The President IIDheId

The second week of the first year of
President Mckinley's administration
opened with a series of developments
which, in one sense at least, must be
gratifying TO every American citizen.
While the talk of war and the danger
OF the necessity Of entering upon war
Is regretted by every good citizen, the
promptness and earnestness with
which men, irrespective of party,
rallied around the President on the
day on which it was announced that
Spain had demanded the recall OF
General Lee, shows that American
patriotism and loyalty to American
officials is far above and beyond the
Iincident Of party lines and party
strife.
The scenes at the White House, at
the Capitol, and wherever statesmen
OF all parties were gathered on the
day following the announcement that
Spain had demanded the recall of
General Lee, were in marked contrast
with those which were of common
occurrence under ordinary conditions
in those places, and showed how
quickly the true spirit of loyalty to
country mounts above that so fire.
quently manifesting itself in party
differences
In the House OF Representatives,
4
time, keen opposition among Demo
Gratis and Populists to the bill provid-
ing for two additional artillery regi-
ments, the bill was called up as soon
as the Journal OF Saturdays pro
ceedings had been read, and the
men who, II few days ago, were op-
posing the measure, were as ready as
the most enthusiastic of its former
supporters to take prompt action.
This incident in the House is only
an example OF the feeling which is
manifest everywhere, and which was
again manifested on the proposition
TO appropriate $4,000, 900 for de
fenses. Members of all parties, even
those who, few days ago, were criti-
cising the attitude OF the President,
are earnest now in approval OF his
firmness in the Lee incident, and in
commencing his attitude upon this
subject also commend the firmness,
dignity and conservatism with which
the entire matter has been handled.
Everywhere the handsof the Presi-
dent are being upheld by men Of all
parties. Everywhere it becomes evil
dent that when the honor Of the ma
tion is attacked, the members of ali
parties are loyal TO the nation and
to its President and that the incidents
lof party differences are buried in the
uine Anericanism of those in posi-

CAPTAIN PERAL INTERVIEWED

Declares Maine Explosion Was Not
Caused From the Outside.
Havana, March 12.-Captain Peral
president of the Spanish naval court of
Inquiry into the cause or the Maine
disaster granted an interview to this
correspondent, whom he authorized to
say 1t was the first and only interview
he had given any newspaper on the
subject of the inquiry. Captain Peral
speaks excellent English. He said:
"Our divers are hard at work exam
lining the hun of the Maine. Great diff
ficulty is experienced owing to the
deep mud in which the hull Is buried
and the condition of the wreck for
ward of amidships. The whole forward
part of the ship is a mass of iron and
steel debris. We have hoisted up much
of 1t, but in the mud it is not always
possible to tell what parts of the ship,
armor, deck, beams or stanChiOns are
found, the explosion so changed their
positions.
I'VE think we have located the ram
or prov, but not in the position sup
posed. The forward turret, mounting
two large guns, was blown clear of the
hull into the water on the starboard.
We shall continue our work and try to
examine the hull forward down to the
keel 1t is possible that we may pro-
pose to the American authorities to
raise the hull by means of the floating
dock brought from England and now
in Havana harbor.
1--WE cannot believe there was an ex-
ternal explosion of a torpedo for the
following rasons: A torpedo, follow
Ing the line of least resistance, must
have blown a great hole in the mud
at the bottom of the harbor. No such
hole was found. A torpedo must have
thrown a large mass Of water into the
air If exploded at a depth of only %
feet or 50, or at least have produced
a wave reaching the other ships and
the shore of the harbor. We have
examined everyone on shipboard or
shore who saw the explosion, but no
one can be found who remarked any
upheaval of water or a big wave.
"A torpedo explosion always kills
fish in the vicinity. No fish were killed
by the Maine disaster, as fishermen
who have known the harbor for many
years testify. To produce the effects
noted in the wreck a torpedo would
have to be of enormous size, fully 150
or 200 kilos.
Il am, therefore, of the opinion that
the explosion occurred within the ship.
1 know and respect Captain Sigsbee,
and l believe the American regulations
affecting naval conduct, which l have
read and found admirable. were care
fully observed. But some things which
cannot be foreseen are bound TO hap
pen in any navy. l have been reading
of the explosion on the English ship
Dolerel, which the English believe was
caused by chemical combustion in the
paint used for quick drying. l have
also read an English account of shells
that We're found burst open because of
hardening points that split and pro-
duced heat, thus flashing the powder
in the interior of the shell.
"As l have said, do not believe there
was any carelessness on the part of the
officers of the Maine. l do believe there
was an accident which could not pos
Sibly be aVerted."

PHILADELPHIA'S SCANDAL.
Determined to Thoroughly Investl

Philadelphia, March 12.-When Com

of the Thirty-second ward, in open
public, made the direct charge against
certain promoters of the Schuyll;ill Val

tempt had been made to bribe him he
evidently did not anticipate the great
general effect his few weighty words
would have on the community Ever
since he made the charge it has been
the subject Of lively gossip and serious
debate, not only among councilmen
but among the citizens generally.
7. j. Costello, chairman of the bribery
investigation committee, is determined
to probe the bribery charges TO the
very bottom. And the whole commit

an interview. More than this, / have

SPAIN DOES NOT WANT WAR.

Spanish Minister Declares She VIII Do
Everything Honorable to Avert 1t.
Washington, March 12.-Senor Luis
Polo Bernabe, the new Spanish min
ister was seen at the Spanish legation
yesterday by a reporter, and for the
first time since his arrival consented to
speak concerning Spanish affairs, OBJ
serving such reticence on certain
phrases as diplomatic propriety re-
quired. Since the minister's arrival he
has received a cablegram from Captain
General Blanco stating that the Cuban
cabinet had designated Senors Seval-
lios Of New York and Barlla, secre-
tary of the Havana Chamber of Com
merce to act with Senor Angulo in ne
gotiatng a commercial treaty between
the United States and Cuba. The min
lister referred incidentally to this fact
as he regarded 1t as another evidence
of the complete autonomy which Spain
had granted to Cuba. Although Senior
Polo will be the plenipotentiary in ar
ranging a Cuban treaty, the Cuban
delegates above named, chosen by the
Cuban cabinet, will have entire control
of the terms OF such a treaty.
When Senior Polos attention was
drawn to recent critical phases of the
Spanish situation he spoke with much
reserve. The Lee incident happened
while he was on the ocean, and he knew
nothing, he said, of the circumstances,
although he felt confident a misunder-
standing had grown out of some casual
allusiOns to General Lee, not meant as
any intimation that his recall was de-
sired.
The minister was then asked II he
| viewed the present condition Of affairs
between the United States and Spain as
! indicating war. After a moments hesl-
| tation he answered gravely:
Il am sure that the United States
/ does not want war, just as | am sure
that the Spanish government does not
want war; and will do everything hon
Orable in its power to avert such a
calamity"
