at which the report was considered In
detail. Members Of the cabinet stated
after the meeting that the discussion
was Of grave character and that never
since the wrecking of the Maine has the
situation seemed so critical.
The Spaniards Say Not External.
The Spanish government has cabled
officially to Washington that the Span
ish naval commission holds the disaster
TO the Maine to be of internal origin
The government Of Spain. it can be
stated positively, is not disposed to turn
back the torpedo fotilla now proceeding
from the Canaries, and would be disin-
clined to consider a suggestion from this
government tending to interfere with
the disposition by Spain Of her own ma.
val forces. War preparations on an un-
precedented scale is being hurried to
partments. and the country is practical
ly on war footing.
Most Eventual Day Since the Sixties.
The fcresoin. gives the record Of ore
OF the most e~sntful days the national
capital has seen since the close Of the
civil war. 1t was day of profound i'm.
portant action. Of the deepest anxiety,
coupled with naval and military activ-
ity. one step following another in rapid
succession. Representative men of the
administration. public men in all
branches Of official and congressional
life. no less than the public in general
shared in the tension among the high
est ofiicials-nor indeed was 1t possible
from what was clearly apparent in the
developments Of the day-to minimize
the situation.
Report Taken to the White House.
Viewed in detail, the findings Of the
court OF inquiry was the most vital
feature. Commander Mark, Judge ad-
vocate of the court Of inquiry, delivered
the report to Secretary Long early yes
terday morning. and shortly after 1t
was carried to the White House and
placed in the hands Of the president. At
1880 the cabinet assembled, half an
hour earlier than usual. and began the
consideration Of the momentous docu-
mcnt.

Test Of His Coed Faith.
Washington, March 2s.-The stirring
scenes of the Fifty-firs4 congress. when
members Of the minority were charging
down the aisles protesting against the
rulings Of Speaker Reed, were recalled
yesterday in the turbulent protests
made by the minority against q ruling
Of the chair during the consideration Of
the naval appropriation bill. The rul-
ing In effect compelled members to con-
flne their remarks under the five-min-
ute rule to the subject before the house,
and was made against Hartman (sil-
yer Rep). who attempted to make q
political speech. The ruling was de-
nouncpd as usurpation. and appeal
after appeal was taken. When all else
failed every expedient was resorted to
to block progress with the bill. As a
result but four pages were disposed of.
Foss Makes War Speech.
Before the bill was taken up for
amendment, Foss (Rep.) of Illinois, a
member of the naval committee, made
a general speech in advocacy of the
policy of building up strong and pow
erful navy. The eyes Of the American
people. he said, were fixed upon the
American navy. the defender of the liv-
ing and the guardian Of the honor of the
dead. II an emergency was upon us
the American navy was ready to meet
It. With glowing words he paid an elo-
quent tribute to the brilliant achieve
ments Of our navy in the revolutionary
war. the war Of 1872 and the war of the
rebellion. eulogizing the deeds Of John
Paul Jones. Decatur, Perry, Porter.
Farragut and Dupont.
How Hartman Started the Row.
Hartman created the diversion which
caused the blocking of business during
the rest of the day by delivering a five
minute speech satirizing the Republi-
can party. When under cover of a sec
ond pro fOrma amendment he attempted
to proceed Bddtelle called him to order.
He made the point that Hartman's
remarks were not pertinent to the
amendment. A lively parliamentary
wrangle followed. when the chair sus-
tanned the point of order. After the de-
bate on an appeal had run on for an
hour Bou.elle moved to close the debate
on the appeal. Instantly q point Of Or
der was made against Boutelle's mo-
tion. which was overrulea. Party feel
ing ran high. The vote was taken on
Boutelle's motion to close debate on the
appeal ard carried-1l1 to IS. The vote
then came upon the appeal from the
decision of the chair and the chair was
sustained-120 to 81.

u VIII Consist sf Five ships-6ome More
Naval Disposition.
The orders issued by the navy DEPART
ment during the day covered every
branch Of naval armament. The "hy-
ing squadron" was definitely estab-
lished. with Commodore W., s. schley
in command. He will hoist his COM
modore's flag on the flagship Brooklyn
next Monday. Those Of the SQUAD
ron will be the armored cruiser Brook
Ign, the battleships Massachusetts and
Texas and the cruisers Columbia and
Minneapolis. Other ships which are now
or hereafter at Hampton Road will not
be Of the flying squadron. but will be-
long to the North Atlantic station un-
der Captain Sampson. The flying
squadron is to be a small, compact
fleet Of the best ships in the navy, for
quick service at any point along the
Atlantic.
At the same time the North Atlantic
station under Captain Sampson is to
be further augmented. The cruiser
Cincinnati. which left Port Antonio
three days ago under sealed orders, il
to report at Key West and become a
part Of Captain Simpsons feet. The
gunboat Wilmington, also en- route from
Port Antonio. will likewise report to
Captain Sampson at Key West, as well
as the gunboat vicksburg. now at
Hampton Roads. Late yesterday the
navy department gave out the following
list Of vessels as showing the exact
oh rta ~ sA
THE following vessels compose the
North Atlantic squadron: New York.

