short interval between them, is an
additional detail, showing that two
forces operated in causing the destruc-
ton. The finding that the ship lifted
on the first explosion indicates an ex-
ternal source and one of tremendous
power to be able to lift battleship OF
thousands of ton.
The character of the wreckage,
technically described in the fifth part
of the report, from which the court
deduces that a mine was exploded
under the ship on the port side, sus-
taius the view taken by some experts
shortly after the disaster that the force
of the explosion was exerted from port
to starboard.
The feature of the report of deepest
interest to the navy, is the complete
exhonoration Of Captain Sigsbee and
all on board, contained in the second
findings, setting forth the perfect or
der and discipline prevailing on the
ship, and that directly stated in the
sixth finding, which declares the disas-
ter to be due 10 no fault of those on
board.
The inability of the court to find
evidence to fix the responsibility, as
stated in the eighth part, makes the re-
port so guarded in expression of blame
that neither Spain nor the Spanish are
mentioned throughout.

Summary of the Many Developments OF
Monday.
Commodore w. S. Schley arrived at
Hampton Roads on Monday to take
command of the flying squadron there.
He was received by the officers and
men with an enthusiasm that rather
exceeded the bounds of discipline ;
but the circumstances were such that
he did not take occasion to offer any
rebuke. Within half an hour after
boarding the Brooklyn, Commodore
Schley read his commission and his
flag was hoated from the masthead.
One of the big guns belched forth a
salute which was answered from an
other vessel, and the ceremony was
over. During the morning, Commo-
dore Schley said to press representa-
tive: II have no orders to move, nor
do l know when any will come. We
are ready to move on the shortest kind
of notice on the completion of the
fleet"
A Havana dispatch to the New York
Herald says that on Sunday the Span
ish General Cognosto offered to fur
nish General Lee with body guard.
General Lee refused the offer, and
General Cognosto contented himself
with placing large body of detec-
tives, in the clothing of civilians, about
the consulate. The dispatch TO the
Herald goes on to say that General

affairs is likely to occur at any mo-

The Twice-A-Week Enquirer.
There are some people who affect to be-
lieve that the farmers of York county are
too sluggish or not intelligent enough to
want news more than once week or
once a month, etc., and who also affect
to believe that these citizens would as
lieve have old stuff that has long since
passed out of date as real live news. We
do not believe any such thing; but we are
not going to argue the matter even lit
tie bit. But we know it to be fact that
Is per cent. of the circulation Of THE
ENQUIRER is called for on the day it ar
rives at the respective postoffices, and we
would not be much afraid to offer 50 bill
to the individual who can find in any
postoffice in York county, copy sent to a
regular subscriber since January, and
which is six days old. We know Of
many offices, however, where whole
piles of other papers for weeks back may
be collected. The postmasters have often
told us that they had served on the pub
fishers the usual discontinuance notice /;
but to this notice the publishers never
nav any attention. All this is the differ
ence between paper the people want
and one they don't. Seer

frightened to give anything off prices, and
the goods are not going to be any higher.
I saw pretty well what was there, and if
necessary I can buy from here, or if the
scare blows over, can go back. But in
the meantime, especially since learned
that the banks bad already begun to
tighten up the money market, decided
not to put in goods just at this time any

THEY ARE HOLDING CoTToN.-
Southern mills are reported as holding
considerably larger stocks of cottor
than they did at this time last year
They have evidently learned a lesson
from the experience of those Carolina
mills, which last summer found it nee
essary to buy cotton in New York in
order to keep their machinery in oper
alton. Crop prophets are now talking
as high as eleven and quarter mil
lion bales, but it is rather improbable
if this figure will really be reached
A Texas gentleman, at present in Bos
ton, states that the state is quite well
cleaned up. Planting will soon be
quite general in the belt, and by April
Is large part of the crop should be
in. 1t has been estimated that de-
claration of war with Spain before the
planting time would decrease the acre
age nearly so per cent.-American

MAINE COURT Of INQUIRY.
Full Synopsis of the Findings of that Boo

Full Synopsis of the Findings Of that Body
The main point in the finding of the
court of inquiry-that the "Maine''
was blown up by submarine mine
was published in THE ENQUIRER last
Friday afternoon within two hours af:
ter it was announced in Washington.
Since then the Associated Press has Sc
cured complete abstract of the re-
port and publishes the same as fol-
lows:
/. The court finds that at the time
of the explosion the battleship Maine
was lying in FIVE and one-half to six
fathoms of water.
2. The discipline aboard the ship
was excellent 4; everything slowed &C
cording to orders-ammunition, guns,
stores, etc. The temperature of the
magazines at s p. m. was normal ex-
cept in the after 1O.inch magazine, and
that did not explode.
8. The explosion occurred at $40
o'clock on the evening of February
Is. There we're two explosions, with
Il very short interval between them
the ship lifted on the first explosion.
4. The court can form no definite
opinion of the condition of the wreck
from the divers evidence.
5. Technical details of wreckage
from which the court deduces that a
mine was exploded under the ship on
the port side.
6. The explosion was due to no fault
of those on board.
7. Opinion Of the court stating that
the explosion Of the mine caused the
explosion of the two magazines.
S. The court declares that it cannot
find evidence to fix responsibility.
The report is unanimous and is
signed by all the members of the court.
1t does not refer to the existence OF
non existence in the harbor of Havana,
except in the finding that a mine was
exploded under the ship, and the opin'
ion that the explosion of the magazines
was caused by the explosion of mine,
The report as whole is formal
dispassionate recital of facts, and
bears the stamp of that strict official
ism which marks naval procedure. II
is brief, not exceeding 1900 words,
and among the eight parts goes to the
greatest length under the second head
ing, which deals with the discipline
and order of the ship. This the court
specifies with extreme minuteness, the
least detail of the management oi
everything on board being given. The
normal temperature of the large for
ward magazines at o'clock, only an
hour and forty minutes before the ex-
plosions, disposes of the question oi
accidental conclusions within these
magazines. While the court holds
that these magazines did not explode
from internal causes they nevertheless
are of the opinion that the explosion
of the mine under the port side of the
ship caused the explosion of the two
magazines. This will explain the re-
markable destruction wrought, the ex'
plosion thus heing shown to have
combined the force Of the mine with
out and the two magazines within.

finds to have occurred with very

Havana, and the Situation Generally
Was Decidedly More squally.
Special dispatch to the Yorkville Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, March 49,
Senator Rawlings today intro
duced a declaration of war against
Spain. This was followed by
resolutions by Senators Foraker,
Frye and Allen, recognizing Gu
ban independence with force.
All the resolutions were referred
to the committee on foreign rela.
tions.
The president has informed
Spain that the arlnistice pro-
posed by that government will
not be accepted.
Peace conditions today are hot
nearly so promising as they ap-
peared to be yesterday but there
is a feeling among prominent OF,
fcials that though Spain will
yield only with stubborn reluct,
ance, she will evacuate Cuba be-
fore she will risk war. This,
however, is only a matter OF
opinion.
Received at 4.4S p. NJ.
WASHINGTON, March 49,
President Mckinley has inform
ed the cabinet that he will turn
over the entire Cuban-Spanish
matter to congress to settle.
That probably means trouble.
Cables from Havana say rioting
is imminent and General Blanco
charges the responsibility on the
newspaper men.
Representative Marsh, of 1lli-
nois, has introduced a resolution
proposing an immediate declara-
ton of war.
It is understood here that the
United States minister to Spain
is now in conference with Senor
Sagasta.
