HAWLEY AND DALzELL.
Spanish Situation Discussed Be.
 fore Yale Alumni.
MILLIONS WOULD RESPOND TO 4 CALL.
American Patriotism Would Shine Re- splendant All College Men Should Stand Together in the Inter-
 ests of the Country.

WASHINGTON, March 8. = Senator Hawley, chairman of the senate com mittee on military affairs, and Repre- sentative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. re- ferred to the Spanish situation in their speeches before the Yale alumni of Washington Tuesday night Sena- tor Hawley aroused much en- thusiasm by referring to the conditions now existing in this country, saying that should a just cause demand, millions of men would respond to a call of duty. There has been lot of talk of war said Senator Hawley, and the cool. half spoken, half-unspolSen words of patri- otism that have arisen all over the country are, indeed. a pride to Ameri- ca. IL is magnificent. At any just de- mand millions will jump to the call of duty, and do their duty as Americans. No just cause will fail to find ready re- sponse among all Americans"
 Representative Dalzell said all col lege men should stand together in the interests of the country. We are liv- ing in peculiar time" said Mr. Dal-
 
 such crisis as this generation has never known. For many months our sympathies have gone out to a people on neighboring island, who have been suffering from a cruel and unjust tyranny. On top of all this comes the news of an appalling disaster. One of the noblest ships of our navy has gone down in Havana har- bor, and hundreds of our Jack tars. their sins not confessed, have met with terrible fate
 After severely condemning sensa- tional reports, Mir. Dalzell said: An other conspicuous point of which we are proud is the self-repression and the calm dignity the American people as a whole have exercised throughout the entire incident. 1t shows that we are capable of exercising calm justice in all things. The American people have their eyes fixed an d cool. delib- crate and wise statesman who Is guiding our magnificent ship of state, and all American hearts are loyal and loving in his support. They believe that Mir. Mckinley will decide when the time for decision arrives. and that when he does decide he will decide rightly, and have behind him to a man the entire population of this great country. This is time when college men are looked to-

CRITICISED FROM WITHIN.
Spain Forciniy Arraigned by Cardinal Cas-
 eajaras of NaIisdoIid.

LONDON, March 3.-Cardiaal Casca- jaras, archbishop of Valladolid. has is- sued pastoral which creates the great east sensation in Spain, so much so, in deed. that all telegrams addressed to provincial and foreign papers, giving extracts from this pastoral have been suppressed by censorship.
 Cardinal Cascajares begins by declar- ing that immortality of the administra- tion and the lack of justice in Cuba gave the Cubans a pretext for rebelling. He afterwards censures in the strong est terms the neglect with which the Spanish soldiers in Cuba have been treated, SO that the mortality among them has been horrible.
 He hints, without naming Weyler, that the immortality of Weyler's admin istration and his rapacity have been the probable cause of the death of thou sands of soldiers Cardinal Cascajares says:
 The deadly colonial war takes away, without glory, the flower of our youth. national complications, and with war that may prove still more disastrous.
 Our finances are ruined. our police doubtful and vacillating, our commerce in ruins, our industry expiring, our agriculture anaemie.
 Our people, having spent its energies, it's blood, its money in useless battle. and having lost confidence in govern ments, shows that indifference which frequently precedes despair. and which may burst out in terrible explosion of anger and indignation when least expected"
 In other paragraphs Cardinal Casca- jares says:
 Everyone acknowledges the actual situation is more critical than any Spain has traversed during the present generation. It can only be compared with the period which preceded the French invasion. All people acknowl- edge that a storm roars outside while volcano groans underfoot.
 Money spent in the follies of carni- val ought to have been spent in food and medicines for our poor soldiers. and in building warships which might enforce abroad full respect to our ban her and interests

NAMES BACK BROKEN.
Doubtful If the Wrecked Vessel
 Can Ever be Raised.
THE EFFORT WOULD COST MILLIONS
The Vessels Keel Has Been Found to be Broken in Two, With the Ends Three Feet Apart Another Evil
 dence of Outside Force.

NEW YORK, March 3.-A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says; The Maine's back was broken. Latest dis coveries made by divers not only sup port the information printed by the Herald concerning the disclosures of paramount importance made by Ensign Powelson, but convince those in charge of the submarine investigation beyond all doubt that a mine rent the United States battleship asunder. The keel of the ship has been found in two pieces, the nearest ends of which are now separated by dis tance of from 2Js to feet. The sec tions are no longer lying in the straight kne, but show the effect of force executed from port to starboard
 It is evident from the discovery of the present condition of the keel that the section of the bottom found 20 feet from it's natural position was wrenched from the keel by the first explosion and driven upward. The keel itself was forced in the middle and it was broken in two and then collapsed in two sections. which fell in the position in which the divers found them yesterday. Reliable persons familiar with the results of high explosives, and with wrecks above and under water, say that the breaking of the keel as now disclosed could not possibly have been done by m inside explosion alone. In fact, this last discovery of the manner in which the Maine's back was hps, tnlr Al early disclosures, has convinced the men working about the wreck that further investigation as to the manner in which the ship was blown up is perfectly useless. and they consider the question solved beyond doubt.
 The court of inquiry will, of course, hear evidence of the wrenching apart of the keel. Divers and officers in charge will testify. Feeling among American naval officers in Ha- vana is that beyond the recov- cry of the dead remains in the wreck all useful work in connection with the Maine wreck has been done. Letters have been sent from here to representatives and senators in Wash ington warning them against voting for appropriations for raising the Maine, saying that the work would not only cost millions, bat would not add anything to the information regarding the nature of the explosion. A photo graph, which was itself evidence of the nature of the explosion, has been taken. It shows the Maine's dog standing on part of the wreckage still above the water. The fact is that the plate upon which the dog stands came from the keel of the ship, and was the lowest part of the tremendous mass of ma terial thrown upward and starboar6.
