CAN'T FIX A DATE.
The Court of Inquiry Doesn't Know When
1t win Get Through.

Washington. March At was level
oped this afternoon through Geographic
correspondence between Secretary Long
and Admiral Sicard that the court Of
inquiry is unable TO fix even an approx
mate date for the conclusion of its in
yestigation into the disaster to the
Maine Sharing the general anxiety for
some information on this point. Seere-
tary Long to-day. at the instance of the
cabinet, sent telegram to Admiral
Scard asking him when ii was prob-
able that the report of the court would
be made. and late tonight the following
reply was received from Key West:
Have talked with the president of the
court of inquiry, and agree with him
that ii is not yet possible to fix date
for the finding, as so much depends upon
the progress of the divers and wreckers
and the results they obtain. Every eff
fort lis being made to advance the in
quiry The court intends TO return 10
Havana this evening. having finished
the investigation at Key West
Admiral Sicards message is regarded
officially as disposing of the reports that
the court has as yet obtained positive
or conclusive information bearing upon
the object of their investigation. 1t is
taken to mean that upon the testimony
or discoveries of the divers will depend
the finding. The examination Of the
officers and crew of the ship has been
insufficient to enable the court to even
form an idea as 10 what lines may be
opened up from the investigation of
the wreck itself.
While the telegram was naturally
somewhat of disappointment in leav-
ing the termination or the inquiry as
much In doubt as ever, Ii was welcomed
as practically setting at rest the reports
as to the results of the investigation up
TO date. Ii is stated that the board. in
all probability will not return to Key
West, the department having intimatad
that it was its desire that the examina-
tion of the officers and men should be
concluded at this sitting, as they are
needed for reassignment to ships.

/ Key West, March 4.-AIl the Maine sur
/ viyors received months pay yesterday
and their claims for lost personal prop
| erty have been paid. Schwartz cook of
I the Maine, has put in claim for 81, 226.
/ which he says he had in his chest, which
was blown to pieces. Nearly all the en-
| listed men lost the savings of years.
There have been no movements of the
feet to-day except that the Nashville
| towed coal barge out to the Iowa. Later
in the day 1t was said on good authority
that the naval board OF inquiry will leave
at o'clock this afternoon for Havana
unless orders to the contrary are received
from Admiral Sieard
The court of inquiry left for Havana
this evening on the light house tender
Mangrove. It is believed by the best
informed here that the court will com
plete its labors in the Cuban capital
within 10 days. A naval officer In close
touch with the members of the court
said to this correspondent:
With one exception, the witnesses
who testified here were Maine surviy
| ors., The evidence, though in most
cases taking longer to tell, can be
summed up in the words of an enlisted
man who, when Judge Advocate Mark
asked him what he knew about the ex-
plosion, replied: Sir, | was blown up.
/ was saved, and I'm here That was
all he could swear to-"
One important fact has been learned
however. 1t is that although the mem
bers of the court may have their in
dividual theories, they are by no means
prepared as a body TO render a decis-
i've verdict The official already quoted
said:
IF the court has yet heard any tes
timony which would enable 1t to de-
eide intelligently that the Maine was
blown up from external causes, | am
the most mistaken man in the world.
Before the coming Havana sessions are
over II may secure such evidence and
tional 1t will learn from the divers
the actual condition of the ship after
the explosion, as ii has already learned
from the survivors most of the details
of the ships condition before the ex
plosion. With these bases thoroughly
established the court Will hear more
expert theoretical testimony and then
reach a verdict
This statement can be taken as more
worthy of reliance than that of the
Maine officer who said the other day
| on evidence already heard, to find the
cause of the explosion external It's
conservatism is also at variance with
| the opinions of many other naval Off
! GERS here, especially those of the
| younger set, and directly contrary to
| the belief of most of the Maine sur
| yivors, that their ship was intention

White Pass Is Ten Miles on the United

The Terms of the Russian
Treaty Quoted.

Washington, March 4.-The breaking
out anew of the controversy over the
boundary line between Alaska and
British Columbia created much interest
among officials to-day. and calls atten
ton TO the necessity for a final DISPOSE
ton of the boundary issue. II is point
ed out that maps and data, prepared
with greatest care and precision by the
coast and geodetic survey authorities.
sustain in every point the position
assumed by the United States with
respect to it's domain. There is. how
ever. an important question of con-
strucfion of the terms of the Anglo
Russian treaty upon which our claims
rest. This government fixes upon salt
water as the basis of the definition,
while the British dispute this and claim
the islands as the ocean shore, which
would place the head of the Lynn
canal in British territory. giving them
several important points like Dyea
and Skaguay.
Attention is called to the fact that
the treaty does not. as seems to be be-
lieved. prescribe a strip ten leagues
wide as American land, but 1t does
make the boundary line the summit of
the mountain range, provided that
range does not involve width of over
ten leagues. According to the reckon
ing of the coast survey authorities and
the lines of defnarcation in their publ
cations, the summit of White pass. over
which the British flag is reported TO
have been planted, is ten miles on the
United States side of the ten-league or
thirty-mile boundary line. The 141st
meridian. cited in the treaty, is the Mt.
st. Elias line.
In this connection, the specific terms
of the treaty between Great Britain
and Russia defining the boundary Is
part of the treaty between the United
States and Russia, and defines the
boundary of Alaska in the purchase of
that country, the first portion of which
is as follows:
THAT wherever the summit of the
mountains which extending from the
Seth degree of north latitude to the
point of intersection of the 141st degree
of west longitude shall prove to be at
the distance of more than ten marine
leagues from the ocean. the limit be-
tween the British possessions and the
line of the coast which is to belong to
Russia as above mentioned, shall be
formed by line parallel TO the wind
ings of the coast. and which shall never
exceed the distance of ten marine
leagues therefrom."
