London Feb =16.-There are widespread

dolence in London at the destruction of

British admiralty cabled a message OF

strates that this theory is not supported

that the disaster WAS produced by an
agency outside of the Maine. a torpedo

NO DISAyOwAL. EXPECTED.
The Statement Given Out on Tues
day Untrue.


In direct contravention of the announce
ment on Tuesday, il was learned last
night that Spain has no intention of max
ing a complete official disavowal of the
statements made by pupuy de LONE in
his letter to Senior Canalejas.
Madrid dispatches and the information
in possession of the Administration show
that Spain considers that the acceptance
of De Lome's. resignation, without the
customary words services appreciated -
as sufficient To close the incident
Madrid newspapers assert that this
Government has no right to expect any
statement other than one to the effect
that Spain regrets that her minister
should have been SO indiscreet as TO utter
the sentiments ae did.
The Spanish cabinet, however. consid-
ers that ii is in no way responsible for
the private letters of De lone.
ii is We'll known that the people of
Spain are aroused against America, and
the authorities in that country find it
impossible. for political reasons, to make
an apology such as we have right to
expect.
Judge Day was asked late last evening
if the State Department had received
any official disavowal of the De Lone
statements from Spain, or any intimation
that one was route 10 the President

has been his custom when queried about
the matter. he said
NO disayowal has been received. other
than this ! have no information that
care to make public regarding the De
LONE incident.
This is regarded as being peculiarly sig
nificant as the Administration has been
only too eager to announce, heretofore,
that Spain would make ample reparation
Early in the week the officials of the
State Department even went so far as to
say that The Spanish government had
prepared an sbject apology for the utter
ances OF De LONE. and that a ''disclaim-
err which was entirely satisfactory had
been forwarded by Minister Woodford.
IL is believed now that the officials of
the department gave out this statement
in order 80 gain time and quiet the Amer
lean people, and that the alleged dis
claimer' can in no way be considered as
an apology.

THE LAST NAVAL CATASTROPHE.

on the disaster, Rear Admiral Kimberly

A TORPEDO DID IT.
This the Opinion of Captain Sigsbee,
of the Maine

This the Opinion of Captain Sigsbee,
of the Maine
The Navy Department received very
significant message from Capt. Sigsbee.
of the Maine, yesterday afternoon.
It enhanced the prevailing belief that
the battleship was destroyed deliberately
and by the hand of an enemy of the
American Government. The fact that
Havana harbor was mined was no secret
here. and had not been since the exclu-
sive publication of the presence of torpe-
does in the bay was made by The Times.
1t was then told how easy it would be
vessel to atoms.
The message of Capt. Sigsbee to Secre-
tary Long was in cipher. Although Mr.
Long refused to divuige the contents OF
the dispatch The Times learns upon ex-
cellent authority that Capt. Sigsbee wired
that he did not believe that the explosion
resulted from any cause within the ves-
sci. He said that forty minutes prior
to the catastrophe he had made
thorough examination of the interior and
exterior of the ship. and that he found
everything in excellent shape. Capt,
Sigsbee Is known to be an exceedingly
careful man. and has been ever watchfuI
of the welfare of his charge ship.
Continuing. Capt. Sigsbee said that he
had no doubt whatsoever that the ex-
plosior was caused by n torpedo. He ask
ed Mr. Long not to make this opinion
public until he had proven it BEYOND
doubt.

Private Secretary Finney acted as mes

Iied to the meeting all the messages from
Capt. Sigsbee before they were given out
at the department.
The Cabinet meeting also saw ali the
messages that the President sent and
WAS present when the messages We're re-
ceived from Srain and England express
ing the sympathy of these governments.
Senor Du Bose brought that of the
Spanish government and Sir Julian Paun-
cefote that Of England.
While the Cabinet was in session Sec

Resolution. Relating to the Maine
Disaster. Passes.

The House of Representatives made
reference TO the disaster TO the Maine in
the last few moments of its session yes
terday Just before adjournment Mr..
Boutelle. chairman of the Naval Com
mittee. offered the following resolution,
and asked for its immediate considera-
ton:
Resolved, That the House of Repre-
sentatiyes has heard with profound sor-
row Of the destruction of the battleship
Maine and the appalling loss of more
than two hundred and fifty lives ana the
wounding of many other gallant defend
ers of our flag, and that the House ex-
press its sympathy with and coincidence
for those who lost their lives in the ser
vice of the nation.
A member from Texas: 'sI would like
to ask the gentleman if the committee is
in possession of any information as to
how the disaster occurred?"
Mr.. BoUtelle: Il have no information
upon which a conclusion could justly be
based. My own impression would hardly
he OF value. but I will state that SO far
as / have been able to learn. my mind is
inclined toward the belief OF an accident

The resolution was then put to the
House and carried, there being scarcely
more than half q dozen Republican men,
