KEY WEST, Fla. March 1s,-The
court of inquiry Is diligently continuing
Its sessions on board the battleshlp To-.
wa and Judging from statements made
by members 1t Is quite problematical
how many more days will pass before
the public learns Its conclusions.
BY tho courtesy of Rear Admiral. ST.
card the correspondent OF The Associa-
ted Press was to-day enabled to escape
tho rlgor of the recent rule, forbidding
correspondents to go on board war
ships, and was the first civilian to inter-
View the members of the court OF In
quiry since they secreted themselves on
Wednesday on the Iowa. +, :l.Y,
Captain Sampson received the corres-
Ipondent on the poop deck. In the 'ad-
mlral's cabin below were Captain Chad
wick. Lieutenant Commander Potter
and Judge Advocate Mark. They had
been in session since 10 o'clock this
morning with the ships writer acting
as clerk. 81
THE court is still hard at work." he
said. II have just left my conferees. II
is utterly impossible to say when our
report will be ready. II I surmised the
date and you reported 1t, an afraid
something might occur that would de-
feat the expectation and only serve 10
dlsappoint the anxious public. When
the report is ready it will not be for us
TO make the announcement. Washing
ton.1 presume, will do that" s-}t
If a preliminary report had already
been sent to Washington. Captain
Sampson apparently knew nothing of
It.. In the course of the afternoon, while
the court continued IN session without
once coming out OF the cab:.i large
quantities of ammunition were taken
on board. The same thing took place
on the New York. Both ships are now
better supplied with ammunition than
they. have been at any time before. sE
At 4 o'clock this afternoon, the regu-
lar hour during previous sessions of
the court for adjournment, Captain
Chadwick and Lieutenant Potter enter
ed q gig and were rowed to the New
York; Judge Advocate Mark Is stay
ing on board the Iowa. The court will
resume Its sessions tomorrow.
Unusual precautions are observed on
the New York and tho Iowa, double
harbor watches being enforced. Every
craft that passes on Its way into the
harbor Is submitted to the closest scru-
tiny OF search lights. Both vessels are
ready to pull out at fifteen minutes no.
tice. and special attention IL being given
, to the instruction OF sailors In small
arms and firing practice.
Tomorrow the court will devote con-
siderable time to the preparation OF, dr.
aGrams showing parts of the Maine as
found after the, explosion.

Representatives. of spanish and Cuban
Governments Meet In Nvashin Stol.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 1s.--A
distinguished assemblage OF officials
representing in their several capacities
the Spanish government and the new
insular government OF Cuba met here
to-day. They included the Spanish
minister, who. in this instance. acts as
the special plenipotentlary OF Spain to

Manuel Rafael Angulo, special delegate
OF the Cuban government: Senior Leon
Inc Vareia. secretary OF the chamber OF
commerce OF Havana, Joint commission
or; and Senor Cadrana, OF tho Cuban
finance division, Joint commissioner.
Primarily these officials have met to
open the negotiations for commercial
treaties between the United States,
Spain and Cuba, but in view OF the
present condition OF affairs 1t Is not
improbable that their connections with
all the official branches Of the Spanish
and Cuban governments will permit
their deliberations TO take wider
range. gzE..'i
Senior Varela comes direct from Ha-
vana. accompanied by Senior William
Oracle, his secretary. Senior Angulo
came from Havana some weeks ago,
stopping flrst. at New York and arrIv-
Ing here last night He Is accompan-
led by Madame Angulo. SenorI Cadrana
Will arrive tomorrow being now en-
route from Havana. In anticipation OF
the meeting on Senior Cadrana's arriv-'
al the Spanish minister has conferred
with Commissioner Kasson with a,
View to making general arrangements
for the opening OF negotiations.
The reciprocity treaties which Il Is
proposed to negotiate have been under
consideration by both governments for
some time. and considerable preliminary
work was accomplished by Minister
Woodford. and the Spanish authorities
at Madrid. This is now to be carried
forward and In execution OF the auton-
orny plan that gives the Cubans control
OF their tariff affairs, Messrs. Angulo,
YereIa and Cadrana have been deslg-
mated by the Cuban cabinet to repre-
sent that body. Coming at this time OF
emergency, however, the suggestion has
been made that the Cuban commission
ers would not confine their efforts
strictly to commercial affairs II the

pubiic the report OF the ex.consul, Senof

order OF the executive OF Nicaragua
without having previously cancelled his
,exequattir orsubsequently having prov
Cd any charge against him. The report

acted fully within the line marked out
tpy. dignity and prudence. having all the
right on Its side In the effort 10 bring
The government OF Gen. Zelaya, through

friendly recognition OF the justice OF It's
complaints md the validity of It's
claims. These notes demonstrate that
its. Efforts IN this direction have been
unfortunately fruitless. ls q N
In this condition OF things the gov
'erninetat OF Costa Rica, on tho 18th In.
iHtnnt was requested to give satisfaction
within ten days for the alleged invasion
OF Nicafaguan political exiles over the
Costa Rican frontier. The demand was
immediately answered, and. naturally,
rejected.
''It was learned that an envoy from
Guatemala would arrive at San Jose
from Nicaragua with the basis for a
1ettlement. These, however, were un-
Known there. d
Costa Rica maintains her traditional
good relations with all the other Central
american states; she considers as her
own everything that BODIES good or III
for them, and is personally interested
also in the risks that the Independence
and autonomy OF any Of them may run.
She has given abundant proof OF this;
but in view Of the actions OF the gov
ernment Of Nicaragua, the characteris-
tic peaceful spirit OF the industrious
Costa Rlcan people has changed into a
jwarllke and patriotic spirit. The whole
people are ready for war. animated by
the great enthusiasm inspired In the
Justice OF their cause. The internal or
der in the country is complete: public
opinion Ia a unit; and, as at all times,
the constitutional regime remains in
force ,unlmpaired." Z
