KEY WEST, March s3.-Lieutenant
Commander Mark left Key West yes.
terday afternoon on his way to Wash.
ington by the way of Miami, taking
with him the report of the court on the
disaster.
Commander Mark brought the re.
port ashore from the Nashville yester.

Commander Mark spent several hours
IN its further revision.
All the officers of the Maine except
Paymaster's Clerk Mccarthy have re-.
ceived orders to leave for their homes
and to await orders, as is the case of
other officers who left here last week.
This is considered to be evidence that
the court will not require the corrobo.

thought few days ago.
Before leaving Key West Commander
Mark said nothing could be given out
about the work of the court of inquiry
or its finding. Personally, the com.

Safe Central Committee Meeting

Huron, S. O., March l6.-The popu-
list state central committee met here
this evening with full attendance.
every county bang represented.
The meeting was called to order in
:he city by Chairman Es,abrook, and
on motion by Judge Moore of Dead
wood the committee proceeded to select
the place for the next convention.
After ~ sharp contest Aberdeen was
| chosen on I've third ballot
On mutlo! o. Judge Moore seconded by
}. I. Cogan q! Sioux Falls, the meeting
place was made unanimous.
Short speeches of thanks were made
by Joe Myers and Father Haire of
Aberdeen, and responses were made by
Z. L. Bates, Speaker Colvin and Judge
Moore, after which, on motion of H. w.
Smith, it was declared, after sharp
contest, that the convention date
should be June @.
There was sharp fight precipitated
over resolution introduced bv Judge
Moore favoring cooperation of the sill
yer forces and inviting the silver re-
plbllcans and democrats to hold con-
ventions at Aberdeen on the slime date
for which the populists called their con-
ventiOn.
H. L. Loucks made vigorous fight
against the adoption of such resolution,
in which he was supported by Father
Hare. After a profuse discussion, in
which it was evident that the sense of
the committee was for cooperation, it
was decided to express sentiments of
cooperation and allow the democrats
and silver republicans free to select
time and place for their conventions,
feeling that it might be presumptious
at this time to indicate the proper
means for cooperation. The following
resolutions were then i unanimously
adopted.
I'VE, the state central committee of
the peoples party of the state of South
Dakota, in conference assembled. while
discIaiming authority to speak for the
party, are Of the opinion the greater
principles to which we adhere and for
which we are earnestly fighting will be
hes: served by union of all the forces in
favor of the reform principles, and
with thate nd in view We invite the CO.
operation OF all such energies"
A resolution was introduced by Fl. E.
Parker, requesting our representatives.
in congress TO oppose the issuance Of
bonds. The resolution was unanimous
ly adopted.
Mr.. Loucl1s then introduced aresolu-
tion ms ructing that s.a'e officers be
prohibited from taking part in the con

results were concerned, and was a most
signal and complete victory for co OPP

There Must Be an End to the Present
Situation In Cuba.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The cabi.
net meeting yesterday lasted something
over an hour and was devoted ex-
clusively to the Spanish situation in
general and to the forthcoming report
in particular. The president was firm
and determined that there must come
an end to the present situation in Cuba
Secretary Long authorized the state.
ment that it was the understanding be.
fore the cabinet that the report would
reach the capital Thursday Or Friday,
that it was very voluminous and that
the publication and transmission to
congress would not occur until Monday
Or Tuesday, that the president Won d
require that much time to give the
document the mature consideration that
its momcntous character required.
Other cabinet officers stated that the
general plan included the sending OF
a presidential message with the report,
stating that Spain had been called upon
to make suitable response to the case
presented by the court Of inquiry.
While the cabinet associates Of the
president maintained their usual re.
serve as to the exact character Of theil
deliberations, yet it was conceded that
the discussion proceeded Oh the theory
that the coming report would be that
the destruction of the Maine was not
due to accident. There is no doubt
that substantial unaninlity exists be.
tween the president and all his cabinet,
both as to the Maine question and Cuba.
The Spanish minister, Senior Polo,
has requested that Il statement be made
that reports attributing to him expires
sions Oh the subject of independence
were unwarranted and untrue Senior
Polo says he has not discussed this or
any other OF the pending questions.
During the afternoon the bureau O,
navigation posted the notice that The
Massachusetts had sailed from Key
West for Hampton roads, following the
Texas, which left Monday. About the
same time Commodore Schley, who had
been suggested as the probable com
mauaer of the flying squadron conferred
ct Hampton roads, called at the depart.
ment and had a conference with AS.
sistant Secretary Roosevelt.
The navy department. continues to
keep informed as to the Spanish tor
pedo fleet now stopping at the Canaries
Word Of lis departure has not vet
reached the department.. 1t can be
stated positively that the report that
President Mckinley has protested
against the coming Of this fotilla is
IN warranted ; there was no such pro-
test.
