REASON OF FAILURE.
Our Fleet at Key West An Obstacle to
Peace NEGOTIATIONS.

Washington, April 5.-The statement
was made today by a public man IN
close touch with the administration
that the effort TO secure a settlement
of the war between Spain and the in
surgents through an armistice has
come to definite conclusion, and that
the failure was due to the refusal of the
government Of the United States to re-
move its fleet from Key West. Accord
ing to this statement, Spain made its
removal a condition precedent to her
offering an armistice, with the end in
view of granting the independence Of
Cuba, and this proposition was met
with refusal, though not until after it
had been seriously considered.
The congressional opponents of a war
policy who had counted upon the ac-
ceptance of this condition by the United
States, admit that the outlook for peace
has grown almost hopeless since this
determination.

believer in the prerogative of the presi-
dent to recognize independence, and he,
with others, will contend that congress
cannot with propriety interfere in the
matter

the bulletin from Victoria, 8. c. Mr..
Baldwin said:
While I scarcely believe the report
to be true. il seems too good To be true,
yet l realize that it is not impossible
that Andrea may have arrived in Alas
ka, for to accomplish that feat was his
most ardent wish. That he could have
done so by this time, provided his bal
loon carried him far enough eastward,
say TO some point on the sea ice in
North Alaska. is proven by the safe ar
rival of captain of one of the whaling
vessels from the north coast Of Alaska,
after a six months journey southwark.
Andree may have arrived at some point
in the TchOOche peninsula, off north
eastern Siberia. last autumn. as Baron
NoTdenslSisld believed he would. and as
Andree himself thought he might. and
thence made his way across Boring
straits to Alaska.

Cur Naval Growth.

There is not a single American to-
day that does not feel proud of our
navy, but it can hardly be realized
that what it is has been accomplished
in the short space of fifteen years.
Mr.. Boutellc, of Maine, in speak
ing on the proposed appropriation of
56,l2O,783, for further augmcnting
OF the navy, presented some very
interesting facts as to it's growth.
The people will not hereafter object
to any reasonable appropriation for
this branch of the government, for
recent events prove that we must
have more vessels to uphold our in
,,storeatt IL anv quarter Of the globe.
Among the facts alluded to are the
following showing the naval growth
in fifteen years, of which we have no
reason to feel ashamed. In that
period the total appropriation for
the naval service of the United
States, that is, for the regular ex~
penses of the service and the con-
struction of ships and ordnance, has
amounted to 1887 ,987 $40, including
the present bill.
"During that time we have in
creased the authorization Of vessels
Of the new navy, including those in
the present bill, by 259,014 tons.
"The appropriations for the increase
of our navy during that period, in
Guiding the present bill, have been
$i51,117507.
"Thc increase of the naval force
of enlisted men during the fifteen
years has been $500 men.
"Whcn we come to the increase
of the armament of the navy in
fifteen years, starting from condi-
tion where we had not single
modern guL alloat, we have put
anoat and authorized, including the
provisions of this present bill, apavy
capable of throwing at every full
discharge of its guns l22,2G0 pounds
Of metal.
"The number of ships show q
similar proportion. We have built
in fifteen years. time la vessels of
all classes.
"Of torpedo boats and dcstroycrs
there have been sixty-thrcc author
