Admiral Sicard Speaks Very highly
of the Members Of Board of
inquiry
on Mines.

Key West, Fla. March 2S.-The AS
sociated Press bulletin that The court
OF inquiry had found the Maine was
blown up by a submarine mine created
intense excitement here. It was read
by eager crowds. which included Rear
Admiral Sicarl, elderly captains and
young cadets, AS frequently stated
in these dispatches, most of the naval
officers GA Key West have held 10 the
opinion, shared by the officers Of the
Maine, that the warship was blown mp
by external means. The minority who
previous to today expressed the con
viction that the court would be unable
to determine the cause was hard to
find. All were glad TO know the
Names fate was not due TO the negll-
gence Of her American officers.
The most significant Development
that followed the announcement OF the
repoTt-a development known to but
few-Was the sudden sailing of the
lighthouse tender Mangrove for lla-
vana. The Mangrove was lying quietly
at the dock loading huoys when the or
ders came about ) o'clock f. her to
proceed with all haste TO lla,yna and
TO take on board all the American Of
ficials in that city with the exception
of Consul General Lee. 1t is feared
that the knowledge of the courts re-

ment TO a climax. Officers of high rank

timony goes to show that it was a
powerful submarine mine, the exact
character of which is not determined
by the testimony, though the belief is
expressed that it was what Is known as
the floating submarine mine. The
hoard finds there were two explosions,
first from the outside, which set off one
of the smaller magazines.
Long and Mark remained till the
members Of the cabinet appeared,
when the former wen into the cabinet
room, while Mark remained in the adj
joining apartment subject to call. The
report of the board was gone over care
fully and a general discussion of its
leading features followed. Mark was
called in to answer questions, explain
ing some matters not fully covered by
the report. The meeting lasted till af-
ter / p. IN. After adjournment the
members declared no further state
ment would be made till the contents
of the report was transmitted to con-
gress Monday.
Commodore Winfield Scott Schley, at
present connected with the light house

mand of the flying squadron at Hamp-

His command at present will con-

discretion, good judgment and fighting
qualities. He was in command of the

discrimination.

rotary of the navy and delivered to
Secretary Long the report OF the Maine
court of inquiry. After some formal
tiles the secretary and Mark proceed
ed to the white house, and at 0:4O the
document was delivered to the presi-
dent.
As the secretary and Mark emerged
from the secretary's Office TO go TO the
white house, Long cordially greeted a
group of newspaper correspondents,
and remarked he had not opened the
report and knew nothing more than
they did of its contents. Then he and
Mark passed into the navy department
brougham and were driven TO the
white house. They did not go direct
TO the presidents Office, but passed
through TO the private corridor on the
first floor, thence TO the blue room to
await the president. A few minutes
later the secretary and Mark joined
the president in the library and the
report was formally delivered TO the

The attention Of Admiral Sicard was

mined. lie replied:
IF Havana harbor were mine /
should certainly have mined it. The
water there is especially suitable for
such a method of defense. SPANS de

But il has not been known until now
that the organization of Cubans in the
tiles has progressed so far. The
knowledge that 10000 are ready to
meet American Intervention half way
by rising in Havana as soon as the
first shot is fired is a gratifying sur
prise. 1t comes through channels
which have placed in the possession of
the government the most complete and
detailed information about the mum
bers, armament, distribution and gen
eral condition Of the Spanish forces in
Cuba. The war department knows to-
day how many men of the different
branches Blanco has, where they are

Of tmmunition-in short, all that one
side needs to know about its enemy.
