Although the officers Of the naval board
Of inquiry preserve an impenetrable re-
serve, The World correspondent learns
that some of the best naval experts now
believe that the explosion was the re-
suit of treachery. They do not believe
that Spanish officials were part of the
conspiracy. From the evidence now in
their possession they believe the Span-
ish government, General Blanco, and
all his military subrodinates were guilt
less alike of knowledge of or participa-
ton in the crime. 1t is believed to have
been perpetrated by a fanatic.
Naval officers fear that when the facts
are known 1t may be impossible to re-
strain public sentiment. They do not
expect any public revelations, or any
radical change in the situation for a
week. Consul General Lee formally ad-
vised Americans not necessarily de-
