SPLIT IN THE CABINET.

he Pulling Together.
MADRID, Feb. PA gloomy tone
pervades political circles on the reports
of split in the Cuban ministry. The
Autonomists, Seniors Giberga and
Amblard, are. it is believed, secretly
treating with the Separatists in the
direction Of Independence for Cuba.

The impartial, which publishes a fac
smile of letter from Senior Gown to q
friend, in which the former says:
"How could you think that Sagasta, a
man inferior to Canovas and Liberal
only in name, has inspired my attitude
and not my ideas and sentiments as a
Cuban. Mckinley, as we'll as Cuba,
will determine whether I am a Span
lard. Long live our country and lib
srty"
Ell Pals says: "Spain should treat
with the rebels direct rather than toll
srate the traitor GOWN"
The official press, on the other hand,
sounsels prudence and confidence in
dealing with the Cubans.

Meager News From Washington and
Madrid Causes Apprehension.
NEW YORK, Feb. "a. "A dispatch to
The Tribune from Havana says:
The outlook in Cuba does not grow
more promising. An exact statement
is that the government officials were
never as mach disturbed as today. This
is partly due to information from
Washington and Madrid. News from
those places which is permitted to
reach the public is so meager that 1t
can better be judged in the United
States than here as 70 whether these
fears are exaggerated.
The statement that divers have pene-
trated the forward part Of the Maine
and found nothing in the magazines
there to indicate an explosion seems
to be verified. Attention is also
given to testimony regarding vibration
under water before the Maine went to
pieces. Evidence as to this fact is en-
phatic. How far it justifies the belief
that the explosion came from under
meath the ship, experts may be left to
determine. The point has not yet been
reached where definite opinion can
be formed regarding the construction
of such system. but it has not been
sifted. The representatives of foreign
nations are following the naval investi-
cation as well as other phases OF the
situation closely, and are understood to
be making daily reports to their gov
ernments. Spanish officials were sur
prised at the firmness with which the

Think Lee Has Been Exaggerated.
Consul General Lee, in the course of
friendly talk in Havana with Ameri-
cans may have expressed the view that
there are at present other places more
desirable as resorts for persons who
have no particular business there, than
Havana, but the state department au-
thorizes the announcement that 1t has
not yet been advised that he has either
officially or semi-officially delivered
himself of any expression on the sub
ject. The Spanish legation also dis
credits reports that General Lee has
given any such warning, as Mr.. Du
Bose, the charge d'affaires, said that
such complete quiet and harmony ex-
listed at Havana, that it was mani.
testify out of the question that any such
warming had been given: 1t is also
said at the department that no message
has been conveyed to the owners of
American vessels at New Orleans or
elsewhere, that it would not be safe for
them to visit Cuban ports at this time.
The battleship Texas, and the gun
boat Nashville have left Galveston,
Tex, for Key West. where they will re-

Sicard's squadron at that point. The
two ships will now resume their part in
the squadron evolutions, according to
original programme, unless detached.
The Nashville has been thought of in
connection with the determination to
send another ship when the present ex-
element has Gained, the choice lying
between the Nashville and the Mont
gomery. No determination, however,
has yet been reached on that point.

There was q total lack of official

none having been dispatched. A re-
minder of the disaster, however,
reached the navy department., in the
shape of a water-stained and brine
favored package enclosing the medical
journal of the Maine. This document
came through Consul General Lees
mail pouch to the state department, in
stead of through the mails, from which
it was probably barred by its weight.
It was turned over to the chief clerk of
the navy department.. The officials
say the package was under water four
days and its appearance still bears evil
dence of that fact besides having an
unpleasant brakish odor.
