ANOTHER VERSION.
A Correspondent Says Woodiord's De-

LONDON. March 29.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, gives a ver-
sion of the negotiations between United
States Minister Woodford and the Span
ish Cabinet last week. differing some
what from that given yesterday by the
Standards Madrid correspondent. lie
says:
THE note which General Woodford
presented on Wednesday WAS Of commina-
tory nature. 10 demanded that Spain put
an end to the war in Cuba Immediately
recapituating the damage done TO Ameri-
can interests and further limiting that
the war was a danger 30 the public

and Florida being the means OF convey

"Spain's reply was energetic. Tt de-
clarcs that the war would have been end

moral help and support the rebels We're

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-A full SYM
opsls Of the report OF the Spanish Naval
Commission which investigated the de-
struction OF the battleship Maine IS here
given by the Associated Press. 1t IS
taken from copy OF the original report
which IS now on its way here from Hs-
vana. tho synopsis being cabled in the
meantime and to-day placed in the hands
of this government.
The conclusions reached are directly op-
posite to those in the report Of the Court
Of Inquiry submitted to Congress to-day
The synopsis is as follows:
NO EVIDENCE or TORPEDO.
"rhe report contains the investigations
made by experts. These estimates clear
ly deducc and prove the absence of all
those attendant circumstance which are
invariably present on the occasion OK am
explosion of a torpedo.
"The evidence Of witnesses compara-
lively close to the Maine al the moment
IS 10 the effect that only one explosion
occurred: that no column Of water was
thrown into the air. that no shock 10
the side of the nearest vessel Nas felt,
nor on ltiA WIS any WIZ lhAt'h NFN'~~' ''''N
that no dead FISH were found.
"Tho evidence of the senior pilot of 'he
harbor states that there is abundance OF
fish IN the harbor and that this is corro-
bOrated by other witnesses. The aS-
sistant engineer Of works states th1t ar
ter explosions made during the execution
of work I'm ths harbOr ho has always
found dead fish.
"The divers were unable 20 examine
the bottom of the Maine which was buried
i'm the mud but "a careful examination OF
the sides of the vessel. the rents ana
breaks I'm which all point outward. shows
without "a doubt that the explosion was
from the inside.
"a minute examination of tho bottom
OF the harbor around the vessel shows alb
soIutely no signs of the action of a tor
pedo and the Fiscal Judge Advocated Of
tho commission can find no precedent for
the explosion Of the storage magazines OF
"a vessel by torpedo.
NOT ALLOWED TO COOPERATE.
"Thc report makes clear that owing 20
tho special nature Of the proceedings fol-
lowed. and the absolute respect shown
for the extra-territOrial status of the
Maine the commission has been pre-
vented from making such an examination
OF the inside OF the vessel as would de-
terminc even the hypothesis OF the inter-
nal origin OF the accident. This is TO be
attributed 20 the regrettable refusal TO
permit Of the necessary cooperation OF
the Spanish commission. both with the
commander and crow of the Maine and
Tho different American officials command
cd to investigate the cause Of tho explo-
sion. and tho wreckers employed in saly-
age work.

as DO may be possible. and also Of the
bottom on which she rests, will prove
