Washington. March 28.-Probably
never since the days of the late war have
so many officials gathered at the war
and navy departments as were present
yesterday. Dispatches that came over
night regarding the movements of ships
and other matters were received. and as
many of them required prompt answers
In the present emergency. replies were
forwarded. Secretary Long, however.
did not appear during the day. as most
of the matters requiring attention were
those that could be as well attended to
by bureau officers and their assistants.
Mrs. Long has been Ill for some time. and
the secretary in part shook Off official
cares and spent the major portion of the
day with her. In the afternoon the Sec
retary drove to the navy yard and in
spected the dynamite cruiser. Vesuvius.

SPANS POSITION DEFINED.

Madrid. March 28.-9eneral Woodford
has received the reply OF the Spanish
government TO the American memoran-
dirm of March 23. II says that the gov
ernment cannot agree with the con-
clusions the American government has
drawn from Inaccurate Information,
that does not. tally with the recent ac-
tivity and progress Of the military op-
erations IN Cuba and the visible popu-
larfty and progress Of the new colonial
institutions. which have been Loyalty
accepted and are supported by even the
old adversaries OF home rule in the
colony.
Spain. the reply continues. cannot
naturally admit the interference which
10 foreshadowed In the American note.
and deprecates the sending OF official
relief and Srar vessels to Cuba as being
the very elements that have retarded
the pacification Of the colony. Spain
reminds the American government of
all the concessions she has made to pre-
serve peaceful relations and to concili-
ate the United States, the last proof be-
ing her willingness to submit the con-
ficting commission reports as to the
Maine to arbitration.
In conclusion. the Spanish note shows
that the government believes II has
reached the extreme limit of conces-
sions compatible with the honor and
dignity Of Spain. and will not admit en-
croachments on her rights Of sovereignty

THE REPORT SUBMITTED.

Washington, March 2S.-Those wko

Maine report followed by a wild furore
Of oratory were disappointed. The re-
port and accompanying message. after
being read. were referred to the COM
mittee on foreign affairs. Mr.. Hit.
chairman of the committee. was recog-
nized by the speaker to make this mo-
tion, which Is not debatable. 1t was the
wish. Of the president expressed to the
leaders OF both parties that this course
be followed. and the program was
acquiesced in by all irrespective OF party.
Adjournment was then voted as a mark
OF respect to Congressman Simpkins.
The same course was followed In the
senate with the report. What further
discussion there may be during the week
on the Cuban situation will depend so
largely upon further developments that
II Is useless TO discuss the probabilities.
IL the president should make a recon-
mendation. or the committee on foreign
relations report. the senate at once
would become the center OF an animated
discussion. the result of which would be
some radical declaration against Spain.
The problem now is to hold the express
sion OF opinion down to the minimum

dent and the deliberations OF the COM
mittee. There Is very little heart in the

COURT OF INQUIRY.
Abstract OF the Report Submitted Today
to the Congress.

Abstract of the Report Submitted Today
to the Congress.
Washington. March 2s-The Asso-
ciated Press presents herewith a COM
plete abstract of the court of inquiry
which investigated the wrecking Of the
Maine. This abstract is made from the
report itself. access to which was OBJ
tanned despite official secrecy unparal-
leled In the handling OF official papers.
The report is made up as follows:
First--7'he court finds that at the time
or the explosion the battleship Maine
was lying i'm five and one-half TO six
fathoms of water.
Second-The discipline aboard the ship
was excellent; everything slowed ac-
cording to orders-ammunition, guns,
stores. etc. The temperature Of the
magazines at SIP. m. was normal, except
in the after 10-inch magazine. and that
did not explode.
Third-The explosion occurred at 9:40
o'clock on the evening of Feb. Is. There
were two explosions with a very short
interval between them: the ship lifted
on the first explosion.
Fourth-The court can form no def
mite opinion of the condition from the
wrecking divers evidence.
Fifth-Technical details of wreckage
from which the court deduces that a
mine was exploded under the ship on
the port side.
Sixth-The explosion was due to no
fault of those on board.
Seventh-The opinion Of the court is
that the explosion OF the mine caused
the explosion of two magazines.
Eighth--The court declares that II
cannot find evidence to fix RESPONSE
bility.
The normal temperature of the large
forward magazines at s o'clock, only an
hour and 40 minutes before the ex-
plosion. disposes of the question Of acci-
dental combustion within these maga-
zines. While the court holds that these
magazines did not explode from in
ternal causes. they nevertheless are OF
the opinion that the explosion OF the
mine under the port side OF the ship
caused the explosion of the two maga-
zines.
This will explain the remarkable de-
struction wrought. the explosion thus
being shown to have combined the force
OF a mine without and two magazines
within. The two explosions which the
court finds to have occurred with a very
short interval between them, are an ad-
ditional detail. showing that two forces
operated in causingth the destruction. The
finding that the ship lifted on the first
explosion indicates an external source,
and one of tremendous power to be able
to lift a battleship of thousands Of tons.
The character of the wreckage sustains
the view taken by some experts shortly
after the disaster that the force OF the
explosion was exerted from port to star
board.
The feature OF the report of the deep
est interest to the navy is the complete
exoneraticn of Captain Sigsbee and all
on board contained in the second and
sixth findings. which declare, tho
disaster to be due to no fault of those
on board. Neither Spain nor the Span
fish are mentioned throughout.

