 70 OFFICIAL oPIF $ LEANS ONE WAY
Public Men Side With Naval Officers and All Hold That the Maine Was Blown Up by an Outside Ex-
 ploSion.

Washington, March 2.-The procedure in connection with the submission of the report of the Maine court of inquiry by tho president to congress is now clearly out lined and cabinet officer today explained the general line of action at present intend- ed to be pursued upon receipt of the report, which is expected to reach Washington next Thursday.
 A copy of it will be laid before the Spanish government very early, and as soon as can be con- sistently done the report will be sent to congress and be made public at the same time. The re- port to congress will be accom- panied by message from the president, stating that after re- ceiving the report the conclusions were laid before the Spanish gov- ernment and appropriate action from that quarter is asked for. It is stated positively that no part of the report and no intimation of the findings has reached the exec utive authorities in Washington as yet. At the tame time it is a noticeable fact that the current of official opinion is beginning to fol- low that of the unofficial opinion expressed so positively and per. sistently at Havana and Key West, that the cause of the explosion was external to the battleship.
 Officials high in the administration stated today that while they were wholly without exact information as to the findings of the court of inquiry they found themselves sharing in the apparent intangible convic- tion that the cause of the explosion was not accidental
 Two Distinct Explosions
 Opinion expressed by the Maine survivors who reached here last Saturday doubtless has contributed largely to this view in official circles In this connection it Is understood that one of the officers who ara rived on Saturday stated, not as opinion, but as his personal observation on the night of the disaster that there were two distinct explosions. The tendency of this is to support the theory of external cause as this is based on the idea that the first external explosion was followed by a sec ond internal explosion.
 Intense interest in the report was mani- fested today at the white house and at the state, war and navy departments. The president received a number of congress sional leaders among them being Speaker Reed and Chairman Hit. of the house com- -------------------~----~~ ~~-----~--------~~-~~~%>

TO JOIN FLYING SQUADRON.
Officials Think the Vesuvius Would Be Handy
 Graft.

Washington March 2.-Lieutenant Con- mander J. E. Pillsbury, commanding the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, which has just arrived at the Washington navy yard from Florida, was at the navy department today in conference with the officials regarding the future of his unique craft.
 It is considered probable, in view or the speed power of the Vesuvius, that she may be attached to the so-called Flying Squad ron, which, it is alleged is soon to assemble at Hampton Roads According to present plans the squadron to be organized at Hampton Roads will consist of the battle ships Massachusetts and Texas and the cruisers Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Colum- bia. The Vesuvius would be perfectly at home in such company, being faster than either of the battleships, and nearly the equal in speed of the pennant-holders, Min neapolis and Columbia.

ton, already so far advanced completed The reconcentrados are absolutely without hope and if the death lists in any parts of the islands are decreasing 1t is only be- cause the material for starvation to work on is giving out. All that the reconcen- trados can now do, with their homes and implements destroyed by fire, their little farms devastated and growing in weeds, their stock driven off to furnish food for the Spanish soldiers, and themselves ema- ciated and diseased, is to remain in their pens with a look of quiet despair and take the little food that they can get, sent by the charity of the United States.
 Fighting in Suburbs
 It is perfectly true, says the senator, that the insurgents practically have the whole island. All that the Spanish hold is Havana and even while the congressional party was there, there was fighting in the suburbs of that city.
 Senator Thurston was asked what effect intervention would have in increasing the volume of the insurgent movement. He said that it would have some effect in that direction, for then the Cubans generally would rise and declare themselves.
 The members of the party saw all classes of Spaniards in Cuba, and had an oppor- tunity to learn their temper with regard to the Americans there. He said that by the better classes he and his friends were treated with respect, and if any bitterness was entertained 1t was kept concealed. But he had heard that by the rabble of Havana some insulting remarks were made with reference to the ladies of the party.
 He said 1t was the impressions among Americans in Havana that the Maine was blown up by an external explosion, and while he disclaimed having information from any official sources on which to form an opinion, he said that he had doubt that the ship was blown up from without
 Determine on Indemnity
 'If," he was asked, ''the report of the naval board should be that such was the case, but that the agency could not be defi- nitely ascertained, what course would you advise?'
 'I would," he answered, determine what would be proper indemnity and demand it."
 If the report of the naval board of in- quiry should duplicate responsible Spanish officials in the blowing up of the Maine, what course do you think would be proper?"
 q would consider the the blowing up of the ship act of war, and would declare war at once."
 Do you think the administration would consent to submit either the general Cuban dispute or a question of indemnity for the destruction of the Maine to arbitration?"
 "I do not see how 1t could," replied the senator. q do not believe it woud.'

