The arrival of cveral survivors of Uio Malno and ihclr cxlenued' conference wild President MKln- ley and Secretary Long furnished Ihe moat Interesting featuio In loday's developments on tbe Spanish situation. Three officers of the Maine , Lieutenant 0. W. T. Holinan , Lieutenant Ocorgo P. Blow and Lieutenant A. W. Catllti of the marlnt corps , accompanied by Boatswain tarklits , came- unexpectedly ficiu Key Weal. It was said their visit was purely voluntary or their part , oa they are now on walling ordccs ud are free lo go where Ihoy ploj&e. Their long cctifcrence al Ihe Navy depart ment and later at the White IIouso led to much conjeolure , It being asserted that Lieu- tccant Blow brought with < ilm ttie report ol the court of Inqulcy , or at least the gen eral conclusion reached by lhat court. It can bo stated i oelllvely , however , from nn authoritative source , that the ofljcers did not bring with them the reporl , cither as a whole or Its general conclusions. It Is said wllh equal posltlvenc .s and authorllattvcuefA tlMl they do uol know what tlie action of tde csurt ot Inquiry Is , and therefore nro not In a position to convey any information ta the president or eecretary ot the navy on that point. Their talks were confined en tirely to graphic narratives of Ihelr ex periences on Iho nlghl ot Ihe explostcn. In Ihe course of Ihis narrative Individual opluUn os lo Ihe cause of Iho explosion found exptesslcxi. These opinions , as already Elated , were purely personal and not founded on the proceedings of the court ot Inquiry. There personal opinions , It waa Icai-ned re- IMbly , were atrongly favorable to tlie. theory of en external cause leading lo Ibo deelruc- tlon of the Maine.

Tlils led naval offlcani lo rcIYaln from referring to Ihe Malno dlsasler while lalkltig with Ihom. One of the oUlcers volunteered the suggciUlon lhat ho would bo glad to talk If hlfl lips were nt scaled by the ctristccU orders. Afler Ihe conference wllh the president and the nejretary of the navy the Maine officers did not return to the Navy depart ment and considerable care \\ns cxc'-ciaed In having their whereabouts kept from pub lic attention. Another interesting arrival of the day was Constructor Hoover , the technical ex pert , sent to Havana to Identify the twisted plates in the Maine wreckage , with a view to learning whether Ihe explosion WES of Internal or external origin. Mr. Hoover also maintained silence concerning the wreck. He made no report to the secretary of the navy , as he was sent to Havana to learn facts , nnd then embody It In testimony before the naval court of Inquiry. MAY QKT MOHE. SHIPS. i Late In the day the prospects became brlghlcr Tor the acquisition by the United States of tfio ex- copllcnally flue foreign war ships , namely , the armored crulrer San Martitio , belong ing to the Argentine Republic , and the bat- tlci/.ilp General O'Hlgglns , belonging lo Chill. The hope of gc-Ulng Ihese ships had been almost given up , but cablegrams received toiuy from Commander Brownron , now In Europe , made the outlook more encouraging. Up to the clcoe of office hours an actual purchase - chase had not been concluded , but a high olllcial summed up the situation by saying Iho ncgolloatbns were getllog "very hot. " Tuo &iu Martlno was originally built for the Italian government , and was Ihen known as Iho Varez , but since Its purchase by Argen tina , it has been reclamed. Both Ihe Navy and War departments con tinue Ihelr acllve preparallons for emergency anil contract. ! ! } all branches of armament are being made dally by the various bureaus. The naval bureau of ordnance has contracted for 4,500,000 pounds of brown powder , which is probably the largest single order ever given. ThU was divided between the Cali fornia Powder company tud the Hupout Powder company. These concerns together are furnishing the bureau with 20,000 pounds dally , nnd within a week or so It Is expected the capacity of these two works will bo brought up to 40- 000 pounds of powder dally. The order U sufllcient In Ihc agqregale lo give 200 rounds for every gun allcal In the American navy , and with this large supply on hand the navy for tbo first time lu ypara will be more- than amply supplied with powder. An unusually largo number of senators took atUantagc of the fact that the senate wus not in session today lo call upon Iho cabinet officers , with the liopu of securing definite Information as to the Cuban situa tion. They succeeded only