of explosion. We can afford to wait a
little longer, seeing that we have waited
SO long. We could not wait after 1t had
once been proved that the Maine disaster
was the result of a dastardly plot,
Spanish officers from the old country hold
to the unaccountable belief that their
army would o vercome us in a few weeks;
but the Cuban merchants have no suoh
delusion, and they would control the
situation. Hence think that no shot
from big American gun will be neces-
sary."
These sentiments fairly represent those
of the best informed Americans here.
Any moment, however, may chronicle
discoveries at the wreck that would
change this. A member of the court OF
inquiry who oonversed with the corre-
spondent today strongly deprecated any
premature expression or evidence of re-
sentiment on the part of the people of the
United States until it was proven that
the disaster resulted from some other
cause than accident.
