.S0bRAL REPEATS
 HIS INSULT
To An Age-HeraId Correspon- dent He Again Criticises Un-
 cle Sam's Navy Discipline.
Special to the Age-Herald.
Special to The Age-Herald.

New York, Feb. 20.-Commander l. a Sobral, just returned from two dayss stay on board the Spanish man-of-wap Vizcaya, reiterated today in still stronger terms than before his opinion that the United States cruiser Maine was blown up in Havana harbor through the negligence of her own crew.
 This fresh insult from the commander was spoken to the correspondent of Tho l Age-Herald in the Metropolitan hotel. when he called. The commander was apparently much agitated.
 He. stopped in the midst of his toilet to tell how little faith he had in the claims of the United States government against his beloved Spain, and of his belief that the American blue jackets were alone re. sponsible for the destruction of the ship and themselves.
 T desire, first, to say that the visit of her majesty the queen regents warshfp Vizcaya in this harbor is 0 visit of friend- ship. We come by courtesy. We expect courtesy and undoubtedly we will receive it.
 "As to the sinking of the American war ship Maine ir Havana harbor. I have no hesitation in saying that I believe the American ship was sunk through the care- lessness of American sailors. and by no outside influences or causes whatever.
 Some careless American sailor undoubt. edly took lamp and went down in the ship and set something fire that com- municated to the magazine that blew her up. That is my opinion
 Remember, am an attache of the Spanish legation. cannot say much to you. My lips are closed. But I say that carelessness of these sailors caused their destruction"
 "But suppose that vas not the case. Suppose it is proved that something out. side the ship did it. What can the United States do? Suppose some fanatic did 1t, He might be an insurgent. He might be an American He might be Spaniard-- never mind. The Spanish government would never permit itself to be held re- sponsible for the act of one criminal. never
 NATIONS WOULD NOT STAND IT.
 Do you suppose this government of the United States could hold Spain accounta. ble for such act as that? No. The na- tions would not stand 1t. Suppose this ship had been blown up by some person in q French harbor, or in London, or in Liver- pool. Do you think the United States would go to war with them? No. they would not think of 1t. They will go to waP with Spain? No. The world will not per> init It."

SPAN|ARDS SHOULD

Naval Officers Bitter Over Lieut. SobraI'S Criticism of Ameri-
 can Discipline.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Washington Feb. 2O.-Today has not nossed here without its excitement. Ugly rumors have been going the rounds the entire morning, and afternoon in spite or the fact that no dispatches have been re- ceived during the day from Havana by the state department. Secretary Long has de- nied all reports that the divers had dis covered any other indications that the Maine was blown up.
 The interview of Naval Attache Sobral, in which he says that the accident was due to incidence of the Maine's omeers mas been the chief topic for discussion in dip- lomatic and naval circles today. The om- cers of the navy are unanimous in their opinion that the Spaniards should be or dered out of the country. The National Fellows have gotten up round robin' as they call their petition asking for the summary dismissal of the spanish naval officer. He will undoubtedly be asked to withdraw If he declines to do so. his pass ports will. be given him and he will be ordered to quit the American shores. The president has been in conference with the members of the house and senate and with members of his cabinet nearly all day. owing to these cOnIeEeuceSs Ncpofto oA Q sensational character have found their way about the city, but none of them had any foundation beyond the fact that the off, oials feel deeply concerned over the af- fair and are devising ways and means to stay congress and keep the populace from excessive excitement.
 One cabinet officer who was with the president today, said tonight that one thing was certain: "The president had made up his mind that no declaration or act of his will precipitate this country into a war with Spain.
 SPAIN WILL DESIST.
 "He believes, however" continued the officer. .'that the excitement of the De- Lome incident and the disaster to the Maine have aroused public feeling in America to such an extent that Spain must recognize the hopelessness of continuing her efforts to subjugate the insurgents without molestation
 .srhe president says that he does not in- tend that the country shall be rushed into war until there is a real and unavoidable cause for war. He Is confident that we can reach a satisfactory solution of the situation without war. Why should we

 Rev West, Fla, Feb. 20.-News was re- ceived here this morning to the effect that Captain Sigsbee and his officers were now convinced of treachery and foul play fin the Maine wreck and that Captain Sigsbee had made an important report to the Washing ion officials to that effect.

Arriving ,near the house the officers were fired upon from ann bush and Massey fell from his horse, his body being torn to pieces with buckshot and Winchester balls.
 At the same instant the negroes rushed from cover and opened fire upon Dickens, but he put spurs to his horse and escaped. Excitement is high, and triple iynching is probable if Aiken and Johnson are captured by the dead mans friends in the neighborhood.

ordered to go to Havana. This Spanish news was given me by the consul here.
 It is rumored by passengers going through to port Tampa by the Olivette last night that the big explosion occurred in Havana as the steamer was leaving the bay; also a rumor that a government diver discovered another bomb near the Maine in Havana bay.
 The excitement does not abate here over the Maine calamity. Since the news has come from Cuba that the forward maga- zine had not exploded the people are more outspoken in harsh language toward the Spaniards. The Maine officers here are the most reserved and will not be inter- viewed.
 WORK ON QUALIFICATIONS.
 The work on the Qualifications here are being pushed ahead. The new fortiffea- tions |sre when completed will be impreg- nable, as the big guns will be disappear ing.
 The members of the board of inquiry will convene in few hours on board the steamer Mangrove, which left here at o'clock this afternoon for New York off 
 make examinations and return to Key West with the divers and other officers, where the testimonies of the survivors will be taken.
 The board will consist of the following gentlemen: President Capt. Wm. Samp- son, of the battleship Iowa; Judge Advo- cate, Lieutenant Commander Adolph Mar ix; executive officer receiving ship Yer mont, who has been especially detailed as he is fully acquainted with all the de- tails of the Maine. The other members are: Capt. French E. Chadwick, of the cruiser New York; Lieutenant Commander Potter, executive officer of the New York, and Lieutenant schroder. of the Massa- chusetts. Admiral Eicord visited the sta- tion this afternoon. The Mangrove will not return to the city for several days, as Q thorough investigation will have to be made. and reports of the divers heard.

 These are the words of one so close to the president as to almost make them of- fiscal. They also, forecast the future ac- tfon of the administration.
