NOT YET READY
The Court of Inquiry Is Still Busy
Investigating

KEY WEST, Fla, March 2O.-The court
of inquiry, according to Rear Admiral ST.
card, will continue it's work through the
coming week, as 1t is not ready to make a
report on the Maine disaster. The state
ment that Albert 8. Barker carried the re-
port to Washington Is officiall denied.
The object of his flying visit to Key West
was not ascertained until today. 1t can
be authoritatively stated that Captain
Barker had nothing to do with the court
of inquiry. He came here on Friday from
Tampa on special mission to investigate
the harbor defenses, following out some
lines suggested by General Wilson. chief of
engineers, in his recent inspection of land
Notifications. Captain Barker's plan,
when he left here last night, was to confer
with Commander McCalla Of the Marble
head, who is now at Tampa, and he will
probably remain there day or two. Cap
tain Barker formerly commanded the Ore
gon. 1t is impossible to say definitely
whether any synopsis Of the findings of the
court up to date has been sent to Washing
ton. The notion prevails here that this
has been done, but no official confirmation
is obtainable. That the final report has
been sent to Washington can be defnitelv
denied.
Captain Sampson and Lieutenant Com
mander Mark remained on board the

Some Of the American accusations of
British coldness,'' says:
Among many reasons for Great Britain S
comparative non-interest, not the least is
our better knowledge Of the Spaniards and
their paper navy, and our conviction that
the Anglo-Saxon will always defeat the
Latin. Indeed, the trend of British thought
is toward surprise that the greatest of re-
publics oshuld excite itself unduly about
SO poor foe.
1.-THE Americans should remember that,
while we are full of trust in their capabil-
ity to deal with Spanish impertinences,
we are fully occupied with greater trouble,
threatened or active, in various parts of
the world. They have our full sympathy
at time when France, Germany and Rus
sia are backing Spain as fully, and almost
openly, as they are opposing British ef-
forts for the freedom Of foreign trade
throughout the world.
"But there is no occasion now to talk
of an offensive and defensive alliance The
disproportion between our mission and
Americas make 1t impossible. There will
be time to propose this way of recementing
the race when America is ready to face
the splendid responsibilities it entails"

General Lee will act as arbitrator in the

The food on hand will afford relief to all
the needy in the island for week or more,
and additional supplies are afioat.
Relief has been sent to 134 central points,
from which 462 towns and villages have
been supplied. Cornmeal is the principal
ration, as being good food for the really
hungry, but not likely to tempt beggars OF
the unworthy. Besides, there is no diff
Guilty in getting it through the customs
quickly.
Special Commissioner Klopsch has ap-
pointed three men to travel constantly
through the island to verify the count of
the needy, to see that the supplies are
properly received and handled to prevent
fraud. and generally tn assist in tho Uorls

to Mr.. Klopsch is 2O5, 900 necessitous cases.

AUTONOMY SCHEMES
The most interesting topic Of the day was
based on the dispatches from Havana. in
dicating prospective conference between
General Pando and Generals Garcia and
Gomez and others of the insurgent army
for the purpose of submitting to the latter
q formal offer of autonomy. The basis OF
autonomy as outlined In the dispatches ap-
parently found no credence with the Off
cials of the Spanish legation. They stated
their disbelief that a conference on the
proposed line was probable and added that
they had no Information on the subject.
Minister Polo Bernabe expressed the
opinion that the report from Havana was
unfounded. as he said the basis upon which
It was proposed to grant autonomy was
absurd.
