apparently intangible conviction that
the cause of the explosion was not ao-
c!uehtal. Opinion expressed by the
Maine survivors who reached here last
saturday doubtless has contributed
largely to this view In official circles
IN thls connection it is understood
that one of the officers who arrived 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 ex-
tefnal cause, as this is based on the
idea that the first external explosion
was followed by a second internal ex-
plOsion.
Intense interest in the report was
manifested today at the White house
ana at the state, war and navy depart
ments. The president received a num-
per or congressional leaders, among
them being Speaker Reed and Chair
man Hit, of the house committee on
foreign affairs. The visit of Mr.. Reed
naturally attracted much attention. az
he seldom leaves the congressional
sphere TO make calls on the executive
branch, and it was naturally inferred
that the purpose Of his visit was to
confer upon the Cuban situation and
It's future before congress, though
neither he nor Mr. Hit was commune
cative
Secretary Long also had an extended
conference with the president but so
far as 1t could be learned It developed
nothing additional relative to the Span-
ish question.
The short session of the senate to-
day was quite unusual for the first
working day of the week That no
one was prepared to go on with any
pending measure was given as the ex-
PLANTATION, but privately the opinion
was stated by some Of the senators
that while the Cuban question remain
ed In such suspense there was no de-
sire to take up important legislation.
The outlook as to Cuba was discussed
among senators almost to the excIu-
sion Of other topics, and the belief was
quite decided that the administration
is preparing to take a positive position
within the next week
Several senators made the prediction
that the United States would inter-
vene. Being pressed for a reason they
stated that they had reached this con-
c1usion after more or less conference
with executive officers, but at the same
time saying quite emphatically that
they had no positive information on
this point.
Other senators thought the recognf-
tion Of Cuban independence more prob
able than intervention. Almost all ex-
pressed the view that some action sure
ly will follow the report of the Maine
court of inquiry regardless of its pur-
port.

PRESIDENTS PROCEDURE.
He VIII Send the Maine Report to
Congress Without Delay.


WASHINGTON, March 21.-The pro-
cedure in connection with the submis-
sion Of the report of the Maine court
Of inquiry, by the president, to con-
gress is now clearly outlined, and a
cabinet officer today explained the gem
eral line of action at present intended
to be pursued upon receipt of the re-
port, which is expected to reach Wash
ington next Thursday
A copy Of it will be laid before the
Spanish government very early and as
soon as can be consistently done the
report will be sent to congress and
made public at the same time The re-
port to congress will be accompanied
by message from the president stat
ing. that, after receiving the report,
the conclusions were laid before the
Spanish government and appropriate
action from that quarter asked.
1t is stated positively that no part
of the report and no intimation of the
findings has reached the executive au-
thorities in Washington as yet. AT the
same time it Is a noticeable fact that
the current of official opinion Is begin
ming to follow that Of the unofficial
opinion expressed so positively and
persistently 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

an hour today, and urged upon the
president the necessity of taking a con-
SerVatlVe course. 1t Is doubtful if the
president will follow the advice Of
Reed. He realizes that congress is
fully as impatient as the people, and
the only reason why the long delay has
been brooked is that time was gained
in which munitions of war could be
purchased.
1t is now established beyond doubt
that the president and nearly all Of the
Republican leaders of the house and
senate have known for more than two
weeks that the report Of the board was
legitimate result of the investigation,
provided the true American spirit is
shown in dealing with Spain.
Reed, Hanna and the commercial
peace-making combine know the situ-
alton and are only seeking delay in the
hope Of carrying the matter over until
such time as Spain might gradually
release her hold in Cuba and grant in
dependence.
Reed and his following take about
this position. The loss of life and prop
erty sustained by blowing up the Maine
was a calamity that must now be ac-
cepted with resignation and should not
be made the basis of involving two ma
tions into war. Explanations should
exhaust every effort to bring about
peaceful settlement of the matter, and
to this end ample time must be al
lowed for Spain to examine and go
into all the evidence taken before the
American board.
To sustain this position the conserva-
tive element will be able to cite pre-
cedents and use arguments in favor of
an international court of arbitration
before which counsel on the part of the
United States would appear
1t looks tonight as II there would be
several lengthy chapters in the contro-
versy before free flag flies over Cuba
if the influences which are so potent
in both branches of congress are given
sway.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 21-
The Minnesota congressman and others
from the state who reside in Washing
ton, were greatly surprised today when
Senators Davis and Nelson announced
that they had agreed on two of the fat
federal positions, Col. R. G. Evans will
succeed Mr.. Stringer as United States
district attorney, and Ferdinand Won
Bombach, of Alexandria, will be the
next collector of internal revenue
Some of the Minnesota members ex-
pressed satisfaction, but others think
they see the work OF the Clough-Van
SAINT combine. The first congressional
district which gives a great Repub-
lican vote, had candidates for both of
these positions. Mr.. George B. Edger-
ton has very strong Endorsements. from
all over the state. for district attorney,
and ex-senator Burkhardt, of Wa
basha county has been given great en-
couragement, for the position of COL
lector Of internal revenue. But the
talk among the delegation here is that
the first congressional district must Re
satisfied with having the Republican
nomination for governor which is to
go to Van SAINT. 1t is known that Col
Evans is a strong Van SAINT man, and
the report comes from Minnesota that
Gov. Clough finally made the deal
which resulted in the appointment of
Won Bombach and vans.

NEW YORK, March 21.-In his adj
dress at the meeting of the Methodist
preachers in the Methodist book con-
cern building here today, Bishop Wal
den touched upon the Cuban question.
He said in part: "I do not think that
the Latin race with its present ability
can govern itself. We don't want
Cuba. We want Hawaii, but we don't
want Cuba.
Suppose we discover that the Maine
was blown up? The question still re-
mains whether that is sufficient TO
cause us to go to war;"
CA voice in the rear Of the hall: Yes
it is.'O
Autonomy for Cuba, I think, would
answer every purpose. 1t would make
Spain responsible. Meanwhile Cuba
would learn how to govern herself.
I'm glad we have such level head
ed man as Mr.. Mckinley at Washing
ton. 1t does not hurt him bit either.
that he is a Methodist. Mr.. Mckinley
and his cabinet are responsible. I
happen to know through members Of
Mr. McKinley's family that the weight
of the present responsibility rests
heavily upon him. He scarcely sleeps
day or night"
