Assistant Secretary Day, Attorney Gem
eral McKenna and General Miles. and it
Is striking fact that with the excep-
ton OF the secretary of the navy and
the attorney general not a member of
the cabinet knew Of the presidents in
tention to take this radical action. 1t is
not denied. however, that some such
move has been long in contemplation,
as Is evidenced in the following state
ment Of Assistant Secretary Day made
yesterday afternoon:
Means Anything Other Than Hostility.
The sending OF the Maine to Havana
means simply the resumption of friend
ly naval relations with Spain. 1t is GUS
tomary for naval vessels of friendly ma
tons to pass in ard out of the harbors
OF other countries with which they are
at peace. and British and German war
ships have recently visited Havana.
This Is no new move. The president has
intended to do 1t for some time. but
heretofore something has happened to
postpone IL. The orders to the Maine
mean nothing more than / have said.
and there Is nothing alarming or I'M
friendly in them. The Spanish minister
here is fully Informed of what is going
on, and so far as know has not made
the slightest objection to it." Further.
Assistant Secretary Day said that COZ.
sui General Lee had not sent for a war.
ship.
The German Ships Referred To.
This statement shows that the move
could not have been taken II there were
serious apprehension Of its results in Fa-
vana. The German ships to which AS
sistant Secretary Day referred in his
statement are the Charlotte and the
Geyer. both training ships and not of
Formidable tpye. though one sufficed to
settle the recent Haytien difficulty.
Their touching at Havana Is not sig
nificant, as their cruise was arranged
in all details last September. and the
same ships are due at Charleston, S. c..
early in February next.
They're Better Posted Than Day,
Senior Quesada. secretary Of the Gu
ban tunta. and Senior Albertini, Of the
Cuban staff in Washington. were about
the Capitol during the day comforting
with members concerning the Cuban
status. Quesada said: THE sending of
the Maine TO Cuba, whatever be the
official version, is. in our opinion. proof
that things are in such condition in the
few Spanish strongholds that anarchy
rcigns and that American citizens and
property, unable to find protection at
the hands of the impotent Spanish gov
eminent, have now the protection of
their own vessels. II il a declaration
TO the world that the United States are
not afraid of the Spanish rabble which
seems tn control the Spanish officials"
Senior Albertini says the sending Of the
Maine will Justify itself by future
events. From his acquaintance with
Spanish methods he says there Is great
or reason for apprehension than has yet
been shown. and he declares that as
soon as Spain finds that Cuba Is lost
a carnival Of slaughter will be in
augurated with the guns Of Mora castle
and the Cabanas trained on the city Of
Havana.
