Mr.. CURTIS, the well Informed
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Record, says
"There isn't man beneath the roof
of the navy building, unless it be Sec
rotary Long, who does not yearn for
war. This belligerent spirit is en-.
couraged by the contractors for pro-
iectiles, ordnance, ammunition and
other supplies, who have thronged the
department since the destruction OF
she Maine, anxious to furnish all the
fighting material that can be paid for
aud to assist the correspondents of SEN
sational newspapers in manufacturing
canards and scare news to stir up an
excitement throughout the country and
influence Congress to vote additional
appropriations"
Mr.. Curtis is careful and experience.

says on the subject referred to is rock

No Northern man can now plead the
forfeiture of his life insurance policy as
o reason for not volunteering for the
Cuban war, as the insurance companies
announce that life insurance policies
will not be forfeited by enlistment in
such war. But there will still be the
substitute system to fall back upon in
case of need.

GEN. MILES SPEAKs.-General Nell
son A: Miles spoke at the annual bap-
quet of the Second Army Corps Wash
ingtpn last night. He said in part ;
mo nation has ever had so much to
say against war, against the mainte-
nance of large army or against any,
thing that might lead US to conflict
and no nation has had so much to say
in favor of peace and arbitration. No
people are so anxious to maintain peace
at home and abroad as the American
people. We are slow to lake up our
arms, but when the time does come l,
trust We would not be found slumber-
bering. l hope there will be no war. 1
as a soldier, trust that if there is war
there will be no Bull Runs to begin
with but an Appomattox: We will be
prepared so that the conflict should be
short, sharp and decisive"

SPAIN ANDTHE UNITED STATES,


The Mangrove, with the members OF
the court of inquiry on board, sailed
from Havana last night for Key West.
Captain Sampson, president of the
board, stated that the decision to leave
Havana was not reached until that
afternoon, after consultation Of the
members. 1t was decided that, while
further testimony might be obtained
there, this was not sufficiently likely to
Justify longer stay The court can
return if the divers, or wreckers, make
discoveries that will add to the stock
of knowledge now gathered. The court
called upon Consul General Lee yes.
terday afternoon to bid him farewell
and subsequently, Captain Sigsbee said
adieu to the court.
4 member of the Cabinet expressed
the opinion yesterday that the findings
of the court will be received by the
President this week. He says the
President has no information as to what
will be the nature of the courts con.
illusions.
The construction of five modern dry
docks was agreed upon yesterday by
the House committee on naval affairs.
They are to be located at Portsmouth,
n. H; Boston, League Island, near
Philadelphia; Algiers, near New Or
leans, La, and Mare Island, near San
Francisco.
The torpedo boat destroyers which
Spain is sending to Cuba have power
enough, it is believed, to blow up
fleet of battle ships and cruisers. The
United States navy is weak in this
class of boats. President Mckinley, it
is stated, is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of sending flying squadron to watch
the fotilla.
The Spanish government has been
advised by consuls that tilibuster expe'
ditons are being organized in New
York and Florida, destined for Cuba
and Porto Rico. The Spanish minister
at Washington has been instructed to
make earnest representations against
auch violations of international law.
Secretary Alger yesterday made an
allotment of funds from the appropria
ton of $50, 000,0 900, which will greatly
facilitate the work of the war bureaus.
These bureaus had not been able to
conclude any contracts for the procure
ment of war supplies because no allot-
uaent has been made. but yesterday af.
ternoon thp ordnance bureau was given
81, 50O,0 900, and Business went forward
with rush. 1t is true that th.s sum is
already mortgaged under provisional
arrangements made during the past
week, but with the assurance of more
funds to come the work of the bureau
is now moving rapidly.
; dispatch from Washireto ION says:
Important oyertures from Spain look
ing toward peace and fuller measure
of liberty for Cuba were outlined yes
{ rday. Premier Sagata simply asks 8
b ut in war preparations, so that Cuba's
elections may proceed uninfueuced
thereby. In that event a satisfactory
solution of the Cuban question is prom
ised. In case of failure and Weyler-
ito uprising, Spain would welcome