Major Raines Dead

Augusta, Ga, March N.-George w. Raines, major in the United States army and captain on General Scott's staff in the Mexican war, graduate of West Point, and at one time instructor there, died at New burg, N Y. this morning. He resigned from the army in 1856, and when the Confederate powder mills were finished in this city on 1862 he took charge of them. The site of the powder min is now occupied by the Sibley cotton mill but the old powder company remains standing as a monument, and at its base the deceased will probably find his last resting place, it being his often ex- pressed wish.

SAME PlTIfUL STORY.
Manager of American Relief Work Tells of
 Cuban Suffering.

New York, March N.-Dr. Louis Klopsch now in Cuba, in charge of the American relief work cables from Havana under date of March 21 to the Christian Herald:
 ''The situation is simply this: Two hun dred and fifty thousand reconcentrados .n over 400 accessible towns are helplessly destitute. Unless we can get regularly, without a break, 300 tons of corn meal and fifty tons of lard or bacon every week. we cannot effectively relieve the suffering Spasmodic and unsystematic efforts defeat all good intentions. Canned goods are use- less, and condensed milk should be sub stituted. Fifteen thousand dollars weekly will feed every starving man, woman and child fn Cuba. Small, irregular shipments are only tant ntaMzing."

Special to The Age-Herald.

Specal to The Age-Herald.
 Washington, March al have it from authority, that is undoubtedly good, that the report of the board of inquiry on the Maine explosion is that it was the result of submarine mine, or external explosion. While the president has not yet received the report of the board he has been in formed of what it will contain.
 It is probable that the president will communicate with the Spanish government he will get satisfactory response, he will send message to congress before the end of the week, giving all the facts and leav- ing 1t to congress to make a declaration of war; The date of his message to con gross, however, depends upon the respofDe from the Spanish government.
 The president will not act with undue haste, He would avert war if that be pos sible but he will put the honor and couraee of the United States above all things

FOR RELIEF OF
 MAINE SURVIVORS Bill Passed the House by a Unan-
 imouS Vote. COUSINS TOUCHING TRIBUTE Amendment to the Hawaiian Annexation ResoIu- ton in the Senate Which Provides That
 the Question Be Voted Upon
 by the islanders.

Washington, March 2.-The house today unanimously possed the bill for the relief of the survivors and victims of the Maine dis aster. The bill reimburses the surviving officers and men for the losses they sus- tained to an amount not to exceed years sea pay, and directs the payment of sum equal to a years pay to the legal heirs of those who perished.
 There was quite a spirited debate over an amendment suggested by MT. Cannon to give the survivors each a ,year's pay out of hand instead of attempting to reimburse them for actual losses, MT. Cannon and MT. Boutelle having particularly warm pas sage at arms. Some old alleged scandals in connection with the reimbursement of the survivors of the Samoan disaster were raked up, but the debate in the end was saved from a rather sordid tone by beau- tiful tribute paid the gallant dead by Mr. Cousins, of Iowa, In a short but eloquent speech. Mir Cousins said ] "The measure now proposed is most ap- propriate and just, but hardly is it mention- able in contemplation of the great calamity to which 1t appeTtains It will be merely an incidental, a foot note to the page of history that will be open to the eyes of the republic and the world for all time to come. No human speech can add anything to the silent gratitude, the speeches reverence all ready given by great and grateful nation to its dead defenders and to their living kin. No act of congres providing for their needs can make a restitution for their sac rifice. Human nature does, in human ways, its best and still feels deep in debt. Ex- pressions of condolence have come from every country and from every cline and every nerve of steel and ocean cable has carried on electric breath the sweetest, ten drest words of sympathy for that gallant crew who manned the Maine."
