He seemed to speak mechanically.
There was no feeling in his voice, no
expression Of pain or of anger on his
face.
Captain Howard bent his head in ST.
lent agreement, and Captain and Mrs.
Kingsley walked slowly homeward side
by side.
The dawn was glimmering in the
east, the birds twittered in desultory
fashion, the dew was heavy on the trod
den grass, when Captain Kingsley and
Captain Howard met on the target
range.
"You brought your pistol?" said
Captain Kingsley.

Captain Howard, were shooting at a

The evening after the funeral Mrs.
Kingsley was sitting in her drawing
room when Captain Howard came in.
"Alice," he said, dreadful as this

She looked at him, but blankly as if

claim for hundreds Of millions u dol.

One Of the highest Spanish officials in
Cuha stated that SPANS answer 20 an
American demand for Maine indemnity
would surely he as indicated.
He reluctantly admitted that blank
refusal to nay for the battlcship would
not be backed by Europe, but he seemed
assured Of the fact that should Spain o.

the Maine II the United States would
pay sos, 200, 600 Tor Spanish loss through
Cuban iilihustering, Austria and Fmnco
would at least endoavor TO make the
matter one OF arbitration, and thus %
give to Spain the thing she has been
clamoring for the last three years, and
the only thing she has gained-time.
Should Spanish indemnity for the
Maine disaster become a question for an
international board, and should its de-.
cision be the point Of an Intervention,
either the Americans will have 10 feed

REGARDED AS HOSTILE

SPEEDY ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Washington, March 2l.-The navy
department developed important news
features today. They came With
Tapidity. The frst came definite infor-
nation 10 the department from one OF
our naval attaches aboard that the
Spanish torpedo feet had sailed from
the Canaries for Porto Rico. THIS move
has been watched by the navy depart
ment with intense interest and Is r.
carried 20 some extent as a hostile dem
unslration against this country. Inc
feet consists Of six torpedo boats aud
seven torpedo boat destrUyeFs ~ IN AL
constituting one Of the most Formidable
torpedo squadrons now ahoat
rs soon as the telcgTams making the
announcement were received they were
taken to the White House and laid be-
ore the president. A long conference
followed between the president, Seer
tary Long and Assistant Secretary Roo--
evelt n 20 the course this government
should adopt. So far as can b. learned
no demand has yet been made upon
Spain a. 20 hcr purpose In disruiching
hotilla al this iuncturc, nor is % known
what action, II any. will h. taken at
this time BY the United States either IN
protesting to Spain or intcrccptng the
fleet. There Is very decided scnti-
ment among naval oiiiccn, including
some Of the highest, in favor OF decisive
and immediate action. They say that
from a naval strategic view it would BE-
most unfortunate nc this time 10 have
this great torpedo tlotilla brought with
in easy rrach Of our squadron at Key
West. This. Il can b. stated. Is not
mere naval speculation, but has becn
given cogniznce, and has bccn urged
upon the president IL is due 10 the big
importance Of the movement that i'm

yised on the departure Of the torpedo
feet from the Canaries
Il is stated both no the White House
and at the war department, that the NJ
port Of the Maine court Of inquiry
would arrive late tonight The cx.
recitation Is that it will reach Washing

exists a to the course which will b. pur.

They Are taken rs Meaning That the

Washington, March 20 Tho remark
attributed to Admiral sicard at Key
West which was TO tho caect that the
case ~ the Maine Wa. perhaps the most
peculiar iu the history Of modern times,
Is interpreted here as clearly indicating
that the direct responsibility Of the ex.
plosion cannot De- placed. During the
progress Of tie investigation the law Of.
iicCrs OF tine government have boon Civ.
ing the legal side OF .he case their Gloss
attention, and the statement l. made
that the case Of the Maine h indeed
most peculiar The records, II Is said,
do not show that ever before in the in.
tercoursr OF nations has a vessel Of ono
power been destroyed IN the water Of
another without the cause OF the disas-
ter aud the responsibility for IL being
known beyond dispute by any other ma.
ton. II the court OF inquiry has found
as is generally believed, that the rcspon.
sibility FOR the loss OF the Maine cannot
