THIS is SHAME.

st. Louis, Feb. 23.-The Post Dispatch
summed up the situation as follows last
evening:
1t will be a week tonight since the
Maine was destroyed, with more than
$50 of her crew.
During all this time nothing has been
done by the government to recover the
bodies of the dead or to ascertain the
cause of the catastrophe. Sylvester
Scovel, in his letter to Capt. Sigsbee,
printed today, calls attention to the
fact that but one body of the victims
has been recovered through the efforts
of the authorities. The whole energy
and resources of the government have
only succeeded in placing two divers on
the Maine, who are admittedly incOm-
petent to do the work expected of them
and which it was fOreSeen would be re-
quired of them from the very beginning.
This ineffciency, the news that the
Maine is sinking hourly deeper in the
mud, the absence of the president from
his post, the haggling of the depart
output, have created a depIorable i'm
preston in Washington and throughout
the country.
There are times when diIatOriness is
a blunder. There are times when it is
a crime. This was pre-eminently an
occasion demanding the utmost prompt
itude and vigOr on the part of the gov
eminent. Delays are dangerous"

BELLIGERENCY TALK.
Senator Allen Tries to Bring Forward
the Morgan Resolution.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Mr. Allen Of
fered the Morgan Cuban belligerency
resolution as an amendment to the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill Mr.. Hale gave notice of point
of order against the amendment.
Senator Allen then introduced reso-
luton for a senate investigation of af-
fairs in the island of Cuba
Mr.. Morgan in opposing the Allen
amendment said he had no right to
make a declaration of this sort, in this
way If this resolution was made a
part of the bill, Spain would have
right to consider it as a declaration of
war.
Referring to the Maine disaster and
the investigation now going on he said
it would not be right to force the ques-
ton now. If the senator from Nebras-
ka wanted to vote for a declaration of
war let him bring it in and state the
grounds. He (Morgan) would vote
for such a resolution.
Mr. Morgan said he would not vote
for a declaration of war against Spain
in disguise. He wanted the challenge
made and picked up in an honorable
way

EVIDENCE ALL ONE WAY.
All Possibility of Accidental ExpIo-
sion Rapidly Disappearing.

Washington, Feb 23.-The Evening
Star has received the following from
its staff correspondent in Cuba:
Havana, Feb. 23.-Via Key Vest
Inquiry into the Maine disaster pro-
crosses along definite lines. The results
so far may be summed up in the state
ment that the probabilities that it was
an accident, seem to decrease with the
progress of the investigation.
The most intense anxiety is shown by
the Spanish officials here, who are in
constant communication with Madrid.
They realize that the relations with the
United States were never so much in
danger of rupture as now. This is the
general feeling.
The commercial classes here are
hopeful of American intervention on
peaceful lines, but what they base their
hopes on is unknown. The insurgents
continue to win minor military success
es The autonomists are restless, and
some of the leaders seem on the point
of breaking away from the government.
Army officers continue to show anti
American sentiment. They are appar-
emily the only class that does not look
for an early crisis.

INGALLS, ON MAINE DISASTER
Says We Are on the Brink of Ire
mendous Explosion.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 29.-John J. Ingalls,
of Kansas is in Atlanta, and expressed
himself emphatica1ly against the pres
ent agitation for war in view of the
fact that international politics is in so
delicate a condition that to precipitate
hOstilities, would, he thinks, place the
United States in an equivOcal position
IF it develops that the Maine disaster
was the work of a Spanish brigand and
Spain disaVOws any responsibility or
connection with it, do not see that our
friendly relations should be interrupted.
On the other hand, if the proper disa-
vowal is not forthcoming, we must ex-
pect hOstilitieS. I believe we are on
the brink of the most tremendous ex-
plOsiOn that has ever been known in the
worlds history. am convinced that
a struggle for the readjustment of
frontiers is not far off, and in view of
this possibility. do not think it patri-
otto, or wise to seek to plunge this ma
ton into war without due elaboration
and full prOVOcatiOn.''
Mr.. ingalls, says judgment should be
suspended until an official report is
made by the court of inquiry.

Hanna Sees No Reason to Get Angry
at the Massacre of American
Sailors

Washington, Feb. 23.-SensationaI re-
ports having been circulated that Sen
ator Hanna had expressed the belief
that a conflict between the United
States and Spain was imminent, the
attention of the senator was called to
them.
He emphatically denied them, saying:
'I do not believe there is anything in
the Maine incident, or in our relations
to Spain regarding Cuba, that will lead
to war I am firm of the opinion that
the explosion of the Maine was due to
an accident, and I think that the naval
court of inquiry will reach the same
conclusion
''And congress will do nothing?"
What is there for congress to do?
There is no information except a lot
of sensational stories upon which to
base all this talk of war. Even the
secretary of the navy has no informa-
tion and as long as the president and
the secretary of the navy and all the
rest of the cabinet keep cool and quiet,
there is no need for the rest of the Uni
ted States to get alarmed
No said Senator Hanna in con-
cIusion, 81 honestly and frankly do not
see any reason for the excitement that
is being created. There will be no
war;
