European powers. If these vessels We're
Withdrawn for the period of year civil
strife and bloodshed would ensue and re-
suit in the rule of some white man as
dictator. If during such a period a Jap
anese man-of-war was at Honolulu the
result would be the capture of the ISL
ands by Japan or by filibusters from our
Pacific coast. When the white race in
Hawaii is subjected to Kanaka rule these
Islands will fall into speedy ruin. unless
some maritime power shall take immedi-
ate control of them
Referring to the interest of Great Brit
ain in the Hawaiian Islands, Mr.. Davis
says: 1T is no less than a blind con-
fidence in the impossible, to assume that
Great Britain has no special interest in
Hawaii, when that is the only missing
link in the Gordon of fortresses with
which it is her proud ambition to girdle
the world. She still has and will ever
have most important use for dominion
in Hawaii"

TREATY HOPES.
Status of Hawaii In House Looks I'M
proved.

WASHINGTON, March lion every
hand is the feeling among the friends
of Hawaii that the resolution reported by
Senator Davis yesterday will be passed
by the Senate very quickly. Senator Peti-
tigrew, who in the absence of Senator
White is the principal opponent of annex
alton, said today that he did not believe
there would be much more delay, even
with appropriation bills coming in be-
tween, and that Hawaii has sufficient
votes is certain.
The status of Hawaii in the House is
believed to be greatly improved. Rep
resentative Dingley of Maine, the closest
man to Speaker Reed, is now in favor
of the passage of the treaty, and as Rep
resentative Henderson of Iowa and other
lieutenants of the Speaker are on the
same side, it is believed the vote will be
made before Congress adjourns.
The Administration, it is acknowledged
will take an active part in this fight, and
Mckinley is believed to be a bigger man
with the lower house than the Speaker.

Administration Not Yet Informed
Of inquiry Boards Report.
THEY ARE PREPARING FOR WAR
United States Buys War Vessels to
Avoid Being Caught Un-
equipped.

KEY WEST, March 22-Leutenant-
| Commander Mark left Key West this
afternoon on his way to Washington by
| the way of Miami taking with him the
| report of the court of inquiry in the
| Maine disaster.
Commander Mark brought the report
ashore from the Nashville today and
| Rear-Admiral Sicard, with Mark, spent
| several hours in it's further revision.
Before leaving Key West Commander
| Mark said nothing could be given out
about the work of the court of inquiry
or it's findings. Personally, the comman-
der said he was intensely relieved at
completing his labors.
Lieutenants Jungen and Hood, Cadets
Brownson and Boyd, Past Assistant En-
gineer Bowers, Assistant Engineer Nor
ris and Carpenter Jolmes of the Maine,
left here today on the City of Key West
for Miami Gunner Hale will leave later
There are no commissioned officers of
the Maine here.
Within the last few days a minority
sentiment has been growing that the
court has been unable to determine de-
finitely the cause of the explosion. Still
it is true that majority hold to the
conviction that the report will find and
prove that the Maine was blown up in
tentionally.
The sending of the report today to
Washington was an undramatic climax of
weeks of waiting. Lieutenant-C t-Comman-
der Mark went aboard the Nashville
early in the day and brought off the
findings. After prolonged conference
with Rear Admiral Sicard, certain altera-
tions were made and then read, Admiral
Sicard affixfng his signature of approval
After luncheon Lieutenant-Co Commander
Mark boarded the steamer City of Key
West and sailed for Miami at 4:3O o'clock
with the courts findings safely slowed
away in stateroom 16.
Lieutenant-C Commander Mark, before
leaving, was in a non-committal mood
He confined himself to saying that he
was intensely glad to be through with
the tedious work, and once more to be
on the way north.
While the decision reached by the court
is still matter of surmise, perhaps some
significance may be attached and concIu-
sions drawn from remark made by Ad-
miral Sicard when he said to a corre-
spondent: ''The case of the Maine is
most peculiar, perhaps the most peculiar
which has ever occurred in the history
of the world
From the general tone of his remarks
1T might be inferred that the court find
ings do not definitely solve the mystery
of the explosion.

PRESIDENTS POLICY.
VIII Be No Diplomatic Correspondence
First.

NEW YORK, March 22-The Tribune's
Washington special says: The impression
that some diplomatic representation will
be made to Spain before Congress learns
the findings of the court of inquiry APP
pears to be groundless The President,
on the contrary, recognizes that the peo-
pie of this country have the right to the
information secured by the board before
it is confided to any foreign government.
What the Presidents policy In dealing
with the report will be can only be left
to conjecture. How far Congress will be
asked or expected to share in shaping the
program to be followed by this country
in seeking indemnification from Spain is
also absolutely an undeciphered problem.

HORRORS MUST CEASE.
Cabinet Discussion roints to Such a
Determination.

WASHINGTON, March 22-The Cabin
ct meeting today lasted something over
an hour and was devoted exclusively to
the Spanish situation in general and to
the forthcoming report of the Maine court
of inquiry.
The tone Of the discussion was very
firm and determined that there must come
an end to the present state of affairs
in Cuba
Secretary Long authorized the state
ment that the understanding before the
Cabinet was that the report would reach
Washington next Thursday or Friday,
that it was very voluminous and that the
publication and transmission to Congress
would not occur until next Monday or
Tuesday, as the President would require
that much time to give the document the

Senator Caffrey of Louisiana said he
would make every effort to have the
course of the proceedings the same in the

will be bitterly contested by the annexa-

Ior crime which he always claimed
tnat he never committed. In accord
ance with the custom Of many Of the
wild tribes of the plains. after he had
been pronounced guilty and the day
Tor his execution had been fixed, he
was permitted to return to his people
without guard or any sort of bond for

other La-Na-Fa-Flower of the Vale.
No one had dared to say as to which

was nothing in the laws or customs of
the tribe to have prevented the young
Comanehe from taking both of the
young girls to his wigwam, and 1t

sisted that she loved him too well to
share his heart with another. They
hated each other with more than the
deadly bitterness frequently manifest
cd by women in a similar position.
Panther Tanner was greatly perplexed.
He honestly declared that he was ready
to take either or both to his bosom,
and curiously enough he requested
them to settle it between themselves.
One OF them did settle it much sooner
than he expected, and in way that
