patch from Santiago de Cuba, announc-

Puenta Berraeo is situated a short
distance from Baiquiri, where the
United States troops were landed.

more completely under the guns Of the
American fleet, from which IL can be
judged that it is highly improbable
that the army has been repulsed as an

de Cuba, dated June 23d, says:
''The attack commenced yesterday.
The enemy concentrated his landing

extended for eight leagues along the

An official dispatch from Havana
says that ''the commander at Santiago

Miles and Alger Confer.
A Washington special says: Secre-
tary Alger and General Miles were in
conferencein the secretary's office at 4
O'Clock Thursday afternoon when the
first Madrid bulletin announcing that
fighting had begun was shown them.
The secretary read it aloud with evil
dent satisfaction, and both gentlemen
expressed themselves gratifed with
this favorable report, coming as it did
from the enemy. There was no sur
prise that the fighting had begun so
soon.
Secretary Alger said no word had
been received up to that hour indicat-
ing that fighting was in progress.

had learned how to wear that abso-

Landed In Manila.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
the administration has no information
in regard to the reports from Manila
that the German marines had been
landed at that place, together with
parts of crews of foreign warships in
Manila harbor. It can also be stated
that the officials, from the president
down, do not credit the reports.
If the statements published in Lon.
don are true, it is considered very
remarkable proceeding, in view of the
understanding given by Germany to
the administration that it would main,
tain a strict neutrality.

 FROM INTERIOR
Is the Finding of the Spanish Court of Inquiry at
 Havana.

Washington, March 2S.-A full synopsis of the report of the Spanish naval commission which investigated the destruction of the battleship Maine is here given by the As sociated Press. It is taken from a copy of the original report which is now on it's way from Havana the synopsis being ca bled in the meantime and today placed in the hands of this government. The con- clusions reached are directly opposite to those in the report of the court of in- quiry submitted to congress today. The synopsis is follows:
 The report contains the declarations made by ocular witnesses and experts. From complications of these statements 1t clear ly deduces and proves the absence of all those attendant circumstances which are invariably present on the occasion of the explosion of torpedo.
 "The evidence of witnesses comparatively close to the Maine at the moment. is to the effect that only one explosion oc- cured; that no column of water was thrown into the air; that no shock to the side of the nearest vessel was felt, nor on land was any vibration noticed, and that no dead fish were found The evidence of the senior pilot of the harbor states that there Is abundance of fish in the harbor and this is corroborated by other witnesses The assistant engineer of works states that after explosions made during the execution of works in the harbor he had always found dead fish. The divers were unable to reach the bottom of the Maine which was buried in the mud, but careful exam ination of the sides of the vessels, the rents and breaks in which all point outward, shows without a doubt that the explosion was forced from the inside
 "A minute examination of the bottom of the harbor around the vessel shows abso- utely no sign of the action of a torpedo oA A mission can find no precedent for the ex- plosaon of the storage agar zineA of a ves-

NOTE ID SPAIN
 SENT LAST WEEK Minister Woodford Holds lm- portant Conference With
 Senor GuIIon.

Washington, March 2S.-The United States government has presented through Min ister Woodford at Madrid carefully pre- pared note dealing with the distressing condition of affairs in Cuba and making clear that this government cannot much longer withhold such definite action as will bring the present struggle and the suffering it is oocasioning to a close.
 The note was submitted to the Spanish government the latter part of last week.
 The Spanish government has made its reply to the note of the United States thus submitted by Minister Woodford.
 A brief cable dispatch was received from Minister Woodford last night, but this is believed not to have conveyed the Spanish reply, as it was confined largely to an in. quiry. 4-
 1t can be stated positively, however, that the Spanish answer has been made and it cannot be doubted that it is in the hands of the authorities here.
 Both the note of the United States and the answer of Spain are marked by con- servative tone, which, however does not overcome the dignified firmness which char acterize the representations of both gov ernments.
 The United States note clearly indicated that sthe situation in Cuba could not much longer be tolerated, and in detail recited the ,distressed condition prevailing, and the apparent inability of the present Span ish policy in Cuba to bring these conditions to close. The Spanish answer Is reas surfing and furnishes basis for lively hope that all differences may be adjusted on a basis satisfactory to this government.

TOWNSEND ON THE STAND.
Considered That Captain Carter Acted Properly
 Throughout.

Savannah, March 2s.-Capt. c. D. Town send. of the engineer corps, was on tho stand today in the Carter court martial as a witness for defense. aCpt. Townsend approved of Capt. Carter's office methods, his form of specifications and the work done under them In one or two points he stated that he might have done otherwise, but as a rule he considered Capt Carter had acted properly throughout.
 When asked about Chief Clerk Sterly, one of the main prosecuting witnesses he said:
 'T am the originator of Sterly," he said. "He went from Willet's Point about twelve years to Yorktown and among others took Sterly with him to aid in laying out camp ground. Sterly told him on that oc- easion that he was a deserter from the German army; that he had killed a man in Germany and had to leave on that &C., cOnnt.''