In learning lhat Iho reporl of Ihe Malno court of Inquiry had not arrived , but thai It was expected early next week , and lhat It would be forwarded to congress immediately upon its arrival , unless of an unexpectedly startling charac ter. ter.Some of them found the b'lgh oftlclals of the Stale department deliberating upon the line of policy to be pursued In rase the re- i port of the naval court should have the effect of entirely eliminating Ihe Maine Incident from Iho situation. So strongly was this conllngency iluelt upon lhat the inference was drawn by some of Ihc senatorial visitor * that Ihe department had been led to believe , cr had even been Informed , that the report would fall to connect the Spanish authorities or the Spaniards with the Iragedy. Still the Stale department ofllclals did not make any positive declaration that such Information - formation was In their pcesesslon. rather advancing It as a tentative suggestion , and when pressed for Information on this point. replied that they only know lhal Iho report I was to come next week , and that they had no advance Information as lo Its contents. NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS. The diplomatic aspect of the Spanish ques- tlrn developed no new phases today. It la mated positively that no concrete proposi tions on the enlargement of the present plan of autonomy , or a settlement based on in dependence , by purchase or otherwise , or a mutual cessation of naval and war prepara tions , liavn been under negotiation , ' These subjects are continually coming up for abstract discussion , more 1n the line of argument , pro and con , as to what might be done toward a lolutloo. But beyond Ihls of tbM propoMUoot have advanced to the statement where It may be said to be a question of ofliclal negotiations between the two governments. Messrs. Anguclo , Valera and Cadcnas , the three commissioners named by the. Cuban cabinet to act with Minister Polo In framing a contract trealy , will be presented to Secre tary l-herman and Judge Day on Monday noxt. They expect to take up the negotla- ' lions with Commissioner Kasson after the ceremony of presentation Is concluded. In connection with the relief measures be ing extended to Cuba , Ihc suggestion wan made loday lhat the relief supplies \jere goln ? ; exclusively to Ihe pro-Spanish suffer ers , and not to those within the Insurgent lines. This has been suggested as a pos- slblc cause for difference , as It Is said that the authorities here feel that there should bo no discrimination among the sufferers because of their political adulation. Commodore Farquhar , formerly chief of the bureau of yards and docks of the Navy department and now In command of the Norfolk navy yard , was In conference with the naval offlclals tsaay. Ho reported that the finishing touches have been put on the monitor Purilan and lhat It is In fine con dition for sea service. It Is said thai Ihc Purilan will leave soon for Poit Hoyal , S. C. , at which place II has bzen rcporled Iho Navy department will lo cate a .fleet of torpedo' boats , which may bo called on for assistance either by the fleet at Hampton Ilea s or that at Key West should necessity arise. Port Iloyal Is at a convenient distance from either of the two places , and although the torpedo bsats are slower in movement than the cruisers , they could reach cither place within reasonable time. .The monltora which it Is said will compose the fleet Include Ihe Amphltrlto , Terror , Mlaulonomah and Purilan. The armament for the yacht Mayflower , purchased by the ( Navy department during the present week , Is still under consideration by the naval officials. The yacht now car ries several rapld-flro guns , awl the proba bility U they will be supplemeuled by a fpw olhcrs of four , five or six-inch caliber of Ihe same character. The Iwo Brazilian vessels rccenlly pur chased by Ihe government , It is said , will betaken taken to New York. The magnificent first-class batllcshlp Oregon has left San Franelsco for Its trip alonj the soulhern Pacific coast. This fact was reported to the JCavy dcpartmenl today and Its destination was set down as Callao , I'eru. This latter , fact caused some sur prise , as II was generally expected the ves sel would eto'p' at Acapulco , iMoxlco , and probably at some other place. Its trip lo Callan Is an unusually long one without a stop. The statement Is made that Ihe Oregon will await orders at Calloa. Ol'HAXS C.I'T UIIK KX K It A I.