Captain Bradford, chief Of naval
equipment. has completed plans for Sc
curing a naval coaling station in waters
south Of Cuba, and the papers are now
ready for final action. The station will
not be on Navassa Island, as has been
suggested, but is likely to be at one of
the several fine harbors Of Hayti or
San Domingo, or else on the Danish
island Of st. Thomas. which is open to
purchase from Denmark for a consid-
cradle sum. Favorable answers were
received from the New York naval
militia Of their readiness on short no.

BAILEY's VERY FRANK STATEMENT.
Admits That He Is Filibustering In Order
to Kill Time for RevenRe.


The wrangle then continued for some
time and when the minority was beaten
it proceeded with a filibuster, and de-
manded vote by tellers on Hartman's
pro fOrma amendment, which was
denied. Bailey denounced the ruling.
IF you do not permit US to verify the
count" he declared, you destroy the
last safeguard Of the minority A dis
honest man in the chair - and there
have been dishonest men in the chair
could defeat the will Of this house. I
am frank to say that my purpose in
inaugurating this f1libuster was to con-
sumo twice as much time as you denied
the gentleman from Montana and in
tend to do it every time you deny a
reasonable demand" democratic ap-
plause.l
The chair finally announced that he
did not desire to deprive any member of
q right honestly demanded. II the
gentleman from Texas would state that
the demand for .tellers was made in
good faith he would entertain the de-
mand. II repel as an insult" retorted
Bailey, that demand from the occu-
pant Of the chair. The chair has no
right to ask me to disclose my motives
and you and all the power behind you
cannot compel me to say what my mo-
tives are" democratic applause.
Thereupon the chair insisted upon his
ruling and the reading Of the bill pro-
ceeded - also the filibuster until ad-
journment closedfthe incident"
Chairman Boutelle. of the naval af-
fairs committee, introduced during the
afternoon q resolution calling on the
committee on rules for a rule continu-
ing the debate on the naval bill under
the five-minute rule until an hour, and
that a day be designated by the COM
mittee, that the committee shall then
rise and report the bill and any amend
ments adopted thereto to the house;
that thereupon the previous question
shall be considered as ordered on the
bill and amendments to final vote,
which shall then be taken without in
tervening motion. This is to meet the
filibustering tactics.

Only Thing II Ii Sure OF Il That the Ex.
plosion Was External.
The rigid rules Of secrecy which pre-
vail at cabinet meetings were made
doubly strict in this case, and no inti-
nation Of the results reached by the
court were known until . o'clock. These
results. briefly stated, are that the loss
OF the Maine was due to an explosion
from the outside. the court being unable
to fix the responsibility for the explo-
sion. The court does not express an
opinion as to the character Of the ex.
plosivc. but the testimony goes to show
that II was a powerful submarine mine.
the exact character Of which is not de-
termined b. the testimony. though the
belief was expressed that 1t was a float
ing submarine mine. There were two
explosions. the court finds: the first was
from the outside. and that set off one Of
the smaller magazines.
There was no change in the plan of
making the report public and transmit
ting IL TO congress carly next week, &C.
cofnpanied by a brief message from the
president. While interest was thus GEN.
tered at the White House the navy and
war departments were hurrying forward
their work OF preparations. The ad-
vance Of the Spanish torpedo fiotilla
continued TO receive the closest attention

could lie ascertained no definite line OF

Of interceptins this feet was urged by

From the standpoint Of the Spanish

JUDGE SAYS IT MEANS WAR.
Cannot See How Fight with Spain Can
BE Ayerted.

Indianapolis, March 26.-Juge Baker,
Of the United States court for the dis
trict of Indiana. in an interview last
night, said that he does not conceive
how war with Spain can be averted.
The United States, he says, would be
justified in intervening on humanitarian
grounds. Speaking of the starvation
tactics Of Weyier. he says: That is not
war-that is hell"
He says that Spain was bound by in
ternational law to see that the Maine
was protected in every possible way,
and having failed is bound fer a large
money indemnity. The United States,
he says, cannot afford to go on record
in history for allowing 100000 Cubans
to starve at its very door without TAX
Ing measures to prevent It.

An interesting incident of the
Pennsylvania campaign was the
return of Gideon Marsh, who is
held responsible for wreckiug the
Keystohe bank. The Quay re-
publica hs were making insinua-
tons a to what Marsh might say
about Wanamaker it he were to
return{ Wanamaker in public
speech! called on Gideon Marsh to
come out from his hiding and say
what Re pleased. The following
day Gideon Marsh appeared on the
scene and was taken in custody
by ths Philadelphia police. What
effect. bis return had on the cleo
ton Is an unknown quantity, but
the question now arises whether
Quay has been keeping Marsh for
political purposes.

Hawaii has been annexed but
Henry T. Oxnard and his beet
sugar followers do not love the
new territory any more than they
ever, did. Oxnard has given no.
tlce that the beet sugar men will
combine with the tobacco pro-
ducers and ask Congress to place
a daty on imports coming from
the new colonies. That the peo-
pie of the States will allow such
action is not probable, but Oxnard
and; his crowd may be able to
block Legislation for Hawaii in the
coming. short session of Congress.
Thhre are a good number of Rep
resentatives and Senators whose
terms expire on March 4th who
may noe be sverse to wbooping it
up for home producers as against
the colonies.
