MORGAN ON
THE QUESTION.

That Spain Blew up the Maine
Either Through Active COnnivance
Or'her Inability 10 Suppress Those
Who did the Deed.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Morgan, of Alabama, q membor of the
c ,mmittee on foreign relations to
which the Maine report will be re-
ferred Monday, in speaking on what
would follow, said today:
'There is only one conclusion about
the Maine explosion today-that Spain
did it. She did it either by active con-
nlvance or through her inability to
suppress those who conspired to do the
deed. One is as bad as the other. We
can't afford to aiiiOw sn authority to re-
main In Cuba that is either capable of
doing this or incapable of preventing
1t. That Is the Judgment of q million
people. We will fight and settle it
quickly"

in the following terms:
SIN all essential respects the Military
Institute was little behind West Point.
The discipline was as strict, the drill

was administered on a military footing.
No pains were spared either by the
State or by the faculty to maintain the
peculiar character of the school, and
the battalion, although the members
were hardly likely to see service, was
as carefully trained as if each private
in the ranks might one day become q
