The disaster to the Maine was the only
topic considered. II was determined to
abandon the reception at the White
House tonight, and also the reception
to the general public tonight.
About IL o'clock the cabinet officers
came from the presidents office. One
of them stated that the president had
given directions that all official infor
nation relating to the disaster should
be given to the public. He added that
private dispatch to Secretary Long,
signed Rea, stated that the loss was
over 20. 1t was not official, and Mr..
Long considered the estimate too high.
This was before Captain Sigsbee's dis
patch placing the lost and missing at
237 was at hand. The cabinet officers
stated that there were many evidences
that the disaster was the result of an
accident. Up to the present time, he
said, no orders for sending another
American ship to Havana had been is
sued. Consul General Lee had cabled
that the Spanish authorities had ex-
pressed to him their profound regret at
the occurrence. Another cabinet Off
cial stated that one of the dispatches
stated that Captain Sigsbee was the
last to leave the ship.
