FLYING SQUADRON'S ORDERS.
Divers Cleaning the Bottom Of the
Battleship Massachusetts.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA, March 81
Special.-commodore Schley, commander
of the flying squadron, received orders
from the Navy Department this alter
noon 10 have his feet ready 10 sail al
moments notice. Since receiving the
order a heavy pressure OF steam has been
kept up on the cruiser Brooklyn and the
bautleship Massachusetts,. which are an
chored ia the harbor here, and they are
ready 20 weigh anchor at any time
The order was communicated 10 the
commander OF the Columbia, which Is
lying at Old Point Comfort.
From a reliable source 1 learned THIS
afternoon that the battleship Massachu-
sets Is incapable OF making her maxi
mum speed OF l7.5 knots an hour. Her
bottom Is covered with sea growth. a
diver who was sent down 10 make an
fSwigation said the ship should 90 10

covered. but owing TO the strained rela-
tions between the United States and Spain
this cannot be done.
This heavy growth Is supposed TO have
amassed while the ship was al Dry Tor

North Atlantic Squadron. Tonight a
number Of divers went down TO scrape the
bottom Of the vessel. and the work Will
be continued till the ship Is made sea-
worthy.

Mckinley Explains the Situation Salts
factoriIy and Postponement Secured

WASHINGTON. March 3l.-The COM
mittee Of Republicans appointed at last
rights conference 10 caN on the Presi-
dent, reached the White House shortly
before 3 o'clock and soon were closeted
with Mr.. Mckinley. The conference
broke up at ten minutes 10 4 o'clock.
The committee reported to the confer
ence of Republicans at a meeting held af-
ter the adjournment. They Mated that
the President made a frank declaration
as to what was taking place between the
two governments and concluded with
these words:
Il pray God that we may be able to
keep peace"
The impression left with the delegation.
howver was that he did not expect a
peaceful adjustment. In strictest conf
dence Mr.. Mckinley outlined the course
OF communications between Washington
and Madrid.
He stated that all now depended on
dispatches to be communicated and re-
celved probably within forty-eight hours.
The response Of Spain to a message cabled
II by this government was expected hour
ly and surely would be received within
twenty-four hours. After It arrived IT
would be necessary for this country 10
send another Cabinet note as a reply 10
Madrid, This might be accomplished In
less than forty-eight hours He therefore
intimated that 1t would be gratifying II
Congress deferred action until next week.
Mr.. Hopkins. of Illinois. who made the
report for the committee said he felt II
would be hest to abide by the President S
wishes. Others who spoke at the meet
ing including Mr.. Lorrimer and Mr.. JOY
advised postponement. The President
they stated, suggested that what was
related 10 them regarding the diplomaIS
negotiations should not be repeated until
those negotiations were closed; that II
these secret and significant messages were
revealed at this time and should become
public property and he cabled back 10
Madrid the publicity might hurt the
cause and defeat the ends sought.
Mr.. Hicks, Of Pennsylvania, thought
that in view OF the Dupuy de LONE letter
no further parley should be allowed and
that Premier Sagasta was acting In .ac.
cord with the policy that that letter had
revealed. Others followed in the sam
line. but II was finally concluded to de-
Ger action until after the adjournment OF
he House Monday.

ed orders TO overhaul their marine engi-

stantly in case of emergency. Torpedo
boats not engaged in patroling tonight
made another attack on the battleships,

the greatest secrecy. The establishment

WASHINGTON, March sf.-The appar-
emily simple request made IN the Senate
to-day by Mr. Frye. (Maine). on behalf
OF the Foreign Relations Committee.
that the resolution calling upon the Pres
ident for the Cuban consular reports, lie
on the table until such time as the CON-
mittee desired 10 call II up. Unexpectedly
precipitated a discussion on the Cuban

intends 10 pursue patriotic and right

among nationS-Spaln."
Upon the conclusion of the Cuban dts
cussion the suEdry civll appropriation bill
was taken up and thirty-flve pages OF II
were disposed Of
The measure was then laid aside and
Mr.. Hawiey (Conn.). OF the Military AT
fairs Committee. presented IN amended
form the joint resolution offered by Mr.
Bacon, (Georgia). concerning the erection
OF temporary fortifications. He said that
the resolution as now amended met al
objections that had been raised against
the original one. 1t Is as follows:
That In time OF emergency. when In
the opinion OF the President the imme-
date erection Of any temporary fort or
fertilization is deemed important and ur
gent, such temporary fort or fortincation
may be constructed upon written con-
sent Of the owner OF the land upon which
such work is TO be placed; and the re
quirements OF section S55 OF the revised
statutes shall not be applicable in sucf
