WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-The excite
ment of the past few days has mostly
disappeared at the Navy Department

who have been working night and day
since the Maine disaster to meet the
Inquiries of anxious relatives of the
victims, While keeping up the current
work of the office We're able to turn,
attention to less pressing matters.
The first dispatch that came to hand
relative tosthe disaster was one from
Admiral Sicard, dated at Key West
last night. 1t was as follows:
Secretary of the Navy: Bache sailed
from Key West for Havana with the
divers and stores for the Maine. The
Iowa comes to Key West on the 10Th.
and the Sampson court of inquiry on
the Maine assembled on the arrival
here Of Lieutenant Mark The Mas
sachusetts and Indiana are at Tortugas.
Fifteen officers and forty-seven men
from the Maine have been distributed
at the Key West Marine Hospital and
the army barracks. More are due here
on the 18th by the Mangrove. I shall
hold all al Key West pending the court
of inquiry.
NO one of the twenty-one appren-
tees that the Texas took from New
York for the Maine was on board the
Maine at the time of the explosion.
as no opportunity had offered to trans
fer them from the Texas, where they
still remain"

on his way from Washington TO Key
West, who with Captain Sampson. Cap
tain Chadwick and Lieutenant-Com-
mander Potter will constitute the court
of inquiry. Lieutenant-C Commander
Mark viii be the Judge Advocate of
the court, and lay down the line of
procedure. being somewhat Of an ex-
pert in that matter. 1t is believed at
the Navy Department that he cannot
reach Key West early to-day from
Tampa, owing TO the lack of a regular
boat, but 1t is thought that he win be
there in time TO conduct the investiga-
ton when it opens next Monday.
While the court is entirely master OF
it's own proceedings, the department
does not doubt that after a few pre-
liminary sessions in Key West. which
will lay the foundation for further in
vestigation through the taking of the
testimony of the survivors now at Key
West, the beard will proceed to Ha-
vana. At that place the work can be
conducted rapidly to a finish. with the
assistance of Captain Sigsbee and the
information gathered by the divers
from the wreck.
Touching the question of the exam
ination of the wreck by divers. Captain
Sigsbee has teiegraphed that he had
made arrangements with the Spanish
officials for the prosecution OF the in
quiry, and that there is no friction. SO
that the officials believe there is no
reason now TO Interfere with the naval
officer In the discharge of his duty.
As the Navy Department is still be-
sieged with applications for the return
of the bodies of the Maine victims TO
the United States for burial, and as
the matter has figured in Congress, it

may be we'll to note that Captain Sigs-
bee. for at least third time, in an
swer to questions. has expressed the
opinion that the bodies cannot be re-
moved from Havana. He has pointed
out that the condition is rot such as to
permit removals; that embalming is
only imperfectly done in Havana. and
that Identification of many bodies is
not possible. This morning he tele
graphed that the bodies of the two
officers, Merritt and jenkins. could not
be found, and repeated that it would
be inpracticable to remove bodies.
Some of the surgical officers here say
that they know by experience that Cap
tain Sigsbees conclusion is sound, and
they say that successful enbalming IS
not possible where the circulatory sys-
tenn of the body has been destroyed.
as in the case of the rnangled victims
of the Maine.

Expressions OF coincidence Stlil con-
tinue to flow into the State Department
from sympathetic foreign nations.
Notable among them was one that
came to hand last evening from the
Queen Regent Of Spain as follows:
MADRID, Feb. 1S.-President Nc
Kinley. Washington: Her Majesty, the
Queen, has just sent one of the gentle-
men of the royal household to express

TRIAL OF NOVELIST lola.
ANOTHER SENSATIONAL DAY
IN THE PROCEEDINGS.
Gen. EeIlieux Assails Col. Ficuuart
The Judge Stops Laborie
Making a Speech.

