(First Regular Session.)
 SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March 28-Thousands of people floclled to the capitol in an- ticipation of hearing the Maine court of inquiry report, and but a moiety of them gained admission either to the galleries of the senate chamber or the house of representatives.
 At 12;l2, on the demand of Mir. Nor. gan (Ala,), Nice-President Hobert laid the presidents message and accom-. panying report before the senate, and it's reading was begun. Both docu- ments were listened to with the closest attention, and at the close of the read. ing were referred, with the test imony, to the committee on foreign relations.

These boilers could not have caused the ex- plosion of the ship The four forward boilers have since been found by the divers and are in fair condition.
 On the night of the destruction of the Maine everything had been reported secure for the night at D m, by reliable persons. through the proper authorities to the commanding off, cer. Al the time the Maine was destroyed the ship was quiet and, therefore. least liable to accident caused by movements from those on board.

EXpLoSIoNs.

I The destruction of the Maine occurred at 9:40 D m. on the fifteenth day of February, 1898, ill 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 q distinctly different character, with very short but dis tinet 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 n ore in the nature of a report like that or 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 explsion of two or more of the forward maga- zines of the Maine

At frame i8 the vertical keeli broken in two and the keel bent into an angle smailr to the angle formed for the outside plates This break is about six feet below the surface of the water and about thirty feet above it's normal position.
 In the opinion of the court this effect could have been produced only by the explosion of a mine situated under the bottom of the ship al about frame 1s and somewhat on the port side of the ship.
 The conclusions of the court are:
 That the loss of the Maine was not in any re- spect due to fault or negligence on the part of any of the officers or members of her crew. That the ship was destroyed by the explosion of q submarine mine. which caused the partial explosion of two CT more of her forward maga- zines; and,
 That no evidence has been obtainabe fixing the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine upon any person or persons.
 have directed that the finding of the court of inquiry and the views of this government thereon be communicated to the government Of her majesty. the queen. and 1 do not permit myself to doubt that the sense of justice of the Spanish nation will dictate q course of action suggested by honor and the friendly relations of the two governments
 It was the duty of the executive to advise the congress of the result and in the meantime de- Hbcrate consideration is invoked.

CONDITION OF THE WRECK.

1 The evidence bearing on this being prin- cipally obtained from divers, did not enable the court to form definite conclusion as To the condition of the wreck, although it was estab- lshed that the after part of the ship prac- tieally 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 tue testimony:
 The portion of the port side of the protective deck, which extends from about frame 30 to about frame A. was blown up aft, and over to port. The main deck from about frame 30 to about frame Il, blown up aft. and slightly over to Starboard. folding the forward part of thc middle superstructure 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.

Navy Department Unconcerned.

NmCOmCeEmeu.
WASHINGTON, June 2l-The officials of
the Navy Department were not deeply con-
cerned over the report from Hong Kong
that the Chinese authorities had ordered the
United States dispatch boat Zafiro out of
Chinese waters without allowing her to
take supplies to Dewey The reason for
this unconcern was conviction that the
cruiser Charleston and three big transports
have already reached Manila carrying a
large quantity of just such supplies the
American fleet there would most require.
Then, too, it was felt that the Zafiro had al
ready been treated with consideration and
had probably obtained all the privileges to
which she was entitled in Chinese waters.
1t was said at the Navy Department that
nothing had been heard from the admiral
himself since dispatch received from
Hong Kong day before yesterday, brought
to that port by the Zafiro. AS the dispatch
boat left Dewey about Thursday last at the
latest she could, of course, bring no news of
the arrival of these transports She did
bring, however, news of the great success
attending the insurgents arms and notice of
what was being done towards forming a
provisional government by the insurgents
under Aguinaldo. From the reception ac-
corded this news it would seem that the Of
ficials see in it no cause for apprehending
a disturbance of the plans framed for the
government of General Merritt when he as
sumes military command over the Philip
pines Therefore it is only fair to assume
that Aguinaldo is proceeding in perfect har-
mony with Admiral Dewey, who in turn has
received notice of the Navy Departments S
intentions respecting the Philippines.

waters Immediately. He refused to allow
the vessel to take mails or cargo of any
kind. 1t is thought that this action was in

order to ship the necessary stores. To avoid

THE American supply ship zafiro, which
was sent here from Manila by Admiral
Dewey to procure provisions and other nee
essaries for the fleet, and which anchored a
few miles from here in Chinese waters, has
