The Wreckers at Work

HAVANA, March 3.-Active work
was commenced today by the wreck
ing crew in raising Names guns. The
debris will be towed out in the ocean
and sunk. The American divers say
her hull cannot be saved. Her decks
will have to be blown up to release the
bodies which cannot be reached nov.
Two Spanish divers are at work on the
outside of the hull. The Spanish war
ship Almirante Oquendo is expected in
q few hours and the city is gaily deco
rated.
Excitement among the volunteers is
less marked this morning. but trouble
is looked for at any time. The divers
were not able 20 accomplish any work
this morning owing to excessive rain.
1t is feared thas the work of recovering
the remaining bodies in the hull of the
Maine will have to be abandoned.

It was Stated Today That a
Bill Asking
FOR AN APPROPRIATION
For the Purchase of Freedom by the Gu
bans With Bonds Guaranteed by tho
United States Would be Submitted to
COngress.-Opinions of Different Prom
inent Public Men Differ as to Whether
the Scheme Is Feasible.

WASHINGTON, March AT the
capital today it was stated that bill
asking for an appropriation for the
purchase of freedom by the Cubans
with bonds guaranteed by the United
States would be submitted to congress.
Senator Elkins is of the opinion that
the plan is feasible and stated that
three per cent interest bearing bonds
for two hundred million dollars would
free the Island.
Senator Allison said: 81 believe
the plan could be carried out salts
factorily."
Senator Vest: ''This scheme is not
the proper way to treat the situation:
the president should intervene. No
body wants war less than I, yet would
be willing to see war if we could ameli-
cate the fearful condition of the Cuban
people,"
Senator German: 81 don't see any
thing the administration can do unless
it intervenes on the ground of human
ity."

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Tbe
Washington Post this morning prints
the following interview with Secretary
Alper. 1.-THE statement of Secretary
Long that Spain's official participation
in the Maine disaster has been prac-
tically elimi nated, was merely the ex-
preston of his personal opinion. 1t is
an injustice to him as well:as to the.gov-
ernment to give an official significance
to the expression when he was parti
cular at the time to emphasize the fact
that he was speaking simply as an in
dividual."
Secretary of War Alger was inter-
viewed again today, and said:
"The ntry is confronted with a
grave emergency. We must be ready
for action when the time comes. 1
have statutory right that in case of
emerge ncies like this to act without
waiting on congress-. If, later, con-
eress should decide 1 acted too hastily
in letting war contracts, I will pay the
bill out of my own pocket"
, James Hamilton Lewis, democrat,
representative from Washington,
severely criticised Secretary Longs
remark today and has prepared reso-
luton of censure which he will explode
at the earliest opportunity. Lewis
thinks Secretary Long should be con-
demned by congress. He says he will
fortify his resolution with remarks
intimating that M. Long was talking
for stock exchange effect.

London.-The Daily News, comment
ing editorially this morniug on the re-
lations between the United States and
Spain, says:
"Spain can expect no support, moral
or otherwise, from England against the
United States. She has ruined Cuba,
as she has ruined or lost every other
colony, by the grossest corruption:
cruelty ard NAL administration, and
she must be left to settle the account
for her policy with those whom it may
concern without any aid or sympathy
on our part"
The Standard in mn editorial on the
same topic. praises President McKin
ley's satesmanlike moderation and re y
cognizes that sit would be only human
nature that proof of the Names having
been blown up from the outside should
