WASHINGTON, March 3.-The deci-
sion OF the navy department to send
two ships to Cuba with supplies for the
suffering reconcentrados caused some
commotion in official circles until the
real purport of the visit of the ships
came out The cruiser Montgomery
and the gunboat Nashville were Sc
lected for the purpose tits explained
at the navy department that this ac-
tion was taken at the instance of the
Cuban Relief association. 1t was
represented to the department
that great distress prevails among
the people in the vicinity of Sagua
la Grande and Matanzas, on the north
ern coast of the island, and that con-
siderable difficulty is experienced in
sending supplies here because of the
infrequent visits of the merchant
ships. The ships will remain in port
only long enough to unload relief sup
plies. They will not go to Havana.

Diaz, of Mexico, may be called upon

the chief executive of Mexico as arbi.
TRAITOR is now before President McKin-
ley. 1t contemplates united request
from the American nations to Spain to
submit the question OF Cuba's future
to Diaz. 1t proposes that the consent
of the insurgents to this meditation
shall be obtained, and that pending
the consideration and determination
by the Mexican president hostilities
shall cease in Cuba. A year ago the
Mexican government conveyed to Spain
strong desire to see the fruitless strug-
gle in Cuba brought to an end. 1t ex-
tends its good offices to mediate with
the insurgents. Spain declined the
offer. Spain now, it is argued, would
much prefer the mediation of Diaz to
that of the American president. The
United States has shown sympathy and
has extended support to the insurrec-
ton and because of the bad feeling Of
Spain toward the United States, it is
represented that she may be willing to
accept Diaz as an arbitrator, while she
will resist to the extent OF war inter-
vention by the United States Some
inquiry has been made in the direction
OF the Spanish government about the
proposition with encouraging results

WASHINGTON, March ) 1t developed
yesterday afternoon, through tele-
graphic correspondence between Sec
rotary Long and Adm. Sicard, that the
court of inquiry is unable to fix even
an approximate date for the conclu-
sion of its investigation into the dlsas-
ter to the Maine. Sharing the general
anxiety for some information on this
point, Secretary Long, at the instance
of the cabinet, sent q telegram to
Adm. Sicard, ask! -ig him when it was
probable that the report of the court
would be made, and late last night the
following reply was received:
KEY WEST, Fla, March 4.-Secretary OF the
Navy Have talked with the president Of the
court Of inquiry and agree with him that 1t is
not yet possible to fix date for the finding,'as
so much depends upon the progress Of the divers
and wreckers and the results they obtain
Every effort is being made to advance the In
quiry. The court returns to Havana by the
Mangrove this evening, having about finished

Adm. Sicard's message is regarded
officially as disposing of the reports
that the court has as yet obtained
positive or conclusive information
bearing upon the object of their in
vestigation. 1t is taken to mean that
upon the testimony or discoveries of the
divers will depend the finding, the ex-
animation of the officers and crew of
the ship having been insufficient to en-
able the court even to form an idea as
to what lines may be opened up from
the investigation of the wreck itself.
While the telegram was naturally
somewhat Of disappointment in leav.
ing the termination of the inquiry as
much in doubt as ever, it was well
coined as practically setting at rest the
reports as to the results OF the in
vestigation up to date. 1t is stated
that the board, in all probability, will
not return to Key West, the depart
ment having intimated that 1t was its
desire that the examination Of the
officers and men should be concluded
ut this sitting, as they are needed for
reassignment to ships.
THE COURT LEAVES FOR HAVANA.
KEY WEST, Fla, March 5. After two
postponements Of its departure the

the best informed here that the court
will complete its labors in the Cuban
capital within ten days The sessions,
IL is generally understood, developed
no evidence by which the court could
definitely determine the cause Of the
explosion.
A naval officer, in close touch with
the members Of the court, said to
correspondent
With one exception, the witnesses who testi-
fed here were Maine survivors The evidence,
though in most cases taking longer to tell, can
be summed up in the words Of an enlisted man
who, when Judge Advocate Mark asked him
what he knew about the explosion. replied:
Sir, | was blowed up. l was saved and I'm
