Word comes from Washington that
Chairman Dingley and the members
of the ways and means committee
have practically determined that the
tax on beer will be doubled, if war
with Spain occurs. This will give the
country more than 100000, 900 addi-
tional revenue each year. Then sew
eral articles on the free list will be
transferred to the dutiable list, in
cluding coffee and tea. Other reve-
nue. measures will be taken to meet
the country's increased expenditures.
Even if war were avoided the in
creased expenditures would justify
placing double tax on beer. This is
a matter which Congress cannot af-
ford to overlook.

ward part of the ship are, however, esta b.
lish by the testimony:
That portion ofthe port side of the pro-
tective deck which extends from about
frame 80 to about frame 40 was blown up
aft and over to port. The main deck from
about frame 80 to about frame Al was
blown up aft, and slightly over to star
board, folding the forward part of the
middle superstructure over and on top of
the after part. This was, in the opinion
of the court, caused by the partial explo-
sion of two or more of the forward maga
zines Of the Maine.
At frame IL the outer shell of the ship
from point IL feet from the middle line
of the ship and feet above the keel when
in its normal position has been forced up
SO as to be now about four feet above the
surface of water; therefore about thirty
four feet above where it would be, had the
ship sunk uninjured. The outside bottom
plating is bent into reversed V shape,
the after wing of which, abont fifteen feet
broad and thirty feet in length, (from
frame IL to frame 21) is doubled back up
on itself again at the continuation of the
same plating extending forward. At
frame Is, the vertical keel is broken in two,
and the flat keel bent into an angle similar
to the angle formed by the outside bot
tom plating. This break is now about six
feet below the surface of the water and
about thirty feet above its normal position.
In the opinion of the court this effect
could have been produced only by the ex-
plosion of mine situated under the bot
tom of the ship, at about frame IS and
somewhat on the port side of the ship.
The court finds that the loss of the Maine
on the occasion named was not IN any re-
spect due to fault or negligence on the
part of any of the officers or members of
the crew of said vessel. In the opinion of
the court the Maine was destroyed by the
explosion of a submarine mine which
caused the partial explosion of two or more
of her forward magazines.
The court has been unable to obtain evil
dence fixing the responsibility for the de-
struction of the Maine upon any person or
persons.

TRUST THE PRESIDENT.

That fiery Senator from Illinois,
chilly" Mason, who has been one of
the 'snoisest" men in Congress, de-
Hvered one of his characteristic
speeches the other day on the Cuban
question and the destroying of the
Maine in Havana harbor. In refer
ring to the questions presented he
called upon Congress to declare war
at once. No EARNED intervention
which meant war" for him, but he
wanted war and believed in calling
things by their right name.
There has to be in all assemblies
men of this sort who are continually
crying for something which they
themselves have never tasted. Do
we hear those old heroes who are now
in Congress, who faced ''hel's fire"
on the battlefield, shouting for war?
Do we hear our own Proctor asking
that war should be declared? Senator
Proctor has made a very careful in
vestig alton of the existing conditions
on the island of Cuba and the matter
of the destruction of the Maine. He
has seen matters in their true light.
He has been on the field, and while
his heart was sad and his sympathies
for the starving and helpless recon
centrados could not be expressed in
words, he did not return to Congress
and recommend that this country en-
ter into a conflict with Spain. Why?
Because he knows what war is. He
has been through many a hard cam
paign and knows what, with the mod
ern weapons now in use, such strug-
gle would mean. In fact, very few
men who were in any way prominent
in our civil war, on either side, are
advising any such action on the part
Of this government.
Every patriotic American in the
country is heart and sympathy with
those poor Cubans who are slowly
dying from starvation and the need
of medical attention, and the Presi-
dent is and has been doing for some
time all that he could possibly do. He
recognizes the sentiments of the peo-
pie in the United States for immediate
and forcible action to eliminate from
Cuba those cursed Spanish laws which
through starvation have killed thous-
ands and hundreds of thousands of
men, women and children, and we
have faith that there is yet something
unknown to the nation which he has
done and is doing to bring about a
peaceful and satisfactory settlement
of this trouble. This cry of s'war,
war;" may seem to be necessary in