SPIRE PAINTING.
Working on Central Union Steep

lS w I'LL
C. E. Smith has finished painting the
roof Of Central Union Church, and is
now engaged in the dangerous and in
steresting task of applying DiXOn's
sGraphite Mixture to the tall steeple
that points above the so foot tower.
Smith has run "a feet of ladder up this
spire. getting it in place by manipulate
ing lines put out through hole 20 feet
from the top. Smith has considerable
engineering on hand yet to reach the
weather vane, but confidently declares
his purpose of making a thorough job
of his contract. The roof itself was no
easy thing, it having a slant of about
45 degrees. Smith passes ropes from
ladder to ladder and then does his
bo's'n's chair. He has an audience
about every hour of the day and many
wonder at his GOODNESS and nerve. The
painter has had some experience of this
sort before, having been one of the
workmen on the Ferris wheel at the
Chicago Worlds Fair. He was inter
rupted by the rainy season in this
work, but will finish in a week or 50
Smith says this is the most trying mid
air work he has yet undertaken. Us
uaIIy on jobs of this kind there is &
chance to utilize the roof, but in this
instance the operator is compelled tc
stick to the tower and spire. The work
must be done now in a most thorough
manner, as it. has been guaranteed II

Decorations.

That the juvenile mind must be con-
fined to literary levels like those Of
the ordinary graded school readers is
quite disproved in this generation,
when the classics are brought within
the comprehension of children, and
an early entrance made into the realms
OF poetry and art The time which was
in other days devoted to the rules Of
grammar and the alphabet, is now
spent upon correct expression and read
ing words at sight. In like manner
many juvenile jingles have been re-
placed by the attractions that early
develop a taste for the best in litera-
ture, and this without risk Of failure
to fascinate the little learner.
In this way portion of the young
community has just been sounding the
depth of Hiawatha. A peep into the
schoolroom of Mr.. and Mrs. Dodge on
Emma street Friday morning would
have shown wealth of greenery and
flowers, a picture of the author OF
Hiawatha wreathed in garlands; the
SQUIRREL the canoe, the wigwam, the
bow and arrows-all these visible in
drawings or in clay modelling, while
towering over the heads of the little
ones was the green corn, old Monda-
min, for
The maize field grew and ripened
| Till it stood in all the spIendor
Of its garments green and yellow,
Of it's tassels and its pIumage,
And the maize ears full and shining
Cleaned from bursting sheaths of YER
dure.
It was a very pretty sight to see the
children as in various ways they told
the legends made famous by Longfel-
low. From the original text, by COM
positions, in little printed book COM
piled from the writing of the younger
classes, by recitation and by words set
to music, Hiawatha was reviewed. How
''the birch canoe was builded,' how he
"wrestled with Mondamin,' and the
various other events associated with
the one who at last sailed into the
purple sunset, to the land of the Here
after
Fifteen little girls in green sang the
song; a class of boys told about the
famous roebuck and 'the fatal, singing
| arrow" Sweet lips and bright faces
made the lights and shadows Of the
poem doubly attractive. Parents and
friends who had gathered to hear as a
whole, what they had heard in parts
in their various homes for weeks past
seemed not only to enjoy the progress
made in letters, but that broader edu-
cation which a study Of the kind is
bound to include. Fifty children shared
| the Hiawatha study, and when the
program was quite complete, one of the
little maids added to the joy of all the
rest, by a feast of good things which
her parents kindly furnished in he1
name.

complete settlement Of the late
trouble between the cattlemen adjoin
ing the reservation and the Indians of
the agency over the question of stray
cattle on the reserve. For several years
it has been the practice of several OF
the larger cattle companies to drive
their herds over the line on to the res
ervation to avoid taxation. Other cattle
have drifted or strayed from their own
ranges. Agent Clapp thinks that fu-
ture trouble will be avoided. The stock
men have been notified to drive their
stock from the reservation and have
been warned to keep them off. The de-
partment has decided to build five
