Maine inquiry conferred in a statement
by Secretary Long, following the cabi-
net meeting. that in his personal opin-
ion any official participation by the
Spanish government in the blowing up
of the Maine was now practically elimi-

ment was not of formal or official
character, and was made by Mr.. Long
as he walked away from the white
house. AS usual the various cabinet Of
ficers were besicged with inquiries as
to the questions before the meeting.
and in response to these opportunities
the secretary rather casually summed
up the situation In few words. stating
that most of the time had been given
TO the outrages on colored postmasters
In the south. Naturally the Cuban
situation had been gone over. he said,
but there were no actual developments
and he felt that public excitement over

same passing way, that any participa-

Secretary Aiger Thinks an Injustice
Is Done His Colleagues.


Washington, March 3.-The Wash
ington Post prints the following inter
view with Secretary of War Alger:
THE statement OF Secretary Long that
SPANS Official participation In the dis
aster' TO the Maine had been practically
eliminated was merely an expression of
personal opinion on his part. IL Is an inJus-
tice TO him. as well as to the administration.

preston when he was particular mt the
time TO emphasize the fact that he was
speaking simply as an Individual In the
absence OF official facts-and can repeat
what has been said heretofore. that the
public IL equally as we'll Informed as the
government-uo member OF the administra-
ton can, OF course. make official deciara-

or otherwise. There Is not an iota or In
formation as TO tho cause or origin or the
explosion upon which the government can
at this time form a conclusion or base de-
clsion. The verdict OF the court OF inquiry
on that point must patiently be awaited"
Beyond this Secretary Alger would
not be quoted, but he authorized the
Post TO state most positively that no
official information was being withheld
from the public; that the administra-
ton was adhcring strictly to the policy
adopted by Secretary Long with the
approval OF the president, at the start,
TO give the fullest possible publicity to
all facts coming officially to the depart

lower part of the wreck of the Maine
and examine the bottom. After this Is
done the court must deliberate In order
to secure an agreement upon their find
lngs. The prevalent belief at the navy
department is that up to this moment
the court has not once undertaken TO
compare notes and cndeavor to reach
such an agreement.
Opinion prevails among members Of
congress that the president and his adj
visers have positive information regard
ing the destruction OF the Maine, but
that facts are kept secret and the ofii-
cial inquiry is being delayed TO give the
administration needed time to prepare
for threatened war.

ry Provisions 90 Cuba.
Washington, March 3.-Secretary
Long has decided to send two naval
vessels to Cuba at once with 40 or so
tons of provisions for the relief of the
suffering commentaries. The yessels
will go to Matanzas and Sagua La
Grande. Ii is said an emergency exists
that makes IL necessary to dispatch pro-
visions at once in order to succor the
starving. The vessels to be sent will
be the Montgomery to Matanzas and
the Nashville to Sagua La Grande.
The decision OF the navy department
to send two ships to Cuba with supplies
for the suffering reconcentrados caused
some connection in official circles until
the real purport of the visit of the ships
came out. II is explained at the navy
department that this action was taken

of the state department for the relief

Havana, March THE difficulty ex-

Victims of the Maine disaster is not

and one OF the divers had bad fall

gled. Even then they could not ex-
tricate the remains. The principal eff

Washington, March 1.--At the close
OF Office hours telegram came TO the
navy department from Admiral Sicard
at Key West saying II would be neces-
sary for the court OF inquiry to resume
sessions at Havana TO obtain evidence
of divers after further work upon the
wreck. One important deduction to be
drawn from the message was that the
report OF the court OF inquiry can scarce
" be expected for several weeks to
come. Upon the return TO Havana ii Is
expected that good deal of time must
elapse before the divers can get through
the mud which now encompasses the

remark was speedily given wide circula-

mediately started much comment and
discussion, and when Mr.. Long returned

official declaration that SPANS respon-

eliminated. In order to make clear his
meaning, as personal expression of

Key West, Fla, March 1.-The United

sessions here Monday morning. Those
officers and civilians here who believed
the reports from Havana saying that
the court had already decided that the
loss of the Maine was due TO treachery
have apparently changed their minds,
for Monday the universal question was:
"What has the court found out?" while
Sunday one heard all around: when
will war be declared?"
