force, and for a brief time an intense
excitement prevailed which in COM
munity less just and self controlled
than ours might have led to hasty acts
of blind resentment. This spirit, how
ever. soon gave way to the caImer pro-
cesses of reason and to the resolve to
investigate the facts and await mate
rial proof before forming a judgment
as to the cause. the responsibility, and.
as the facts warranted, the remedy.
This course necessarily recommended
itself from the outset to the executive,
for only in the light of a dispassionate-
ly ascertained certainty could it de-
| termine the nature and measure of its
full duty in the matter.
1.-THE usual procedure was followed,
as in all cases of casualty or disaster
to national vessels of any maritime
state. A naval court of inquiry was at
once organized. composed of officers
well qualified by rank and practical
experience to discharge the duty i'm
posed upon them. Aided by a strong
| force of wreckers and divers, the court
proceeded to make thorough investi-
cation on the spot, employing every
available ILGdnS LOT the Impartial anu

ton and judgment, and while independ-
emily pursued no source of informa-
ton was neglected, and the fullest OPP
portunity was allowed for a stimuli
taneous investigation by the Spanish
authorities.

Gus labor on the 21st of March, and
having been approved on the ed by
the commander-in- chief of the United
States naval force on the North At

executive. 1t is herewith laid before
congress, together with the voluminous
testimony taken before the court.

the court of inquiry and the views of
this government thereon be communi-
Gated to the government of her ma

Washington. March s1-The vital
point on the Cuban situation, indepen-
denee, has shifted itself from Washing
ton to Madrid. where the Spanish gov
eminent is now giving grave and ear
nest consideration to propositions pre-
scented by the government of the Unit
ed States. On the answer to these
propositions probably depends the fu-
ture course of the relations between
the two countries. 1t is believed that
1t is now but a question of an exceed
ingly short time before the inevitable
crisis must come. The Spanish min
istry will hold a cabinet council this
afternoon, after the propositions have
been submitted to the queen regent,
and as a result of that conference it is
expected by the administration that a
definite answer to its proposals will be
received.
The propositions submitted by this
country contemplate complete and
immediate cessation of hostilities in
Cuba, the return of the reconcentra-
dos to their usual avocations, and the
ure to be secured probably on an in
demnity basis by which the island
would pay a substantial sum for its

The unexpected did not happen in con-
nection with the closing hours of the ses-
sim of New Jerseys Legislature. The
corporation measures stamped with the
approval of the Republican leaders in
the State went through as though creased
tor the occasion, while every effort to
legislate purely in the public interest,
as in the proposed repeal of the Della
ware Dam bill, was thwarted and brought
to naught. 1t would be interesting, in the
lack OF graver matters for consideration. to
speculate as to how long the people of New
Jersey will tolerate a succession OF Legis-
latures owned body and soul by those
engaged in the absorption of the public
franchises of the State for private profit!

THE FEELING IN HAVANA.
The People Deluded With the Idea OF
au Armistfce.

The People Deluded With the Idea OF
au Armistfce.
Havana, March 81. - Sunday and
Mondly were days of decided anxiety
in the political and business circles OF
Havana, but Tuesday and yesterday
there was a more quiet feeling. With
out being able to give any good reason
for their belief, many prominent men
seem satisfied that peace is assured
The word ''armistice'' is repeated from
lip to lip, as if there were some magic
within to solve the whole problem OF
Cuban strife.
Those, however, who know General
Maxine Gomez, General Calixto Gar
cha, Senior Bartolomeo Masso and the
other insurgent leaders best say all
reckon without their host who believe
these men will agree to an armistice
even if asked to do so by the United
States. unless it is plainly understood
that the truce is to be followed by a
recognition of Cuba libre.
1t is urged that General Gomez, after
holding out all through the dry sea-
son, will decline to agree to truce
during the rainy months, in which the
insurgents would have the advantage.
There are no visible preparations to
provision Havana in case of block
ade, nor is there anv notable increase
in the coal supply for naval uses. In
the opinion of Americans here, one of
the gravest dangers lies in the fact
that the ignorant classes of the city
are not in any way advised as to the
chances of war or siege. They be-
lieve Havana impregnable and the
fleet of Spain all conquering. If rudely
awakened to other views they might
become dangerous and foster internal
disorders.

Buncoed postmaster Must Paw

While Schor was postmaster of Nord-
hoff he was made the victim of a
bunco game. Some person representing
himself as a postoffice inspector ex-
amined the office and discontinued it
as money order Office, and got Schor
to surrender the money order blanks.
The pretended inspector had an ac-
