PREPARING FOR AN ADVERSE REPORT.
THE SPANISH STATEMENT READ WITH GREAT
INTEREST IN WASHINGTON.

INTEREST IN WASHlNGIDN
Washington. March 17-The semi-ofical
statement Issued in Madrid advancing the Gov
ernment view that demand for indemnity
based on Spanish responsibility for the Maine
explosion would be Indignantly repeed by Spain
attracted much interest in official circles here.
There has been little doubt for some time that
Spain was preparing for the contingency OF an
adverse report by the American Court Of In
quiry, and to that end was preparing 10 antici-
pate and offset it by making clear the Govern
ment policy OF standing by the Spanish Com
mission. The representative of the latter body
was due in Madrid yesterday. and while It's
decisions are not officially known, it is a fore
gone conclusion that It will find that the Maine
disaster due to accident resulting in internal
explosion This was foreshadowed in the ad-
vance utterances OF Captain Peral, head OF the
Spanish Commission. who stated publicly sew
eral days ago that the theory Of external ex-
plosion untenable.
Along with the semi-official statement from
Madrid that demand for indemnity will be
Indignantly repelled is the further statement
from trustworthy sources that Spain has made
it cleai to the authorities here that intervention
may lead to war The prospects OF interven-
tion appear to be seriously entertained by
Spain and strong efforts have been made 10
avert it by showing that the condition OF the
reconcentrados did not warrant the step. and
that it would threaten 10 end all prospects OF
further pacific negotiations.
Both Governments have been sounding each
other TO their activity in searching for ships,
but there has been little ground for objection
either side as both have been in the same
markets. The Administration explains Its buy
ing Of ships on the ground that Spain's attitude
has been menacing as naturally to call for an
augmented Navy while Spain takes the view
States
suitable preparations by the Spanish Navy.
The report that Spain had protested against
a filibus,ering expedition to Porto Rico cannot
be verified, officials here say the expedition
has not vet got away.
