AUTONOMY NOT ACCEPTABLE Il.

Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON, Jan. 6.-The Washington correspond
ent Of the Daily Chronicle cables that the Ad-
ministration is convinced that the autonomy
granted to Cuba is acceptable neither to the
Cubans nor Loyalists, and that the present pol
icy Of the Spanish Government cannot end the
war.
The correspondent adds that all the reports
reaching Washington show that the destitution
in Cuba Is of the most horrible kind and that
voluntary contributions will not suffice to 70
lieve q tithe of it.
The writer further says that he learns from a
person who enjoys President McKinley's conf
dence that when Mr.. Mckinley is satisfied that
the present condition cannot be relieved by con-
contribution from the United States so long ~
the war continues some steps will DO taken.

 It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, a regularly graduated physician and an eminent and skillful specialist, who is and for thirty years has been chief consulting physician to the Inva1ids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. The " "Favorite Prescription !" makes the or gans of wornanhood strong and healthy. It cures all weakness and disease. It pre- pares for approaching maternity. It does away with the discomforts of the expect ant period. It alleviates the pains of par turition and makes baby's advent easy and safe. Druggists sell more of it than of all other remedies for these troubles combined.

tended to corroborate his positive state force exerted externally. The ensign's position now appears to be impregna- ble.
 The written reports of divers cover ing their weeks work and further care full study of Powelson's drawings, I un- derstand, were the subject matter ex- clusively at yesterdays session of the court. They will probably keep the court busy at least one more day and possibly two. It is not certain that the court will close it's case at that point, however. New witnesses, whose stories appear important, at least to them selves, are continually cropping up. Some of them come before this digni- fled body to repeat some wildly absurd tale that has already been hawked about the streets and whispered to cor respondents for days or weeks, but it is the policy of the court to give even such cheap newsmongers as these d conscientious hearing, provided they seem to be sincere, for 1t is the purpose of the court to hear and sift all the evil dence that seems to bear directly or in- directly upon it's task.
 Without assuming to forecast what this conservative court of naval experts will actually report when the time comes to formulate it's conclusions I do not think it presumptuous in the light Of the evidence already presented to

 THE PRESIDENT Prominent Congressman Agree to the Purchase of
 Foreign WarshipS.

Q NEW YORK, March 6-The Q 6 Herald's Washington corre- 6 6 spondent telegraphs: There is a 6 6 disposition on the part of Con- g g gress; Democrats and Republi- q 6 cans alike, to support any course e 6 in this crisis which the President ~ 6 may determine to pursue. 6
 It was reported tonight that there was a meeting of prominent Senators at the home of Senator Hoar of Massa- chusetts this afternoon, and that they agreed that if the President desired to buy foreign-built men-of-war they would pledge their votes to sustain his action. Members of the House Naval Committee are equally hearty in their statements that they will vote the nec- essary appropriations should the Presi- dent decide to purchase foreign built ships.
 I learned to-day that Secretary Long has given telegraphic instructions to place the cruisers Minneapolis and Col umbia in commission immediately. It is admitted by the authorities that there are no men to form the crews for IIleSe SIlpSy puS AI io PiCPOcCu lO SLllSl additional men and ask Congress to grant the necessary authority It is probable that only half crews will be placed on board each ship for the pres ent. The remainder can be recruited and placed on board without delay The department issued orders to sev- eral officers to report at League Island during this week for duty on board the cruisers Both ships have been placed in condition for service. Their supplies. with the exception of coal, have been placed on board by their reserve crews, and coal can be put in the bunkers within a week. It is. the purpose to continue Captain J. H. Sands in com mand of the Columbia. Captain G. H. Wadleigh, who reinquished command of the Minneapolis last May when that vessel entered, into reserve, may re- ceive orders to return to her. It is ex- pected the department will announce the details of officers for these ships probably tomorrow. As the Herald has stated, the Columbia and Minne- apolis, when placed in commission, will be attached to the North Atlantic squadron, and when the time comes will probably form, with the Brooklyn and New TX. flying squadron to de- str0y commerce.

