Advance order Being Prepared by Rear
Admiral Sicard of tho sqGadron.


Kew West. Fla. Feb. 19.-Rear Ad-
miral Sicard is preparing n precept, or
advance order, for assembling the
Court of Inquiry here into the loss Of
the Maine. The warships Iowa, In
diana and Massachusetts are expected
tonight or tomorrow morning. Their
officers and those of the cruiser New
York will probably compose majority
of the court.
The court may proceed later to
Havana. A room in the Federal Court
here will most likely be secured for
the sittings.

crew of the Maine saw n small object

SILVER MEN HOPEFUL.
Indications That Fusion Will he the Or
der of the Day.

/
der of the Day.
Denver, Feb. 19.--A special to the
Republican from Washington says:
The silver forces are in high spirits.
They have every confidence that they
will win in the coming congressional
elections. Reports from states where
work has been pushed to secure the
cooperation of forces indicate that In
most instances the plans of the lead
ers here in Washington VIII be sue
cessful. The most gratifying report
received by the silver men is from
Utah, where the opposition to Frank
Cannon in the Democratic ranks was
so pronounced that 1t looked for Il
time as II the silver parties In that
state could not unite and that the eff
fort to return Cannon would not be
successful. The Democrats insisted
upon running a candidate of their own
and told the silver leaders here that
the position of the national DemOc-
racy on tine silver question was such
as to insure Democratic majorities
and the election of Democrat to the
House and to the Senate. 1t Is be-
lieyed from the reports just received
that satisfactory arrangement will
be made and that Cannon will have
the support of all the silver parties.
This has been brought about by the
assistance promised the Democrats In
other states, notably in Wyoming,
where 1t is proposed and seems agreed
upon that all silver parties will sup
port Democrat to succeed Clark.
The silver parties will also support
Democrats in California and Oregon
for the Senate. There Is yet some
trouble In Montana. Hartman, n Sill
yer Republican. is sure of being re-
turned to the House, but Mantle, Sill
yer Republican. is meeting with some
opposition In his fight for the Senate.
The Democrats say they have large
percentage of the silver vote and that
they ought TO have representatives in
the national Legislature. Besides.
they say that Mantle voted for the
tariff bill and they cannot make Dem
ocrnts support him. The silver forces.
however, say that some adjustment
can be. made. They hope 1t will not be
necessary to sacrifice any of the
friends of silver in Congress. because
they believe that success can be
achieved with men who have been
tried and who have experience. In
Colorado it is said that so far moth
ing has developed to disturb the pro-

districts that they will he available

MESSAGE FROM CAPT. sIossEE.

Washington. Feb. 19-The Navy De-
partment tonight received the follow
ing message from Captain Sigsbce at
Havana.
with Generals Lee and Cowles to-
day visited Captain General Blanco
and other chiefs of civil and military
branches of government and returned
thanks for great demonstration of SYM
pathy yesterday and for their contin-
ued care for the dead and for other
good offices now being exercised in our
behalf Received additional assur-
ances of sympathy and desire to help.
Spanish authorities feel situation
acutely. l have promised to maintain
official character of all work done on
wreck of the Maine. No friction any
where. SIGSBEE."
The reference TO the official character
of the work is interpreted at the Navy
Department that no divers hired by
newspapers will be allowed to inves-
tigatc the wreck. As to the published
statements that Spain intends to claim
joint interest in the work of the
court of inquiry. the department says
that under the harbor regulations of
any civilized port, the local nuthori-
ties are bound to make an official inves-
tigation of any wreck occurring in
their jurisdiction irrespective of the
nationality of the vessel or of any in
vestigation by another government, in
case it is n craft owned by n foreign
power.
AS the matter is understood here, this
is the only right Spain claims in the
case. and it is conceded to be entirely
fair. This statement of the case was
confirmed at the Spanish legation.

