Assistant Secretary Days Statement.
Assistant Secretary Day was seen by a
Star reporter at the State Department this
afternoon, and he said: 1.-The sending of
the Maine to Havana means simply the re-
sumption of friendly naval relations with
Spain. 1t is customary for naval vessels of
friendly nations to pass in and out of the
harbors of other countries with which they
are at peace, and British and German war
ships have recently visited Havana. This
Is no new move. The President has in
'tended to do 1t for some time, but hereto
fore something has happened to postpone It,
THE orders to the Maine mean nothing
more than have said, and there is nothing
alarming or unfriendly in them. The
Spanish minister here Is fully informed
of what is going on, and SO far as know
has not made the slightest objection to it,
Judge Day, in response to direct In
quiries, said there was no truth in the
rumor that Consul General Lee had called
for a warship and he also said the Spanish
minister, De LONE, who called on him this
morning, had not even intimated any dis
satisfaction with the Presidents naval
policy. 1t was not true that Minister DE
Lone had asked for his passports or had
said anything. said Judge Day, that would
indicate any intention of doing so.
The Maine Has Sailed.
1t was learned at the Navy Department
late this afternoon that the Maine and
other vessels lying at Key West had sailed
this morning for Tortugas. 1t was not
stated that the Maine had gone to Cuba or
would go there before her return.

PORTLAND, Ore, January 24lThe
steamer Oregon sailed for Alaska last night
with 40 passengers and 80 tons of gen.
eral merchandise and baggage. Fifty head
of live stock was also part of the cargo
All day long thousands of people swarmed
about the steamers dock, and so great was
the crush that ten policemen We're detailed
to handle the crowd. No less than 300
people who applied for passage were re-
fused, and hundreds of tons of freight are
lying on the docks awaiting transportation
to the gold fields. y
The rush to the Yukon from every port
in the southwest has begun earlier than
was anticipated by the transportation COM
panies, and every steamer that leaves is
compelled to refuse both passengers and
freight. The demand for lumber in Alaska
Is enormous, but steamships refuse to car
ry it, preferring to take less bulky freight,
leaving the lumber for sailing vessels.
