WHAT MASON WOULD DO.
Took Every Ship in the
Navy to Do 1t.

Washington, March Ex-senator Mason,
of Illinois, was at the navy department
during the morning. and was one of the
first to learn that the Spanish torpedo flo
tilla has left the Canaries. He talked with
the officers on this move. and later. when
asked what he thought of this action by
Spain, he said:
1T means that they are coming to this
side either to fight the insurgents or to
fight us. The insurgents are in the noun
tains, and the torpedo boats will hardly
be used to fight them, unless they succeed
in putting wings on them. That seems to
narrow down the purpose of their coming.
l do not know what the naval authorities
intend to do about this move, but IL l had
my way that torpedo fiotilla would turn
back If it took every ship in the United
States navy to stop them"
Key West, Fla, March 24.-The sailing of
has caused much comment here. A high
naval officer said tonight: Spain has
perfect right, of course, to send torpedo
boats to her own colony. Still, we all know
why they are coming SO near to Cuba. This
display Of force will justify similar move
ment on our part. When We do this, you
may be sure it will not be a movement of
small proportions.
Il cannot conceive that Spain would be
so suicidal in her policy as to take any
step which would make war likely. Should
followed by the United States would be a
blockade of Cuba This could be done in a
few days. and would result in the quick
capitulation Of the island. There would be
no necessity to land troops as Cuba is de-
pendent upon imports for her existence"

MARK A. BUSY MAN.
Lon Hudson Talks of One of the
Prominent Members of Maine
Board of Iuuufry

Lieutenant Commander Adolph Mark,
who was judge advocate of the board of
inquiry in the Maine disaster. was flag
lieutenant of the Worcester under Admiral
Scott when the famous Virginius was re-
turned TO the United States in 1s73," said
Lon Hudson yesterday. Mr.. Hudson was at
that time ships printer for Admiral Scott
and was aboard the Worcester the flagship
of the squadron. when the Virginius was
returned by the Spanish officers The squad
ron was then lying off Key West and Dry
Tortugas. and more than forty warships
and monitors We're assembled there The
European and the South and North At
lantic squadrons had been called together
at those points TO prepare for the trouble
that seemed certain TO follow the Virginius
affair.
Merrill Miller. who is now one of the
commanders in the navy, was The execu-
tive officer of the Worcester" continued
Mr.. Hudson; land was associated with
Lieutenant Mark very much in the busi-
ness affairs of the ship. 1t looks as if they
had both made good progress since that
time, judging from, their present positions
and the showing of confidence the depart
ment has in them. as evidenced by their
selection in the Maine affair"

FINANCIERS WANT NO WAR.
Movement on Foot I'm London to
Bring About q Settlement Be-
tween Spain and America

tween Spain and America
London, March 24-The imminence Of
the Cuban crisis has prompted financiers to
make efforts to avert war. A movement
to this end is on foot in Lombard street,
and American bankers, who are leading
it. are supposed to have sympathy and
perhaps the cooperation of the Roths-
oring to secure the influence of financiers
and governments. representing to them the
damage to the commerce of all nations
which war would involve. The finan-
ciers are willing to invest literally to
prevent war. but apparently they are un-
able to devise plan promising success.
The American bankers tell the diplomats
that If the United States demands an in
demnity and Spain is willing to pay, finan-
ciers will gladly furnish the funds.
The best informed diplomats believe the
Spanish cabinet and dynasty dare not risk
the wrath of the populace which would in
evitably follow acquiescence in a demand
of the United States for reparation for the
loss of the Maine.
Prominent financiers calling upon the
United States ambassador, Colonel John
Hay, to seek inside information regarding
the political situation, have been told by
the ambassador that he has not been in
formed as to the contents of the report of
the United States naval court of inquiry
Ffnanciers are also seeking to bring
pressure upon Washington through diplo-
mats, but 1t is believed they have met with
little success.
The Spanish and Cuban firms and finan-
cial houses in London generally agree in
expressing the opinion that there will be no
war.

chased recently from the estate of Ogden

yard, being rapidly transformed into a

The navy department is informed of the
departure of the cruiser Cincinnati and the
Sunboats Castine and Wilmington, from
Fort Antonio. Jamaica, last evening. 1t has
been reported that they have just gone
off on short cruise and will return to the
Jamaica port. What is regarded as a more
probable theory as to their movements.
however, is that when heard from they
Will be at Key West or some other port
in the United States. They are not partic-
ularly strong ships, and in their present
position they might possibly fall prey to
the more powerful Spanish fleet in Cuban
waters in the event of a conflict.
1nasmuch as considerations of this char
acter resulted in the recall of the cruiser
San Francisco and the gunboats Helena
and Bancroft from the European station,
1t is not unlikely that the same course will
be followed in the case of the three ves-
sells last reported at Port Antonio, whose
position is regarded by naval strategists as
even more exposed and dangerous in the
event of hostilites than was the case with
the European squadron of about the same
size and power. The Cincinnati and Cast
inc were attached to the South Atlantic
station and their withdrawal for service in
the home station leaves the navy without
a single representative in South American
waters. just as is the case with the Eur
opean station. The arrival of the six yes
sells named will add greatly to the strength
of the home squadron.

HOPES WAR CAN BE AVOIDED.
the Terrible Suffering a Conflict
Would Entail.

Milwaukee. Wis. March 24-General
William Booth. commander-in-chief of the
Salvation Army OF the World, said he
hoped TO see the Maine controversy settled
in some other way than by war While he
can understand that it might be the duty
of the United States TO assist Cuba, he says
that war would bring suffering to many
thousand innocent people who are not now
in any way connected with the troubles in
Cuba. As to what England would do in a
similar circumstance, the general said: 'If
Spain had blown up 4 warship OF England,
destroying English property, taking En-
and England was convinced it was an act
of the government then England would
show that English blood is not water"

DAY DENIES JING0 RUM0Rs.
New York Papers Printed Alleged
Statements Made Entirely From
Whole Cloth.

Washington, March A-The attention Of
Assistant Secretary of State Day was to-
night called to a story printed in New
York this afternoon. which represented him
as having attended conference of Re
publican senators last night, and, speaking
for the president, declared that the Spanish
situation had gone beyond diplomatic ad-
justment and advocating forcing the free
dom Of Cuba by armed Intervention. Judge
Day does not usually take the trouble TO
deny many of the stories set afloat as to
his beliefs and utterances, but this was
such a pointed statement. purporting to de-
fine the position of the administration. that
he did make denial.
He said: Il did not say. to anyone and
have never for a moment thought, that the
present relations between Spain ard the
United States were beyond the hope of
diplomatic adjustment. l have not advocat-
ed sending Cuban relief supplies in war
vessels. These supplies will be sent in mer-
chant vessels. and do not apprehend the
slightest objection from the Spanish gov
ernment. l did not say that this govern
ment should intervene at once and force
Cuban freedom and have never advocated
such a course. AS to my saving that the
administration had semi-official informa-
ton from the naval court of inquiry fix
ing the blame Of the Maine explosion on
Spain. it is as untrue as all the rest of
the story. I have had no such information
to convey to anyone"
