cruiser Montgomery arrived here at 9:2;

The arrival here of the Montgomery was
very quiet, it being generally understood
that she comes to replace the coast sur
vey steamer Fern as quarters for Captain
Sigsbee and others.
Commander Converse of the Montgomery
Is high authority on explosives, and his
advice will be useful to the court of inquiry
into the loss of the Maine.
After firing the usual salute, and being
saluted in return, the Montgomery was
moored in the principal harbor near the
wreck of the Maine, and in the center of
a circle Of Spanish ships.
Later in the day Commander Converse
received the Associated Press correspond
ent on board the cruiser, though he had
nothing to tell him beyond the facts al
ready sent.
Captain Sigsbee, Lieutenant Commander

VICTORIA'S MESSAGE
The Queen Hopes That War May Yet
Be Averted

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Much con,
lecture has been iEdulged in touching the
visit paid the White House by the British
ambassador. The Washington Post this
Thursday morning says on this point:
Queen Victoria has, through Sir Julian
Pauncefote, conveyed to President Nc
Kinley her qualification at the wise and
conservative course which he has thus far
pursued in relation to the Cuban and Span
sh situation. She also expressed to him
her thorough sympathy with the efforts
put forth by the United States to relieve
suffering humanity in Cuba, with the hope
that these endeavors may be conducted to
successful conclusion without war.
THESE expressions were not sent in an
official form. They would have been COM
municated through Mr.. Hay, the United
States ambassador to Great Britain, but
for the fact that he is absent on voyage
on the Nile.
1.-THE desire of the queen that war should
be avoided was emphasized for several rea-
sons. 1t was pointed out that the com
mercial relations of Great Britain with the
United States were too extensive to be
jeopardzed by war between this coun-
try and Spain.
Tho reply of the president expressed
his pleasure at the utterance Of the queen.
with the additional statement that he also
hoped that war could be averted. Public

ambassadors visit has been avoided. and
q denial of the fact that it had relation to
the present crisis has been made, because
it was feared that the friendly utterances
| might be misconstrued.
There was another reason. however,
which had its weight in the direction of
secrecy. The attitude of Great Britain
goes further in this matter than mere
expression of good wishes There is de-
sire, which has yet only reached the stage
of tentative suggestion, that an alliance
may be formed between Great Britain and
the United States 1t has shown that the
interests of England and the United States
are not only identical in a general sense.
but are especially identical in the great
question OF finding in China and the east
market for manufactures. This Sugges-
ton has considerable weight with the ad
ministration. Great Britain is finding her
supremacy in China seriously threatened.
If England proposes to hold her own, she
must fight for it. This explains why she
is forbidding her shipowners to part with
the vessels they are constructing and ac-
counts for the large increase she is max
ing to her navy.
"It was the suggestion that if the United
States would afford to Great Britain her
moral support in case of trouble in the
east, she would offer us her sympathy and
practical aid in any trouble that threat
ened with Spain, that revived the discus
sion of the eastern question in the cabinet
meeting last Tuesday. The administra-
ton appreciates the value of this friendly
attitude"
A QUICK DENIAL
LONDON, March 10.-The Washington
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle de-
nies that Sir Julian Pauncefote, when call
ing on President Mckinley on Tuesday,
offered Great Britain's mediation in the
Cuban affair, or asked the support of the
United States for British policy in the far
east
"Sir Julian" says the correspondent,
conveyed to President Mckinley infol-
mally the queens personal satisfaction
at his conservative course, and an express
sion of her sympathy with the efforts to
relieve starvation in Cuba would be
achieved without war;"

cefved orders to execute work known as
'reassembling'' on the five-inch regimental
tube wire gun recently built by the COM
pany and accepted by the government.
The gun was tested at Sandy Hook and
216 shots were fired by the govern
ment. 1t is nineteen feet long and weighs
1874 tons. 1t fires a shot weighing sixty
ponds and at the test attained maxi
mum battery pressure of 5000 pounds per
square inch. The muzzle velocity was
1926 feet per second and the range nine
miles. The work will be completed in from
thirty to sixty days and it is said the gun
may be mounted on one of the auxiliary
cruisers.

EUROPEAN INTEREST
NEW YORK, March ga dispatch to the
World from London says: Public interest
in England is largely centered on the
American-Spanish crisis, notwithstanding
that Anglo-Russan affairs in the far east
have again reached IAN acute stage.
The feeling reflected in the lobby of the
house of commons in growing markedly
sympathetic. and the British government
will be urged from both sides of the house
Conservative and Liberal, to acknowledge
the independence of the Cubans immedi-
ately the United States does so, as the first
step towards Intervention in Cuba.

as can be gathered, Mr.. Hulz left the court
of inquiry because it had no longer need
of his services. There was more than one
stenographer employed by the court at
the time when it was deemed essential to
make haste in taking the testimony of the
survivors of the wreck in the early stages.
When that had been done, it was possible
to proceed before the court with less Ste
nographic assistance. and Mr.. Hulz was
allowed to return to Washington.
