TIME TO INTERVENE.
Senator ThurstOn Says Action Should
he Taken NoxY or Never

BE Taken Now or Never.
OMAHA, Neb. March 21.-"If the time for
| the Intervention of the United States in the
| affairs of Cuba is not here now it never
will come,'' said Senator Thurston to a re-
porter this morning. "I wired Senator Allen
to announce that 1 would speak on the Gu
ban question in the Senate next Thursday"
| The senator says that the only solution of
the trouble is such intervention unless the
people of the United States are willing to
| look on and see the work OF starvation, al
ready so far advanced, completed The re-
concentrates are absolutely without hope
and if the death lists in any part of the
| islands are decreasing, 1t is only because
| the material for starvation to work upon is
giving out. All that the reconcentrados can
| now do, with their homes and implements
destroyed by fire, their little farms devas-
| tated and growing in weeds their stock
| driven off to furnish food for the Spanish
soldiers and themselves emaciated and dis
eased, is to remain in their pens. with
look of quiet despair and take the little
food that they can get sent by the charity
of the United States.
1t is perfectly true, says the senator, that
the insurgents practically have the whole
island. All that the Spanish hold is Havana,
and even while the congressional party was
there there was fighting in the suburbs of
that city.
Senator Thurston was asked what effect
intervention would have in increasing the
volume of the insurgent movement He said
that it would have some effect in that direc-
! ton, for then the Cubans generally would
rise and declare themselves. The members
of the party saw all classes of Spaniards in
Cuba and had an opportunity to learn their
temper with regard to the Americans there
He said that by the better classes he and
his friends were treated with respect and
if any bitterness was entertained it was
kept concealed. But he had heard that, by
the rabble of Havana, some insulting re-
marks were made with reference to the la
dies of the party.
He said it was the impression among
Americans in Havana that the Maine was
blown up by an external explosion and
while he disclaimed having information
from any official sources on which to form
an opinion, he said that he had no doubt
that the ship was blown up from without.
If" he was asked, 'the report of the
naval board should be that such was the
case. but that the agency could not be def
nitely ascertained, what course would you

CONCORD, N. H., March Ex-senator
William e. Chandler, in an editorial in the

the name of the United States to relieve
the famine and sickness in Cuba. Food
and medicine and clothing" he says, ''given
by the generous people of the United States
will be sent with the approval of Spain, if
she consents, or will be carried by Ameri-
can sailors and soldiers without that ap-

the starvation and torture is near at hand.

THE COMING REPORT.
Copy VIII Probably BE Submitted to
the Spanish Government.


the Spanish Government.
Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, March 21-The procedure
in connection with the submission of the
report of the Maine court of inquiry by the
President to Congress is now clearly out
lined and a Cabinet officer to-day explained
the general line of action at present intend
ed to be pursued on receipt of the report
which is expected to reach Washington
next Thursday. A copy of it will be laid
before the Spanish government very early,
and as soon as can be consistently done the
report will be sent to Congress and made
public at the same time The report to
Congress will be accompanied by a message
from the President stating that after re-
ceiving the report the conclusions were laid
before the Spanish government and appro-
pirate action from that quarter asked.
1t is stated positively that no part of the
report and no intimation of the findings
have reached the executive authorities in
Washington as yet. At the same time it is
a noticeable fact that the current of official
opinion is beginning to follow that of the
unofficial opinion expressed so positively
and persstently at Havana and Key West
that the cause of the explosion was external
to the battle ship. Officials high in the ad-
ministration stated to-day that while they
were wholly without exact information as
to the findings Of the court of inquiry they
found themselves sharing in the apparently
intangible conviction that the cause of the
explosion was not accidental. Opinion ex-
pressed by the Maine survivors who reached
here last Saturday doubtless has contribut.
ed largely to this view in official circles. In
this connection it is understood that one of
the officers who arrived on Saturday stat
ed, not as opinion, but as his personal OBJ
servation on the night of the disaster, that
there were two distinct explosions. The
tendency of this is to support the theory of
external cause, as this is based on the idea
that the first external explosion was fol-
lowed by a second internal explosion.
Intense interest in the report was mani
tested to-day at the White House and at
the State, War and Navy Departments.
The President received a number of con-
gressional leaders. among them being
Speaker Reed and Chairman Hit, OF the
House committee on foreign affairs. rhe
visit of Mr.. Reed naturally attracted much
attention. as he seldom leaves the congress
sional sphere to make calls on the execu-
tive branch, and it was naturally inferred
that the purpose of his visit was to confer
on the Cuban situation and it's future be-
fore Congress, though neither he nor Mr.
Hit was communicative. Secretary Long
also had an extended conference with the
President, but so far as 1t could be learned
it developed nothing additional relating to
the Spanish question. Senator Hale was
also at the White House to-day.
One of the Cabinet officials speaking
about the report of the court of inquiry
which II is understood will come some time
this week, said he agreed heartily with

