WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. a.--The
Evening Star has received the follow.
Ing cablegram from Mr.. Charles NJ. Pep
per. Its staft correspondent in Cuba:
AT this writing divers are developing
important results. From examination
OF the interior wreckage they have se-
cured evidence which seems conclusive
that the explosion came from UNDER
meath the ship. q. a
Some OF the smaller magazines may
have been exploded. The main ten-inch
magazine did not explode. The condi-
tlon OF the Interior Of The ship shows
further probability OF the wreck having
been due to outside force.
The. further the investigation pro-
crosses the more untenable becomes the
theory which the Spanish government
adduced to show accidental cause It Is
evident the Spanish case will be based
on the claim that fire preceded the
explosion. ~ t;iEq
Captain Sampson and his colleague
OF the naval board may have outside
evidence offered regarding O. torpedo
float producing the explosion.
Said one OF the divers who had been
engaged In the work OF getting bodies
out from under the hatch: God may be
merc!ful to men who blew those poor
fellows to eternity, the United States
should not: This was before Secretary
Longs order prohibiting officers from
talking. This diver evidently thought
the explosion was not an accident. He
had an experts capacity and opportunity
for Judging. s];'., Il
The Havana public Is not permitted to

tails are permitted 10 be known OF what
happens In Washington. Congress Is
watched with excessive anxiety by pail
ace officials. but the popuiace knows
nothing OF what is liable 10 happen.

can peuple and exul.aton over the

Cuban politics, but recent developments

FEELING IN SPAIN.

new Spanish l1inl.tcr TO this conutry-
a Briiieose Press Opini,n.
MADRID, Feb. 24.-The United States
minister. General Stewart L. Woodford.
gave a banquet to-day In honor OF the
new Spanish minister at Washington.
Senior Polo y Bernabe. The guests In
included the Austrian, Russian, French.
German. Italian. Turkish, Dutch and
British ministers and the Duke of We
ragua- the lineal descendant of Colum-
bus. who was the guest Of the United
States at the time OF the Chicago fair,
the premier. Senior Sagasta, two mem-
bers OF the cabinet md the stan OF tho
United States legation.
Much political Importance was at
tached here to the incident, and the BAN
Quet. coupled with the peaceful utter
Ing to a semI-oGlclal report, have been
.'optimistically utilized by the minister
ial press"
The Imparcial to-day takes the Span
ish government to task for its apathy
"cohtrastcd with the patriotic feeling
of,the country, and warns the nation
against the hypocritlcal Yankee policy
which really aims at the independence
OF Cuba" it5 =
Continuing tho impartial says: Pres
ident Mckinley may make and reIter-
ate protcstations OF friendship and pa
tience, but his notions contradict his
words. While The President OF the
United States, is ca jollng us with words,
he sharpens his dagger to stab us be-
hind. While talking concord he utilizcs
his Sundays In unusual war prepnra-
tions at the docks and cancels the fur
loughs OF the marines. Canswe trust
those who are preventing the paclflca-
tion OF Cuba and fomentlng rebellion
and filibusterlng expeditions, sending
warshlps under the pretext OF friend
ship and preaching peace? We must
prepare for war. There Is no time 10
acquire new rwnrshlps. but We should fit
out Immediately what we have, sending
the Pelayo. Colon, Carlos V, and Maria
Teresa 10 follow the Almlrantc, Oqucn-
do and Vizcaya to Cuban waters, and
the rest OF tho fleet TO guard the pc
nlnsula. Other policy thnn prepared
ness is only to play. the American game,
which i5 to exhaust our resources and
gain tho Independence Of Cuba without
rlsking anything. How long does the
government mean 10 favor the Amerl-
can plans? How long will the agoniz-
Ing nation tolerate tho apathy OF the
