The Testimony sent In. Too.

WASHINGTON. March 2s.-The detcrmi-
nation was reached early in the day to
send in the testimony taken before the
Maine board Of inquiry to accompany
the report. Members of the foreign re-
lations committee OF the senate made
vigorous protest against the former
programme, saying that it would be
great deal of farce to refer to that
committee the findings of the court and
withhold the testimony. The committee
desired the testimony at the earliest
possible moment. 1t was also pointed
out that the withholding of the testi-
mony would be construed by some per-
sons TO mean that an attempt was be-
ing made to keep from congress and
the people testimony which was re-
garded as sensational. The first plan
adopted, if carried out. of having the
testimony printed before being sent TO
congress. would not have DELAYED to
any great extent its consideration. as
all the documents will have TO De
printed before taken ur in the COM
mittee.

An Erroneous Impression Corrected.

WASHINGTON. March 2s.--One Of the
main points brought out by the testi-
mony in the Maine case. which will
go to congress to-day with the re-
port of the board Of inquiry. will corr
rect an important impression which
has prevailed all over the country.
The testimony will prove that the bat
tleship's position was not changed after
she entered the harbor. She was
moored to buoy and remained there
until blown up. The statement has
been made repeatedly in the press that
her position was changed the night be-
fore the explosion by the direction Of
the harbor master of Havana.

On the night OF the destruction OF the Maine
everything had been reported secure for the

EXPLOSIONS.
The destruction Of the Maine occurred at
$40 p. m. on the fifteenth day OF February
1893 in the harbor OF Havana. Cuba being at the
time moored at the same buoy to which she had
been taken upon her arrival.
There were two explosions of n distinctly
different character with very short but dis
tinct interval between them. and the forward
part OF the ship was lifted TO marked degree at
the time OF the first explosion.
The first explosion was more in the nature OF
report like that OF q gun; while the second
explosion was more open prolonged and OF
greater volume. This second explosion was in
the opinion OF the court, caused by the partial
explosion Of two or more OF the forward maya
zines Of the Maine.

& The evidence bearing on this. being prin-
court to form q definite conclusion rs to the
condition of the wreck. although IL was estab-
iishcd that the after part OF the ship was prac-
tically intact and sank In that condition very
few minutes after the destruction OF the for
ward part
The following facts In regard to the forward
part Of the ship are, however, established by
the testimony:
The portion Of the port side Of the protective
deck. which extends from about frame 30 to
about frame II. was blown up aft, and over to
port The main dccf from about frame 30 10
about frame a. was blown up aft. and slightly
over 10 starboard. folding the forward part Of
the middle supcrstructure over and on top OF
the after part
This was in the opinion OF the court, caused
BY the partial explosion OF two or more OF the
forward magazines OF the Maine.

The Answer vague AMID Unsati.factor,

: WAsIIISGToS. April speaking oil
SPANS reply, received last night, the
Post says:
1T is not what she president, hoping
for the best, had expected. 1t is. at
most, vague and unsatisfactory note
from Minister Woodford. dcvoting
more space to his impressions OF what
tie Spanish government viii and will
not do than formal expression from
the Spanish ministry of its own posi-
ton.
Spain does not accede to the Amcri.
can demands. neither does she posi-
lively and finally reject them. The
question is still left open for further
negotiations. According to the tradi-
tional policy of Spanish diplomacy
more delay is requested and much eva
sion is manifested.
One of the reasons for seeking fur.
Their time is the fact that the ministry
cannot act without the ratification OF
the cortes, which is not now in session.
Counter propositions are also suggest
ed, rather than plainly stated. which
look to the side-tracking of the main
issue which is the immediate and com.
plete independence of the island Of
Cuba.
1t is now a question with the presi.
dent whether he will continue to treat
with Spain further along the lines sug.
gested in the dispatch and grant the
additional time which is required.
No message will he sent to congress
to-day. The reply of the Spanish gov
eminent will be considered at the
meeting of the cabinet this morning,
and then il will be decided whether an
ultimatum will be sent to Spain. Up
to this time no ultimatum. in the dip
