HAVANA, April 5.-The Bache and

Kew West to take American citizens to
the United States who do not desire to
remain in the island. 1t appears that
the yellow fever prohibitions are modi-
fed in Florida only so far as Americans
are concerned.
1t is regarded as probable that the

tomorrow, capable of carrying away
at least 1000 people. Still, there are
no outward signs of great excitement.

| He Testifies Before a House Com

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The House
Committee on Foreign Affairs met at
1920 this morning. Captain Sigsbee,
Admiral Irwin and several experts in
explosives had been summoned to give
testimony regarding the blowing up of
the Maine. 1t has developed that the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
made a tentative proposition to the
Senate Committee on Foreign ReIa-
tions to meet in joint session to secure
concerted action, but up to the present
time the Senate committee has not
accepted the invitation.
Captain Sigsbee was the first witness
examined by the House committee.
Captain SigsOee stated it to be his opin-
ion that his vessel, the Maine, was
blown up by a submarine mine located
by the Spanish authorities. AS to
it was fired by the Spanish
he declined to express an
opinion. He told the committee what
he had testified before the Board Of
Inquiry about the buoy to which the
Maine was anchored being the most
buoy in the harbOr. The
position in which the ship was placed,
he said, was such that he could have
been fired upon by both forts at the
same time.

little sense. The governorship of
Hawaii will be decided in Wash
ington and the influence of one or
two congressional delegations will
have more important bearing Oh
the subject than all the memorials

territory can muster in the next
ten years. The pipe lines are all
pretty we'll laid and unfortunately
for the hopes of our contempor
airy, New York and Ohio delega-
tons besides others too numerous
to mention belong to that horrible
type of politicians who recognize
organizations and believe the first

should be full pledged American
republicans.
