i I Nv AsH1NaToE, Dec. ~ -- Senator Frye
talked ,to q reporter with respect to the
conditions attending and resulting from
the peace negotiations. &, 15#.ss$ /. s: 4
With respect to the frequently re-
1peated statement in press dispatches
! that the sentiment Of the powers, with
the exception 81 England, was opposed
to the United States and looked with
disfavor upon the attitude Of this gov.
eminent in dealing with Spain, Senator
Frye said: * F:,..@ ~ .%@s,5=s2 2 ] =. r.. 1
n IT saw no evidence of such sentiment
existing outside of France, and :, in
France that sentiment appeared in the
press, which does not reflect the senti.
ment Of the nation nor of the people
generally" .
+ "Do you think there will be an early
restoration of cordial relations between
Spain and the United States?" 80.
II think that verv soon after the rati-
6cation of the peace treaty and the
restoration of diplomatic relations there
will be no difficulty about negotiating
commercial treaties and a treaty for the
release of prisoners and such other mat
tiers directed toward the perfect restora-
ton Of diplomatic relations between the
two governments. do not believe that
the Spanish government will be at all
disposed to.
Keep Up Unfriendly Feeling
between the two governments. The
making of new treaties adapted to the
present conditions would be better than
would be the restoration Of the old
treaties, some features of which were
obsolete"
'What has been published with re-
spect to the treat of peace seems to in
dictate, does it not, that this govern
ment is not committed by these nego-
tiations with reference to the future
disposition Of the territory, the Spanish
sovereignty over which has been re-
inquished?'
1T indicates very strongly that this
government is not committed in any
way whatever with respect to the dis
position and government of these ISL
ands. If we are insane enough to do
so, we might give them all back to
Spain after the ratification Of the treaty.
If we are fool we might divide them up
among the other foreign powers. The
whole matter is left in the hands Of
congress. Congress can make any dis
position of the islands it sees fit. The
ratification of the treaty will not in any
way curtail any privileges of ours in
this direction" i

court named today by the navy department.
 There was little news to add to the sum of information as to the disaster during that could be learned was denial of some absurd story or other that had crept into print or became current gossip. All the cables in the late afternoon were in the shape of Capt. Sigsbees report of the au- thorization of the funeral of his dead sail ors, and Gen. Lees graphic story of the terrible struggle for life in the dark hull of the Maine
 Lists of Dead and Living
 The officials at the navy department de- voted the day to the effort to correct the lists of the living and dead; to answering frantic telegraphic appeals from relatives of men on the battleship and last, but not least, in meeting with unwavering courtesy and patience the exacting demands upon their time of the press representatives.
 The disposition of the survivors, Captain Dickens acting chief of the navigation bu- reau, has arranged for as well as could be from this distance The wounded sailors in the Havana hospitals, on the Spanish flagship and elsewhere who were not in condition to be brought back to Key West will be carefully looked after by Miss Clara Barton, who has been given carte, blanche to buy any and everything necessary, food, clothing, delicacies and hire of nurses and physicians. The wounded, able to get across to Key West, will be taken care of in the marine hospital there. The sound survivors will be quartered in the srare army barracks there. As for the Maine herself, notwithstanding discouraging re- ports from Lieutenant Hood as to her condition, the navy department will make the effort to raise her. While this Is re- u,lfred by every cretittable sentiment, they say that they are bound to remove the

 Letter. IT LAMENTS THE INCIDENT l Although the Letter Was Within the Field
 of Friendship. SECURED BY CRIMINAL MEANS Government Does Not Consider It Necessary to Demonstrate Anew Its Fealty and
 Unstained Faith of Its
 Good Intentions.

Wilmington, Feb 17-Spain has officially disclaimed in positive manner the refiec- tions contained in the DeLome letter, and as officially announced by the state de- partment today, the incident is satisfac- torily closed. The statement given out is as follows:
 February 1T, 1898. The following is an abstract of a note sent last evening by the Spanish government to Minister Wood ford, at Madrid:
 'The Spanish government, on learning of the incident in which Minister Dupuy DeLome was concerned, and being advised of his objectionable communication with entire sincerity laments the incident which was the cause of the interview with the minister, states that Minister DeLome had presented his resignation and it had been accepted before the presentation of the matter by Minister Woodford. That the Spanish ministry, in accepting the resignation of a functionary whose serv- ices they have been utilizing and valuing

