perts that a big torpedo or mine, aided
by 500 pounds of saluiing powder in the
reserve magazine next 10 the big ma2a

results, both as regards extent and di-

ings Of facts. The circumstances of the
present case are 80 unusual, involving
the relations OF two governments, that
the report may be confined to findings of
fact, without the usual opinion OF the
court. When the inquiry is concluded
the report accompanied by all the evil
dence and exhibits, must be authcnti-
Gated by Captain Sampson and Judge
Advocate Mark. 1t Is then forwarded
to Admiral Slcard, the regulations re-
quiring that 1t be Submitted for the
consideration of the officer converting

admiral of the fleet. There is no speci-
fic provision as TO the revision or ap-
proval which he ,3 TO give it, and the
Endorsement Of Admiral Sicard will de-
pend upon the circumstances of the
case, probaSly being formal with view
TO its early transmission to the Navy
Department. The admiral then for
wards it to the office of the Judge Ad-
vocate General, where it becomes per-
nanent record The Secretary of the
Navy, and ultimately the President
passes on the opinions of the court, but
as rule the findings of fact stand
without approval.
APPLICATIONS FOR DNLISTAI ENrT
The officials of the War Department
have completed all the preliminary ar
ranSements for the immediate eXecu-
ton of the BILL which IS expected to be-
come 4 law within the next few days,
providing FOR two additional regiments
of artillery. There will be no difficulty
whatever in securing the men, as appli-
cations for enlistment have been re-
ceivcd far In excess of the number re-
uuired. viz, 1.Gl0 men. Great care will
be taken IN thc~recruiting and only the
best men will be accepted. Under the
law all the new men must be citizens of
the United States. II is probable that
the ranks will be recruited to 4 large
extent from men who have already serv-
ed one or more terms in the army. With
the two new regiments there will be
seven regiments of artillery. and the
total strength Of the navy, including the
hospital corps, ordnance and engineer
battalions and the West Point dctaCh
ment, will be Increased to nearly $1,000
men. The new organization will result
in the promotion of two lieutenant col
onels, four majors. ten capt ins, thirty
four first licu;cnants, tn! ce second licu
tenants and will absorb the eighteen
additional second lcutcnants of imam
try. No vacancies will be created. how
ever and no appointments will have to
be made.

HARBOR OF HAVANA
Washington, Feb. %, 1898

Secretary Long enjoyed Il sound sleep
time. and in consequence he felt 50
much refreshed this morning that he
decided TO abandon his proposed alb
iscnce from the Navy Department ana
continue his duties, so he was early al
his desk, and in consultation with AS
sstant Secretary Roosevelt and Cap
tain Crowninshicld, chief of the naviga-
tion bureau. As t6 the outlook, he said
he thought things were looking much
better. lie said the public ought not
to be under any misapprehension with
regard 20 naval movements; that so far
;hey had mostly been the ordinary dis
positions which are made from time to
time. The attention of naval officers
has been strongly attracted to the state
ment, made by Representatives OF the
spanish government to the effect that
there were no mines or torpedOes OF any
kind hi Havana harbor. II can be said
that this statement exactly agrees with
the inquiries that have BEEN under
'way for many months by agents of our
governments for so far, it is said, they
have been unable 'ro find the slightest
evidence of the existence of any plan OF
defense IN the harbor by means OF mines
or torpedocs much less to locate them
as has been reported In some quarters
Officials of the Navy Department say
that the effect OF this statement, If II
is to be accepted as conclusive on that
point, is almost certain to negative the
supposltion that the disaster resulted
from other than accidental causes, as
the unanimous testimony Of experts
here, based on the history of torpedo
work. is to the effect that no single tor
pcdo of any type could have caused
the terrific wreck of the Maine.
In pursuit of details. some of the
ordnance officers. acting upon the theory
that the large ten inch magazine for
ward was not exploded, have been look
ing into the contents Of the smaller and
