BOUTELLE IN NO
 HURRY TO ACT Chairman of the House Naval Committee Pro-
 crastinating. Has Not Submitted the Depart ment's Request for More
 Men. Sub-COn1 nlittee Had Already Aoreed
Sub-Conn naittee Had Already Aqreed Upon an Increase in the
 Enlistment.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Chairman Boutelie of the House Committee on Naval Affairs has not yet submitted to his committee the letter he received last Friday from Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the Navy Department. then acting Secretary of the Navy. ask Ing TOT the passage of a special act au- thorizing the enlistment of 15OO addi- tlonal men and boys in the navy. This additional force was asked for in ad- vance of the passage of the regular ap- propriation bill in order it is under stood, that the vessels which are being put into commission might be properly manned.
 The subcommittee on naval affairs In charge of the regular appropriation bill had already agreed on an increased enlistment of 125O, bringing the total Of enlisted men up to 13,0O0 The sen- t1ment of the House committee is ex- tremely liberal, and MT. Foss of Illi- nols, member of the committee said to-day that if the Navy Department asked for special bill and the aues- ton was officially submitted to the com mlttee, he had no doubt 1t would re- ceive the indorsement of the commit tee. The subcommittee has shown a liberal spirit in it's recommendations for increases thus far.
 Action on the question of ships and drydocks will be largely influenced by the outcome of the investigation into the Maine disaster It has already been practically decided that the price which the Secretary of the Navy shall be au- ivn tr, fx,r- ships now approaching completion shall be $4O0 ton, but no formal vote has yet been taken on this proposition by the subcommittee. The work of the subcommittee, as far as it has gone is now being reviewed and ratified by the full committee. Thus far the sub- committees action has not been re- Yersed. The full committee has rati- fled the action of the subcommittee in recommending an increase of $100, GOO for ordnance and ordnance stores. bringing the total appropriation for this item up tc $500, ,000, besides the appro- priation of $25, 900 for converting 6-inch guns into rapidfire guns, s45,0 900 for cappfng armor- piercing shells and $50,- 900 for the manufacture of cartridge making machinery-the latter appro- An appropriation of s275, 1000 to in- crease the speed of the Chicago and to replace her old guns with rapid-fire batteries Is also recommended, and an appropriation of $250,000 for reserve torpedoes and appliances.
 The increase in the number of enlist ed men recommended by the sub-com- mittee has not yet been considered by the full committee. A significant in- crease voted by the full committee re- lated to the appropriation for the naval militia. Heretofore s50,00O has been carried by the appropriation bill for the naval militia A delegation repre- senting the militia was here recently, and asked for slight additional appro- priation, and the committee voted an increase of $10,000, making a total of S6O 000

S0BRAL SAILS ON LA
 BRETAGNE FOR SPAIN.
The Talkative Naval Attache Given
 a Parting Ovation by His Countrvmen

v
 NEW YORK. March 2-Lieutenant Commander Sobral. formerly naval at- tache of the Spanish Legation at Washington, sailed to-day on the steamer La Bretagne for Havre. Many of the Spanish colony in New York were at the pier to bid him farewell. Tn anticipation of Lieutenant Commander SobraPs departure the Junta Potriotica Espanola sent a cablegram to the Min ister of the Navy at Madrid as follows:
 .The Junta Patriotica Espanola of the United States regrets the departure of Lieutenant Commander Sobral His patriotic and valuable services are highly appreciated by the Spanish col ony."
 To-day a member of the Spanish col ony handed to Lieutenant Commander Sobral the reply of the Minister of the Navy It read as follows:
 T have to thank you for your tele- gram regarding Lieutenant Command CT Sobral, whose return to Spain has been ordered that he may render her service
 Just before going aboard La Bre- tagne, Lieutenant-C Commander Sobral said to a representative of the Asso- ciated Press that he had been misun- derstood.
 1T have no remorse," he said. My conscience is clear; sail contented."

ADMINISTRATION POLICY PUZZLES

ing. The statement is made by some of the Republican members of the House that they have reason to be- lieve an effort will be made to get rid of the appropriation bills and ad- iourn Congress before anything IS done by the President with respect to the Maine disaster, if not before lne report of the board is made pub lie, and to prevent any sort of action with relation to Cuba being taken before adjournment. The men who make this assertion take it so seri- ously that they have set movement on foot to resist adjournment at any time before the Cuban question has been disposed of. They have been conferring among themselves and with some of the Democrats to-day. The authority for this is a Repub- lican member of standing in the House from the middle West.
 I.The trouble" said this member, "arises out of a firm belief in the minds of several members that there is a plan to adjourn Congress with out taking any action on Cuba or before the Board of Inquiry reports. Whatever may be the Presidents views of the public sentiment in this country on the Cuban question, we know through private letters and other trustworthy sources that the people expect some action. If 1t Is not taken there will not be twenty Republican members elected to the next Horse. Just let resolution be reported to adjourn this Congress without action on Cuba and you will see the liveliest row ever witnessed in the House. The President and Speaker Reed will learn that the op- position will not come from hot heads, but from some of the most conservative men on the Republican side. The Democrats are already pledged to stand by us. The canvass is being made, and in few hours we will have the pledges from the Republican members who can be ab- solutely relied upon. Already there is every indication of enough votes to carry out our plan"
 The Representative who submit ted to the above interview drew from his pocket letter from the Governor of his State expressing the popular feeling on the subject, and saying he had pledges from sources which would enable him to guarantee that he could place 100000 men in the field at once, were it shown they were needed.

