THE SITUATION DISCUSSED.
Views OF Eminent Authorities Oh In
ternatioDaI Law.

New Haven, March 29.-Two strong in
terviews on the Cuban question were
given out today by Prof. Woolsey, of the
Yale Law School. high authority on in
ternational law. and Lieut.. Totem. for
mer military instructor at Yale Prof
Woolsey said:
"McKinley's message was like the re
port of the Board of Inquiry, a finding
or a statement of fact. The Board had
no conclusions to give-of course the
President had none. The country did nor
expect a war message from the President
advocating action on the Maine question,
as there was no evidence directly impli-
eating the Spanish government. The
question OF Intervention is another mat
ter. That will be dealt with later"
Lieut. Totten said: The strength OF
the Spanish position as 10 the Maine dis
aster is understood to reside in the mere
contention thai, as there were no dead
fish in the harbor of Havana the morn
ing after the loss of the Maine, there
could have been no external explosion.
THE fact that there were no dead fish
| shows me that the mine must have been
right unde~ the ship and found relief
through it. Had the mine been even two
feet out into the clear beyond the ship
| the Maine would have been saved and
Havana could have had plenty of dead
! fish for her starving thousands.

Denver, March 29.-Colorado is very
convincing in it's method of showing its
disapproval of the policy of President Nc
Kinley in dealing with the present crisis.
In Durango a mob gathered and burned
the President in effigy. The mob was not
otherwise particularly demonstrative. but
went about its work in a businesslike
way. When the figure representing Mr..
Mckinley had been reduced to ashes a
grim humorist. a member of the mob,
started a subscription to reimburse Spain
for the powder used in blowing up the
battleship Maine. This subscription
reached good figure in few minutes,
the crowd falling into the spirit of the
leader.
Colorado Springs has been the scene of
a big demonstration against fifty we'll

at-any-price'' petition. 1t is not probable
that another petition for peace will be
circulated there soon.
