Disposition to Get Ratified.
Secretary Longs state
ment to the effect that the question of
SPANS participation in the destruc-
ton of the Maine has been eliminated
from the problem confronting the Ad-
ministration is subject Of wide dis

What the Secretary meant, as he

demonstrated by the official denial of
Senior Du Bose, Spanish Charge DAT
flares. and by other evidence that the
Spanish Government had no hand in
the explosion. That some Spanish
subject may have done the deed is not
denied, nor does the Secretary attempt
