PATIENCE ENJoINED.
Cush Davis Alludes to Maine In
Detroit Speech.

Detroit. Mich, Feb. Ex-senator
Cushman K. Davis of Minnesota, chair
man of the senate committee on foreign
affairs, spoke here tonight, at the an
nual banquet of the Michigan club,
which was attended by nearly 500 Re
publican leaders. The galleries of the
big auditorium were crowded with spec
tators. 1t was expected that Senator
Davis, who responded TO the toast, Our
Foreign Relations" would refer to the
Cuban situation, and his speech was
awaited with unusual interest There
was no reference to Cuba, however, I'M
til the closing of his address, when he
said:
7 am commissioned to bring you no
word from the government, but l see
our president weighing these questions
of the hour. a large portion of our peo-
pie wish to drive him forward and into
war Let rs take the advice of CAP
tain Sigsbee. and suspend judgment on
the Maine disaster. If then our dark
forebodings are justified by the investi-
cation, be assured President Mckinley
and the United States government will
not be found wanting in any act which
that dreadful circumstance shall rem
der necessary.
Does anybody suppose that McKin-
ley, the ex-soldier, that our John Sher-
man, your own General AlgeI, John d.
Long and the United States senate
lightly feel or stintingly put aside these
questions. It is easy for one not hav-
ing these responsibilities TO urge doing
something right away, but impose these
responsibilities upon those who thus
complain. and they would approve the
course Of the, president of the U2ited
States"

Is in direct accord with the plan out
lined in December last by Captain
Chester OF the Cincinnati, in command
of the squadron. and approved by the
department This plan was about as
follows:
After the smaller vessels were locked
at Buenos Ayres he would assemble
the squadron and proceed up the coast
of South America for squadron drill,
visiting all the ports where American
interests exist Upon the return of
the squadron from the north he would
make a long visit. 70 Rio de Janeiro

Madrid, Feb. ga gloomy tone per-
vades political circles on the reports of
a split in the Cuban ministry The au-
Economists, Senior Giberga and Senior
AmbIard are, it is believed, secretly
treating with the separists in the direc-
ton of independence for Cuba Senior
Gown, the Cuban secretary of the in
terror, is accused of treason by the I'm
parcial, which publishes fac smile of
a letter from Senior Gown to friend,
in which the former says:
How could you think that Sagasta,
a man inferior to Canovas, and liberal
only in name, has inspired my atti-
tude and not my ideas and sentiments
as a Cuban? Mckinley as well as Cuba,
will determine whether l am a Span
lard. Long live our country and lib
erty,"
WEAK MINISTRY
The Impartial adds that it predicted
a weak ministry in Cuba, and warned
Senior Moret. the Spanish colonial min
lister, of what was likely to be the out
come of his autonomy scheme.
FL Pals says: Spain should treat
with the rebels direct rather than TO
tolerate the traitor, Gown.
Ell Correa Espana asks: How will
Senior Moret, the patron of Gown and
Senior Sagasta, the patron of both Mo-
ret and Gown, stand now that Gown
is a traitor to his country? Whoever
supports a traitor is likewise a traitor.
The official press. on the other hand,
counsels prudence and confidence in the
patriotism of the Cubans.

GRAVE SITUATION.
Americans Informally Advised to
Leave Havana at Once.

New York, Feb. ga dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
The situation in Havana is more
grave than it was a week ago. ALI
though the officers of the naval board
of inquiry preserve an impenetrable re-
serve, it is learned that some of the best
naval experts now believe that the eX-
plosion was the result of treachery.
They do not believe that Spanish Off
Gals were part of the conspiracy. From
evidence now in their possession they
believe the Spanish government, Cen
eral Blanco and all his military subor-
dinates, were guiltless alike of knowl-
edge or of participation in the crime.
It is believed to have been set off by a
fanatic.
Consul General Lee has informally
advised Americans not, necessarily de-
tanned here to leave for home at once.
Many Vi the families will sail by the
Olivette tomorrow.
This is an indication that those on the
ground realize the possibility of trouble
arising suddenly and their inability to
protect women and children if any out
break occurs.

AUTONOMY A FAILURE.

Mr.. Koop also devoted considerable
space, at Senator Morgan's suggestion.
to the scheme of autonomy under the
Liberal ministry, and pronounced it a
failure from one end of the island to
another He said that business was at
a standstill throughout the country;
that few crops were growing, and that
desolation and ruin stared the traveller
IN the face wherever he went. AS
consequence, property was much depre-
ciated in value and the people We're
greatly discouraged. He said that the
general estimate was that the war had
already resulted in the loss of 900. 600
lives, and Mr.. Koop himself did not
consider these figures exaggerated.
There was some comment upon the
document by Senators Morgan, Gal
linger and Mason, but no official action
was taken. Senator Mason said that
the statement was no more than he
had expected TO hear, and Senator Gal
linger declared that the picture drawn
was deplorable one. He said that
two years ago he had advised that the
United States should intervene to put
a stop to the war, and that every de-
velopment since had confirmed the wis
dom of the suggestion then made

tically completed, and they are ready to