w as destroyed by an explosion, by which
the entire forward part of the ship was ut
terly wrecked. In the catastrophe two
officers and two hundred and sixty-four of
her crew perished, those who were not
killed outright by her explosion, being
penned between decks by the tangle of
wreckage and drowned by the immediate
sinking of all. Prompt assistance was
rendered by the neighboring vessels, an
chored in the harbor, aid being especially
given by the boats of the Spanish cruiser
Alphonso XII, and the Ward Line Steamer
City of Washington which lay not far dis
tant. The wounded were generously cared
for by the authorities of Hayana, the hos
pitfalls being freely opened to them, while
the earliest recovered bodies of the dead
were inferred by the municipality in
public cemetery in the city. Tributes of
grief and sympathy were offered from all
official quarters of the islands. The appal-
ling calamity fell upon the people of our
country with crushing force and for
brief time an intense excitement prevailed
which in cuminunity less just and self
controlled than ours might have been led
to hasty acts of blind resentment. This
spirit, however, soon gave way to the calm
er processes of reason and to the resolve to
investigate the facts and await material
proof before forming Judgment as to the
cause, the responsibility and if the facts
warranted, the remedy due. This course
necessarily recommended itself from the
outset to the executive for only in the light
of a dispassionately ascertained certainty
n no rotr7
of its full duty in the matter.
The usual procedure was followed as in
all cases of casualty or disaster to nation
al vessels of any maritime state. A naval
court of inquiry was at once organized,
composed of officers well qualified by rank
and practical experience to discharge the
onerous duty imposed upon them. Aided
by a strong force of wreckers and divers
the court proceeded to make a thorough
investigation on the spot, employing every
availab BILE means for the impartial and ex-
act determination of the causes of the ex-
plosion. It's operations have been con-
Quoted with the utmost deliberation and
judgment and while independently pur-

the Spanish authorities. The finding of
the court of inquiry after twenty-three
days of continuous labor, on the 21st of
March, inst, and having been approved by
the commander in chief of the United
States naval force in the north Atlantic
station, was transferred to the executive.
The remainder of the message is simply
a summary of the finding Of the Court of
Inquiry, and this will be given in another
column.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The President sent the following
Message to Congress last Monday:


For some time prior to the visit of the
Maine to Havana harbor our consular rep
resentatives pointed out the advantages to
flow from the visit of national ships to
Cuban waters in accustoming the people to
the presence of our flag as the symbol of
good will and of our ships in the fulflment
bf mission of protection of American in
erests even though no immediate need
therefor might exist.
Accordingly on the 24th of January last,
after conference with the Spanish minister
n which the renewal of visits of our war
vessels to Spanish waters was discussed
md accepted, the peninsular authorities at
Madrid and Havana were advised of the
purpose of this government to resume
friendly naval visits at Cuban ports, and
hat in that view the Maine would forth
With call at the Port of Havana. This an
houncement was received by the Spanish
Government with appreciation of the
riendIy character of the visit of the Maine
nd with notification of intention to re-
urn the courtesy by sending Spanish
hips to the principal ports of the United
ktates. Meanwhile, the Maine entered the
Iort of Havana on the 25th of January,
or arrival being marked with no special
,eident besides the exchange of customary
oIutes and ceremonial visits. The Maine
ontinued in the harbor of Havana during
he three weeks following her arrival. No
pprecia BILE excitement attended her stay,
n the contrary, a feeling of relief and con-
dence followed the resumption of the
mo interrupted friendly intercourse. So
oticeable was this immediate effect of her
isit that the consul-general strongly
roed that the presence OF our ships in
nban waters should be kept up by re-
aiming the Maine at Havana, or In the
vent of her recall by sending another yes
j there to take her place.
AT forty minutes past nine in the eve
of the 18th of February, the Maine