huh from the small harbor in any case and it may be easy easier to raise her, as it would be to destroy the huh and ma chinery by the use of divers and dynamite. It is believed this work can best be done by private wrecking corporations and negotiations already afoot for placing thla contract based on work by the day at an estimated cost of $2O0000.
 The Rumor Denied
 At the navy department specific denials was given of the report emanating from Madrid that torpedo f1otilla was about to leave Key West for Cuba It was stat ed that only two torpedo boats, the Cush- ing and the Ericsson, are at Key West, and these have not been ordered and will not be ordered, according to present plans, to Cuba. It was strongly asserted that no present purpose existed of sending any warshp there.
 Senor DuBose, the Spanish charge, has received no instructions up to p. m. as going to New York and stopping the Span ish ship Vizcaya, entering the port, and reports to this effect were discredited.
 The air of suppressed excitement which characterized the movement of the em- ployes and visitors at the white house yes- terday was not noticeable today. There were comparatively few visitors during the morning hours and for a considerable time in the middle of the day the white house bore an almost deserted appear ance.
 Assistant Secretary Day said the presi- dent had nothing of importance to com- municate until. after 4 o'clock, when he carried to the white house official informa- tion of the cloisng of the DeLome letter incident. So far as could be learned the only information as to the situation in Havana that reached the president direct came through the Associated Press. On the streets there was noticeable less ex- citement than yesterday, when the peo- pie were 10th to believe that under the circumstances the loss of the Maine could be traced to other Spanish sources.

up to that time leave it perfectly we'll es- tablished that they do not share and rather,s on the contrary, disauthorize the criticisms tending to offend or censure the chief of a friendly state, although such criticisms have been written within the field of friendship and had reached pub licity by artful and criminal means. That this meaning had taken shape in a resolu- tion by the council of ministers before General Woodford presented the matter, and at time when the Spanish govern ment had only vague telegraphic reports concerning the sentiments alluded to. That the Spanish nation, with equal and greater reason, affirms its view and decision after reading the words contained in the letter refecting upon the president of the Unit ed States.
 Viewed With Concern
 As to the paragraph concerning the de- strability of negotiations of commercial reations, if even for effect and importance of usng a representative for the purpose stated in Senor DeLome's letter, the gov ernment expresses concern that in the light of its product, long after the writing of the letter, and in view of the unanswecia- ble testimony of simultaneous and subse- quent facts. amy doubt should exist that the Spanish government has given proof of its real desire and of dts innermost con- yiction with respect to the new comner- cal system and the projected treaty of commerce
 That the Spanish government does not now consider 1t necessary to lay stress upon or to demonstrate anew the truth and sincerity of it's purpose and the un- stained good faith of its intentions.
 That publicly and solemnly the govern ment of Spain contracted before the mother country and its colonies a reeponsi- bility for tine political and tariff changes which it has inaugurated in both antilles, the natural ends of which, in domestic and international spheres, it pursues with firmness, which will ever inspire it's con- duct.

 Admiral Sicard telegraphed Secretary Long from Key West this afternoon as follows:
 'In the opinion of Lieutenant John Hood of the Maine, who has just arrived from Havana, the Maine can never again be utilized as a ship. He describes the whole forward body of the ship as completely collapsed where the shock of the explosion was heaviest. Photograph of the wreck will be sent to the department today.

 Twenty wild be buried this after noon, twenty-five found in harbor and two died in hospital.

I will say that this city will be furnished gas at less rates than any other city of it's size in the United States and when I say of its size I mean no dsparagement. for l believe that Birmingham is the biggest city of its size in the word.' Alderman Pearce moved to refer the or, dinance to the judiciary committee. He explained his motion by saying that in view of the importance of the measure. he thought that the judiciary committee should pass on it.
 Alderman Altman said as chairman of the judiciary committee that the form of the ordinance was correct, and therd was no necessity for referring 1t.
 Mr. Pearce's motion had nc second.
 The Rules Suspended
 Alderman Hentschel moved that tho rules be suspended and the ordinance be placed on it's second reading. Alderman Kerr seconded the motion
 The motion was put, and Mayor Evans and Aldermen Ashford, Kerr, Rainbow, Moore, Drennen, Lynagh, Wheeler, Wil- Hams, Altman, Hamilton, Pearce, Gray, Parker and Hentschel, all the members present. voted faye"
 Alderman Gray then moved that the rules be suspended and the ordinance be placed on it's third reading. Carried unanimously.
 Alderman Moore moved that the measure be placed on its final passage. There was not a dissenting voice and the measure became law
 No Affect at Present
 This will have no effect at present on the old company, but one of the aldermen remarked last night that they weren't through with the old octopus yet.
 The city now has temporary arrange ment with the old company for furnishing gas but this may be terminated at any minute. The life of the octopus may be terminated along with the temporary con- tract.
