being given the force of an official
declaration that SPANS responsibility
for the disaster had been eliminated.
In order to make clear his meaning, as
personal expression of. opinion, Mr..
Long dictated the following state
ment:
THE main things we talked about in
cabinet were the outrages on postmasters,
one a white man in Georgia and one a
colored man in South Carolina.
I'm regard to the Cuban situation, said
I thought things were growing Quieter
every day and as far as my Judgment went
I was inclined to think that any official par
ticipatfon on the part of the Spanish gov
eminent in the disaster was now practical
ly eliminated"
Washington, March 3.--The Wash
ington Post prints the following inter
view with Secretary of War Alger:
THE statement Of Secretary Long that
Spain's official participation in the dis
aster' to the Maine had been practically
eliminated was merely an expression of
personal opinion on his part. 1t is an injus-
tice to him, as well as to the administration,
to give an official significance to his ex-
preston when he was particular at the
time to emphasize the fact that he was
speaking simply as an individual. In the
absence of official facts-and I can repeat
what has been said heretofore, that the
public IS equally as we'll informed as the
governm ent-no member of the administra-
tion can, of course, make official declara-
ton touching SPANS responsibility, moral
or otherwise There is not an iota of in

Washington, March 2.-The main in
terest of the day in connection with the
Maine inquiry centered in 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-
mated from the situation. This state
ment was not of a formal OF official
character, and was made by Mr.. Long
as he walked away from the white
house. AS usual the various cabinet Of
ficers were besieged 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.
The remark Immediately started
much comment and discussion, and
when Mr.. Long returned to the navy
department after lunch he found that
what he had intended to convey was

Death of n Naval Veteran.

Washington, March 2. - Lieutenant
Commander Charles Henderson Craven,
U. S. N, (retireD died here Tuesday,
aged IS years. He was the oldest son
of the late Rear Admiral Thomas T.
Craven and was born at Fort Preble,
Me. He was graduated from the naval
academy in 1860 and rendered efficient
service in the late war. He was on the
Housatonic when blown up by torpedo
boat off Charleston in 1864. After the
war he served ON the European and
Pacific stations.

Reports from Havana show that the
divers have secured further proofs that
the Maine was destroyed by an external
explosion. The naval board may not
be able to name those who committed
the outrage, but it is declared the mat
ter is now in such shape that Spain will
be required to show who was respon-
sible.
Japan is said to be ready to seize the

some commotion in official circles until
the real purport of the visit of the ships
came out. 1t is explained at the navy
department that this action was taken
at the instance of the Cuban Relief as
ISOLATION, organized through the efforts
of the state department for the relief
of the destitute noncombatants in
Cuba. 1t was represented to the de-
partment that great distress prevails
among the people in the vicinity of
Sagua La Grande and MatanZas on the
northern coast of the island and that
considerable difficulty is experienced in
sending supplies there because of the
infrequent visits of the merchant ships.
The Montgomery will go to Matanzas
and the Nashville to Sagua La Grande
with the understanding that they will
remain in those ports only long enough
to deliver the supplies to the agents of
the association for distribution where
they will do the most good. Although
the mission assigned to the warships
will take them both within a short dis
lance of Havana, estimated at from
two to four hours, it is stated that
neither vessel will visit the Cuban capt.
tai.

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 vessels
will go to Matanzas and Sagua La
Grande. 1t is said an emergency exists
that makes it necessary to dispatch pro-

starving. The vessels to be sent will
be the Montgomery to Matanzas and
the Nashville to Sagua La Grande.