PARIS, Feb. 19.-The crowd present
at the lola trial to-day was very largo,
but comparative quiet was maintained.
NJ Laborie counsel for Nj. lola. ask
ed Colonel Picquart if the bordereau
was written in March or April, 1884,
and the witness answered that he did
not remember.
General Pellieux refused to answer
questions put to him in conformity
with his statement yesterday that il
was for the Advocate -General to deal
with questions outside of the Zoia
case He added: Il am of the opin-
ion that throughout this trial strange
things have happened A person here"
turning towards Colonel Picquart-
and l say it to his face (sensation),
who still wears the uniform of the
French army, comes TO this court and
accuses military men of having COM
mitted forgery and of having turned
it to account" prolonged cheers from
the back of the court)
To this Colonel Picquart replied: II
have said L had too much respect for
my chiefs and for justice to withhold
the truth, and 1 say it again, in the
presence Of my chiefs
Il also say the soldiers are animated
by good faith,' said NJ Laborie, but
You are making a Speech" inter
rupted the presiding Judge.
No" replied NJ. Laborie, II wish to
establish something of the greatest inn
timidate me-
You are making Speech" said the
presiding Judge again. L shall have
to stop YOU
Il am obliged to you every time you
stop me" remarked NJ. Laborie, las
you thereby confer fresh honors upon
me-" (Cheers)
This caused General Pellieux TO re-
mark: He has just played with the
case, and played with it against my
WILL
Nj. Laborie began to comment upon
these statements, but the presiding
Judge threatened him with disciplinary
punishment if he did not cease talk
ing.
The action of the court caused row
in the back of the courtroom. and Nj.
Laborie passionately addressed the dis
turbers, saying: What rejoiced you is
TO see right and justice violated more
and more every day
Then addressing NJ. Zola, NJ Laborie
exclaimed: Il ask myself whether it
would not be better for US to leave the
court than TO allow ourselves to be
treated as we are treated" Uproar.J
Colonel Picquart said the paper re-
ferred TO in Major Rayary's report ap-
peared to apply to an officer of a line
regiment rather than to a staff officer
Several witnesses. including Anatoie
France. testified to NJ Zola's courage
and good faith.
The court announced that the coun-
Gil of Ministers had declined to author.
ize General Billot. the Minister of War
to testify. and the defense made the
announcement that it would not call
any more witnesses.
The court then adjourned until Mon
day.

The senate Resolutions.
Following is the majority resolution re-
ported to the senate by Senator Davis at
the converting of the senate today;
"Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near our
own borders, have shocked the moral sense
Of the people OF the United States, have
been disgrace to Christian civilization,
eliminating as they have in the destrue-
ton of a United States battleship, with
266 OF its officers and crew, while ON a
friendly visit to the harbor of Havana,
and can not longer be endured, as has
been set forth by the president of the
United States in his message to congress
of April IL, 1898, upon which the action
of congress was invited.
Resolved, Erst-That the Cubans are
and of right ought to be free and indie
pendent.
"Second-That it is the duty of the
government Of the United States to de-
mand that the government of Spain at
once relinquish its authority and govern
ment in the island Of Cuba, and withdraw
its land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters.
"Third-That the president of the Unit
ed States be and is hereby directed and
empowered to use the entire land and ma,
val forces of the United States, and to
call into the actual service of the United
States the militia OF the several states TO
such extent as may be necessary to carry
these resolutions into eeifet.'
The minority report is very brief, and
recognizes in so many words the indie
pendence of the republic of Cuba.
No demonstration occurred either upon
the floor or in the galleries during the
reading of the report of the committee.
The report made deep impression. 1t is
regarded as a powerful, almost bitter, ar.
raignment of Spain.
Senator Turpie presented the report oil
the minority of the committee, as follows:
The undersigned, members of the com
mittee on foreign relations, concur in the
report made upon the Cuban resolutions;
but we favor the immediate recognition
OF the republic OF Cuba, as organized in
that island, as Il free, independent and
sovereign power among the nations OF the
world"
The vote was then taken on the adop-
tion OF the majority resolutions, and they
were adopted, 322 to 10. The names OF
