MORGAN WANTS TO KNOW.

Alabama Senator Will Soon Ask to Have
Cuban Reports Made Public.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Morgan said that it was his purpose to
introduce resolution at an early date
making second call upon the president
for the consular correspondence bearing
upon the condition of affairs in Cuba.
81 think" he said, ''that the senate
and the country are entitled to know
officially what the condition there is,
and that the reports of the consuls
should not be withheld for an unusual
length of time. do not, however,
wish to complicate this matter with
the Maine disaster, and shall not intro
duce the resolution while the court of
inquiry is sitting, unless its report is
unnecessarily delayed. I have set no
time for the presentation of the matter,
but will be guided as to the time by
circumstances as they arise"
He said, in reply to question, that
the resolution proposed by him would
be couched in terms demanding the
submission Of the correspondence.

COURT DOES ) NOT KNOW
Asked by Secretary Long When
the Maine Investigation Is
to Be Concluded.
Not Possible at the Present
Time to Fix Even an APP
proximate Date.
Everything Depends Upon the
Progress of the Divers
Now at Work.

WASHINGTON, March s. 1T was de.
veloped during the afternoon, through
Geographic correspondence between
Secretary Long and Admiral Sicard,
that the court Of inquiry is unable to
fix even an approximate date of the
conclusion Of its investigation into the
disaster to the Maine.
Sharing the general anxiety for some
Information on this point Secretary
Long, at the instance of the cabinet,
sent telegram to Admiral Sicard
asking him when it was probaDl that
the report of the court would be made.
Late at night the following reply was
received:
Have talked with the president of the
court of inquiry and agree with him that
it is not yet possible to FIX date for the
finding az 60 much depends upon the
progress Of the divers and wreckers and
the results they obtain. Every effort is
being made to advance the inquiry. The
court returns to Havana this evening,
having about finished the investigation at
Key West.
@SOeU NAOE0 NOUCAu"avO sDAVE&AosA~~s
Admiral Sicard's message isregarded
officially as disposing Of the reports
that the court has as yet obtained posi-
tive or conclusive information bearing
upon the object Of their investigation.
It is taken to mean that upon the testi'
mony or discoveries of the divers will
depend the finding, the examination of
the officers and crew Of the ship hav.
ing been insufficient to enable the
court to even form an idea as to what
lines may be opened up from the in
vestigation of the wreck itself.
While the telegram was naturally
somewhat Of disappointment in leav.
ing the termination of the inquiry as
much in doubt as ever, it was vel.
coined as practically setting at rest the
reports as to the results Of the investl.
cation up to date.
1t is stated that the board in all prob
ability will not return to Key West,
the department having intimated that
it was its desire that the examination
of the officers and men should be con.
cluded at thiss sitting, as they are
needed for reassignment to ships.

Maine Court OF Inquiry After
Further Testimony OF the
Divers There.
Evidence Of Survivors Said to
Have Been of but Little
Importance.
Expect to End Their Labors
at the Cuban Capital In
Ten Days.

KEY WEST, March 5.-After two
postponements of its departure the
court of inquiry left for Havana during
the evening on the lighthouse tender
Mangrave. It Is believed by the best
informed. here that the court will com.
plete its labors in ths Cuban capital
within 10 days. Only three of the six
days the court was here were devoted
to the work Of investigation. The in.
activity Of the past two days is still un'
explained, except by semi'official
statement that Rear Admiral sicard
was awaiting Instructions from Wash.
ington. The session, it is generally
understood. developed no evidence by
which the court could definitely deter.
mine the cause of the explosion.
Evidence Of Little Valne.
A naval officer in close touch with
the members of the court said: "W.th
one exception the witnesses who testi.
fed were Maine survivors. The evi.
dence, though in most cases taking
longer to tell, can be summed mp in the
words of an enlisted man who, when
Judge Advocate Mark asked him what
he knew about the explosion, replied:
Sir, was blowed up; I was saved and
I'm here That was all he could
swear to-" One important fact has been
learned, however. Although the mem.
bers of the court have their individual
theories, they are by no means pre-"
pared as q body to render decisive
vote. The officer already quoted said:
If the court has yet heard any testi.
mony which would enable it to decide
intelligently that the Maine was blown
up from external causes, am the most
mistaken man in the world.
Divers' Testimony Needed.
Before the coming Havana session
is over it may secure such evidence and
possibly find the blowing up was inten'
tional. 1t will learn II II the divers the
condition Of the ship alter the explosion
as it has already learned from the sur
vivors most of the details Of the ships
condition before the explosion. With
these facts thoroughly established the
court will hear more expert theoretical
testimony and then reach verdict"
This statement can be taken as more
worthy Of reliance than that of the
Maine officer who said the other day he
believed the court was bound on evi.
dence already heard to find the cause
Of the explosion external.

An exchange, speaking of the
serious accident suffered by the
Prince of Wales recently, says:
"The staircase on which the
Prince met with his mishap is one
of two sweeping circular stair
cases, one at each end. The Wad.
desdon stairs are carpeted with
thick, deep red felt. 1t appears
that the Prince was looking at the
charming view out of the windows
as he descended, and 80 missed
his footing. The staircases are
modelled on those of the Chateau
of Chenonceaux, and are consid,
cred the most beautiful examples
of architecture of the kind in Eng.
land" Thus it is the contempla-
ton of the artistic and the magni-
fcent that sometimes causes the
downfall of the mighty of this
earth.

THE DIPLOMATIC WAR GAME.

AS the National Review, of
London, is supposed to be able to
speak from the British diplomatic
card, its statement of how the
European powers sought to en-
barass the United States in the
present war, is particularly inter-
esting.
As soon as the American policy
was assured the continental pow
ers evolved the scheme of making
a second Crete of the Cuban ques
ton. France jumped in because
her people had large holdings in
Spanish bonds. Russia followed
without much urging, having in
view an increase.in the ill will be
tween the United States and Great
Britain which would leave the
Russian to carry out his Oriental
schemes with free hand. Aus
tria was a willing party to the
plan, its desire being to protect
an Austrian princess, the Queen
Regent of Spain. This was the
first combination.
Italy, when approached, wisely
held aloof. Germany is said to
have jumped at the proposition,
hoping to embroil two great re-
publics, France and the United
States, and pay off a debt to the
American republic which has
drawn 80 many good men from
allegiance to the Emperor and
done not a little to propagate re
publican ideas throughout his
Empire.
British acceptance of this plot
was banked on because of sup
posed desire for revenge on &C
count of the bluff methods used
by President Cleveland in the
Venezuelan affair. But the plot
fell fiat. Officials in the British
foreign Office we're not only quick
to see the niger in the continen-
tai wood pile, but also saw that
having the balance of power, OPP
portunity was offered to gain
diplomatic and popular friend
ship Of the English speaking ma
ton with which they had been at
odds for years. Great Britain
had the fortune of holding a
trump card and having the last
play in the diplomatic game and
her leaders made the best of it.
British papers unite in saying
that the United States should be
grateful. There can be no ques-
ton that the United States is
grateful, and it is only hoped that
this new found friendship will not
become so intimate as to make
good the old saying that the worst
rows are those between former in
innate friends.