the recall of General Lee. He has borne himself throughout this crisis with judgment, fidelity and courage, to the Presidents entire satisfaction. As to the supplies for the relief of the Cuban people all arrangements have been made to carry a consign- ment from Key West by one of the naval vessels may be most adapted for the purpose-to Ma tanzas and Sagua.
 Beyond the foregoing those who had participated in the conference at the White House would not discuss the subject, and it was stated positively that the authorized statement com prised everything that would be given to any one.
 The advices from Madrid, together with the authoritative statement here, left no room for doubt as to what had occurred. The request for General Lees recall Is understood to have come within the last few days, and doubtless since the last Cabinet meet ing on Friday, as no reference to it was made at that time. It came through Minister Woodford-a some what unusual proceeding as the com mon mode of requesting the with drawal of a Minister or Consul is through the representative of the Gov ernment making the request, which in

o HAVANA, March 6.-The Court
 o of Inquiry held no formal ses
 o sion to-day aboard the Man
 grove, but spent several hours
 o this morning over the drawings o and diagrams and in informal o consultation with Ensign Powell o son and Diver Andrew Olsen,
 o who remained aboard the light o house tender until noon. Havana o Harbor presented a brilliant hol- o iday spectacle to-day, and hun o dreds of boatloads of visitors
 from the shore visited the Span
 0 ish cruisers, Vizcaya and Almi- o rante Oquendo. The Spanish 0 officers held open house all day, o and received courteously the
 o great troops of Spaniards and o Cubans, who strolled at will over o the decks and admired the spick o and span appearance of every thing about the two fine 0 sister ships of Spain. At o o'clock the captains gig o was ordered off from the AL 0 mirante Oquendo. and Captain o Juan Batista Lazaga Cary Q paid his official visit of courte- o sy to Captain Cowles and Cap o tain Sigsbee on board the dis O patch boat Fern. The Oquendo's o captain remained about ten min o utes. During that time he ex- o pressed warmly to Captain Sigs- o bee his sympathy and sorrow at o the loss of the Maine. Only one 0 body was recovered to-day. It o was identified as that of Ser o geant Wagner of the Maines o marine guard. n n n n n n 0 n n n n n n n n n n f

The Herald Call correspondent has no desire to magnify Ensign Powell sons part in the international drama now being played in the neighboring harbors of two friendly powers. have never met Powelson personally and do not know him by sight, but tb ? fact re- mains that the courts chief purpose in returning to Havana yesterday was to clinch beyond peradventure of doubt this very evidence, and record it so conclusively that it's accuracy can never be fairly questioned. No other witness was summoned yesterday, though the court held it's usual two sessions and they were busy ones, too. In all probability no other witness than PoweIson will be heard tomorrow or Tuesday, and if any other testimony is taken hereafter in Havana than that of the ensign it will be of incidental rather than of vital character.
 The Herald and Call in their reports of the inquiry task have indulged in no flights of imagination nor have they given credence to wild reports emanat- ing from irresponsible or prejudiced sources. They were the first to ex- plain the nature of Powelson's discov- cries and were quick to realize their vast import. That the court itself places a like value upon this particular evidence Is pretty well established by the fact that it has already given Pow eison more of its time than has been devoted to any other five witnesses combined, except, perhaps. to Captain Sigsbee.
 learned to-day that when the Court of Inquiry left here nearly week ago for Key West it realized thoroughly that in Powelson's report at last lay the true key to the problem. It re- quested that portion of the divers at work on the wreck should be kept busy exclusively in verifying or disproving the deductions Lieutenant Command 1 CT Wainwright readily assented, and it was agreed that the reports of these !! divers should be made to the court in writing and presented by Powelson. | Wainwright, being Powelson's superior | in rank, has retained supervision of the divers movements, but one of the most efficient corps of submarine experts has acted for nearly a week practically un- der orders of the ensign, making their written reports through him.