noon that the coast survey steamer

NEWS OF THE MAINE.
THE WRECK WILL BE RAISED
Ready to Investigate-Both Countries Will
PartIcipate-Hnrd Work for Divers.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-The naval
court of inquiry appointed to inves;i-
gate the Maine disaster will begin It's
work mt Havana tomorrow This news
came to the Navy department this
morning from Admiral Sicard mt Key
West. He simply telegraphed as fol
lows:
1.-The court OF inquiry sail for Havana
on 10th by lighthouse steamer Man
grove. Mark arrived to-day
This prompt action is undoubtedly
due to the express direction of Secrc-
tary Long sent yesterday to have the
investigation begun NJ the earliest pos
sible moment. The telegram was dated
yesterday, so the board arrived there
before nightfall and will be ready to
begin Its work tomorrow morning.
The following dispatch was received
from Captain Sigsbee to-day:
Havana, Feb. 19.-Only most expert
enced wrecking divers can do effective
work on the Maine In the upper
works cnn use service divers. Did
some work to-day. but with little sue
cess. VIII do better tomorrow. Parts
OF Maine, especially the superstructurc
and connections are one confused mass
of metal.
Another brief telegram from Captain
Sigsbee reads:
Havana. Feb. 2O.-Bache." which
means that the coast survey steamer
has arrived ut Havana, bringing on
board all the diving apparatus sent
from the squadron.
Tho statement referring to expert
cnccd divers is explained at the Navy
department as no reflection upon the
men now engaged in the work. they

navy. 1t is the practice on board men

MAINE DISASTER DISCUSSED
Senator Mason Wants Rigid InvestiEA-

Unnecessary Excitement

Washington, Feb. ia debate, de-
cided in its sensations, was unexpect-
edly precipitated in the Senate yester-
day over the consideration OF the reso-
luton OF Mr. Allen of Nebraska direct
ing the committee on naval affairs to
investigate the disaster 10 the Maine
An arrangement has been made for Its
adoption with minor amendment,
without debate. MI Mason of Illinois,
however, proposed n substitute prov1d-
ing for an investigation TO be conduct
ed by joint committee of the two
branches of Congress.
Upon this the Illinois senator, disre-
garding an appeal not TO force n dis
cussion at this time of so melancholy
an affair. delivered a speech in which
he said that the people demanded the
truth concerning the explosion, and de-
clarcd that they would not be salts
fled with the investigation to be con-
ducied by 20 officers of the navy, who
would virtually try their own case and
would cover up any blame that the of
ficials might show attached to them.
He fiercely denounced the policy of
the government in dealing with the Gu
ban question, into which lie went Mt
length, and declared that the United
States had adopted the policy of Spain
in putting Off until tomorrow.
Sharp replies to Mr.. Mnson's charges
were made by Mr.. Wolcott OF Colo
RADIO and Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts.
The speeches of both senators bristled
with cutting criticisms of the remarks
made by the senator from Illinois, and
1t wns clear that both senator's regard
ed the situation as grave in the cX-
treme. Senator Wolcott freely admitted
that war might come and that he
thought the day might not be far dis
tant. He, like Senator Lodge. depre-
Gated any utterances on the floor of the
Senate calculated 10 further asSravate
the serious state of affairs.
The resolution which precipitated the
discussion finally went over TO the cal
endar.
Soon after the Senate met Mr.. iale
of Maine obtained the floor and intro
duced the following joint resolutions;
That the secretary of the navy be
and is hereby authorized to engage the
services of n wrecking company or
companies having proper facilities for
the prompt and efficient performance
of submarine work, for the purpose of
recovering the remains of the officers
and men lost on The United States

The resolution was prepared mt the
Navy Department and introduced n the
request of Secretary Long. who in for
warding 1t 10 Mr.. Hale also sent let
ter explaining its purpose.
The secretary enclosed a table show
ing the. cost of number of items of the
ordnance outfit Of the vessel, all nggre-
eating $500. 1872.
After amending the resolution so as
to provide for bringing bodies home for

