CABINET CONVINCED.
Satisfied That the Explosion on the
Maine Was an Accident.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-The ONLY
absentees from todays cabinet meet
ing were Secretaries Sherman and AL
ger. During the meeting the disaster
10 the Maine was the principal topic
of discussion. Although the members
OF the cabinet await with interest the
result Of the inquiry into the cause OF
the disaster, there remains scarcely a
doubt IN their minds that It was an
accident purely, and such as might
happen at any time
This view of the matter. however.

short of most searching investigation
into all the facts, present and remote,
that may have any possible bearing

ray of light. Until facts are shown to
the contrary, the president Will assume
that the explosion came from within.

Satisfaction Over a Race With Vale

NEW YORK. Feb. 1s-The news that Cor

Joy at all the colleges. This was especially
true at Ithaca, where there has been the
greatest anxiety during the last two months
Prof. Wheeler was the happiest man in
New York, His telegram to Coach Courtney
read as follows:
Cornell rows Yale and Harvard at New
London June 3 or June "a; Columbia and

CornelIs representatives were instructed to
decline every offer for race unless some as
suranees were given for the future This evil
Fenuy means that either Harvard or Yale
has given Cornell the privilege Of naming the
conditions for next years race.
President Wheeler said tonight that the
most unsatisfactory thing about the arrange
ment, as far as Cornell is concerned is the
tact that she will be compelled to row two
races over two different courses in order to
meet ell her competitors. This is a task that
both Yale and Harvard did their utmost to
avoid. and It will certainly be a hardship for
the Ithacans The fact that the two races
will be only week apart adds still more to
this hardship.

cornered race means the passing Of Pough-
keepsie for good as a scene of the most I'M

HAVANA. Feb. 1S.-On the night of
the disaster Capt. sigsbee requested
Admiral Manterola to station boats
around the wreck of the Maine so as
to prevent any one from approaching
it without official leave. AS result,
only those with special permits are al
lowed TO get near the wreck. Capt.
Sigsbee himself, going in the early
morning to the scene of the disaster,
was warned off, not being recognized,
and was obliged TO return and get a
formal permit from the naval author
tiles.
Admiral ManteroIa refuses to allow

pa pers to make any investigation near
the wreck, at least until Capt. Sigsbee
shall have finished his official inyesti-
cation.
This morning Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright, Lieut. Holman and Chief
Engineer Howell went with divers TO
search for the bodies OF Lieut. Jenkins
and Assistant Engineer Merritt, but

make the search, and they returned to
the consulate and lodged a formal
complaint with Consul General Lee.

tween Capt. Sigsbee and Gen. Blanco
was that the American commander IS
to be allowed to use any divers, even
the divers sent here by the American
newspapers, in his official investiga-
ton.

FAVORITES
 BOWLED OVER TwO-Year-Old Maud Fer quson the Only Win
 ming Choice.
Tom Ryan's Ace Downed Par themax in a Common
 GallOp.
Morinqa Finally Left the Maider CIass-Odds On Beaten a Nose
 by Hohenzollern.

The fine weather attracted a good sized attendance to the races at Oak land yesterday and the spectators were confronted with some large fields from which to pick winners. The bookmak- CTS had the best end of it, though. for the two year old lilly Maud Ferguson was the only favorite to land the coin.
 F. A. Finnegan was the longest priced winner of the afternoon, taking the opening event at odds of 10 to 1.
 The sport was marked by nothing of a startling nature unless 1t was one or two very breezy rides furnished by the Knights" but they are so common that they have ceased to be a novelty.
 There were twenty starters in the opening five furlong scramble. and 1t looked like taking a shot at the moon to pick the winner. Those in on the know hammered the odds against Los Rosos down from $ to and nearly cashed. The hot thing" trailed Nun comar to the stretch, where she as- stunned the lead, only to be beaten out by P. A. Flannegan, a 10 to 1 shot, piloted by Mike Hennessy, and Sleepy Jane was a sleepy third.
 After finishing inside the money in numerable times Moringa finally got out of the maiden class. The Sobrante gelding went to the post to 1 chance in the betting on the five furlong spin following, and, leading from the jump, won very handily from Aprona, a 12 to shot with Stevens in the saddle, which for the first time ran in the colors of W. L. Stanfield. Cipriano, the second choice, was third. Spencer s ride on the hot favorite, Baracan, was a walnut hard to crack.
 Garnet Ferguson, after long siege, finally broke the ice with his Prince Royal lilly, Maud Ferguson in the two year old event. Thorpe had the leg up. and, showing clear of the field soon after the start, won after a hard tussle the last part less than a length in ad- vance of the 50 to 1 shot Ojai, son of Sid, ridden by Ruiz. The winner was played from fours down to to 2.
 The big chestnut colt Odds On came to grief again in the mile selling run, fourth on the card. He was in with Clawson and ninety-one pounds in the saddle, and was played as though the race was over. going to the post at even money. After making the running and looking all over a winner he was chal- lenged by Spencer astride HOhenZOl- Tern the last furlong. and both driving hard the favorite lost the verdict by nose in 1:4219. Benamela, heavily played, refused to extend himself any part.
