MADRID. Jan. 26.-The newspapers
generally comment upon Secretary
Longs explanation of the visit of the
United States battleship Maine to Ha-
vana and agree in expressing the opin-
ion that her visit is "inopportune and
calculated to encourage the insur-
gents"
It is announced that, following
Washington's example" the Spanish
government will instruct Spanish war
ships to visit a few American ports"
Admiral Chacon, the admiral of the
fleet. arrived here and had a long con-
ference with Admiral Bermejo. the min
lister of marine. He asserted that the
recent evolutions had demonstrated the
perfect condition of the fleet. The next
cabinet council will decide which Amer
lean ports the Spanish men-Of-war are
to visit.
The impartial expresses fear that the
dispatch OF the United States battle
ship Maine to Havana will provoke a
conflict, and adds Europe cannot
doubt Americas attitude toward Spain,
but the Spanish people. If necessary,
win do their duty with honor"
In official circles the tendency is to
accept the argument that the United
States is friendly and that It is needless
TO attach Importance to the visit of an
American vessel TO Havana.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Under the
parliamentary fiction of discussing the
Indian appropriation bill, the house de-
voted almost the entire day to q polit-
ical debate. in which the main question
was whether prosperity had come to
the country as a result Of the advent Of
the present administration. AS the
speeches were limited to five minutes
each, many members participated and
partisan spirit kept the interest keyed
up to a high pitch.
The acrimony which usually charac-
terizes such debates was almost entire
ly absent, but, although good natured,
some hard knocks were given and re-
ceived. Mr. Smith. the delegate from
Arizona, made an attack on the system
of educating the Indians. and Mr..
Walker moved to strike ont the appro-
priation for the Carlisle school. No
vote was taken on the motion.

HAVANA, Jan. 26.-The United States
battleship Maine, commanded by Cap

here and was saluted by the forts and
war vessels.
A crowd that seemed to number near
ly all the population Of Havana hocked
down to the waterside when it was an

the narrow channel abreast of Moro
the Maine. in accordance with the usual
international courtesy, ran the Spanish
royal ensign to her foremast top, and
her big batteries rOared a salute of p
guns to the Spanish forts. The can
nonade was returned by a deafening
welcome of the same number Of guns
from the MORO castle batteries.
The noise of the saluting resounding
through the city, swelled the throng at
the water front. When the Maine drop
ped anchor in the inner harbor there
was great rush for positions as near
as possible to the American fighting
machine.
After the Maine anchored Captain

HODGDON ON TRIAL.
The Tontine Hotel Mystery
at New Haven.
IS FIREDUG FRED COOK INSANE?
Charges Hotel Keeper Now on Trial
With Having Hired Him to Commit
Arson, and tho Defense Questions
His Mental soundness.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 26.--The. trial OF
George r. Hodgdon, proprietor OF the
Haynes hotel, Springfield, Mass, and
the fremont House, this city. charged
in two counts with attempting TO set
fire TO the Tontine hotel, was begun in
the superior criminal court before
Judge Roraback and jury.
Captain Hodgdon's arrest was made
Dec. 2s on the confession Of Frederick
A. Cook, q painter, who alleged that
he attempted to fire the hotel on two
occasions, Oct. 10 and Dec. 25 at the In
stigation OF Hodgdon, who appeared to
be aggrieved because the present man.
Hger OF the hotel secured possession in
a manner which appeared 10 him UNDER
handed. Though IL was the general i'm
preston that the trial would be a brief
one, the indications are that IL viii be
long drawn out.
This was made evident from the re-
quest OF Attorney Chase, for the de-
fense, asking Judge RorabaclS 70 allow
experts to examine Cook who Is the
chief witness for the state relative to
his sanity before he be allowed to testi-
fy. The court refused TO grant the re-
quest at the present time. II is the
general opinion, however, that expert
testimony viii prove an important
factor in the trial.
Yesterdays session was occupied in
impaneling a jury and getting the tes-
timony OF two witnesses, Benjamin T..
Ess and Frederick A. Cook. The lat
ter has already pleaded guilty to the
charges, but accuses Captain Hodgdon
OF completely.
The ilrv xvae caotrad i,, faoc than
three hours, after % out of 2s talesmen
had been examined. Adjournment was
then taken for the noon recess and
then court reconvened for the purpose
of listening TO the testimony. Attorney
Chase at once offered his motion for
the examination, OF Cook by experts,
which was not allowed and b. r. Ess,
an insurance agent. was the first Wit
ness to take the stand. He told how
IN a conversation with HodRdon last
August the accused expressed consid-
cradle animus toward White. the pres
ent manager OF the Tontne House, and
stated that he hoped the place would
go up some day.
Cooks testimony occupied over two
hours and was not concluded when the
court adjourned. Cook told OF his ac-
quaintance with the accused through
working for him. how the latter ap-
proached him with reference to setting
the fire. of his attempts. how on the
morning OF Dec. 25 he was discovered
virtually in the act by the watchman
I'm the hotel. OF his flight and return to
Springfield and how he planned to es-
cape the officers. At this point ad-
journment was taken.
