Capt. Chadwick. on the Bsche, saMS
on his return to Key West at o'clock
this afternoon The Mangrove has
moved near the wreck.
No more bodies have been recovered
from the wreck up to the time Of fling
this dispatch.
La Lucha, In an editorial, says: 'The
United States note to Spain demanding
that a date be fixed to end hostilities, is
simply declaration of war. 1t was not
issued until after the finding OF the
United States court OF inquiry had been
received, which finding Is without
scientific basis, and is open to question
even upon the part Of the most preju-.
diced. President Mckinley has been
forced by jingo opinion and the sensa-
uonal newspaper press, to close the de-
bate on the question and to shield Capt.
Sigsbee, who is one of the most popular
officers in the United States navy"
ut was needless to send the Maine
to Havana, as American interests were
amply protected by Gen Lee, and also
by the Cuban government, the latter
often acting to its disadvantage and in
favor Of American interests"
Continuing, La Lucha remarks: "Tt
is wen for Spain to know at last the
real purpose of the money-loving Ameri-
cans. Spain now knows what to expect
and how to act"
La Lucha then warns the United
States that if she expects to have all
her own way in Cuba, she can only do
so with cannon"
In conclusion, La Lucha says: "The
United States is rich and Spain is poor,
but the end of the war may find Spain
with good portion of American
money"
La Lucala also quotes Gen. Lee as de-
nying the report published in Madrid,
which was to the effect that he was
connected with the alleged syndicate
whose purpose is said to be the pur-
chase of Cuba
The consul general says, according to
La Lucha, that The attends only to n1e
interests Of Americans; never mixes
with outside matters and never had any
communication with the insurgents, ex-
cept when he tried to save the life of
the late Lieut.. Col Ruiz, which step
was taken with the consent of Capt.
Gen. Blanco.
In conclusion. Gen. Lee is quoted as
expressing the hope that peace will pre-
vail and that all the questions In dis
pute Will be arranged to the best inter.
ests of both nations
About 700 troops arrived here today

Synopsis of Findings of Spain's
Naval Commission.
AN INSIDE EXPLOSION.
There Was No Second Explosion
on Board the Maine.
No Dead Fish Were Found-No Sign of the
Action of a Torpedo-our Refusal to
Allow Cooperative Work is Depored.

Washington, March 2S.-A full synop-
sis Of the report of the Spanish naval
commission which investigated the de-
struction Of the battleship Maine is here
given by the Associated Press. 1t is
taken from copy of the original report
which is now on its way here from Ha-
vana, the synopsis being cabled in the
meantime, and today placed in the
hands of this government The con
clusions reached are directly opposite to
those in the report of court of inquiry
submitted to congress today. The syn
opsis is as follows:
THE report contains declarations
made by ocular witnesses and experts.
From these statements it clearly de-
duces and proves the absence of all
those attendant circumstances which are
invariably present on the occasions of
the explosion of a torpedo.
'"The evidence of witnesses compara-
lively close to the Maine at the moment
is to the effect that only one explosion
occurred; that no column Of water was
thrown in the air; that no shock to the
side of the nearest vessel was felt, nor
on land was any vibration noticed, and
that no dead fish were found.
The evidence of the senior pilot of
the harbor states that there is abun-
dance of fish in the harbor, and this is
corroborated by other witnesses. The
assistant engineer of works states that
after explosions made during the execu-
tion of works in harbor, he has always
found dead fish
The divers were unable to examine
the bottom of the Maine, which was
buried in the mud; but careful exam
nation of the sides of the vessel, the
rents and breaks in which all point
outward, shows without a doubt thai
the explosion was from the outside.
"A minute examination of the bottom
of the harbor around the vessel shows
absolutely no sign of the action Of a
| torpedo, and the judge advocate of the
commission can find no precedent fol
| the explosion of storage magazine o1
a vessel by torpedo.
! '"The report makes clear that, OWNS
| to the special nature of the proceedings
| following and the absolute respect
shown for the extra territoriality of the
! Maine, the commission has been pre-
vented from making such an examina-
ton of the inside Of the vessel as would
determine even by hypothesis of the in
ternal origin of the accident. This is
to be attributed to the regrettable refu-
sal to permit the necessary cooperation
of Spanish commission with the COM
mander and crew Of the Maine, and the
different American officers commissions
ed to investigate the case of accident,
and later on with those employed in
salvage work.
1.-The report finishes by stating that an
examination of the inside and outside
of the Maine, as soon as such examina-
ton may be possible, also of the bot
tom where the vessel rests will prove
that, supposing the remains of the
wreck are not totally or partially alter
ed in the process of extraction, the ex-
plosion was undoubtedly due to some
interior cause"

