vantages with the other powers and secure
adequate compensation in her own inter-
ests." AT first glance this might look like
backing down by England. but rightly
considered it is only a change of policy.
England's policy in the East is primarily a
commercial one. There is an immense
amount of English capital invested in China,
her trade with that country is very large,
and 1t is her policy to hold and extend It,
Russia. on the other hand, has no great
commercial interests. but she has distinct
policy of territorial extension and of obtain
ing an Eastern outlet to the sea- EngIand's
main object in trying to prevent the Chi
nese concession to Russia was to prevent
any Interference with her commercial inter-
ests In that country. Failing in that. she
will herself demand concession. or per
maps more than one. That will not only
maintain but extend her commercial inter-
ests. Nevertheless. the longer this conces-
sion business continues the greater the
chance of collision between England and

Putting ON War Paint and Preparing
for Possible Action.

FORT MONROE, Va, March 29.-Putting
on war paint is at present the principal oc-
cupation of the nucleus of the American
flying squadron While Commander Schley
is busily engaged finishing up his corre-
spondence and attending to the numberless
details of preparing fleet for war, seamen
are Transforming the white and gold cruisers
and battle ships into limitations of a Suede
glove. The Brooklyn completed her change
of dress this morning, but the Massachu-
sets has only completed her upper works.
and will not finish painting until tomorrow
noon. BY that time it is hoped the cruiser
Columbia will have arrived to join the feet,
and she also will have to be painted. The
Columbia is reported to Commodore Schley
as being on her way here. Everything will
be completed by tomorrow night so that
the squadron will be ready to move. Com
modore Schley said to-day that he had re-
ceived no official notification that the yacht
Mayflower had been designated as his dis
patch boat. He had written to the depart
ment suggesting the assignment of a boat
for that purpose as matter OF convenience
He was positive that 1t was necessity be-
cause the steam launches were inadequate.
especially If the squadron should go into
action. The rumored completion OF the
squadron by the addition of several monitors
cannot be confirmed The eact is that mon
itors would be absolutely Valueless to such
squadron as this especially designated for
fast work. as they are the slowest of boats.
The Minneapolis will Join the fleet this week
in all likelihood.
On the Brooklyn to-day there were at least
eighty applications for enlistment as sailors
and marines Very few accepted, al
though about afteen are needed, as the
physical Examination Is very severe. The
general impression of Ulcers here Is that
the new color of the war shps Is great
improvement. The boats are now uniform,
and look much smaller Even the guns are
painted the dull lead color, and II is diff
cult at any distance to locate their position.
Commodore Snhley has not received definite
orders as to any future movements of the
squadron, but will be prepared within forty
eight hours to go anywhere. While he is q
conservative officer, 1t is q well-known fact
that he is quoted saying, prior 10 his
Stunning command, that he would like Moth

THE TWO REPORTS.

The findings of the report of the
naval court of inquiry are greatly
strengthened by the evidence. i. An
impartial judge comparing the findings
of the Spanish court and that of the United
States must be struck by the internal evil
dence of superficiality in one and of thor
oughness in the other. He must also be
struck by the fact that the Spanish report
is based wholly upon negative evidence,
while that of our court is based on positive
evidence. The Spanish court reports that
the Maine was destroyed by an accidental
explosion from the inside because certain
results, dead fish, etc, which. according
to Spanish theory, ought to have followed
an external explosion, did not appear. Our
court reports that an inside explosion as a
first cause was impossible, and produces
abundant and cumulative evidence that an
outside explosion actually did occur. The
Spanish report says: THE evidence of wit
nesses comparatively close to the Maine at
the moment is to the effect that only one
explosion occurred',-that is they did not
hear but one. On our side there is the posi-
tive testimony of several witnesses that
there were two distinct explosions. The
Spanish report does not show that any
careful examination of the wreck was made
to discern the location of it's parts or
whether the plates, etc., indicated an inside
or an outside explosion. The evidence ac-
companying our report shows that a thor
ough and critical examination of every part
of the wreck accessible to the divers was
made, and that all the facts discovered in
dicated an outside explosion under the
water and at a particular portion of the
ship. All the divers and all the experts
who testified before our court agreed that
the physical evidence of an external explo-
sion, such as the position of certain portions
of the wreck, the bending of plates, the
jagged edges of openings, of cement and of
floors, etc. all pointed Enthusiastically to an
explosion from without. Under these cir
cumstances the government should never
consent to arbitrate any point in the find
ing of our court. The report should be ac-
cepted as conclusive upon every point COW
cred by it.
