WILL SECURE TWO SHIPS.
England Said to Sympathize With America
 Against Spain.
lRy Associated Pressl

Washington, March 11.-After the cabi- net meeting today one of the members said:
 ''It is now altogether probable we will secure two vessels under construction for the Brazilian government. It is not pos sible at this time to say just how many ships in all the government will be able to secure. It has options on a. number that have been offered, but nothing is likely to be definitely accomplished in the way of acquiring them until an examina- ton is made into their condition, for which purpose naval officer has been dispatch ed abroad.
 ''We do not want lot of vessels that other nations contracted to be built and now find are not up to expectations. Tie fact is notorious that there are not a great many really good vessels to be had, but I should not be surprised if we are able to get half dozen formidable ones at least. The $50,00O,OOO appropriation for war preparations will be expended in this country except such as may be used in the purchase or snlps and in the acquisi- ton of munitions of war that are not ob- tained here
 "Yes, think the sympathy of the Brit ish government in this controversy is with the United States At any rate, she does not side with Spain. I do not mean by this statement to have you infer that the English will be open advocates of our cause and extend us substantial help, but will give us their moral support"

PERAL TELLS HOW
 IT HAPPENED Believes the Explosion Destroy ing Maine Was internal NO FISH CAME TO THE TOP External Explosion Would Have Blown Waler Into the Air and Left Great Hole in the

NO FISH CAME TO THE TOP

Havana, March 1.-The gentlemen who arrived here the Anita, Senators Gal finger, Thurston and Money, and Repre- sentatives William Alden Smith and Cum mings, accompanied by their wives, were presented at the palace this morning by Consul General Lee and were cordially received by Capt.-Gen. Blanco.
 Today Capt. Peral, president of the Span ish naval court of inquiry into the cause of the Maine disaster, granted an interview to the correspondent of the Associated Press, whom he authorized to say it was the first and only interview he had ever given any newspaper on the subject of the inquiry He said:
 ''We cannot believe there was an external explosion of a torpedo for the following reasons: A torpedo, following the line of least resistence. must have blown a great hole in the mud at the bottom of the har- bor No such hole was found.
 Thrown Water Into Air
 "A torpedo must have thrown large mass of water into the air If exploded at a depth of only twenty-five feet or at least have produced wave reaching the other ships and the shore of the harbor. We have examined every one on shipboard or can be found who remarked amy upheaval of the water or a big wave.
 "A torpedo explosion always kills fish in the vicinity. No fish were killed by the Maine disaster, as fishermen who have known the harbor for many years testify. "a produce the effects noted in the wreck, a torpedo would have to be of enormous size, fully 150 or 200 kilogrammes.
 q am therefore of the opinion that the explosion occurred within the ship. I xnow and respect Captain Sigsbee, and I believe the American regulations affecting naval conduct, which I have read and found admirable, are carefully observed But some things which cannot be foreseen are bound to happen in any navy"

NEITHER COUNTRY
 WANTS A C0NNFI C0NFIhIGGT IGT I Is Senor Bernabe's Expression
 on War Question. PRAISES CUBAN AUTONOMY And Says Spain Has Granted IL on the Broadest and Most Liberal Lines
 First Business in Connection
 With New Treaty.

Washington, March 11.-Senor Luiz Polo Bernabe, the new Spanish minister, was seen today by an Associated Press re- porter, and for the first time since his arrival consented to speak concerning Span ish affairs, observing such reticence on cer- tan phases as diplomatic propriety re- quired.
 Since the minister's arrival he has re- ceived cablegram from Captain General Blanco stating that the Cuban cabinet had designated Senors Sevalfos of New York and Barila, secretary of the Havana chamber of commerce to act with Senor Anguilo in negotiating a commercial treaty between the United States and Cuba The minister referred incidentally to this fact, as he regarded 1t as necessary to the com plete autonomy which Spain had granted to Cuba
 Although Senor Polo will be the pleni- potentiary in arranging Cuban treaty. the Cuban delegates above named by the Cu- ban cabinet will have entire control of the terms of such treaty.
 Cuban Autonomy
 Speaking of the present policy of Spain in giving autonomy to Cuba, the minister
 
 omy on the broadest and most liberal lines It is designed to give to the Cuban people the complete direction of their internal af- fairs, thus gratifying the honorable am- bition of the Cubans, while at the same time maintaining the historic allegiance of Cuba as a colony of Spain."
 The minister was asked if he viewed the present status of affairs pretending war. After a moments hesitation he an- swered gravely:
 "I am sure that the United States does not want, just as am sure that the Span- ish government does not want war and will do everything honorable in it's power . to avert such a calamity"
 Senor Polos first official business, after his credentials are presented to the presi- dent will be in connection with the new commercial treaty between the United States, Spain and Cuba. He comes fully instructed on this ss3ject and before leav- ing Madrid he talked over the several plans with United States Minister Woodford It is not yet determined whether there shall be two treaties with Spain and Cuba sep arately, or one with Spain which shall n- clude Cuba. Until the minister meets our reciprocity commissioner, MT. Kassan, he does not care to discuss the scheme which is under consideration"