NO ARMIsTIcE.
Cuban insurgents Would Never Consent
to Such a Step,

SuDah insurgents would Never Consent
to Such Step.

sent to armistice or any other plan but

counsel for the Cuban junta, today, '-T,ha
Cubans will be thankful for interest,"
shown by this country but would have
to respectfully decline all such propo-
sitions. 1t Is an absolute loss of time
for the United States to entertain any
negotiations of the kind with Spain.
The Cubans naturally feel that It Is un-
Just for the American government to
even indirectly espouse the cause Of a
nation convicted of wholesale murder.
as against the people who, emulatinG the
example Of the Americans, are fighting
for liberty
The United States may be magnani-
nous enough to forgive the Spantards
for the loss of the Maine and 266 OF her
blue jackets, but the Cubans will never
forgive the Spanish government for the
determination of her 100000 pacificos.
The flag that covers that crime must
cease to wave over Cuba.
If there is an armistice Spain would
save $4,000, 900 a month for six months
The Spaniards know that the Cubans
will not enter into an armistice, and
they desire the United States to offer
the plan that their refusal may remove
the sympathy and support of the Amerd-
can people"

Hon. A. Cornwall is the Sandy candl'
date and the only one on either ticket.
He aspires to the Office OF treasurer OF
this county and his claim to it is just
one. Mr.. Cornwall has been honored on
several occasions by election to Office by
the democrats and he has always filled
the positions TO the satisfaction OF the
whole people. If he is elected treasurer
he will give the people clean and honest
administration Of the office. He is an
able and efficient man, thoroughly cap

people may elect him. SANDYITE.

The Standing Of Kean St. Charles.

People who read the blesry and un.
grammatical sheet ycleped Our Mineral
Wealth would readily conclude that its
editor was dyed in the wool, free silver
democrat. Those who are cognizant Of
the facts know this to be rollicking
farce. Kean St. Charles came here few
years ago and played bunco game on
the republicans of Mohave county and
got them 10 put up their good stuff for
nondescript newspaper, passing himself
of as the blackest republican sheep in
the band. After few months of repub.
llcanism the wiley editor observed that a
feeling of discomfort pervsded the rank
and file Of the two old parties in the
county and believed that flank move
ment would place him in position Of
trust and 6ll his coffers with the lucre
that all mankind hungers tor. But St.
Charles was not equal to The emergency.
He proved too small tor the place and the
movement failed the populists have gone
the way OF many other good things and
was inferred in lonesome grave. Keau,
poor boy, without a party was in dole
ful straits. He made desperate Efforts to
scare the democrats with the popuIist
bugaboo by making an attempt to resur.
rect the cold and clsmy remains from the
grave, but without Causing perceplible
crack in the sealing wax on the tomb
Then came an offer from party, which
Is not composed of democrats, that he
could have a nomination for the legsa-
ture. After considering the matter for
some time he concluded that he could

The people Of Klngnan know that the
underlying motive of every action on the

ing of gravel by direct pressure, as is
done at Temple Bar, is great achieve
ment in hydraulic mining and has here

possible, but brains, pluck and capital
