ONE WAVE OF APPLAUSE.
The Message of the President Read
in the House.

The Message of the President Read
in the House.
WASHINGTON, March %. = The
reading of the presidents message in
the house today was listened to with
breathless interest by the members and
spectators in the galleries, which were
crowded. Just one wave of applause
swept from floor to ceiling, and then
the death of Representative Simpkins,
of Massa chusetts, was announced and
the house adjourned.
There were no preliminaries. While
the journal was being read, Executive
Clerk Pruden appeared with the mes
sage, which was announced as soon as
the reading of the journal was conclud-
ed. The thronged galleries were
hushed as the clerk carried the docu-
ment down the main aisle and placed
it on the speakers table. Speaker
Reed himself broke the large, red seal
of the envelope, and without so much
as looking at the message handed 1t to
the clerk, at the same time announcing,
in a clear distinct voice, "a message
from the president of the United
States"
No presidential message was ever
listened to with such breathless inter-
est. Members sat with intense faces,
straining to catch every word.
When the reading Of the message
was concluded, wave Of applause
swept over the floor and galleries. The
speaker Immediately announced the
reference of the message to the COM
mittee on foreign relations. under. the
rules.
Meantime Mr.. Walker Rep., Mass.)
was on his feet, and, when recognized,
he announced, as dean Of the delega-
ton, the death Of his colleague, Repre-

lions were adopted.

introduce a political aspect into pro-
ject which is purely humane. This
acquiesence by Spain clears the way for
the presidents message of the next few
days, asking large appropriation for
the relief of restitution in Cuba. 1t
had been feared that this relief given
directly by the United States govern
ment would be resented by Spain as
indirect intervention. In that event
there is little reason to doubt the re-
lief would have been forwarded at any
cost, even the cost of war, as the ad-
ministration has felt that war in be-
half of a humane object would COM
mand the universal appreciation of the
world.

nection with the Maine, and, therefore,
there is no response beyond the submits
sion Of the Spanish report.
Following the call of the Spanish
minister at the state department, the
French ambassador, M. Cambon, had a
conference with Judge Day. This re-
newed the talk of European mediation,
which is assuming tangible form. The
speech of Premier HanotauX in the
French chamber last Saturday is looked
upon as foreshadowing at least SYM
pathy, if not direct steps toward medi-
alton by France and other continental
powers. There is good reason to be-
lieve Spain is ready and anxious for
this move, and has been encouraging it
at the European capitals.
1t would not be an offensive intrusion
but more friendly offer to mediate the
differences which have recently threat
ened to terminate in war between the
United States and Spain. 1t is under,
stood, however, that up to the present
time, M. Cambon has not received any
definite instructions to take the initial
step in such mediation.

SPANISH COURTS REPORT
ACCIDENTAL INTERNAL Elk
PLOSION ITS CONCLUSION

Synopsis of the Document Which Is
Now on It's Way From Havana to
hington-The Facts Upon
Which the Finding Is BASED Set
Forth in DetaiI-From Spain's
Point of View.
WASHINGTON, March ga full
synopsis Of the report of the Spanish
naval commission, which investigated
the destruction of the battleship Maine.
is here given by the Associated Press.
1t Is taken from copy Of the orig
1nal report which is now on it's way
here from Havana, the synopsis being
cabled in the meantime and today
placed in the hands Of the government.
The conclusions reached are directly
opposite to those in the report of the
court Of inquiry submitted to congress.
The synopsis is as follows:
The report contains declarations made by
ocular witnesses and experts. From these
statements 1t deduces the absence of ali of
those attendant circumstances which are in
variably present on the occasion of the ex-
plosion Of a torpedo.
The evidence Of witnesses comparatively
close to the Maine, at the moment, is to
the effect that only one explosion occurred;
that no column Of water was thrown into
the air; that no shock to the side Of the
nearest vessel was felt, nor on land was
any vibration noticed, and that no dead fish
were found.
The evidence of the senior master Of the
harbor states there are fish in the harbor,
and this Is corroborated by other witnesses.
The assistant engineer of works states
that after the explosions made during the
execution of works In the harbol he has
always found dead fish.
The divers were unable to examine the
bottom Of the Maine which was buried in
the mud. but a careful examination Of the
sides of the vessel, the rents and breaks in
which all point outward shows without
doubt that the explosion was from the in
side.
A minute examination Of the bottom of
the harbor around the vessel shows abso-
lutely no sign of the action of a torpedo,
and the judge advocate of the commission
can find no precedent for the explosion of
the storage magazines of vessel by tor
Dedo.
The report states that owing to the spe-
cial nature of the proceedings followed and
the absolute respect shown for the extra
territoriality Of the Maine. the commission
examination Of the inside of the vessel as
would determine even the hypothesis of the
internal origin Of the accident This Is
to be attributed to the regrettable refusal
the Spanish commission by the com
mander and crew Of the Maine and the Diff
ferent commanders commissioned to nvesti,
gate the cause of the accident and later
on with those employed in salvage work.
The report finishes by stating that an ex-
animation of the inside and outside of the
Maine as soon as such examination may be
possible as also of the bottom where the
vessel rests, will prove that supposing the
remains (of the wreck not to be totally or
partially altered in the process of extrac-
ton, the explosion was undoubtedly due to
some interior cause.

SOLDIER COMMITS SUICIDE.
Private McComas Driven to Death by
Thougllt1ess Accusation.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 1.-The body of a
soldier was washed ashore at Old Point.
BY reason of the fact that two fingers
were missing from one Of the drowned
mans hand the body was recognized as
that of Private William McComas, Co. d,
Second United States regular infantry. In
the same way it was identified as that Of
q man who jumped from the rear pier sew
eral days ago and was never seen alive
afterward.
McComas was shot while with his regi-
ment at Santiago, losing two fingers and
was sent to the hospital at 0ld Point
Passengers on the ship which brought him
up jestingly accused the soldier of having
himself fired the shot which caused the
loss Of his fingers and accused him of cow
ardice and a desire to escape further duty
at the front. This preyed on the soldier 5
mind, his acquaintances say, and he be-
came morose and silent.
When the body came ashore a great
wound was discovered in the breast The
testers did not know that McComas had
been shot on the battlefield. He had NOT
spoken of it. He was buried with military
honors in the military cemetery at Hamp-
ten Roads today.
