For five days longer the incompatible Centennial
Loan Exhibitions at tho Academy of Design and
the Metropolitan Museum will be open to the public
The interest they have inspired, and the success
which has attended the enterprise are unpre-
cedented in the history of American Art. On Satur
dav alone, 5000 tickets sold at the Academy,
and The attendance during these last precious days
will probably be still greater. The officers of the
Academy have wisely decided to keep the exhibition
omen, without intcrmissiOn, from a. IN. until 10
d. NJ in order to accommodate moro fully the great
throng of visitors. During the week the entire build
ing will be thrown open to the public, without extra
charge,-thus adding the fine Suydam Gallery in the
Library Rooms, the portrait gallery of artists IN tho
Lecture Room, and the gallery of sculpture IN the
Antique School to the other attractions of the EI-
hibiton. These opportunities will be welcome and
instructive, although scarcely needed as an induce
ment. The public seems thoroughly to appreciate
the rare excellence Of the Loan Collection.

The Spanish Premier declares that the Gov
eminent will retain Cuba at amy cost The
same answer was made when President Polk
offered 500, 100000 for the island, and has
been reiterated since the revolt began. Should
this campaign end in disaster the "cost" OF
supremacy hereafter may be too much even
for Spain.

We shall print again tomorrow morning,
especially for tine convenience OF voters III this
city, a ballot in favor of the constitutional
amendments, which can be cut out and voted.
If every reader of The TRIBUNE will do this,
a good deal will be accomplished toward the
adoption of the amendments. The vote on
amendments TO the Constitution is usually only
a fraction of the vote for candidates, but this
only makes il all the easier for a combination
of men whose interests are affected to defeat
them, and makes it all the more necessary for
all good citizens to rally to their support.

In France the amnesty movement is gaining
ground. Finding the Chamber of Deputies dis
posed to support NJ. Gatineau's bill restrain
ing further prosecutions, the Government has
discreetly accepted compromise measure
wherein the principal part OF the original pro-
posal is retained. This success will embolden
the Radicals to make further demands, since
the Government cannot reasonably retain Com
munists in prison while others just as guilty
are set free. The Senate may prove more or
less obstinate, but it cannot long resist the
Dopular desire for clemency. TIE Government
itself would give way more readily were it not

District Attorney Britton opened the

his face gave no token Of the working Of
his mind. His whole bearing was that

The BreMerhaven Explosion - !
Report of the Investigation.

BY American Press Association TO the STAR.
LONDON, Feb. "A report presenting
the results Of the investigation into the
Bremerhayen explosion, has been pub
lished by the Bremen authorities. Ac-
cording to HIS own deposition, the name
of the perpetrator was William KING
Thomson. He was born IN Brooklyn in
1880. His parents, who emigraed from
Hamburg to America, are now living IN
Virginia.
Thomson was taken prisoner when
running the blockade during the late
war in the United States. He escaped
and fed South, where he passed under
the name Of Thomas. He mentioned q
Midlers Skidmore, OF New York, as an
accomplice, but made no reference to
other accomplices. His wife sup
posed his name was Alexander.
He had tattooed his arm. There is no
evidence that he entered into relations
with Underwriters or plotted against
the safety OF vessels previous to 1915.
Nor is there any evidence, except an in
surance of three thousand marks on the
barrel which exploded, that he in-
sured any goods to be shipped by
the Mosel or Deutschland. Observa-
tions made by Thomson point to the
conclusion that he intended to hand
| the small box to the officer of the Nose
| declaring it contained greenbacks, and
that he intended to nave the box III,
sured. In June, 1915, Thomson insured
goods on the steamer Rhein for 9000t
through the Barings OF London. His
wife's evidence shows that previous to
his departure in November, 1915, Tnom'
