LONDON, March 29.-The Madrid cor.

am able to state that the following is
the real course of the negotiate ons:
During the past week, on Wednesday,
United States Minister Woodford had
an official interview with the ministers
of foreign affairs and the colonies, Sem
ors Gullon and Moret, at the private
residence of the former. It lasted two
hours. General Wocdford left them
with an official note explaining fully
the views and intentions of the Ameri-
can government. In this document no
commentatory intimation was made
nor any date fixed, but it was clearly
and firmly stated that the United
States government
O. Could Not Longer Withhold
from congress the correspondence and
consular reports which not only put in
full light the conditio n of the distressed
rural population of Cuba, the made
quate relief and the" persistence of dis
affection, but also showed that the new
colonial policy and other efforts of
Spain had not produced the results that
would justify holding out the prospect
of early pacitication.
consequently the American note
lays stress upon the fact that contin.
gencies are now fast approaching for
the action which was foreshadowed in
presidential messages and diplomatic
correspondence so frequently and
clearly during the last three years.

STILL HOPING FOR PEACE


Progress Reported in Negotiations With
the Spaniar,ls.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The de-
velopments of 1.-The day in the Cuban
situation indicate steady. progress in
the negotiations between the govern.
ment and that of Spain looking to the
maintenance of peace for, the present
at least. There is good authority for
saying that Spain's present wish is to
secure cession of hostilities in Cuba
rather than to engage in war with
! the United States, and that it is more
than probable that the negotiations be-.
tween the government OF the United
States and the Sagasta ministry will
; take that turn in the immediate fu-
ture. The present Spanish ministry
has protested a pacific disposition from
the beginning, and the indications are
!. strong now that it will avail itself of
the good Offices of the United States to
the fullest extent that public opinion
in Spain will allow in bringing to an
end the hostilities in Cuba. -.
Must Re satisfac, DRY to CubansL
It can be stated upon high authority
that there has been no abatement of
the presidents intention to see that the
war is terminated, when it is closed,
upon terms that will render the Cubans
practically free people. It is not be.
lieved that they would accept any thing
less. nor that Americans would be sat
isfied if we should encourage settle
ment. that would not be acceptable to
the Cubans. If there should now be
an armistice it would be with the con-
cession made by Spain at the instance
Of this country that negotiations
should be opened Immediately with the
insurgents looking to the estab lishment
OF permanent peace upon these
terms. &
The friends of the admins .ration
feel that the situation is very delicate
one and that much will depend upon
the. course congress may pursue. In
the meantime the president will on
Wednesday send his message asking
that an appropriate be made for the
aid Of the destitute Cubans

two sleepers on the rails, and knowing
that the train was due in few sec

use AZ u signal torch. The story was not
believed. and 1t is the theory Of the railroad
officials that the sleepers were placed on the
track by Halter, who hoped by stopping

was arrested AMI arraigned on tho charge
Of placing distractions on the tracks OF q

That children have peculiar ideas OF
beauty was shown during one of Miss
Isabel Rhys's recent lectures at the
College of Preceptols. in Manchester,
England. On one occasion, she said,
she gave her class of young children
five minutes to think of the most
beautiful thing they had ever seen,
and the following original and rather
surprising answers were given:
"A startish and SPONGE" "Pink
silk, ""A monkey at the Zoo, "a toy
house with man trying to get III
and his wife keeping him ont because
he was drunk" Other favorites were
the sun, snow, the rain, IL butterfly,
gold brooches, n ship with sails, stars
and 'house with snow dropping of
it," Miss Rlys gave her pupils q
whole evening to reconsider their
aesthetic opinions, but the result was
no better, she said. The boy who
thought the ship with sails the love.
liest object he had ever seen decided
in favor of Il steamer with lots OF
smoke, and the little girl who liked to
see snow drop from the roof of house
added narrow street and little post
office to her picture. In only one
case, that OF Il little boy, was the
second decision an improvement on
the first. Instead Of steam-en9ine
running alone in the sunshine he
substituted a country scene having Il
stream with golden bracken and the
sun shining upon it.
The little ones, Miss Rhys said,
were the children OF wellto-do parents.
and had lived among the beautiful the
greater part of their lives. Not one
of their number had ever been i'm
pressed by beautiful face.

had been carefully inspected before receiv,
ing 1t on board. The bunker in which it
was slowed was accessible on three sides
at all times, and the fourth side ut this time
on account Of bunkers "B 4" and "B q" be-
ing empty. This bunker, "A 16" had been
inspected that day by the engineer officer
on duty.
The lire alarms in the bunkers we're in
working order and there had never been Il
case Of spontaneous combustion of coal on
board the Maine.
The two after boilers OF the ship were in
use ut the time of the disaster, but for
auxiliary purposes only, with Il compare
lively low pressure OF steam and being
telded by Il reliable watch, these boilers
could not have caused the explosion OF the
ship. The four forward boilers have since
been found by the divers aud are in n fair
condition.
On the night OF the destruction OF the
Maine everything had been reported secure
for the night at p. m. by reliable persons
through the proper authorities to the COM
manding officer. At the time the Maine
was dest royed the ship was quiet. and.
therefore, least liable to accident caused
by movements from those On boarl.
Explosions.
g. The destruction or the Maine occurred
ut $40 p. M. on February 10, 1898, in the
harbor of Havana, Cuba, she being mt the
time moored to tho same buoy to which
she had been taken upon her arrival. There
were two explosions of distinctly differ
Ont character, with very short but distant
interval between them, and the forward
part Of the ship was lifted to a marked de-
gree at the time OF the first explosion.
The first explosion was more in the nature
Of q report like that Of u gun, while the
second explosion was more open, prolonged
and OF greater volume. The second cX-
plosion was, in the opinion Of the Court,
caused by tho partial explosion OF two or
more Of the forward magazines OF the
Maine.
Condition of the Wreck.
4. The evidence bearing upon this being
principally obtained from divers did not
enable the Court to form definite conclu-
sion as to the condition of the wreck, al
though 1t was established that the after
part OF the shi p was practically intact and
sank in that condition n very few minutes
after the destruction OF the forward part.
The following facts in regard to the for
ward part of the ship are, however, estab-
lished by the testimony:
That portion OF the port side Of the pro-
tective deck whic. extends from about
IRAN, 80 to about frame Al was blown up
ait aud over to port. The main deck from
about frame 80 to about frame A was
blown up aft and slightly over to stnrboard,
folding the forward part OF the middle su-
perstructura over and on top OF the after
part.
This was, IN the opinion of tho Court,
| caused by the partial explosion OF the for.
