VIEWS OF CAPT. MAHAN.
People Should Be Cautious in Form
ing Hasty Conclusions.

PRINCETON, ~ j., Feb. 23.-Capt. AL
fred Mahan, United States navy was the
principal speaker at the Washington
birthday banquet of the New Jersey So
ciety of the Cincinnati last night Captain
Mahan said: 1--WE should be very cautious
in forming hasty conclusions In reference
to such things as the Maine disaster. Peo-
pie are liable to jump at conclusions at a
great national crisis like this which might
involve them seriously. There is one actual
good to the Nation from the Maine disas-
ter which has been little dwelt upon. I re-
fer to the discipline in the ship after the
accident occurred. The conduct of the cap
tain and officers at that juncture showed
the American people the character of the
discipline which prevails on all the ships
of the American navy, and 1 count this a
distinct gain.
''Ihe elements of danger to a modern
man-of-war, danger external and danger
internal, are not such as can be wholly
eliminated. In war this goes without say
ing. Ships Of war are meant for fighting,
and fighting means close relations with men
who are trying their best to hurt. Now, of
course, it is part of the business of all those
who have the designing of navieS and their
management, also in times of peace AND of
war. to provide against every method of at
tack and against sources of internal trouble
as far as human foresight and brains can
provide but there are risks which have to
be taken. For instance, accepting for the
sake of argument, one of the assumptions
already made by the newspapers that the
accident TO the Maine was an explosion of
q magazine caused by spontaneous combus-
ton in the coal bunkers or by some other
internal cause, We cannot deduce from that
that either coal or powder or high eXplos-
ives are not TO be carried. The only infer
ence in that, if any precautions whatever
remain to be taken, is that precaution must
be applied.
Consider, however, the number OF war
ships, analogous in character, If not in par
ticular detail 10 the Maine which are trav-
ersing the ocean and having on board coal
and powder year in and year out without
accident, and you will realize at once how
preposterous IT Is 10 assume that because
the effects of an explosion are fearful the
danger OF the explosion is great. Recur,
for instance. to the experience of passenger
steamers. How many yearly for the past
decade have crossed the ocean bearing their
thousands of human freight unframed.
Suddenly, in a moment, literally in mo-
ment the Eibe is struck by small freight
steamer. and, like the Maine, plunges to
the bottom. Do any of you propose TO
abandon going to Europe on that account?
/ assure you, speaking as a seaman and
as a naval officer, that / believe that no
man crosses the ocean In passenger
steamer without undertaking in a week

HANNA MISREPRESENTED.
He Sees No Reason for Excitement
over the Maine Incident.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Sensational re-
ports have been circulated that Senator
Hanna had expressed the belief that con-
hict between the United States and Spain
was imminent. The attention of the senator
was called to them. He emphatically de-
MED them, saying: II do not believe there
is anything in the Maine incident or in our
relations with Spain regarding Cuba that
will lead to war. l am firmly of the opn-
ion that the explosion of the Maine was due
to an accident and l think that the naval
court of inquiry will reach the same con-
clusion."
And Congress will do nothing?"
What is there for Congress TO do? There
is no information except a lot of sensational
stories. upon which to base all this talk of
war. Even the secretary of the navy has
no information, and as long the Presi-
dent and the secretary of the navy and all
the rest of the Cabinet keep cool and quiet,
there is no need for the rest of us to get
alarmed. No." said Senator Hanna, in con-
clusion, Il honestly and frankly do not see
any reason for the excitement that is being
created. There will be no war;

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2S.-The United
States cruiser Marblehead weighed anchor
at 1915 to-day and sailed for Key West,
where she will join Vhe North Atlantic
squadron at Dry Tortugas. The Marble
head took aboard here a small quantity of
coal. An immense crowd assembled on the
river front as the Marblehead pulled up
her mudhooks and steamed half mile up
the river before turning. AS the vessel
sped rapidly down the river past the
French and Austrian war ships, hundreds
waved handkerchefs in farewell, all the
vessels in the harbor footed their whistles,
cannon were fired from shore and the for
eign ships dipped their flags. The depar-
ture of the ship was without incident and
created no stir among officers and crew,
as it had been sem-officially announced
two days ago that the Marbehead would
leave to-day her only business here being
to do honor to the city at carnival time.
This disposes of the sensational dispatch
sent from here last night that the vessel
had orders to leave at a moments no.
