an almost absolute certainty"
Chaplain Chidwick OF the Maine has
recovered. considerable sums OK money,
With letters and other personal proper
", from tina bodies taken from the
wreck. In one case the initials can be
seen on the coat lining and may serve
to identify the body OF the wearer, but
the harbor water Is so filthy that the

Chadwick Is one Of the hardest worked
officers, and upon him devolve some of
the most repulslve duties of the situa-
ton. Father Power Of the Jesuits ar
rived Saturday from Tampa and inn

Because Of the Maine disaster, which
has so exclusively occupied public at
tention during the last few days, no
thought has been given TO the rebels,
but reports just received from the field
show that their movements must be
taken into account in studying the solu-
tion Of this prolonged war
General Gomez IS coming west. For
months he has lain inactive in the
mountains. His forces have now reached
Placetas, near Santa Clara, and led by
his own STAFF officers, have fought two

week
Senior Jose Congosto, the secretary
general. Is said to have asserted in
private interview that the government
expected to be able to buy up several
members Of the New York junta" It is
generally believed. however, that the
statement was made in order to quiet
40 m H.
tary failures Of General Blanco and
General Pando in the east.
Some friction, It is reported, has oc-
cured between Consul General Lee and
the other United States consuls in the
island over the distribution Of food and
supplies sent from the United States for
the reconoentrados. The complaint is
made that, though food and money
have been coming for several weeks.
nothing has been distributed outside
Havana province. Consul Barker OF
Sagua la Grande and Consul Brice Of
Matanzas, who came here to learn the
particulars Of the Maine explosion, left,
IL Is said, without calling on the consul
general. The reason given was that
they felt they had not been treated fair
ly by the consul general. Each expect
ed aid for his district from the Ameri-
can supplies, but received none. The
statement Is made that It is their inten-
ton to appeal directly to the American
state department and to ask that food
be consigned to them instead Of to the
Havana consulate.
Consul General Lee, when those mat
ters We're brought TO his attention, re-
piled that there Was not the slightest
intention to neglect the reconcentrados
In the eastern provinces, but he pointed
out that Havana, being the largest city,
was consequently more in need of sue
cor. He asserted that he had written
/ the consuls that everything possible
would be done for sufferers in their To-
/ calities as soon as supplies are avail
able. but the relief thus far has been
nowhere near commensurate with the
necessity. He has deputed much of the
work of distribution to Miss Clara Bar
ton. who has the confidence of all par
ties and who is almost constantly at
work In conjunction with the special
agent OF the consul general

over his telegraphic and mail corre-

Importance beyond the dispatches above
given. The secretary referred with sat-
isfaction TO the dispatch stating that
the court Of inquiry would assemble at

court TO meet first at Key West and
after doing such work as was possible
there TO proceed 10 Havana But Mr..
Long thought II was desirable to have

When Mr.. Longs attention was called

cognizance OF Captain Sobrars criti-
cisms OF the American navy. the secre.
tary said that he had called the subject
20 the attention Of the state department
with view to having an inquiry made
by that branch. The particular ex.
preston TO which the secretary had az.
reoted the attention of the state DEPART
ment was the following. attributed I,
Captain Sobral:
IT was the result OF an explosion IN
side OF the ship which took place i'm on,
OF the forward magazines. The fact %
the matter is that tie discipline and IN
watch observed on the ship were ver-
lax. This, as one English newspape
the other day declared. is the case ol
American warships generally. This sor
OF thing has occurred on previous oc
casions on American war vessels"

WASHINGTON, Feb 21.-The naval
court Of inquiry appointed to investigate
the Maine disaster has begun its work
ut Havana This news came to the navy
department from Admiral sicard at Key
West. He simply telegraphed as fol-
lows:
THE court Of inquiry sail for Havana
by lighthouse steamer Mangrove Mark

This prompt action is undoubtedly due
TO the express direction from Secretary
Long TO have the Investigation begun
at the earliest possible moment. BY an
error incident to the haste with which
the orders were got out the first ac-
counts placed Lieutenant Commander
Seaton Schroeder on the board as the
third member, while as a matter Of fact
Lieutenant Commander Potter, the eX-
ecutive officer of the flagship New York,
holds that place The board undoubted-

the court.
