Names of Streets.

There was q discussion III progress ON
the question Of naming the new streets
of Washington and masking sumu
changes in the names Of those already
christened when man, WHO las lived

those that are tit as they ere! Now,
take the letiered streets as all example.
They are named appropriately enough
if the inhabitants would only live up to
their opportunities. tUr instance, the

the sweet people on b street, the navy

Errors In illustrations,

There sometimes seems reason for
complaint common among authors that
Artists do not read the text they arc to
Illustrate. In one of the leading maya
zines recently tho writer mentioned the
fact that her heroine was entirely bald
"a circumstance, indeed, that might
have been deduced from the fact that
she was nearly 100 years old.
Picture the authors disgust when the
old woman was represented with head
of hair that might have served for the
advertisement of some wonderful ire
stOrative."
Even worse seems tho fate Of an I'M
happy writer who. wrote story about
boy named Patsy. The artist meta
morphosod him into a girl.
The readers of recent novel were
puzzled by statement which it seemed
impossible to reconcile with facts. The
text represented a devoted and of sol
diers scaling well nigh perpendicular
cliffs, urging their jaded horses for
ward. The explanation was that the
artist had represented the gallant band
as mounted. The author had depicted
them on foot. When attention was
called to this discrepancy, the easiest
way out of the difficulty appeared to be
to insert the few words as above, which
was accordingly done without heed to
the context.
Mr. James Payn relates similar
story Of his tale, "a Perfect Treasure.
The plot was taken from the story of
the Nancy diamond The jewel was in

servant, WI no fets among thieves and to

must come an end to the present state
of affairs i'm cuba. Secretary Long am
thorized the statement that the under
standing before the cabinet was that
the publication and transmission of tba
report to congress would not occur
until next Monday or Tuesday. as tho
president would require that much
time to give the document the ma
ture consideration its momentous
character required. Other cabinet Of
ficers stated that the general plan in
cluded the sending of a presidential
message along with the report, stating
that Spain had been called upon to
make suitable response to the case as
presented by the court Of inquiry.
While the cabinet associates Of the
president maintained the usual re-
serve as to the exact character Of the
deliberations yet it was conceded that
the discussion proceeded on the theory
that the coming report would show
that the Maine explosion was not the
result of an accident but was due to
external cause
There is no doubt that Substantial
unanimity exists on the part of the
president and all his cabinet, both as
to the Maine question and the general
subject of Cuba. The possibility of a
recourse to intervention in case Spain
declined to make suitable response to
the representations we will make after
receiving the Maine report has been
fully discussed. There is a very evi-
dent intention to consider all eventuali-
ties, including the recourse to inter
vention, the recognition of independ-
ence and other methods which appear
to suitably meet the requirements of
such a condition. 1t is yeAeved to be
the intention of the president, how
ever, to bring about a very material
and satisfactory condition in Cuba
by what shall seem to be the best and
most practicable method of obtaining
this end. 1t is the hope of the au-
ministration that Spain herself will SO
far realize the situation as to see the
necessity for such radical action on her
part with respect to Cuba as shall
command the appreciation of this coun-
try, and thus at once put an end to
all differences.
Pending a decision in the govern
ment's final policy no overtures or in
timation have been conveyed to the
! Spanish government, and there is nc
! official knowledge as to how Spain
would regard a recognition of Cuban
| independence or Intervention. The

and nearly all the contents of refrigerator

Key West, March 23.-The report of
the court of inquiry into the Maine dis
aster left here yesterday in the GUS
tody of Lieutenant Commander Mark
Judge advocate. If the train connec-
tions are made he will arrive in Wash
ington with the document tomorrow
night. Whether the report will meet
with the approval of the navy depart
ment is a matter of conjecture. Even
Rear Admiral Sicard declines to proph-
esy. The general opinion of naval Off
GERS here, however, is that the navy
department will quickly approve the
findings and publicly convey them to
the nation with as little delay as pos
sible.
Within the last few days a minority
sentiment has ben steadily growing
that the court has been unable to de-
termine definitely the cause of the ex-
plosion. Still, 1t is true that a major
ity hold to the conviction that the re-
port will find and prove that the Maine
was blown up Intentionally AS is nat
ural all who could speak authorita
lively maintain the silence which marks
the history of this most remarkable
court. In the absence of any reliable
basis speculation continues rife as
ever, and accurate news from Wash
ington is awaited as eagerly by Rear
Admiral Sicard as by the youngest
cadet in the fleet.
The sending of the report to Wash
ington was an undramatic climax to
weeks of waiting, Lieutenant Com

mander Mark went aboard the Nash

the findings. After a prolonged con-
ference with Rear Admiral Sicard cer-
tain alterations We're made, and then
Rear Admiral Sicard affixed his sigma
ture of approval After luncheon
Lieutenant Commander Mark boarded
the steamer City of Key West and
sailed for Miami at 4:3O yesterday af-
ternoon, with the courts findings safe
ly slowed away in state room No. 16.
Despite the absence from Key West
of the documents on which the eyes Of
the world are fixed the court Of inquiry
continues in existence, though inactive.
Should the navy department require
further investigation, and express dis
satisfaction with the findings, 1t is
probable the court would be obliged to
return to Havana, though the release
of all the Maine officers held here as
witnesses until yesterday makes it un-
likely that any loophole has been left
which would justify the department in
requiring the court to perform further
work.
owing to the continued i'll health of
Rear Admiral Slcard, commanding the
NOrtn AJlanIlC SquaCtOn, arrangements
are making for his detachment from
that duty as soon as 1t becomes ap-
parent that such a step is necessary.
Several weeks ago Admiral Sicard ask
ed for a short leave of absence in con-
sequence of a severe attack of ma
laral fever. His request was granted,
and he spent a short time on shore.
He is again i'll, and 1t is now feared
that 1t will be necessary either to give
him a shore assignment or else leave
of absence. In accordance with in
structions from Washington, a board
of medical survey viii examine the
condition of Admiral Sicard with a
view Of determining the question of his
physical fitness to continue in the
discharge of his present onerous and
responsible duties. The hope is ex-
pressed that the medical board will
report that Admiral Sicard's illness is
only temporary in character, and will
probably yield to treatment with a
short leave of absence, but should It
report that his condition Is somewhat
serious 1t will result in his formal
detachment from the command of the
squadron and his probable retirement
