NAVAL BOARDS REPORT.
VIII be Referred TO Committee
When Tt Reaches the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-It is
practically settled that when the re-
port Of the Maine disaster reaches the
Senate it will be referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, which
claims jurisdiction because of the
international character of the ques-
tions involved. Senator Hale, Chair
man of the Naval Committee, said
that he die not expect to make any OBJ
lection to the report going to the For
eign Relations Committee.
The hope is expressed by all the more
conservative Senators that the Presi-
dents message and the accompanying
papers Will be allowed to go to COM
mittee without debate or comment
whatever in the Senate. A large major
ity of the Senators have tacitly agreed
that this should be the course, but
there We're few from whom no prom
Use has been secured, and there is
some apprehension that some of these
may make objections to immediate ref
erence or may offer resolutions provid-
ing for direct Intervention. There is
however, persistent effort to prevent
such act, and the indications are now
that this effort may succeed.

was built for Germany Lieutenant
Knapp leaves for Schichau tonight.
The crew will be supplied from the San
Francisco.
The torpedo boat is Of about 100 tons,
and of the frst-class German type,
with single propeller. Germany per-
mitted the sale, as the boat is one knot
slower than wanted in the German
navy. She is larger than the Cushing,
and appro&imates closely the Ericsson.
The boat is doing her sea trials to-day,
and will sail as soon as she is ready.

SUBMARINE BOAT HoLLl ND.
Given Another Trial, Which Was
in Every Way Successful.

NEW YORK, March 26-The sub
marine boat Holland was given an
other trial to-day. She left her pier at
the Rarian dry docks here shortly af-
ter noon, and, accompanied by the tug
Saliie P. Linderman, proceeded toward
Tottenville. Mr.. Holland was in charge
of the new craft. After running a
short time on the surface the vessel
was submerged, bow first, until all
that was above the surface was the
f1agpoles. The vessel came uD bow
first showing that she had been turned
under water. and was perfectly under
the control of the inventor. This per-
formance was repeated several times.
1t was only by the aid of the f1agpoles
that the officials of the Holland Com

the other officers of the Maine The
flowers were from Consul-General Lee

Captain was much affected.
All is quiet here. Neither the infor-

the war rumors have been able to pro-
duce any sentiment among the volun-
teers or other Spanish soldiers. They
take everything coolly, awaiting devel-

Will be interrupted by the report of the
American court and they seem to feel
certain that arbitrators will declare
that the explosion occurred inside, and
