AT THE DEPARTMENT

Representative Boutelle, chairman of the
house committee on naval affairs. con-
ferred with Secretary Long again today.
Mr.. Boutelle said that his visit was con-
fined wholly to the question of relief for
the sufferers of the Maine. The bill which
he has prepared will carry about $167 900, If
passed in its present form. 1t has been
suggested however, that a general law
was passed In 1895, under which relief may
be given for the actual loss suffered by
those in the naval service in case of disas-
ter. How far this general law will affect
the special relief extended to the Maine
sufferers cannot be determined. but in any
event it will cover only the actual loss of
clothing, ETC., while the relief measure is
designed to give bulk allowance equiv
alent to twelve months pay. Mr.. Boutelle
stated that his call had nothing to do with
the question of new ships and naval equip
ment to be provided by the naval appro-
priation bill In course of preparation under
his Craftsmanship. Referring to the rumors
Of treachery in connection with the Maine
disaster. he said:
II feel that any man who, by spoken or
written utterance, adds a spark to in
flame public sentiment at this juncture is
as guilty as the man who would touch a
match to the powder magazine of a ves-
sci. This is a time for the calmest judg-
ment, instead of unguarded talk, wholly
which would cost the lives of hundreds and
thousands of our people,
This was diplomatic day at the state de-
partment, and 1t brought the usual number
of callers upon the secretary of state and
Assistant Secretary Day. The Portuguese
minister came early, and was followed by
Mr.. Du Bose, the Spanish charge affaires
His stay was not long, and it is believed
that the purpose of his visit, aside from
such matters of routine business as usually
bring the diplomats to the state depart
ment on Thursday, was to ascertain If the
officials had any news from the wreck of
the Maine that could properly be COM
municated to him. In this request he was
disappointed. because there have been no
telegraphic advices from Consul General
Lee of recent date, while the naval dis
patches have all been made public from
time to time. The officers of the British
warship Hood today cabled from the island
OF Crete, expressing deep sympathy over
the disaster to the Maine.
Late tonight the navy department re-
ceived two brief kilograms from Captain
Sigsbee at Havana. Que related to some
routine matter of expenditures in connec-
tion with the work of the Maine, and the
other is as follows:
divers report more bodies In the wreck.
Some in hammocks. involved in debris.
Probably not recognizable"
This dispatch indicates that the divers
have finally secured at least partial en-
trance to the quarters in the forward part
of tAe vessel, where the crew were asleep
when the explosion occurred. and under
which were the magazines. The fact that
the divers were unable to extricate the
bodies shows the fearful obstacles against
which they are working and bears out the
belief that the work of submarine investi-
cation will necessarily proceed slowly.

Chairman Boutelle had conference with
President Mckinley at which he went over
with him the proposed legislation and later
submitted the measure at an informal
meeting OF some of the committee. 1t will
be referred back to the committee, imme-
diately acted on there and it's passage by
congress expedited.
The bill provides for the payment OF
twelve months sea pay to the widow
child or children or If there be none such
to the parents or parent, or II neither OF
these. to the brothers and sisters of each
of those killed In the Maine. In addition
the legal heirs of each of the victims shall
receive any arrears of pay due at the time
of death.
1t is provided also that any allotments
previously made by any Of the deceased ir
favor of any relatives of the degrees men.
toned, shall be continued for three months
the amounts so paid to be deducted in the
twelve months pay otherwise allowed.
Claims for the relief thus provided mus
be filed with the secretary of the navy
within two years from the date of the pas
sage of the bill and 1t is provided further
that such relief shall be accepted in full as
compensation and satisfaction OF any and
all claims on the part of the beneficiaries
on account of loss or death through the de-
struction of the Maine
The bill also appropriates $4,000 for the
removal. so far as practicable, and burial

ther provisions that relatives of any sucl
deceased may require the remains to b,

Immediately discuss the interpretations of
NJ. NJ Hubbard and Gautier relative to the
conviction and sentence of NJ. Zola yester-
day.
M. Viviani declared that the Socialists,
although they might be divided relative to
the Dreyfus case, were in entire accord in
regard to the prerogative of civil over mil
itary power.
M Meline replied Popular, democratic
justice has given verdict after a military
court, and you will accept 1t. Gen Billot
minister for war; gave no order to gen.
erals summoned to testify before the tri-
bunal of the country. One general had
been accused on account of his utterances.
Undoubtedly he spoke a word too much;
but you must remember the frightful
charge thrown in his face"
Continuing, NJ Meline said the charges
made against the army were unjust, and
he asserted that there was not a single
officer who had been guilty of plotting
against the country. even in his dreams
The government" continued the pre-
mier, intends to impose peace upon all,
and will take the measures which the cir
cumstances demand. No one, after yes-
terdays verdict, could raise the discus
sion in good faith, and If the present laws
do not suffice, the government will ask the
chamber for another vote, which will prove
that patriotism is involved and that dis
cussions among us must disappear"
M Goujon moved that NJ. Melines speech
be posted throughout France, and the mo-
ton was adopted.
M Cavalgnac, the former minister. then
reproached the government with not utter
ing the whole truth at the trial and with
insufficiently defending the officers He
also said he wanted powerful army but
one subordinate to civil power.

motions were presented. The premier ac-

NO ORDER ISSUED
Sending a Vessel to Replace the
Maine

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-No order has
been issued as yet for any vessel to go to
Havana and replace the Maine. Secretary
Long said some days ago that a vessel
would be sent to Havana later, and that
either the Nashville or the Montgomery
would be selected. 1t can be stated author
itatively that this is still the situation and
that no conclusion has been reached as tC
when another warship shall replace the
Maine. The Montgomery has been ordered
from Tampa to Key West, but her orders
do not direct her to proceed further.
The cruiser Cincinnati reached Barba-

A CRUISER AFLoAT
The Minneapolis Leaves the League
Island Drydock

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. A.-The United
States cruiser Minneapolis was successful
~ foated out of the dry dock at League
Island navy yard at high tide today. The
fioating of the big cruiser was witnessed by
nearly thousand people.
The Minneapolis has been in dry dock
since last December. partly to avoid the
Ice in the river and also to have necessary
repairs made to her bottom. The school
ship Saratoga will be placed in dry dock
for repairs.
Notwithstanding all reports to the con-
trary there Is no unusual activity at the
yard beyond the extensive improvements
that are being made to the back channel,
which is to be used as fresh water basin for
vessels of the navy.
The receiving ship Richmond is besieged
by applicants for enlistment but very few
are now being taken.
Besides the Minneapolis there are at
League Island the cruiser Columbia, the
monitor Miantonomah and the ram Ka-
tahdin, all out of commission at present.
There are also eight old monitors at the
navy yard. all of them relics of the civil
war, but which could be fitted up quickly
in case they were needed.

A STAGE STRIKE
Stockton Supes Think They Have 4
Grievance

STOCKTON, CAL, Feb. 4-The nucleus
of strike which may reach such propor-
tions as to involve the federated trades all
over the country has been started by the
stage hands of the Yosemite theater here.
Some time ago they joined the National AL
lance of Stage Employees, which has
branches all over the country. They have
strong organization and are allied With
the Federated Trades councils 1t seems
that the union was formed here at the in
stigation of Joseph Hyde. Hyde has been
the stage carpenter of the Yosemite for
some time. Last night he was discharged
and Powell, non-union man, was put in
his place. The scene shutters struck and
refused to work with the non-union man.
1t is possible that sympathetic action will
be taken by the Federated Trades. in
which case the patronage of hundreds Of
members of different trades unions in the
state would be withdrawn from the circuit.
