unable to fix the responsibility for the
explosion. The court does not express an
opinion as to the character of the ex-
plosive; but the testimony goes to show
that 1t was a powerful submarine mine,
the exact character of which is not de
termined by the testimony, though the
belief was expressed that it was float
ing submarine mine. There We're two
explosions, the court finds. The first was

Of the smaller magazines. 1t was this
result expressed in detail and with the
precision of court deeply conscious of
it's responsibility, together with the evil
dence on which 1t waA based, that oc-
cupied the attention of cabinet officers
throughout it's extended sessions of the
morning and afternoon. All other and
lesser subjects gave way to this fore
most question. There was no change in
the plan Of making the report public and
| transmitting it to congress early next
week, accompanied by a brief message
from the president.
| While interest was thus centered al
| the White House, the navy and war de-
! partments were hurrying forward theil
work Of preparation. The advance of the
! Spanish torpedo fiotilla continued to re
1 ceive the closest attention of naval Off
cials; and while, so far as could be as
certained, no definite line of action wa!
l determined upon, the need of intercept
ing this fleet was urged by the highes
naval authorities. From the standpoint
Of the Spanish government this move
ment was not menace, having been de,
cided upon many weeks ago On the
contrary, the Spanish government holds
that the extensive armament of the Dry
! Tortugas IS a more direct hostile act
| against Spain than any movement of the
| iotilla. Instead of stopping the fotrla,
the present attitude of Spain tends to-
ward reinforcing it with other Spanish
vessels, not as menace, but because of
what tho Spanish government feels is a
requirement called for by the existing
condition of affairs.
Hardly less suggestive than the ap-
proach of the torpedo flotilla was the
information received today that the
Spanish government had hurried to
completion extensive Notifications on

FRANCE WISHES PEACE.
Otherwise the Cuban Complications Do
Not Concern France.

Paris, March 25.-In Figaro NJ. Hano-
taux is thus reported:
THE Cuban business is not our bust
ness, but that of Spain and the United
States. AT the same time it affects US
doubly from the moral point of view,
because we entertain the best and most
friendly relations with the two coun-
tries which are brought face to face by
this irritating question. On one hand is
the queen regent, a sovereign worthy to
be compared with the greatest sove-
reign, at the head of a sister people, to-
ward whom we are drawn by affinities
of race; on the other hand, the generous
people of a sister republic, to whom
are united by a hundred years of com
mon life There must then, be no
struggle, there must be. no conflict be-
tween these two fIations who are SO
strongly attached to US, and who are
SO dear to our hearts There, as else
where, as everywhere, France desires
above everything, and with all her
strength, peace"
