bv a ship anchored to
the buoy as in the Maine's position. It
is most likely that if such a mine had
been built it would have been b„dly
out of order, like most Spanish naval
affairs, if. indeed, it had ever con
tained explosives for whicn the Span
ish government paid.
As was cabled, one of the Maine’s
bottom plates has been blown from left
to right and upwards. Originally it
was under water on the port side
about opposite the forward turret.
It pow protrudes four feet out of
water, fifteen feet inside the proper
lino of contour of the vessel, as is
shown by the undamaged rear two
thirds. The Maine's, bottom plates
were painted, I am informed with Mc
Guinnes’ green anii-fouling paint. This
plate is thus painted on its port side
On its other side it is plastered with
the cement only used in the Maine on
the inside of the bottom plates. The
cement is gathered thick in the cor
ners of the angle irons on the star
board side of the plate.
This would be sufficient proof even
without the divers' magazine discov
ery* or the ten-inch shells thrown to
ward the starboard side; or the main
deck being doubled back to starboard
and part; or the living men who slept
near the big magazine: or the dead
bodies near it mangled; or the for
ward funnel thrown to right and rear;
or the cement hurled aboard the Wash
ington; or any other of the many
proofs already cabled. Anyone, was
indicative; all together are stunningly
convincing.

South Dakota, who is interested in the
free homestead amendment to the In

some statistics concerning the receipts
from the sale of public lands during
the ten years ended June 30 last. It
shows that the cash sales of such lands
for the period referred to amounted to
S40.9S7.782. In addition to the above
S3.4S8.745 was received in trust for the
Indians from the sale of lands ceded
by them. The receipts from fees and
commissions paid on entries and fil

interest, but no action was taken. No
Intimation has yet come from the court
