Commander Mark. Judge.Advocate of tho
Maine Court of Inquiry, who passed through

Washington denied In the strongest manner
the reputed interview sent out by the Asso.
ciated Press this afternoon from Miami. In
this interview tho correspondent is represented
as saying:
at looks like war;" and his reply as:
1T surely does"
This interview was read to him. The Lieu.
tenant smiled, and then stated emphaticaly:
sit is not true. have not had any inter
view, and did not express any such opinion.
Later another officer remarked:
Mark would have been fool to have said
It, and know he didn't, as he is q man of dis.
cretion."
All the officers with the report were very
Feticent. and had little to say. Lieut.. Hood
was asked II tho naval officers at Key West
considered tho situation critical. and he smiled
as he answered:
81 cannot answer for them. can only speak
for myself"
When asked for his opinion he said that no
had none. In the party besides Lieutenant
Commander Mark and Lieut.. Hood :were
Lieut.. Jungen, Passed Assistant Engineer +. @.
Bowers Naval Cadet Bronson, and George
Helms, carpenter, all belonging to the lAte
Maine. In regard to the Maine Lieut.. Hood
thought that she could not be raised.
''she is too thoroughly broken.up." said he,
"and the parts Of hor hull are too deeply en-
bedded in Havana mud TO ever get them out
again They have saved an immense amount
of stun. The Maine will have a watery grave"
The crowd in the railroad station rushed up
TO the windows as the party seated themselves
and asked all sorts Of questions about the re-
port, and some ono shouted;
Garry tho news to Mckinley, and he'll do
the rest."
