Cheyenne, Wyo., March 3.-Prominent
citizens of Wyoming have gone TO
Washington to request the department
to re-establish Fort Custer which was
abandoned last fall. The Crow reser-
walton is only a few miles from Fort
Custer, and the Cheyenne reservation
is about so miles away. Both tribes are
liable to cause an uprising any time

is very essential In case of trouble
the citizens of northern Wyoming would
suffer worst. Senators Warren and

ence in the matter.

General Merritt's Trip and What
He Said About It.

Havana, via Key West, March "a
naval officer here today, in reply to
a suggestion that it was pity such
an important decision as the verdict of
the court of inquiry into the Maine ex-
plosion should rest solely upon the tes-
timony of the divers, who seemed men
of only average intelligence, replied:
THE court of inquiry has not had
to depend upon divers testimony
alone" Then, realizing that he had said
more than he intended. the officer re-
sumed his habitual reserve.
1t is believed that the testimony OF
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
was highly important as bearing on the
question of the existence of submarine
mines.
The government has employed an eX-
pert photographer now in Havana, who

Washington photographs of armor
plates and different portions of the

the water.
If the Spanish court of inquiry, under
Captain Peral, has a definite plan of
action, which seems doubtful, it has
not been made public. The Spanish div
ers will, of course, report the result of
their observations to the Spanish court
of inquiry, but when or where has not
been made known.

for saying that he will make the results
Of his observations known in a strong
speech in the senate on his return to
Washington. At Matanzas, Miss Bar
ton and Senator Proctor, under the
guidance of United States Consul Brice
and Mr. Govas, the British vice consul,
saw extremes OF suffering they had
never conceived possible. Four persons
died in one ward while the party were
there.
Senator Proctor was reticent on the
subject, out others of the party declared
that the whole east of the island was
under the control of General Maxine
Gomez. Senator Proctor, however, went
so far as to say 10 the correspondent of
the Associated Press:
Certainly a peculiar state of affairs
exists. A resident of MatanZas told me
that if / wished to correspond with
General Gomez. he would send my let

from General Gomez, who openly pro-
claimed his identity and mission.

MADRID AND WASHINGTON.

From the present outlook, Madrid
and Washington are the places where
the consequences of the Maine explo-
sion will be determined. Little more
than is already known can be learned
here.
The wreck prGmises to remain in the
harbor for an indefinite period. The
wrecking companies will be able to
raise the guns of the Maine. The hull
is an asset of no value TO any govern
ment.
The temper of the Spanish classes to-
ward the United States finds some ex-
hibition at present, but not in the form
of hostile demonstrations. 1t is rather
in the shape of fervent protests and
actions of loyalty to the mother coun-
try.
The arrival of the Warship Vizcaya
has caused an outpouring of the loyal
spirit, though it was not exactly spon-
taneous, for the demonstration was ar
ranged in advance. Apparently a large
portion of the populace are gratified to
see the Vizcaya anchored not far from
the wreck of the Maine. They believe
that with the other warships which are
to come. and with the torpedo fleet. Ha-
vana and the ports of Cuba are safe
from an American fleet.
