WASHINGTON. %. C.,aIarch II, Tho
President expects the report OF the
Maine court Of lnqnlry5 tomorrow or
mex, dlv. 1t may even now be on its
way from Key West to Washington.
when tho court arrived at Key West
yesterday from Havana and reported
to Admiral sicard what progress It had
made towards reaching the end of Its
long task, the admiral promptly COM
munlcated VITA the secretary OF the
navy. II was the secretary's purpose
to have full synopsls OF the courts
conclusions put In cipher and telegraph
cd to Washington. Upoa consultation
with the PRECEDENT, however, this plan
was Abandoned Both the President
sad the secretary are determined that
no efforts be spared to, maintain the
secrecy OF the courts verdict until they
themselves have determined to give It
publication. Therefore even the adj
mirably designed naval cipher code
could not be relied upon with complete.
satisfaction and e--ae Presidents In
stance. Admiral s!ca:d was directed to
place the documents in the custody OF
some rrVal officer, according to the
usual method, and forward them TO
Washington In that manner.
Whether this officer has started or
not Is not yet known but II he and Ad-l
.nlral Sicard have executed their orders
with the regular naval promptness, It
will not be long before the President Is
placed In possession Of such intorma-
ton and conclusions as the court has so
FAR reached. II Is not even known posi-
lively that these conclusions arc final,
but Il the ordinary routine OF the
courts inquiry has been followed In
this case they probably ore SO unless
the secretary OF the navy believes after
looking into the testimony that the Ia
ves,!SatIOn should be further pursued.
As before stated, every precaution
that Ingenuity can suggest win be
adopted to safeguard the report, the,
main apprehension being that there
may be somehow n publication in the
newspapers that may. interfere serious.
ly with the successful working outo OF.
the policy or the administration; The
documents Will he sealed at Key West.
under tho personal observation OF Ad-
mlral Siclrd, and the naval officer who
takes papers In his custody will be ex-
pected TO deliver the envelopes with
seal n2broken Into the hands OF the
secretary or the navy.
Probably the messenger will be
Lieutenant Commander Mark. the
Judge advocate or the court OF inquiry,
though the selection Is entirely within
the authority OF Admiral SIcard. It
must be remembered that the admiral
ordered the court and to him the re-
turn must be made Technically, he
must also review the proceedings and
conclusions and submit his own opinion
on the endorsement along with the
papers. As Admiral .Sicnrd is the very
incarnation of caution In the discharge
OF official matters and as he Is technic-
ally responsible for, the safe delivery OF
the courts report TO the secretary OF
the navy 1t may safelys be set down as
fact that a7F publication that at.
iempts 20 Sc: out either in full or in
substance the courts report will be ab-
sotuttly coniectural.

"Tha Battle Of Manila "

One of the great features of the
State Fair, and one which will attract
a large number of visitors to the fair
is the grand spectacular display of
fireworks and Pains Battle of Manila.
It is said that it will be the greatest
and most magnificent production of
phrotecbny ever seen in Columbia,
and everybody in the county should
see it. Dewey has fought the WON
-derful battle Of Manila, the success of
which startled the civilized nations of
the world and they acknowledged the
superiority Of American generalship,
gunnery and seamanship. You could
