General Ice recommended the send
ing OF the Iowa TO Havana to brlng
back the court OF inquiry. Il will be
remembered that a rumor was printed
that the administration had decided TO
send the Iowa TO Havana 10 impress
the spanlards with the power OF our
navy. This was at General Lees sug-
gestlon. lie told the government that
the spanlnrds could not be made TO be-
lIeye that we had formidable navy
unless they had an ocular demonstra-
tlon OF the fact. The Spanlards, he re-
ported, believed the Maine was the
finest ship In the American navy and
that her destruction made II impossible
for the United states to think about
fighting Spain. TO correct this impress
sion General Lee suggested that the
Iowa should go 10 Havana harbor. take
the court OF inquiry on board. ana
speed out again, an operation which
would give the spaniarda some mater
lal for sober reflection. When tho fact
OF this recommendation came 10 the
knowledge OF q very high naval officer,
who Is familiar with every word OF
evidence brought out by the court Of
inquiry. he made a vigorous protest
and objected most strenuously TO the
governments taking any risks In send
ing the finest battleshlp Of the navy
into Havana harbor. lie gave reasons
for making this protest, and pointed
out the dangers that might be Incurred
The details would not be proper. II
Is only necessary to add that the ar
buments advanced by this distinguish.
ed naval officer we're so urgent that
the Iowa was not sent to Havana.
