Wnnt More Time.
HAVANA (Via Key Weat). March It.
—(New York World Cablegram)—The
United Staten naval court of Inaulry
upon the cause of the destruction of
the Maine will force a demand by
Spain for an International investiga
tion, anil from the delicacy of Its own
position the American court must fa
vor It officially as welcoming an exam
ination of its own tincT.ngs.
The maun ot testimony sworn to be
fore It has been all one way. One Itv
one the hypotheses from conservative
members to a possible Inside initial
cause of explosion have been absolute
ly refuted by the labors of intelljg nt
naval divers and the proofs of their
findings have hern reasoned out graph
ically and clearly by expert construct
ors, also of the navy. There seems to
Ire no possibility erf ml'construing their
re port If It Is not modified In obedience!
te* hints from Washington. If that re
port romeg out in full without mollfl
catlon. any foreign investigation must
decide that the men erf our navy are
honest and whether men erf onr navy
an- honest and capable.
The principal Spanish cry from now
on will Ire "time, give us time." just
as it has been th'dr war cry for three
dragging years of uselessly de. i;ru the
Cuban revolution, and they look to c ur
Navy department for certain compli
ance. The Spanish divers' reports ver
l.y the announcement that the Maine’s |
rant has been found much eret of line.
Although tlrelr superiors’ report, which
is prepare! already, .-hows the c nt ary,
the men themselves frankly aoit " that
1 he Maine's rim Is pointing off to th"
left of the plreetlon n which *h" n
t.'ct rear portion of the ah t points.
" oev Indorse th strip n cut th.it the
Maine practically was blown in two
and thus confirm th* fact tr.a. the
ship was demolished by a tremendous
explosive force from the outside.
the Spanish divers worked late Fri
day night about the protruding bot
tom plates where the how ought to be.
The day before they reported finding
the Maine's ram on the port side point
ing away from the wreck. Friday
they "thought" they found the bow in
tact—ram and ail in >.s proper vela
| tlve pogltion. Their float is now with
in thirteen yards of the sunken ram
| and they may be further examining it.
! The Soanish (.fill ers’ official sketch of
; divers' operations Friday shows the
| ram in its proper position—exactly
i contrary to the reports of their own
’ employes. Our naval experts think
i the ram lies as cabled, but that it is
possible that Spanish divers have ruls
| taken a portion of the upper part of
I the boat for the heavy ram. It has
about the same slope and’ as stated.
| probaldy was blown off the starboard
j from the solid steel of the ram. This
would place it in about the proper rel
ative position.
i report findings of file Spanish div
ers according to what they really are. ;
and not what their officers renort. It
Is hut just, however, to state that they
reailv think today that the Maine’s
bow is Intact ."nd in line. But tonitrht
they mav discover th- ir error. Much
depends on the real position of the
ram. If it is in line with the intact
portion of the wreck the theory of ex
terior explosion, of course, would not
he disproved nor reailv weakened but
if it is found out of line any small boy
I could know that somethin? must hnv"
| hit the Maine on the port sid" and
smashed in two wavs from th • shock.
| The Spanish divers row at work are

foul, obscure waters. They soon found
t the forward turre* in the mud under

NEW YORK, March 14.—The Army
and Navy Register, In its last Issue
says:
The Register is In possession of in
formation. the correctness of which
it has no reason to question, that cer
tain evidence gathered by the coil t
or Inquiry at liavina has come In a
semi-official form to the president
from two prominent members of th"
board. The Information has been In
the hands of the president since Sun
day and has served for the occasion
of unusual activity during the pres
ent week.
The information Is that the Main"
was destroyed by a government sub
marine mine, planted in Havana har
bor and deliberately exploded. More
than this, It appears the Maine wr.s ,
purposely moored In the vicinity of :
the mine, and that the explosion os i
(Hired at thp moment when the ship
had been opportunely carried by the
wind ami tide directly over the mine i
These facts have been hinted at an I
written about in dispatches from Ha- j
vana, Madrid and Washington, and j
from the varied statements made th" j
actual conditions have been touched
upon, but m thing authoritative lias i
been permitted to escape from the
court. That body Is understood to |
have completed Its work, hut nothing
is likely to be officially promulgated j
in regard to its findings for a we<di
or more. There are obvious reaspns j
for such action, the objects of which i
cannot he defeated by Independent
newspaper statements.
There can be but one outcome of
such a report, and preparations for
the inevitable result are being Indus
triously and Indefatigably prosecuted j

WASHINGTON. March 14.—In mak

of the future, the naw department
has by no means overlooked the strat

guard properly this most important
seaboard it lias been found necessary
to send an advance guard some dis
trauce down the SouthernPacifleocean.
The battleship Oregon, the sisterofthe
Indiana, and one of the most powerful
vessels id the navy, has been selected
for this work. Secretary Long today
telegraphed o-ders to its commander

will report front time to time by cable

such Instructions as chances in con

is taking on ammunition, about fifty
tons in all. which was unloaded at the

A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming lo Alaska or fiic
Klondike Gold Fields.
One thing should he impress 1 upon
j every miner, prospector or trac r < ni
j ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
I Yukon country, and that Is the nec's
Ity for providing an adet|ua!“ and
proper food supply. Whether procured
In the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must he his primary concern. Up
on the manner in which the miner has
observed or neglected this pr- ttlon
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must he healthful and
should he concentrated, hut the mos:
careful attention In the selection 1 I
foods that will keep unimpaired indefi
nitely tinder all the condition v.liuli
they will have to encounter Is Im
perative. For Instance, as hre id rais< d
with baking powder must be relied up
on for the chief part of every meal.
Imagine the helplessness of a minet
with a ran of spoiled baking powdf r.
Buy only the very best (lour; r Is '•!><
cheapest, (n the end. Experlr.. e ha.
shown the Royal Baking Powder
be the most reliable arid the trading
companies now uniformly supply 11 *.:
brand, as others will not keep In this
climate. Be sure that the bacon Is
swert, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upofv
which all must place a chief reliance,
and can under no clreumstunees h<
neglected. They may, of com <•, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies us tfie prospector may la
! able to pack or desire to pay for.

MINSTRELS' HUMOR
Witty Aimwrr rf an Irfftlimai! W!n

The minstrels of Ireland are no* ,- !i

of Erin, says an exchange. The mourn

these accompany are th< songs of In
land still. Down by th< rotten Ciad
dagh wharves of old Galway town 1
came upon a rapt audience, rays n.
well-known traveler, enthralled by th<

dering minstrel of Tipperary"—one of
the sweetest singers 1 < vor heard and »
one who would have been great were

it,” as they aptly term the west of
Ireland mountain dew. 1 had s< ;i Tim

Irish churn. In the pause following
his ballad I felt emboldened to tot-::
him back his wink, with the query:
"And, Tim, why didn’t you bring the
churn with its head?” "Faith yer hon

winsome smile, holding the churn

I never argue wld a lady—an', yer
