in extending relief to the sufferers I'm
Cuba on a far greater scale than hith-
erto had been contemplated. On the
contrary, Spain has made known that
il recognizes the humane purposes ami
mating this country, and that IL does
not doubt that the purposes viii be
executed In such "A way as to avoid all
opportunity for friction. IL Is not eX-
pected that the relief VIII be carried
In warshipe. as this would Introduce n
political aspect into a project which Is
purely humane This acquiescence by
Spain clears the way for the presi-
dents message of the next few days,
asking a large appropriation for the re-
lief of restitution In Cuba. ii had been
feared that relief given directly by the
United States government would be re-
scented by Spain as indirect interven-
ton. In that event. there is little doubt
that the relief would have been for
warded at any cost. even the cost OF
war, as the administration has felt that
a war in behalf of a humane OBJECT
would command the universal appro-
baton of the world.
Another important Spanish document
which reached the government during
the day was the abstract OF the report
of the Spanish naval commission which
investigated the destruction of the
Maine. 1t is the only answer that
Spain has thus far made To the action
of this government i'm submitting TO
Spain. through Minister Woodford, the
findings of the American court. The
conclusion reached by the Spanish COM
mission are directly the opposite to
those Of the American court. NO de-
mands have been made in connection
with the Maine, and therefore there is
no response beyond the submission al
the Spanish report.
Following the call of the Spanish min
lister at the state department the Frencf
ambassador. NJ. Cambon, had "A confer
ence with Judge Day. This renewed
the talk of European mediation, whict
is assuming tangible form. The speech
Of Premier HanotauN in the Pari'

as foreshadowing at least sympathy,

France and other continental powers
There Is good reason IN believe tina
Spain is ready and anxious for thi
move and has been encouraging II a

be an offensive intrusion. but more

and Spain. Ii Is understood that up I

Cubans. las long as the yellow flag of
Spain salutes the sky over the afflicted

bans would die to a man rather than
accept anything less than ~independ-

MIR. Money said there was but one
remedy, and hat was such action by
the United States as would bring war
i'm Cuba 10 an end. He thought we
should make decisive demands upon
Spain for the cessation of hostilities in
Cuba. as we stand responsible TO MIS-
tory for our action now. IL such action
should bring war. let war come. An
sort OF war is better" aid he, than
a rotting peace"
In the present condition OF his
try a tempest is needed to clear the
atmosphere, ant he was firm in the be-
lief that an honorable war with Spain
would be from many points of view a
desirable contamination OF u present
, difficulty. Mr.. Money referred briefly
TO the message of the president in re-
Iation to the ain disaster. and then
declared that il was not becoming In
ongres to wait the slow processes OF
diplomacy.
He had no confidence in the Ameri-
can congress. He did not desire TO Of
fer factious opposition To the admins
tration's policy. but. for one, he would
not abdicate his right to act for himself
and those whom he represented.

nothing 10 tarnish the brilliant luster
of Its past. While we do not and shall
not ask for the approval of other ma
tons. we will always their

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT
A Synopsis of the Report by the
Spanish Commission.
AN INSIDE EXPLOSION
It Asserts Absence of All Circum-
stances Attendant on a Torpedo
Explosion Dead Fish
Found Afterward.

Washington. March 2s.-A full synopsis
of the report OF the Spanish naval com
mission which investigated the destruc-
ton Of the battleship Maine Is here given
by the Associated Press. IL Is taken
from a copy of the original report which
is now on its way from Havana, the
synopsis being cabled and today placed
In the hands OF this government. The
conclusions are directly opposite 10 those
in the report of the court i'm inquiry sub
mitted to congress today. The synopsis
is as follows:
The report contains declarations made
by ocular witnesses and experts. From
these statements IL deduces and proves
the absence of all those attendant circum-
| stances which are invariably present on
the occasion of the explosion of a tor
pedo.
THE evidence OF witnesses COMPARE
lively close to the Maine at the moment is
TO the effect hat only one explosion oc-
CURED: 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 pilot OF
the harbor states that there is abundance
of fish I'm the harbor. and this IL corrob-
GRATED by other witnesses. The assist
ant engineer of works states that after
explosions made during the execution OF
works In the harbor, he has always found
dead fish.
THE divers were unable to examine the
bottom of the Maine. which was buried
I'm the mud. but a careful examination of
the sides of the vessel, the rents and
breaks of which all point outward, shows
without a doubt that the explosion was
from the inside.
"A minute examination Of the bottom
of the harbor around the vessel shows
absolutely no sign of the action of a tor
pedo. and the judge advocate of the COM
mission can find no precedent for the ex-
plosion of the storage magazine of thu
vessel by "A torpedo.
THE report makes clear that owing t'
the special nature of the proceedings FOL
lowing. and the absolute respect shown
for the extra territorial idea OF IN
Maine. the commission has been prevent
ed from making such an examination o
the inside of the vessel as would deter
mine even the hypothesis of the interna
origin of the accident. This is attrib
uted TO the regrettable refusal to per
init a necessary cooperation OF the span
lsh commission both with the commando
and crew of the Maine and the differen
American officials commissioned TO In
yestignte the cause of the accident. ano

Brooklyn, and. reading his commission
as commander, took possession. Al the
same time his flag was flown from the
Brooklyn's masthead and one Of the big
guns belched forth a salute, which was
answered from the Massachusetts, lying
near. Then the enthusiasm broke loose
and there was a roar OF applause from
deck and yards. shortly after the ofii-
GERS OF the battleship Massachusetts
