PRESIDENT M'KINLEY PLEASED.
Congratulates the Cabinet Officers on the
Era of Quiet Now Prevailing.

Congratulates the Cabinet Ohicers on the
Era of Quiet Now Prevailing.
Washington, March 2.-President Nc
Kinley greeted his cabinet ministers
at the regular meeting with congratula-
tions on the era of quiet which seems
to have set in during the last twenty
four hours. The president believes the
public feeling over the Maine affair has
been greatly moderated in the last two
days and that gradually his course over
the Maine disaster is being sustained by
public opinion.
At the, state and navy departments
no information was given out, except
that which tended to refute a crop of
scare heads that sprung up during
the night One was the story sent from
Key West that Admiral Sicard had
been instructed to have his fleet ready
to sail for Havana. The secretary said
no such order had been issued. On this
point there is some surprise and con-
lecture, because the Montgomery, which
was ordered to be ready to replace the
Maine, has not been sent. She is still
in the neighborhood of Key West.
The records at the state department
show that the Spanish authorities at
Havana officially informed this govern
ment almost a year ago that they were
experimenting with explosives in the
harbor. No particular attention was
paid to the information at the time.
Shortly after Captain General Blanco
assumed command at Havana a press
dispatch from that city stated that a
loud explosion had occurred in the city,
causing great excitement and apprehen-
sion until the discovery was made that
1t was merely the accidental discharge
of torpedo in the harbor, which OFF,
cials were experimenting with from the
shore. The letter at the state depart
ment and the news dispatch from Ha-
vana effectually disprove the claim now
made that there never were any torpe-
does or mines in the harbor.

Some two or three weeks ago a Mrs.
