THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
Why He Is Not Convinced That Torpedo
Blew up the Maine.

Chicago. March la special to the
Record from Washington says:
The President never expresses an
opinion for publication. He talks
freely with those In whom he has con-
fidence. but 1t is always with the un-
dcrstanding that he shall not be quot
ed. 1t may be said generally that the
President still adheres to the accident
theory. and is waiting patiently with
the hope that II may be confirmed by
the board of inquiry. The chief rea-
sons for his belief. as explained by
Secretary Alger, are that "if the
Maine had been destroyed by the ex-
plosion of n mine:
Il. The vessel would have been
lifted with such violence as to have
thrown the persons who were stand
ing upon its deck from their feet. aud
would have produced such Il shock
that II could not have been forgotten,
whereas none of the survivors describe
any such movement or sensation.
"2. If there had been an explosion

duced the existing condition OF the
Maine, there would have been n tre-
mendous commotion in the water.

cry ship in the bay and washed over
Al
but men who We're sitting upon the
decks of vessels in the bay report no

plosion was in the fortress.
%. The explosion of n mine or Il
torpedo would have covered the sur
face of the water with dead fish.
whereas none whatever were observed.
II. If the Maine had been destroyed
by the explosion of mine or tor
pedo the water would have been
thrown into the air like n geyser and
the decks of the vessel would have
been delugcd, hut none of the surviy-
ors report such phenomenon
The President realizes that the situ-
alton is serious and calls for the exer-
else of the greatest wisdom and dis
cretion, but the published statements
concerning preparations for hostili-
ties and councils of war are false. lie

Had unrd Cnnl Aboard

Washington, Feb. 26.-The fact has
been made public that the bunkers of
the Maine were filed with Reading an
thraclte coal, which according to the
opinion of the experts in the navy de
partment discredits the theory of spon-
taneous combustion. This fact has not
been made known before. The Off
cials of the bureau of equipment and
supplies at the navy department in
searching for the facts discover that
Captain Sigsbee made a special request
for hard coal on the ground that 1t was
barely possible that he might have Il
brush with II Spanish man-of-war. and
that soft coal made such smoke that
his presence could be detected long be-
fore the enemy could become visible
even to his telescope. His request WAS
therefore granted, and contrary to GUS
tom the bunkers of the Maine Were
loaded with anthracite.

SPANISH ELECTION IMPENDING.
Success of the Conservative weyisrites
Would Likely Make War Probable.


Washington, March 1.-The State
Department received the following
dispatch from Minister Woodford at
Madrid:
decree dissolving Spanish Cortes
February 26 New Cortes VIII meet
April 26''
The dissolution of the Cortes had
been expected, and IT may be attend
ed with important results. The two
parties, Liberal and Conservative, VIII
now appeal to the country, and on the
result will depend the next ministry.
The Sagasta ministry now in power Is
Liberal. II was on the advent OF the
Sngasta regime that General Weyler
was recalled. the concentrate decrees
were annulled and the present plan OF
autonomy put In force. The policy
now being pursued by General Blnnco
in Cuba is nn entire reversal OF that
under the regime OF Canovas and his
successor. and II is felt that the contin-
uance of this policy is no less at stake
than tho ministry itself In the out
come of the present election.
All parties OF late have given loynl
aid to the Liberal ministry and Its
policy toward Cuba, and tie present
time is regarded by senor Du Bose,
the Spanish charge here. ns auspicious
for calm campaign. which. he as
serts, will continue the present au-
thorities In power. He says there IL
no Significance In the dissolution ut
this time.
In other quarters it Is felt that the
Conservatives may take this oppor-
tunity to regain the reins of govern
meEt by making campaign against
the Cuban policy of the Sagastn re-
glme. The Weyler element is anoth-
er growing element in Spanish affairs,
and 1t is expected that the Weylerites
either VIII cast their influence with
the Conservatives, who sent General
Weyler to Havana. or else make their
appearance as n distinct political or
ganization representative of the army
and navy and the martial spirit in
general. To considerable extent the
contest viii be between the war ele-
ment and the peace element, and, as
the Liberal programme thus far has
been most pacific in character, it is
anticipated that the Liberals will gain
the peace vote.

FEDERAL OFFICERS SHUT OUT.
Cannot File on PubIIc Lsnds In Advance
of Private Citizens.

Washington. March 2.-The United
States Supreme Court has decided that
n United States official could take no
advantage OF his office to secure ad-
vantage over others In the location of
government land. The opinion was
rendered by Justice White, and was
given in the case of Ransom Payne.
who wns deputy United States mar
shal In Oklahoma, and on the ground
when the lands of that territory were
thrown open for settlement. He took
advantage of this opportunity to To-
cate tract of land. The secretary Of
the interior refused to issue n patent.
on the ground that Mr.. Payne could
not with propriety take advantage of
his official position TO make location,
and that, therefore. his location was il
legally made.
"AIanifestly," said Justice White, in
deciding the case. Congress did not
intend that one authorized to enter
the territory In advance of the gener-
al public, solely for the purpose of per-
forming official duties should he at lib
erty Immediately upon his arrival to
assume the status of n private indlvid-
ual and actual settler and make selec-
ton of homestead. thus clearly Sc
curing an advantage over those who
remained outside of the territory until
the arrival of the time when they
might lawfully enter"