1.-THE STAR OF JAiNIsM."
Comes From Bombay to Tonch Us the
Hindoo Religion,


Not least prominent among orientals
whom Chicagoans will remember rs
taking prominent part in the parlia-
ment of religions in worlds fair days
was Virchand r. Gandhi. He is secre-
tary of the Jain association, an Indian
religious body said to have 5,0Oo,Ooo
members. Mr.. Gandhi is once more In
this country, having come to acquaint
the American people with the doctrines
taught by his religion. He believes
that when oriental religion is present
ed, divested of the narrowing intiu-
ences which certain sects have impos-
ed upon it. the result will be revela-
tion to the people of the west. When
he was here for the first time he was
deeply impressed by the system OF
common schools in this country. And
so he has come back to interest Ameri-
cans in the problem of education III
India. "The great need of the coun-
try" he said. "is free schools for the
masses. Ninety per cent of the popu-
lation cannot read or write. The coun-
try has been under one form or another
of foreign rule for 5000 years. The re-
lack of ambition in the majority Of
the people. Education, free education,
is the only way to raise them out OF
their present condition. In my opinion.
the best way to begin is to educate the
women, who will in turn teach the
children: and SO / have started the
international Society for the Educa-
tion of the Women of India" The
Jains. of whom Mr.. Gandhi is leader,
are the most enlightened and catholic
religious body in India. In their teach
ing there is little or no separate dogma.
They take the various religions OF the
world, and endeavor to draw the es-
sential truths from each. AS result
they hold that the fundamentals of all
the chief religions are the same The
Jains divide existence into four states.
The lowest, Naraka, is somewhat akin
to the Christian hell; the next, TRY
arch, is that of the minerals. vege-
and lower orders of sentient
beings; the third is Manushyra, or that
of man; while Deva is the state of
the dwellers in the celestial world.
Nirvana is termed Moksha, the state
of existence In which mans soul has
thrown off the trammels of matter and
become divine. God, in the sense of an
extra a-cosmic personality, has no place
in the Jain philosophy. They consider
such a belief illogical. but hold that
there is a subtle, eternal essence un-
derlying all creation. conscious and un-
conscious, which is the cause OF all the
myriad notifications of the infinite.
Mr.. Gandhi is now in the east, where
he will stay for few weeks, after
ward visiting Chicago and some of the
smaller cities.

STARVING CUBANS.
A Pen Picture of Their Suffering CondI.
tIOn,

tIon.
Washington, Feb 19.-The following
extract from a private letter from lady
in Havana, describes the awful distress
of the poor recOncentrados In that
city and shows the need of contribli-
tions for their relief:
This morning" the writer says, ~
went TO help distribute food and cloth
ing to some of the rcconcentrados In an
old warehouse where lot of the sick
were corralled. 1t was the worst sight
ever saw in my life. and quite un
nerved me for the day. In the wom-
ems quarters three had died that morn
Ing. and their faces were not yet COW
cred. Several were dying, and one
child died in convulslons, clutching my
hand with fingers that felt like birds
claws. The bones of all seemed nearly
pricking through, the children were
covered with sores and many of them
had their feet and legs terribly swollen
-scurvy and dropsy, l suppose, from
fever. starvation and poor. food, when
they have any food at all. Twenty
three thousand homeless orphans in
this province alone, to say nothing of
the rest of Cuba, and the sick and help
less adults. 1t was about 1870 n. IN.
at the time of my visit to that particu-
lar corral, and none of them had had
a mouthful to eat that day and only
one meal the day before. of soup made
from sailed pork and rice, which, of
course, the babies and the sick did not
relish. They give the children con-
densed milk with hot water; whenever
they can get it, but condensed milk is
very dear here. and often for days to-
gether none can be had. Naturally
sent out post haste for milk. dldn',
have much money with Inc, only few.
silver pesos. but 1 gave every cent of
lit and, as had dismissed the carriage
nt the door tCuban fashion, you know,
intending to take another on the return,
had to walk back to the hotel, two
miles or more over these stony streets.
The. result was that for twenty-four
hours my feet had the toothache. and
felt rs if they had been bastinadocd.'
