ter to the Cruiser Maine.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. 19.-Judge
d. NJ. Key, of this city, postmaster
general in President Hayes cabinet
and ex-United States judge, expresses
himself strongly on the disaster to the
Maine. He is quoted literally as fol-
lows:
IF this catastrophe can be traced
to any Spanish officials or any sub
iects claiming allegiance to Spain, /
think the United States should demand
an enormous indemnity and use any
necessary measures to collect it with
out delay, No dilatory tactics should
be employed with Spain in matter of
this kind No amount of money can
pay for the lives lost, but the American
people will demand some heavy COM
pensation for the disas ter and will not
rest until they get it. The time has
come for decisive action"
