oNLY ONE HoUR
Was All the Court of Inquiry Devot-
ed to Its Investigation Yesterday.

Key West, March 1.-The United States
court Of inquiry reconvened at o'clock
man, who testified at Havana, was again
called: Lieutenant of Marines Cattling
Boatswain Larkins Gunner Hill and Car
penter Holmes. The two latter were on
could tell little of value
At ten minutes past 3 the court ad-
Judge Advocate Mark said: 1.-THE stem
ographers have all they can transcribe in
record form, and there is no use of our
working longer today"
After the court room was cleared for
terview with Admiral Sicard and then
returned to the Iowa Captain Chad
were taken on board of the New York.
An officer of the Maine, however, who had
been examined by the court during the
day. talked with the correspondent of
the Associated Press.
Il can't tell YOU" he said, what line
Of questioning was adopted; but the court
will find, 1 believe, that the Maine was
blown up by design, though 1 don't think
1t will be able to ascertain exactly how
The courts finds Will be based on mega
tive rather than positive evidence.
BY this mean that all of the tesu-
mony heard so far has, bit by bit, upset
the theories of those who think the eX-
plOsiOn was of internal origin. The mega
tive evidence is so strong and so general
that L see no possibility of the court de-
Gliding that the explosion was internal
The only alternative then left for the
court is to fall back on evidence which
points to the intentional blowing up of
the Maine. This, I think. will be done.
unless the court formuIates a theory of
its own or declares that it does not know
how the disaster occurred, both of which
conjectures I think improbable
As bearing on the value of the opinion
of the officer in question, it must be
borne in mind that he was before the
court for about fifteen minutes only, and
that he has at all times expressed himself
confident that the explosion was not
due to an accident
Members of the court, when the sub
stance of the interview was brought to
their attention, declined to have anything
icrk, nj to-
officials here when asked crucial ques-
tions. politely profess IGNORANCE.

GOOD WORDS FOR lola.
Chicago Press Club Passes ResoIu-
tions of Sympathy.

| Chicago, March IA well attended
! meeting of the Chicago Press club was
| held this afternoon under a call issued,
requesting the members to express their
| opinion regarding the case of M. ZoIa,
the famous novelist, sentenced to a
years Imprisonment because of his out
spoken demand for open trials and par
ticularly for a new trial in the famous
Dreyfus case.
Warm addresses on the subject were
made and the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, In the republic of France,
! a great writer has, in the face of tenn
pOrary public opinion, dared, regardless
of consequences, to maintain the right
of free thought, free speech and free
publicatiOn-when the object is for the
general public good-and,
Whereas, Monsieur ZoIa has been aid
| ed by H. Perreux in printing what lola
wrote and who is now sustaining such
expression by his own course;
Resolved, That the Press club of Chi
cagO, the gathering ground and recOg-
nized center of the journalists and au-
thors of Chicago in a republic which
has been close to France in many
things, declares it's profound regard and
sentiment of helpfulness to both the
great novelist and to the editor VINO
published his letter; declares, too, its
belief in the justice of the cause ad-
vanced so far as was demanded the
! free expressions of thought for the good
of humanity and it's demand that all
trials of all men should be spoken to
the world
Furthermore, The Press club of Chi
cagO wishes to express its confidence
in the ultimate verdict of a great people
when there comes further reflection up
on wrong sometimes done by the patrl-
otto, but too impetuous upper current.

lates NJ. lola and M. Perreux-

MANY CLAIMANTS
For the Money Due the Dead Sailors
of the Maine.

Washington, March Capt. Hawley,
who is directly in charge of that branch
of the navigation bureau relating to
the enlisted men in the navy is now di-
recting the work of his office, to the
issuance of death certificates to the
families of the dead sailors. These Ger
tihcateS are issued by the surgeon gen
eral and the navigation bureau and are
thus conclusive evidence to the audi
tors of the treasury department, who
are thereby obliged to pay over to the
legal representatives or heirs of the
deceased any sums of money that may
eminent on account of accrued pay or
victims of the Maine disaster the de-
partment is obliged in many cases to
certify to the death of the sailor with
out being able to secure evidence of
that fact through the presence of a
body. 1t is assumed by the officials
that man failing to report persisted in
the catastrophe.
Letters are reaching the navy depart
ment from all parts of the country from
alleged relatives of the victims and it
appears that in numerous cases, there
are many claimants for the small sums
of money and property that belong to
the dead men. It will be the duty of
the department to try to adjust these
claims, and reconcile conflicts and eve
~ effort is being made by the officials
to do this as speedily as possible, con-
sistent with the requirements of the
statutes.

WHY ARE THEY so sLowP
More Evidence of the Governments
Pottering Methods at Havana

Havana, March Little work was done
today by the divers from the tug Right
Arm. Captain MCGEE, who is in charge,
seems to lack authority from the wreck
ing people and others, and is indisposed
to work on his own judgment, except in
smaller details.
Captain Sigsbee was on board the Unit
o'clock this afternoon. He waited for
the Spanish divers, but they did not ap-
Captain Sigsbee thinks Spain has a
moral and international right to make an
Independent examination, and he will give
the Spanish divers such facilities as are
possible.
The difficulty experienced in recover
ing the bodies is not understood by any
ed for three hours trying to bring out one
body intact, and one of the divers had a
bad fall and several got their tubes tan
gled. Even then they could not extri-
cate the remains.
The principal efforts of the divers are
now directed towards clearing the up
per wreckage. smoke stacks, decks, guns,
matches, bridges, cranes and gratings-
then, if not before, all the dead can be
removed.
Captain Sigsbee stin continues to re-
ceive letters in great numbers. All the
queries about the men who lost their
lives when the Maine was blown up are
answered as soon as possible if there is
anything to be told
One of the saddest letters received by
Captain Sigsbee was from the brother of
was claiming the victim his friends at
home We're celebrating his birthday and
wishing him many happy returns Of the
day.

PLAN TO AVOID TAXATION,
Federal Court Says Ohio People With
Winter Homes in Florida May
Not Be Taxed.

Toledo o., March Judge Hammond
of the United States court thus speaks
of the decision he has just rendered in the
case of the treasurer of Huron county
against Mrs. Benham:
Mrs. Benham lived in Norwalk, o.,
and in 1882 went to Florida for her health
She returned in 1888 and bought so acres
of land with a furnished house and said
that was to be her home. She lives there
in winter bat in the summer returns to
Norwalk. The Huron county officials
claimed her home was still in Ohio. and
that her going to Florida was pretense
to evade taxes. They assessed back taxes
on her mortgages and credits to the
amount of "a, $50 for five years.
1.-The question is whether she is a resi-
dent of Ohio or Florida. 1 hold that, be-
ing a citizen of Florida, she is not liable
for these taxes in Ohio. She proved that
she was assessed in Florida a resi-
dent.
TT is the same plan that Gould and
