active duty in times Of war Section
l4G2 of the revised statutes, bearing
on this subject, provides as follows:
NO officer on the retired list Of the

section it is apparent that if war

subject to orders from the secretary OF

False in Every Particular
The statement was persistently cir
culated yesterday afternoon, and in
some cases the report came from those
whose sources Of information should
be reliable, that the administration
was in possession of intimations or in
formation that the result Of the in
vestigation of the court Of inquiry as
to the cause of the Maine disaster
would show that the explosion which
destroyed the Maine came from some
external agency. A cabinet officer was
even quoted as making this announce
ment, and another report had it that
the stenographic notes Of the inquiry
were before Secretary Long. When
the matter was brought to the atten-
ton of Secretary Long he pronounced
the statement as false in every Dartic-
ular. ''1'here is not word of truth in
them," he said. mo word has been
received by the president or any one
else as to what the board of inquiry
will determine. The rumor Was float
ing about all afternoon, but it is utter
lyWithOut foundation.''

Navy Department Means to Get Its
Moneys WORTH.
Washington, March 1.-THE United
States government has not yet &C.
quired single additional ship for the
navy. This is true not because of a
lack Of offers Of warships from
abroad, but simply for the reason that
the new navy department is proceed
ing with all of the circumspection con-
sistent with the needs of the case in
looking after the qualities and prices
Of the craft. There is a strong dispo-
sition to refrain from being drawn
into bad bargains and to insist on get
ting good vessels at prices not ex-
tortionate. Secretary Long was in re-
ceipt Of large number of cablegrans,
almost all relating to offers of ships.
Lieut.. Niblack, the United States
naval attache at Berlin, St., Peters
burg and Vienna, is particularly active
in the quest for vessels. There was
good deal Of talk during the day about
the assignment of officers to the COM
mand of auxiliary cruisers, the st.
Paul and st. Louis being specially
mentioned, but Secretary Long set
these stories at rest by the statements
that he had not made any such as
signments and had only progressed to
the point of informing himself Of the
possibility Of getting the. ships Of.
fcered and manned quickly.
