sIGBEE's OPINION.

New YORK, March sr According to
the Washington correspondent Of
the New York Tribune naval officers
who have talked with Captain Sigsbee
since his arrival are more firmly con-
vinced than ever that war will inevitably
come out OF the Cuban situation. As
soon as the commander OF the Maine
reported at the navy department he lost
no time in explaining to Captain Crown
iushield the iDtolerable attitude OF Span
ish sympathizers in Havana harbor and
city toward Americans and particularly
their animosity to American naval off.
GERS now at work on the wreck OF the
Maine. He said trouble could not be
averted much longer and when a COLI
sion did occur, in his opinion the local
authorities would be powerless to pro-
tect the small American colony afloat or
on shore. All day and well into the
night insults to the dead as we'll as to
the living and taunting threats are
shouted to those upon the vessels around
the Names wreck, numerous boats
going to aud fro in the harbor and dem.
onstrations have been increasing for the
last ten days, especially since the Mont
gomery came away, until an overt
act was liable to occur at any moment.

SECRECY PREVAILS.

Washington, March SO.-The greatest
secrecy prevails in many OF the bureaus
OF the war and navy departments in re-
gard to the various projects OF defense
and naval movements now going on, and
officials in many cases positively refuse
to make public the steps that have been
determined upon, The most noticeable
instance OF the kind, probably, is in the
navy department, where Captain Crown
ingshield, of the bureau of navigation,
has issued an order forbidding the subor-
dinates to make public any information
except on permission from himself,

Much Credit Due 10 President Knox FOR His
Skillful Management.
The program of the athletic carnival
in the Gym" Tuesday night was some
what lengthy but the action was all so
lively and entertaining that the interest

one considering the weather, was sus-
tanned throughout. The music con.
sisted of two excellent selections by the
orchestra and three entertaining num-
bers by the quartet, Messrs. Stevens,
Bruske, Mills and Mcdonald The
dumb-bell drill and apparatus work was a
great delight TO the audience, as those
who had part in these showed that they
must have had long and careful training
i'll order to acquire so much skill.
The two boxing matches, Crane VS..
Magaw and Prof. Rice VS.. DR.. Purmort,
were intensely interesting. The judges
was the winner. In both contests the
opposing combatants appeared to be
evenly matched.
In the class hand ball contests, '9S
won from 80 and '0l from 90. Owing
TO the lateness of the hour the game be.
tween these winners for the college
championship was omitted.