WASHINGTON, March M.-The report of
the naval court which has been investigat-
ing the cause of the destruction of the bat
tie ship Maine in Havana harbcr on the
night of Feb. 15 was turned over to Admiral
Sicard this evening, and will probably be
dispatched from Key West early to-mor-
row morning. 1t should arrive here Thurs
day morning. 1t is thought that the Presi-
dent will not require more than two days
for it's consideration and the preparation
Of message, which would bring us to
Saturday. The commercial and financial
exchanges of the country will close at 12
o'clock on that day. and the message read
to Congress at it's opening could produce no
business disturbance. 1t is therefore more
than probable that Saturday will be Sc
lected as the date for making public the
report and the Presidents conclusions
thereon.
President Mckinley told a number of SEN
ators and representatives to-day, including
Speaker Reed, that he has no idea what the
report of the court of inquiry will contain.
He gives emphatic denials to statements
that any advance intimations have been
given him, and says that he awaits with
great anxiety the receipt of the document,
which will be the first knowledge he will
have of the verdict in whole or in part
Representative Steele, of Indiana, who
was formerly an officer in the regular army,
says it is his belief that no human being
outside Of the members Of the court of in
quiry has received the slightest hint as to
what the findings will be. He says he
knows the members of the court to be men
possessed of the keenest sense of honor,
and that they would yield their lives be-
fore giving up the secrets of the inquiry.
Mr.. Steele incIines to the view that the
court will find that the explosion was ac-
cidental. This, he is at pains to state, is
merely his personal Judgment

TO GUARD THE REPORT.
Secret Service Officers Will See that
the Document Is Not Stolen.

CHICAGO, March 2.-The Tribune's
Washington correspondent says: Extraordi-
nary precautions have been taken by the
authorities to prevent the report of the
Maine court of inquiry from being di-
vulged before the document reaches the
President From the time the messenger
bearing this report leaves Key West until
he reaches the capital he will be under the
constant surveillance of carefully picked,
tried and trusty men, who will be heavily
armed In fact, as much care will be taken
with this communication as though it were
a paymasters treasure chest being trans
ported to some frontier post where lawless
characters would be likely to be encoun-
tered.
This safeguard of having an armed escort
was determined upon after a careful consid-
Grafton of the matter at the White House
and Navy Department. 1t was designed to
guard against the slightest possibility of a
leak in any quarter before the President
and his advisers had an opportunity to read
and discuss document so fraught with i'm
portance and which might lead either to
war or peace between this country and
Spain. 1t was determined that not until the
latest possible moment should this all-im-
portant document be given to the messenger
who should bear it to Washington. and the
admiral of the fleet was intrusted with the
task of choosing the bearer Of this dispatch.
simultaneously with the reception Of this
important communication the dispatch
bearer will be furnished an armed escort,
who will accompany him from the ship ly-
ing off the Florida coast until the package
is delivered to the secretary of war and his
receipt obtained.
The guards will not be in uniform nor will
they carry Winchester rifles with fixed
sword bayonets. but they will be heavily
armed beneath their civilian attire and pre-
pared to give an account of themselves
should an emergency arise Care will be
taken to guard against any publicity in the
movements of the dispatch bearer and his
escort, and TO persons unacquainted with
their identity they will appear as ordinary
passengers probably tourists who have been
spending the winter South. Even the train
upon which the party will start will be un-
known until they are ready to go aboard on
