Here is an extract from an editorial
In yesterdays Register:
Meanwhile why Is the administration
delaying the report Of the court OF in
curry? That Il is doing SO is pretty gem
orally known. The naval officers and
naval experts, who have spoken on the
subject, together with the American
people have no doubt from all the owl
dence presented that the. Maine was
blown up by design. D
And herelis an extract from the same;
papers leading Washington dispatch on
the same subject: z
WASHINGTON, March s.-Ssecrctary
Long said at the close OF his day at the
navy department that no word had been
received from the court OF inquiry, and
that no orders had been or would be
given as to the movements OF the court
from Key West as the court was fully.
authorized to shape Its own movements.
The understanding here Is
that the court has not concluded It's
work. but will return TO Havana to take
testimony which has been delayed by
the difficulties in the way Of the divers.
The above Is from a dispatch from an
Associated Press report, which only a
few days since the Register very proper
ly advised Its readers was to be conf
IDENTIFY relied upon, in commenting on
the untruthful statements that are be-
Ing made by the sensational yellow jour-
nails, Here. also. is another Associated
Press dispatch which appeared in the
1ntelllsencer of the, same morning. It
was also received by our neighbour
which, for reasons best known to itself,
did not publish II:
WASHINGTON, March 3.-secretary
