COURT OF INQUIRY.
Official Denial That Formal Report Has
Eeen Made.

Key West, Fla, March 2O.-The court
of inquiry, according to Rear Admiral
Sicard, will continue its work through
the coming week, as it is not yet ready
to make a report on the Maine disaster.
The statement that Capt Barker carried
the report to Washington Is officially
denied
The object of his flying visit to Key
West was not ascertained outside Off
cial circles until today. 1t can be au-
thoritatively asserted that Capt. Bar
ker had nothing to do with the court Of
inquiry. He came here on Friday from
Tampa, on a special mission to investi-
gate the harbor defenses, following out
some lines suggested by Gen. Wilson,
chief of engineers. Capt. Barlker's plan
when he left here last night, was to con-
fer with Commander McCalla of the
Marblehead, who is now at Tampa, and
he will probably remain there a day or
so Capt. Barker formerly commanded
the Oregon.
1t is impossible to say def
nitely whether any synopsis of the find
ings of the court up to date has been
sent to Washington. The notion pre-
walls here that this has been done, but
no official confirmation is obtainable.

TowEDATHousAND MILES.
Big Freight Steamer Osborne Brought to
Halifax Disabled.

Halifax N. s., March 20.-The big
freight steamer Osborne, Capt, Rettie,
from London, bound to Philadelphia,
was lowed in here disabled tonight by
the oil tank steamer Duffield Captain
Young, also on a voyage from North
Shields for Philadelphia. The accident
which disabled the Osborne was the
breaking of her tail shaft on Friday
night, March II. For over two days she
drifted helplessly. One day an east
bound passenger steamer came near
enough to be signalled to for assistance,
but she declined to take the drifting Os-
borne in tow. The Duf1eld bore down
on her at six o'clock last Monday
under way with two hawsers out. They
started on the long tow from lat. As, %,
N. lon AZ, so w, a distance of over
1000 miles from this port. Captain
Young of the Duffield offered to take the
Osborne to Halifax or Philadelphia, and
Capt. Kettle of the disabled vessel pre-
ferred Philadelphia, as both steamers
were bound to that port. AS they
neared the coast heavy gales pre-
vailed. The Osborne having a light
cargo, rolled and pitched fearfully, and
the strain on the towing hawsers was
tremendous. On Friday last Capt Ret
tie requested the commander of
the Duffield to make for Halifax,
and they turned their noses in
the direction of this port The
Osborne was towed the longest distance
of any disabled steamer ever brought to
Halifax. The Dufield will proceed for
Philadelphia without delay

SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
Caused Either by Alcoholism or
Violence.
RESULT OF SUNDAY SPREE,
A Wire Worker Found in a
House at Quinsigamond.
A Companion Arrested and Held to Await
the Result of an Autopsy
Men Had Been Drinking
Alcohol
RESULT OF SUNDAY SPREE,

Charles johnson, a Ffnlander, OF 7s
Cotton wire works, died at the home of
Olaf West, Thenius street, Sunday af-
ternoon, under circumstances that
caused the arrest of Charles Carlson,
companion, until an autopsy develops
whether johnson died of natural causes
or from violence.
About 80 Sunday afternoon, Officer
Goodwin of Station was notified that
a man was dead at the West house, but
from what cause no one could tell Police
headquarters were notified, and In
spectors O'Day and Stone were detailed
ON the case. They went to the house
and found the dead man lying on the
kitchen floor. They Immediately tele-
phoned for the medical examiner, and
began an investigation.
All the occupants OF the house had
been drinking more or less, and none of
them could speak English. An inter
prefer was finally found and the fol-
lowing details of the matter learned
Johnson and Carlson had been at the
house a large part of the day, drinking
being alcohol. During the afternoon the
two men had quarreled and came to
blows although neither of the men
seemed injured. About 4 o'clock john
son staggered to a lounge in the room,
dropped on to it and rolled to the floor,
dead.
Medical Examiner F. H. Baker was
unable to state whether death was due
to violence or alcoholism, and he ordered
| the body removed to the City Hospital
morgue, where an autopsy will be held
| this morning.
The man had several bad bruises
about the head, evidently received in the
encounter; but whether they were suf1i-
cient to cause death or not, was a mat
ter of doubt,
In view of the attending circum-
stances, it was thought best to hold
Carlson on the charge of assault until
the result of the autopsy is known. In
spectors O'Day and Stone and Officer
Goodwin went to the home of Carlson,
Whitney street, and placed him under
arrest
The house conducted by Olaf West
bears rather unsavory reputation, and
has been a resort much frequented by
men who wish to pass the day in
carousal. West has been arrested for
keeping a diSorderly house and( for
drunkenness on different occasions.
Johnson is about 80 years Of age. and
is said to have a family in Finland.
Carlson is % years old, and unmarried.

OUR DUTY TO SPAIN.
Rev. Leo Boone Thomas Outlines 1t at
the Main Street Baptist Church.


Rev. Leo Boone Thomas spoke on
Americas duty to SPAIN, at the Main
Street Baptist Church Sunday evening
before a large congregation. His text
tude." The son is bound to honor his
parents, he said, for many reasons. Co
lumbus discovered our land with the
help of Spain. We owe Spain, therefore,
more than other nations, because she
happens to be our mother as a new
world. We say thas the Spaniards are
cruel as nation, and we refer to the
bull fight for an Illustration; but it is
question whether this is not from re-
tarded progress more than from a saw
age nature Remember that SPANS his
tory has been more continuously in war
than that of any other nation of Eu-
rops.
We say they are treacherous. Con-
slider; is this innate or largely the result
of circumstances and religion. Much has
no doubt been said about the Roman
Catholic religion that is untrue, but we
may ourselves follow its path of blood
we may satisfy ourselves that as basal
principle the end has ever justified the
means. The Spaniards live in a tropi-
cal climate where the Imagination is ac-
tive. The seed of superstition easily
takes root Famine and pestilence
spread and with them we always find
superstition prevailing. Continual war
fare brings poverty, poverty ignorance
and ignorance superstition, so the priest
has continued to gain his power over
the Spanish until the religion has be-
come the life of Spain.
Spain has stood still while tie rest OF
the nations have gone forward. Within
the last century she has doubled in pop
ulation, however, and she is growing to-
day, but she can never grow BEAUTIFULLY
until she sweeps this superstition aside
! We cannot realize the power of the
church as it exists in SPAIN
We are free in this country, as few
people are. We fail to realize how this
spirit has soaked through us. We must
not forget that SpaiE's influence has
been opposite. There is danger that the
Spaniard may fall into rationalism if Ee
steps out into the light of the 10Th cen
fury and finds how the world has gone
on without him. There is a grand fielo
for missionary work in Spain. l should
rather see missionaries hurled at Spair
than missives. We cannot get away
from the fact that we owe other men az
much as we are better off thar they are

of the nations. l should rather see heI
