SPAIN DIDN'T DO IT.
Secretary Longs Perso nal Opinion
is that This Element is
Eliminated.

Washington. y. c.. March 1.-Folow-
ing the cabinet meeting today report
was circulated TO the effect that Secretary
Long had stated that the element of Span
iSh responsibility has been eliminated
from the incident of the disaster to the
Maine.
When Secretary Long returned to the
navy department a representative of the
Associated press asked him concerning
this alleged statement. He said that his
expression had been of the most casual
character. The expression was based en-
t!rely upon his personal Judgment and did
not spring from any evidence or informa-
ton III his possession He further said
that there was a material abatement of
the excitement over the subject of the
Maine.
The secretary added that his reference
to Spains responsibility was that the
question of any official participation hy
the Spanish government in the destruction
of the Main" was practically eliminated,
in his Judgment He desired IL have ii
made clear that was his personal view on
the subject