 "The report makes clear that owing to the special nature of the proceedings fol- lowed and the absolute respect shown for the extra territorialidad of the Maine, the commission has been prevented from mak- ing such an examination of the inside of the vessel as would determine even the hy- pothesis the internal origin of the accident. This is to be attributed to the regrettable refusal to permit of the necessary co-operd- tion of the Spanish commission both with the commander and crew of the Maine and the different American officials commits stoned to investigate the cause of the acei- dent and later on with those employed in salvage work.
 "The report finishes by stating that an examination of the inside and outside of the Maine soon as such examination may be possible, as also of the bottom where the vessel rests will prove that, sup posing the remains (of the wreclS) not to be totally partially altered in the pro cess of extrication, the explosion was un- doubtedly due to some interior cause.'

 Coast. TO BE MANNED BY STATE MILITIA Department in a Strait for Experienced Naval 0fficers-Deserters Who Previously Bore Good Records Will Be Received As Simple Stragglers.
TO BE MANNED BY STATE MILITIA

Washington, March 2S-The customary activity which has prevailed in all branches of the war and navy departments for the past month was apparent again today. Particularly was this the case in the latter, retary Roosevelt were on hand early hold ing conferences with buerau chiefs and a number of visitors who had business of im- portance. Among the public men who saw Secretary Long was Senator Frye, of Maine.
 The Mosquito Fleet
 It was disclosed for the first time by one of the naval orders issued this afternoon that the department had determined upon the formation of an additional new fleet to be known as the Mosquito fleet" to be composed of tugs, steam yachts and other small vessels which may be obtaina- ble and which are to be used as sort of mobile defense of seacoast cities. It was further developed in this connection that the naval militia of the several states is to be called upon to man this auxiliary fleet. The fact that Admiral Walker cabled from Nicaragua to the state department an- pouncing his departure for home revives the speculation as to the likelihood of one of the highest officers of the navy, active or retired being placed in charge of the entire naval workings including the fleet under Capt. Sampson, Commodores Scheys living squadron and any auxiliary line of defense that may be established.
 VIII Be Regarded As Strar glers C7 In cases where the records of the men were good previous to their desertion, they will in all probability upon surrendering themselves at a receiving ship be officially regarded as simply stragglers and not as deserters. According to the regulations, a "straggler is an enlisted man who has overstayed his leave and Is subject to mi- nor punishment Deserters, however, are discharged from the service and are in eligible for re-enNstment. It is recognized that many good men have left the service without permission within the past few years of peace, who would willingly re- enter the navy and render good service in the event of an outbreak of hostilities. The probable policy of the department looking to more liberal treatment of technical deserters is due in great measure to the difficulty the recruiting officers are having Tn securing men up to the naval require ments.
 Augmented by Seamen
 The naval militia of the states, however will not be depended entirely upon to man ships, but in case of necessity resort will be had to seamen wherever they may be picked. Commander Elmer is at the New York navy yard which will be the center of his future operations. A1 ckRNj kzs

ment to the government at Washington. He took the ground to the department that 1t was unknown etiquette to call upon the civil members of the colonial government other than the governor. Without waiting for such an order Capt Sgsbee made a visit afterwards, and he states, ,> was pleasantly received and his visit promptly returned by certain members of the coun- sil. Later a party of ladies and gentle men called and the president of the coun- cil made speech which Capt Sigsbee could not understand but which was in- terpreted to him briefly to which he re- sponded:
 My reply,' said Capt. Sigsbee, twas af- rewards printed in at least two papers in Havana, but the terms made me favor autonomistic government in the island. am informed that the autonomistic govern ment in Havana Is unpopular among large class of Spanish and Cuban residents.
 "I have no means of knowing whether my apparent interference in the political concerns of the island had any relation to the destruction of the Maine."
 Demonstration of Animosity
 When asked whether there was demon- stration of animosity by people afioat Capt Sigsbee said there never was on shore, as he informed, but there was afoat He then related that on the first Sunday after the Maine's arrival a! ferryboat crowded densely with people, civil and military, returning from a bull fight in Rega, passed the Maine and about forty people on board induged in yells, whistles and derisve calls. During the stay in Havana, Capt Sigsbee took more than ordinary precautions for the protection of the Maine by placing sentries on the fore castle and poop, quarantine and signal buoys on the bridge and on the poop.
 Capt. Slgsbee then went Into details re- garding the precautions in force, especially in relation to quarter watches, which he said have never been rescnded. One of the cutters was in the water at the time of the accident, and one of the steam
