of Our national strength and
resources will cause Spain to stop
and consider the costs. So far she
has conceded every demand made by
this country and there is reason to
believe that she would even vacate
Cuba before engaging this country
in war. However, u few days or
weeks, at most, will determine, and
until then every American should be
patient and trust tn the wisdom and
integrity of those who have the
great responsibility on their shout
ders and who are improving every
hour by placing the country in shape

arise.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March IA weeks
negotiations closed by the triumphant
purchase by the navy department in London
of the two fine cruisers built and building at
Elswick for the Brazilian government. Pos
sibly the officials take more pleasure in closing
up the business in this manner because of the
knowledge that the Spanish agents had been
striving to secure these very ships, to whom
it is said they would be of greater value in
case of trouble than to the United States. The
next question is how to get the ships home,
and that has not been settled according to the
secretary of the navy. The United States flag
will be hoisted over the new ships within a
week, and as soon as a crew can be put on
board the Amazonas. she will be brought to
the United States. The other vessel will star
as soon as possible.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 15.-This was
another busy day in the war and navy depart
mcnts. Secretary Alger was able to make an
allotment of funds from the appropriation OF
S5O,OUO,OOO which will greatly facilitate the work
of the bureau. These bureaus have not been
able to conclude any contracts for the procure
ment of war supplies because no allotment
had been made. The general expectation of
the members of the cabinet" said one of them
after the meeting today, lis that some report
will be received during the present week from
the court of inquiry; yet it would not be sur
prising to us if the report should be delayed
for a longer time. We have nothing on which
to base this hope. that l know OF, only a feeling
seems general that what l have said will be the
case. There is nothing at hand as yet to indI-
cate what will be the nature of the findings of
court"
The senate committee on naval affairs has
under consideration to-day a resolution in
structing it to investigate the Maine disaster,
and decided by a vote of six to five to post
pone action for the present. This action was
proceeded by a sharp exchange of words
between the advocates of immediate action
| and those who think the senate investigation
should be deferred in order to permit the
administration full opportunity to press its
Investigations through the naval court OF
inquiry.

HAVANA, March 15.-The Man.
grove, with the court of inquiry on
board, sailed tonight for Key West.
Captain Sampson of the court, as
sured the associated press CORES
pondent that the decision to leave
Havana was not reached until this
afternoon after u consultation of the
members. 1t was decided that while
further evidence might be obtained
here, this was not considered suffi-
GENTLY likely to justify a longer stay.
The greater part of the investiga-
ton that counts will consist, unless
the court returns to Havana, of a
careful study Of the plans. 1t il not
| thought that it will be necessary
again to summons the survivors OF
| the Maine, officers or men, now at
Key West or scattered through the
states. Captain Sampson says, how
ever, hat any such would be sum-
noned if the revision Of the testi-
mony shows missing links in the
chain that they could supply. The
court has no prophesy to make as to
the further duration OF it's sittings,
or as to when or where the findings
will be promulgated.

THE GROWN LANDS
OF the Late Hawaiin an Kingdom Are
Claimed by Ex-Queen LiliuokaIani.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 21-Ex-
Queen Liliuokalani. of Hawaii, arrived
here to-day from Honolulu, accompanied
by Col. G. w. MacFarlane and Hon. Paul
Neuman. The ex-queen excused herself
from newspaper men, but it was learned
that Liliuokaiani will leave for Washing
ton, d. c., in few days. The object of
her visit is to try to influence Congress to
allow her to retain possession of the
crow nlands, valued at IS, 000,09O. Liiiuo-
kalani maintains that despite the annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States, the crown lands are her
absolute private property, and that this
country has no more right to assume
ownership of the lands than it has to take
the property of any private citizen
The contention of President Dole the
Cabinet and the Hawaiian commission
that the crown lands became part of the
United States property upon the annex
alton of the islands, she takes exception
to, and is hopefulu that her trip to Wash
ington will resulut finally in the crown
lands again becoming her private possess