( Special dis patches under clato of Key Wc.it today , re port that General Pando of the Spanish army has been captured by General Garcia , the Insurgent commander.

The mllllary operations have been sus pended by General Pando In the east of Cuba and ho la necking a conference with General Gomez , President Mnsso and Gen eral Callxto Garcia and olher prominent chiefs. Insurgents to the number of several thousand have gathered on Ihe east and west sides of the Jaruco-Moron Irocha , in lha province of Puerto Principe , which Is much weakened by the withdrawal ot Iroops by General Pando. It U believed this conference Is tbo Usl rard of the autonomist government , backed by Madrid , lo secure peace. A formal tender Is Boughl lo be made of Iho offers of Ihe radical wing of the autonomists , the same bring the practical Independence ot Ihe Island. Havana cfflclals bcllevo lhat tbo offer will bo accepted and that the war will be ended. The Insurgent authorities and the bent posted merchants , bankers , otp. , believe , on Iho contrary , that the failure ot ibo con ference means the deathblow of autonomy , while It U probable lhat a large force of Iniurgenla will break through the trochaa and raid the counlry up to Havana.

General Pando has long ibcen considered the only real fighter among the legion of Spanish officers the crown baa cent against tdc Cubans.

This Is the anni versary of the downfall of Lord North's ministry and tonight , marking the occasion , the Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution sat at their animal banquet in this city. The moat notable feature of the occasion was thp address of tljo president of the so ciety , Chauncey M. iDepow , who look oc casion to make reference to Spain and Its methods of colonial government. IMr. Depew's address was opened by refer ence to modern criticism o-f ancestral trees upon American soil , and with a defense of the honest pride which he felt should ho maintained by every American whoso an- cestoro for generations had net only escaped beliiR hung , or jalleJ , or membership In any poorhouse , but who had In their several periods done their part as self-supporting citizens for their neighborhood , their colony , their state and their country. He expressed his own gratification In the consciousness that four of his ancestors wcro soldiers In the army of the revolullon and expressed his commlsscratlon for those who had como too early to enjoy the possi bilities and the futureof New York when Ihe whole Island of Manhattan could have been bought for $24. Air. Depcw then said : In 1732 two boys were born who wore des tined toi Influence beyond any other men , of their period , nnd almost of any period the history of the world' and the happiness of the human race. Ono had all the advan tages that birth , ranJc , education and posi tion would give him in Great llrltaln nnd the other had Ihc same opportunities in the new world. One , by education , habit * of mind nnd association embodies thc\ spirit of the past ; the other the awakened spirit of the age. Tin * one ' .is Lord North , the other aeorso Washington. Lord North was a Hcllover In the nuto- rratlc authority of the middle n os. lie be lieved In the dlvlno right of kings nnd In the concentration of nil power In the throne. Ho never understood the people nor could he comprehend that they luul any rights In the administration of government. He wa a tory of the torlcs and a bourbon of thu bourbons. His ( great ability and high char acter only g-avo him larger place and op- portunlt'y ' ftfr the encroachment of his Ideas and the misleading' cf his king. BHKATHHS AIH OP PU13I3DOM. Wa ° hlngton .breathed the air of freedom In the fields and the forests of the now world. On ahe farm , nt the hu tlngs , In the legislature. In po'.ltlcs and In iwnr , ho min gled : with the people. He early learned their intelligence and capacity for self govern ment. The lesson of civil and religious lib erty was taught him by example nnd pre cept until , far beyond his years or his con temporaries , he knew the meaning of lib erty and law. In the ordering or the great events of the period of Lord North , the most hide-bound of conservatives became the mo t danger ous of revolutionist1 ? , while. Washington , the lender o-f 'the. revolution , became the embodi ment of conservatism. Lord Xorth , by enforcing the edicts of ar bitrary power , created a revolt which lost to the British crown 'thp greater part of Its colonial posfcsslons and inaugurated the era of political expansion and created the democracy which drove him from power and Ultimately elevated to the control of the destinies of his country the masses of his countrymen , whom he so distrusted nnd despised. Washington guided1 a rpvolt against au thority , ' government and law so wisely , so conservatively nnd with such fairness that upon- , the ruins , of the orovernmpnt which ho destroyed and of the laws which ho defied he built a rtipiib Ic with the rights of llfo , of liberty , of happiness and of property ? o imbedded in Its constitution that the Insti tution 08 the United States alone of all the nations of Christendom have survived the shock of the social and' ' political evolutions of the. nineteenth century. There was another young man , contem porary with Washington nnd Lord North , who had so thoroughly Imbibed the teach ings and the spirit of Chatham and Burke and Fox that he remained out of power dur ing th > > whole of the revolutionary war be cause he believed the Americans were rluht. His first net on coming into power on the fall of the ministry of Lord North was to recognize the Independence of. the United States nnd make the Jay treaty of alliance between the two countries that great treaty of peace and arbitration between these two English speaking peoples , the spirit of which grows stronger and more beneficent year by year , and never was so strong ns it is today. This statesman was the carl of Shclburne. SPAIN THE ONLY POWKU. One power alone In Kuropo sympathized with Lord North and Georgp III In their attack upon the rights of the American people. One power alone In Eurojfo held off till the last-untll long after Great Britain Itself had acted In the recognition of the independence of the United States. That power was Spain. It had nt that time the mast magnificent of colonial empires. We possessed nearly one-half nnd the most productive half of the continent of North America , the whole of the Isthmus of Darlon. the whole of South Ameilca and nearly all the Islands of the adjoining seas. It feared that the example of the American revolution would spread to Its own colonies. Had It learned the lesson of the Ameri can revolution It might still have been an Imperial power. That lesson of the Ameri can revolution In colonial empire was Homo rule and self-government for the psoplu of the colonies , and the working of their own destinies according to the conditions of the country In which they lived nnd the surroundings. This lesson cost Great Britain the fairest of Its possessions , but by adopting- the policy which It taught Its colonies now encircle the globe. Spain has persistently clung to the Ideas of Lord North , and worse than , that to the Iloman pro-consular system , which recog nized prosperous colonies only ns oppor tunities for the rapacity of Imperial rulers. The spirit of the age has broken Its power , has wrested from It lt marvelous posses sions nnd has reduced the empire of a quar ter of the plebe to a few fertile Islands In the Atlantic nnd the Pacific.

The organization under this bill In time of peace calls for eighty companies , two companies to a station , a major to each battalllon ; a lieutenant colonel and a colonel to each regiment. "There are now ten companies , according to law , In each regiment , two of which will bo skeletonized under the new plan , by which It la understood that the ofllccrs of 4ho two companies remain for duty and aie de tailed to specific duty. We cave 100 men at colleges and places of learning where military tactics are taught and wo nro en abled to use these ofllccrs under this bill In time of war. That company where all enlltted men are mustered out is called a skeleton company. Another good thing about the Hull bill Is that when a man de serts ho can never be restored and after ward draw a pension. Under the present system we have many deserters who have been restored , and nro drawing a pension from the government. " IllfiT Coiitrnrt for I'rnjrclllcN. PlTTSnUKQ , March 10. C. Y.
