HON. F. J. PHELPS OPINION.
Claim of United States for Indemnity for
 Loss of Maine.


 Loss of Maine.
 The Hon. p. J. Phelps, ex-United States minister to England, was called upon yesterday by a representative of his opinion respecting the claim of the United States for indemnity for the loss of the Maine. MT. Phelps said: Had the Maine been blown up through the agency of Spain, the destruction of the ship would have been an act of war. But that supposition is not, in my Judgment, conceivable, and it may, I think, be safely assumed that the re- port of the board of inquiry will reject it. If it shall appear by the report that the explosion was caused from the outside, and by the agency of the Spanish subjects, the United States government would still have no claim upon Spain for reparation, unless it could also be shown that the occur renee was due to the neglect of the Spanish authorities to afford such pro- tection against it as in the exercise of ordinary prudence and care was requi- site and within their power
 While the comity and the usage of nations admits to their ports the pub lie vessels of countries with which their relations are friendly and receives them with marked tokens of courtesy and respect, the safety of such ships against accident or outrage by parties unknown is not guaranteed by the na- tion in whose waters they lie. And especially where no reason for appre- hending such an event is known to ex- ist. All that can be required where no danger of that sort is anticipated is that the usual and ordinary precau- tions of police and harbor regulations shall be observed and that prompt ac- tion shall follow any warning that it is likely to be necessary.
 Whether due care has been observ- ed in these respects is question of fact to be determined upon the evil dence and the circumstances of the case, in regard to which no arbitrary rule can be laid down beforehand The burden of proof in case of dispute is upon the party who claims that the injury is due to official neglect But it would be an unjust imputation upon the nations concerned to anticipate that such a qpastion, in the case of such a calamity, would not be discuss ed on both sides with fairness and candor that would lead to a right and satisfactory conclusion and avoid any disturbance of the relations between the countries"

Gold From Sea Water.

New York, March 1.-The Times to-4 morrow will publish the following: About 92 ounces of bullion in the pro-. portion of one-third gold to two-t thirds silver and valued at about $480 was re- ceived at the assay office to-day in thir- teen cones. It came from the electro- type company of Boston and Arthur B. Ryan, it's president, claims that the metatl was extracted from sea water at North, Lube, Me. Assays will be made and on them will depend whati to be paid for the bullion

has been the source of grave apprehen- sion by the Spanish government.
 Spanish Attitude.


 The semi official statement given out at Madrid, advancing the government view that demand for indemnity based on Spanish responsibility for the Maine explosion would be indignantly repelled by Spain, attracted much at tention in official circles here. There has been little doubt that Spain was preparing for the contingency of an ad- verse report by the American court of inquiry and was preparing to offset it by making clear the government policy by standing by the report of the Span ish court. The commissions represen- tative was due in Madrid yesterday and it is a foregone conclusion that the commission will find that the Maine disaster was due to accident resulting in an internal explosion. The state- ment comes from reliable sources that Spain has made it clear that the inter- vention may lead to war.
 Sounding Each Other.
 Both governments have been sound ing each other on the activity of the other in searching for ships but here is little ground for objection on either side. The administration explains it's buying of ships on the ground that Spain's attitude has been so menacing as naturally to call for an augmented navy, while Spain takes the view that the activity in the United States re- quires suitable preparations by the | Spanish navy. The report that Spain has protested against the filibustering expedition to Porto Rico cannot be verified as officials here say the expe- dition has not yet got away.

BOARD OF FINANoE MEETING.
Bills Approved and Other Business Trans-
 acted Last Night.


 The board of finance met last night and after signing the weekly bills Pres ident Morgan of the board of fire com missioners was heard. He said that re- pairs were necessary to the Ganlewell system of fire signals used here and that the cost of the repairs would pos sibly be more than $1OO. The charter requires that all work which requires an expenditure of more than $100 shall be advertised for, but since the Game we'll company alone can make these re- pairs, President Morgan asked if it would be necessary to advertise for bids on the work. The board of finance referred the' matter to the corporation counsel for an opinion.
 President Mix of the police commits sion and Superintendent Wrinn appear ed before the board and asked for an appropriation of $550 with which to erect the proposed addition to the rear of the police building. They were in- formed by the board that the contin- gent fund was nearly exhausted and that after bills are paid only $16 will remain in it. The gentlemen from the police department were therefore in- formed that the board of finance would be unable to recommend an appropria- tion for the purpose mentioned. They were informed, however that if they could find money in the police appro- priation to do the work they could erect the addition. President Mix stat ed that the police department had just about enough money to pay it's ex- penses and make ends meet. The ad- dition will, therfore, probably not be milf

FROSTS IN CALIFORNIA.
Reports Indicate Great Damage to Tender
 Varieties of Fruit.

Reports knulCHte Sreat DaIuHge bO leuueE
 Varieties of Fruit.
 San Francisco, March T.-Dispatohes to the Associated Press from all par-s of the state indicate that frosts which have prevailed for the past few mornings, have done great damage to the more tender varieties of fruit, In many parts of the state the apricot crop will be almost total failure. Peaches have also suffered severely. Nearly all of the fruit trees are in blossom or budding and the cold weather came at a most inopportune time. Late varieties Of fruit will make fair crops. Prunes, one of the staple products of California, have not been injured to any appreciable extent. Early corn and potatoes have been cut down. Early almonds will not produce more than one third the usual yield and while cherries have been considerably thinned, trees were in many places overloaded and the damage will not be excessive. Grain is looking well in nearly all parts of the state.

Another Successful Trial in Staten Island
 Sound.

Sound.
 New York, March 17.-There was another successful trial of the sub- marine boat Holland in Staten Island sound to-day. The vessel left the Rar- itan drydock at 4:25 and proceeded up the sound to Seawarren. The tug Sal lie P. Linderman having on board party of officials of the Holland com pany, accompanied the Holland. The boat was submerged and worked to the entire satisfaction of MT. Holland, who was in charge of her. The vessel was sent only at the rate of about eight miles an hour. While the hull was under the water all the time the flagstaffs remained above water all the time except when the vessel disap- peared entirely. The Holland remain ed out until about 6:10, and then re- turned to her dock. The time Mr. Hol- land said was satisfactory as was also the working of the boat.
