THE REPORT NOT YET.

An Early Finding.

Key West. Fla, March 17.-No mem
Der of the Court of Inquiry came on
shore from the Iowa today, and it was
impossible to learn on board the battle
ship what, il anything. had been done.
Not until a late hour tonight was the
correspondent of the Associated Press
able TO ascertain from Rear Admiral
Sicard the status of the investigation.
Admiral Sicard said:
1T is impossible at this stage to say
how soon the court will be ready to
make it's report. The members are con
tinuing their labors. When they are
ready to re-eXamine the officers of the
Maine whom | have detained here, they
will either do so in the Federal building
or summon them to the Iowa.
The courts report has not vet been
made. and / am unable to say when it
will be. The notice that it would be in
Washington by Saturday was probably
based purely on differences. 1t should
Sc borne in mind that the work of the
court necessarily progresses slowly
There is good authority for the as
sertion that the court will probably re-
turn to Havana before reaching its CON
illusions.
