reotion of the president, has
cabled United States Minister
Woodford at Madrid. to notify
the Spanish government Of this
conclusion. The president and
his cabinet advisers held two
extended sessions today. one at
1880 a. m. and another at 2:3O
p. m. at which the report was
considered in detail. Members
Of the cabinet stated after the
meeting that the discussion was
of n grave character and that
never since the wrecking of the
Maine has the situation seemed
so critical.
The Spanish government has
cabled officially to Washington
that the Spanish naval commits
sion holds the disaster to the
Maine to be of internal origin.
The government Of Spain. it
can be stated positively, is not
disposed to turn back the tor
pedo fiotilla now proceeding
from the Canaries, and would
be disinclined to consider a
suggestion from this govern
ment tending to interfere with
the disposition by Spain of her
own naval forces.

precedented scale is being hur-
ried to completion by the war

THE SITUATION.


Washington, March &c. -
The situation has not material
ly changed from yesterday. The
change of base of the fotilla on
the Canary island has excited
the administration to a great
extent. Really it was expect
ed that Spain would not make
this demonstration by sending
this hotilla toward the Western
hemisphere, but as it has done
this and as our government has
sent out its cruisers as general
ly understood here. though we
really know nothing about it, it
is believed at II O'Clock tonight
that the conflict between the
contending nations might occur
at sea.
In the dispatch / sent the
other night to the effect that
one Of the members of the naval
committee told me we were
bound to have a row, and it
would come from the move
m ent of the torpedo boats from
the Canary islands, it looks
now that this is the point from
which the first gun will be fired.
The navy and the department
of state have received positive
information that this hotilla of
Spain has moved away from
the Canary islands and is COM
ing this way. Inasmuch as
there has been no overt action
on our part in the way Of war
this demonstration on the part
of the other nation is taken
here as q warlike movement.
President Mckinley has
called to his counsel democrats.
This is a most significant thing.
The best Judgment here is that
this means war. He played
the game for his party up to
the limit and did not have q
consultation with a single dem
ocrat until twelve days ago. He
evidently got scared and then
called on such people as Bailey
of Texas. Cockrell of Missouri
and threw himself on their boz
SONS.
1t looks more like war every
hour that passes, but no human
being can tell what will happen
in this day of politicians and
politcs.-W. q. s. in Dallas

WASHINGTON EXCITED. .

Washington, March 26.-The
court of inquiry appointed to
investigate the cause of the
Maine disaster has reported
that the loss of the battleship
was due to an outside explo-
sion.

EXPLOSION WAS EXTERNAL.

Washington. March 26.-The
board of inquiry into the loss
of the Maine finds that the ex-
plosicn which destroyed the
Maine was from the outside
and does not fix the RESPONSE
bility for the disaster.
1t does not express an opin-
ion as to the character of the
explosive, but the testimony
goes to show that it was a pow
erful submarine mine, the ex-
act character of which is not
determined by the testimony.
though the belief was expressed
that it was what is known as a
floating submarine mine.
There were two explosions,
the board finds. The first was
from the outside, and that set
off one of the smaller magazines.
One of the highest officials in
the service of the government
said definitely today that the
report of the Maine court of in
quiry shows that the explosion
was due to external cause.
1t was impossible to get any
additional information, though
the impression was gathered
after q series of questions that
the board had not located the
cause beyond that it was exter-
nal.
