Herald, who had direct charge of the

the Eldridge street station later and told
the officer in charge that he would
bury the dead. The loss on the building
by fire is estimated at $7000 and the
contents are damaged to the extent of
$4,000 more. The loss Is covered by IN
surance.
John N. Wyburn, the superintendent
Of the Bowery Mission, under whose d.
rection the lodging house was conduct

COURT OF INQUIRY.
Date of Departure From Havana Not Yet
Decided.

Havana, March 13.-The court Of in
quiry did good deal of work today,
examining Ensign Powellson and the
divers of the wrecking company who
have been investigating the wreck.
It is said that these divers have been
released from further work of this kind
and instructed to pursue their labors I'M
der the wrecking contract
The court will have the services Of
naval divers, as heretofore and, if nee
essary, can call again upon the civilian
divers. 1t is thought that the court
will close it's labors here during the
present week, and will probably re-
examine some of the survivors of the
/ Maine at Key West. This rumor, how
ever, is not officially verified, the men,
bers of the court insisting that they can
| fix no date for the conclusion of its ses-
sions or their departure from Havana.
Everything indicates that the distribss-
ton of relief stores sent from the United
States will go forward hereafter more
speedily and effectively, attaining better
results than ever before. While much
good has been done, and no questions
have been raised as to the honesty of
intention, there is, no doubt, room for
improvement.
Matters appear to have reached a
crisis in Matanzas yesterday. where
there was want of proper preparation
on the part of certain relief agents ap-
pointed from Havana. United States
Consul General Lee and Mr.. Klopsch, of
President McKinley's special commits
sion, will not only exercise a close su-
pervision, but will insist that the work
Of today shall not be put off until to-
morrow. Every one is gratif1ed to learn
that famous Catholic priest, who will
not allow his name to be published, will
give all the aid in his power to Consul
General Lee and Mr.. Klopsch, not only
in Havana, where the suffering is much
alleviated, but outside where relief is
most urgently needed.
The need of relief supplies is prac-
tically undiminshed, and there Is no
fear that the contributions already here
or to come will be improperly used.
The Anita, with the congressional
party, left today for Sagua la Grande.
No work was done at the custom house
today, but it will be resumed early in
the morning No delay is anticipated in

ALLIANCE NOT LIKELY.
An Interview With United States Ambas-
sador White.

I sador White.
London, March 1S.-The Sunday spec
ial publishes from its Berlin cores
pondent an interview with United States
Ambassador White on the attitude of
the United States toward Spain and the
Cuban situation. Ambassador White, ac-
cording to this dispatch, declared the
statement that the United States had en-
tered into an alliance with England and
Japan absolutely without foundation.
The United States, Mr. White is reported
to have said, will never bind herself by
such an alliance. President McRinley's
administration cannot act against the
tradition which forbids all such compli-
cations in Americas International rela-
tions. Least of all will 1t do for the sake
of Americas interests in the far east
1.-THE fear of war with Spain must not
be taken too seriously. The $50, 900, 900
credit is NO proof that the United States
intends going to war, since the govern
ment had long demanded such a credit
for the purpose Of harbor defence. This,
however, had been postponed owing to
the niggardly policy congress had hith-
erto pursued"
Characterizing as quite untrue "the
statement that the United States had
placed large orders with Herr Krupp,'
Mr. White is reported as adding Amer
lea possesses ammunition of all kinds
and war material in the government
factories sufficient for every emergency.
Lieut.. Allen, the United States mill
tary attache at Berlin, is reported as
confirming Ambassador Whites views
Of the situation on the strength Of pri-
vate advices that have reached the
American embassy alleging that the In
vestigations of the American court of in

DEATH CLAIMED BOTH.
Mr.. and Mrs. MarceIIus EIdredgs Of Ports
mouth Die in Boston.

Boston, March 1S.-Marcellus Ell
dredge, a former mayor of Portsmouth,
N. H., died at Hotel Touraine, last eve
ming. Six hours later his wife, who has
been suffering from an incurable dis
ease for the past four months, also
passed away. Mr.. Eldredge's death was
probably due to anxiety over his Wife's
condition, while, on the other hand her
death was undoubtedly hastened by
grief. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Eldredge
were born in Chatham, Mass, but for
many years they resided in Portsmouth,
where Mr.. Eldredge was engaged in
business. He was elected state senator
from the Portsmouth district in 1875
and II, and mayor in 1S86-'S7. A few
years ago he presented to the city a
public library, and also a plot of land
for a soldiers monument.