Eulate, knowing Siesbee was without a uniform, did not don the usual gold lace. He visited Sigsbse in ordinary uniform. and expressed the sympathy of the Spanish navy for Captain Sigsbee. Later Sigsbee, accompanied by Ensign Bookwalter, visi ed Eulate aboard the ViZcaya. He was not aboar d and the visitors left their cards and departed.
 Captain Sigsbee was much dis appointed at the result of the work of the divers to-day. He had hoped to reach the bodies in the marines compartments. Being unsuccessful in this he now fears few more bodies will be fouud. Some were undoubtedly blown to pieces and can never be recov- cred; others may have f1oated out wit h the tide. If there is not mOre success in the effort to reach the bodies soon the search will be abandoned.
 Captain Sigsbee is getting very, anxious to get away from Havana, but will not ask for recall until he can be of no further service here. He will remain for some time yet, anyway.
 Vidal Ducassi, the so-called brigadier.general of the division of insurgents in the Pinar del Rio, was killed in skirmish. A big explosion of dynamite s>said 1 to have occurred at Taco Taco, in the same province, destroying the store of Mayia Rodr gueZ, cOni- manding the insurgents of the three western provinces.
 Senator Proctor, while going to Mantanzas to-day, saw some burning cane and a slight skir1 mish, the Spaniards dispersing thsA rebels. The wires were cut and the train slowed down for some time, SO Proctor got some idea of the Spanish method of operation and little excitement thrown in. He is not talking.

CHILE WILL SELL NO
 WARSHIPS TO SPAIN.
Has No Intention of Parting With Any of the Vessels of
 Her Navy
Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bonnet

Copyrighted, 1S9S, by James Gordon Bennett
 VALPARAISO, March 2.-The report that Spain is negotiating to buy from Chile three warships in course of con- struction in England Is characterized as absurd by Government officials here They laugh at the story and declare that the Chilean Government has never received even the most remote hint from Spain as to the purchase of war ships. It is further stated that Chile has no intention of parting with any vessel of her navy, and that even if she were disposed to sell warships she would not sell to the United States or Spain, knowing the status of the present relations between these two countries.
 Chile has only two ships in Europe the armored cruiser O'Higgins, which is nearly finished and is expected here in April. and the schoolship General Baguedona, which will be finished about the end of the year. The Chilean transport Augamos left for England several days ago with officers and crew for the O'Higgins.

WILL CARRY SUPPLIES
 TO REC0NCENTRADOS

WASHINGTON, March 2-The de- cision of the Navy Department to send two ships to Cuba with supplies for the suffering reconcentrados caused some commotion in official circles to- day, until the real purport of the visit of the ships came out. The cruiser Montgomery and the gunboat Nashville were selected for the purpose and or ders were sent to Admiral Sicard to put them into shape for the required service.
 It is explained at the Navy Depart ment that this action was taken at the instance of the Cuban Relief Associa- tion, organized through the efforts of the State Department for the relief of the -combatants in Cuba. It was represented to the department that distress prevails among the people in the vicinity of Sagua la Grande and MatanZaS, on the northern coast of the island, and that considerable difficulty is experienced in sending supplies there because of the infrequent visits of the merchant ships. On this account and because of the immediate demand for supplies at the points indicated the of fieers of the association requested the Secretary of the Navy to authorize the use of one or more warships at Key
 
 supplies contributed by the charitable people of the United States in response to the appeals of President Mckinley and Secretary Sherman.
 Secretary Long conferred with the President on the subject, and it was l decided to comply with the request The Montgomery and the Nashville were selected as the most suitable for the service, and the necessary orders were dispatched to Admiral Sicard The Montgomery will go to Matanzas and the Nashville to Sagua la Grande, with the understanding that they will re- main in those ports only long enough to deliver the supplies to the agents of the association for distribution where they will do the most good Although the mission assigned to the warships will take both within short distance of Havana, estimated from two to four hours, it Is stated that neither ves- l sel will visit the Cuban capital.

NO EUROPEAN POWER
 WILL HELP SPAIN.

NEW YORK, March 2.-According to a cable dispatch from London, all the European powers were notified some weeks ago that unless Spain restored peace in Cuba by March 1 the United States would intervene. The dispatch says that no European power gave any sign of willingness to protest in behalf of Spain, though the Spanish Govern ment at first hoped to secure at least the friendly offices of Austria or France to induce the United States to refrain from intervention. Great Brit aims attitude has been particularly dis appointing to Spain because, while not indorsing the American policy in any way, it has been clearly indicated that England would refuse in any manner to hamper President Mckinley in en- forcing his peace policy in Cuba.

OFFICERS DETACHED FOR
 IMMEDIATE SEA DUTY.

NEW YORK. March 2.-Orders were received at the Naval Academy at Annapolis by telegraph from the Navy Department detaching number of of ficers now stationed there for immedi- ate duty on board ships of the North Atlantic squadron. The orders caused some consternation among residents of the institution. About thirty officers, whose time of shore duty expires by June, expect to receive similar orders daily. Among the officers detached is Lieutenant David Daniels. head of one of the departments of the academy.

 aSter at Havana.

"No sane American could believe that the Spanish Government had any hand in exploding the Maine, and vindictive damages could only be demanded on the ground that Spain was guilty of connivance, or that the Havana author ities were negligent beyond the border line of criminality. Neither of these hypotheses does it seem possible to sustain. While. therefore, it Is quite unlikely that war will arise through the Maine disaster, the situation is still far from reassuring, in the face of Americas projected proposal to pur- chase Cuba

he remarked that Secretary Long had probably been misquoted by some American correspondent who had deceived the Havana papers. He believes Secretary Long observes the same silence enjoined upon the officers of the navy.
