SAYS MEREU LIED.
Capt Sigsbee's Brother Has His In
dignation Aroused.

Chicago, Aug. pa. P. Sigsbee, of
Chicago, a brother of Captain Sigsbee,
of the wrecked battleship Maine, read
with indignation the interviews with
Captain Mereu, of the Spanish cruiser
CristObal Colon, given out in New York
just before the Spanish commander
sailed for home, and rejecting upon the
actions of the captain and officers OF the
Maine at Havana. Mr.. Sigsbee, who has
been the guest of his brother on the
auxiliary cruiser st. Paul for time
this summer, and who also spent some
time on the Maine last year, said re-
garding the Mereu interview:
ut is unfortunate that Captain Mereu
left the United States so quickly after
making the statements that he did,
otherwise his nose would have been
twisted from his face. Among other
things he said that my brother shed
tears in the cabin Of Captain Eulate
of the Vizcaya when that vessel visited
Havana soon after the blowing up of
the Maine, declaring at the same time
that his career in life was ended. He
also made the statement, which ap-
pears in the interview, that the officers
of the Maine were drinking champagne
on shore while the Spaniards were
rescuing the seamen from the Maine
when Captain Mereu says my
brother had tears IN his eyes, other
than for the loss of his men, he lies.
When he says the officers of the Maine
were ashore drinking champagne on the
night in question he lies again. Nothing
that my brother has said or written
indicated that the Spanish blew up his
vessel In his testimony before the SEN
ate committee he stated only that the
Maine, in his belief, was blown up by
an outside agency If my brother had
tears in his eyes at all it was for the
loss of his brave crew, and I believe
the whole nation wept at the same time.
For Captain Mereu to make such
statements after he had received the
hospitality of the nation and on the
eve of his departure for Spain only
proves the character of the man."

one thing about the situation.
Mckinley has changed his pro-
posed message to congress not
less than three times today and

placed before them a telegram
from Consul General Lee to the
effect that he wanted till Satur-

out of Cuba.
Ihls came 70 the president as
"a great rock in a weary land. "
Congress and the public was
impatient. there was no way to
curb the one or the other. This
telegram from Lee was shown
to the democrats in congress
and they subsided at once.
Everybody believe war is in
evitable. But not a human
here knows any more about the
true situation than a man in
Texas. All that is known is
that everybody is in the air and
that the president will have
peace if he can get it.-W. G..
