JUDGMENT.
That is the Proper Course in the Maine
Case, Says John j. ingalls,.

ATLANTA. Ga, Feb. 25.-J.J j. Ingalls,,
of Kansas, is in Atlanta. and emphat-
ically expresses himself against the
present agitation for war, in view of
the fact hat international politics is in
so delicate Il condition hat to precipi-
tate hOstilities would. he thinks. place
the United States in an %equivOcal posi-
ton.
If it develops that the Maine disas-
ter was the work of a Spanish brigand,
and Spain disavows any responsibility
or connection with it, L do not see that
our friendly relations should be inter
rupted. On the other hand, if the
proper disavowal is not forthcoming,
we must expect hOstilities. l believe
We are on the brink of the most tre-
mendous explosion that has ever been
known in the worlds history
l am convinced that a struggle for
the REIMBURSEMENT of frontiers is not far
off. and. in view of this possibility, lido
not think it patriotic or wise to seek to
plunge the nation into war without due
deliberation and full provocation.'
Mr.. Ingalls, says judgment should be
suspended until an official report is
made by the court of inquiry.

The President at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 22-President
Mckinley ate an early breakfast with
the family of Charles C. Harrison. He
did not leave the house until a few min
utes before IL o'clock, when. in COM
pany with Mr.. Harrison, he was driven
to the Academy of music where the
Washington birthday commemorative
exercises of the University of Pennsyl-
vania were held.
Over 1000 students assembled on the
university campus at $3.50 a. m. and
marched, four abreast, to the Academy
of music. The route was arranged SO
that the procession should pass Mr..
Harrison's home, and the students gave
d cheering welcome to the president.
The chief magistrate, when the head
of the long column reached the
house, appeared at the door. There,
with barred head, he smilingly bowed
to the hundreds of under graduates in
response to their hearty college greet
ing. The cOlImn marched in classes,
and as each class reached the house it's
members shouted the college Of Penn
SyEVa-Nia," "Penn-Syl-Va-Nia," end
ing with "The President, The Pres
ident, THE President.
The presidents face lighted up, and
betOkened extreme pleasure.
The Academy of music, where the
ceremonies were held, was beautifully
decorated. After the university boys
had again given the varsity cheer,
winding up with the presidents name,
Provost c. c. Harrison stepped to the
front of the stage and introduced the
president in a brief address. He said:
Provost Harrison's Address.
The traditions which belong to the great seats
of learning are a priceless heritage. The mem
orr OF them becomes not only the fOrerunner of
hope, but the motive and handspring OF action.

HAVANA. Feb. 23.-The situation.
which may be changed at any moment
by fresh discoveries, may be summed
up when this dispatch is ent this after

divers having discovered cases of brown
hexagonal powder for the ten-inch
guns unexplodcd, and believing also
that others uneXploded will be found
in the 10-inch magazine on the star
board side forward. the conviction
rows that this magazine did not blow
up. If this be SO, and many have in
sisted from the hrst hat it is, the fur
ther conviction is forced that the ex-
plosion which wrecked the Maine came
from the outside on the port bow.
As previously wired, the main por-
ton of the wreck, as seen from above
and noted from below. was blown to
starboard. The highest American
officials mere are confident that Gen.
Blanco and the other high Spanish
officials had no knowledge. direct or

withmodern explosives than their elders
and superiorS, were at the bottom OF
the disaster, if there were any outside
agency.
1t is pointed out that it would not be
impossible tOplant a mine of wet and
dry gun cotton near where a foreign
vessel was directed to anchor. such a
mine communicating with an electric
battery on shore. 1t is regarded as an
interesting point that the Maine, for
the first time during her stay in the
harbor, lay at the particular spot
where she was at the time of the ca
tastrophe, and it is said, though not
officially verified, that the Maine was
the first foreign war vessel moored to
this particular buoy since the troubles
in Cuba grew acute.
All stories as to lax discipline on the
Maine are without a shadow of truth,
On the contrary, Capt. Sigsbee was
complained of by some for the rigldlty
of his rules and the strictness with
which he enforced them. Moreover,
the Maine has been in commission for
wears and never had a serious accident
until anchored in this quiet harbor.
