THINKS IT WAS INTERNAL.
Tug Boat Captain. Just From ha-

the Maine Disaster.

WASHINGTON, March ga special to
the Post from Newport News says;
The Merritt wrecking tug Underwater
arrived in port AZ midnight last night from
Havana, where she went with the Derrick
Chief which is assisting in the work on
the Maine. Capt. Wiley will again start
TO Havana. probably tomorrow night. with
the barge Lone Star. which is very much
needed by the wreckers. Capt. Wiley be-
leves that the Maine was destroyed
through the agency of an internal explo-
sion.
In an interview aboard the Underwater
this afternoon Capt. Wiley said:
You ask me- what | know about the
cause of the disaster. | reply that /

WASHINGTON, March eo.--Whether
the report of the naval board of inquiry
on the Maine disaster goss 10 congress
this week, with special message from
the president calling for congressional
action. the relations with Spain and the
proximity of war, viewed from the
standpoint of the emergency preparations
now going on 10 place the country in a
state OF defense probably will be de-
bated in the house, in connection with
the naval appropriation bill. the consider
alton of which VIII begin on Tuesday.
The many emergency items in the bill,
the large increase of the enlisted force.

pedo boats and drydocks. viii bring the
whole subject of the necessity for these
preparations directly before the house.
While the leaders doubtless VII seek 10
prevent infiammatory expressions. under
the recent ruling of the speaker. which
practically places no limit upon the lati-
tude of debate in committee of the whole
on the eeate of the Uoion. the leaders,
except by their example. probably will
be unable TO repress sensational speeches.
An effort is nkely upon the part of some
of the radicals to force from those in the
confidence Of the administration A decar-
alton of the policy of the administration
regarding Cuba. They will hope to do
this by taunting them with some of the
rufnors which have been floating about
in the newspapers during the past few
days. Ii IS altogether likely that there
will be a general expression of the senti-
ment of the house on this question be-
fore the bill is passed
Should the president transmit the re-
port Of the board OF inquiry with re-
quest for congressional action during the
week, everything else viii give way 10 it.
Any action that might be decided upon
would be in the complete control of the
Republican leaders as to the limit to be
put upon debate. IL the report OF the
board does not go to congress this week.
the naval bill will probably consume all
the time after tomorrow. But if il should
not be presented before Saturday, which
seems unlikely, the b.ll for the reorganiza-
tion OF the army and authorization for
recruiting 1t 10 footing aggregating
10000 in time of war viii be taken up.
Tomorrow the bill for the relief OF the
victims of the Maine will he called up im-
mediately after the reading Of the journal.

II is not expected TO consume much time.

for several patriotic speeches in eulogy
Of the heroism OF the sailors who went
down 10 their tragic death The rest Of
the day will be occupied in the considera-
tion of private bills in pursuance of the
order made last Friday.
Altogether it promises to be ar exceed
ngly eventful. if not sensational week in
the house.
