Washington. March 1.-THE semi.
official statement given out at Madrid
advancing the government view that
demand for indemnity based on
Spanish responsibility for thu Maine
explosion would be Indignantly repealed
by Spain, mattered much in official
circles. There has been little doubt
for some time that Spain was prepar-
ing for the contingency of an adverse
report by the American court Of IN
Quiry and to that end was preparing
to anticipate aud Offset 1t by making
clear the governments policy of

like large sentry box, loop holed for
musketry and with guard OF from two TO
ten soldiers in each. The purpose OF these
trochas Is to keep the reconcentrados in a.
well as to keep the insurgents out. From
all the surrounding country the people
have been driven into these fortified towns
and held there to subsist as they can. They
are virtually prison yards and not unlike

walls are not SO high and strong, but they
suffice where every point Is in range OF

Washington. March 17.-sena.or Proctor

Washington. March 17.-Senator Proctor
(vt) who returned last Sunday for an
extended trip to and through the island
Of Cuba. this afternoon made statement
to the senate of his observations on the
island. From many points the state
ment was remarkable. 1t had evidently
been most carefully prepared. Every eie-
ment of sensationalsm had been studiously
eliminated from 1t, and, except so far as
the facts rendered were sensational, II
hore not the slightest evidence Of az
effort to arouse the public mind. already
excited over the conditions in Cuba.
Senator Proctor's statement is a clear.
concise and accurate demonstration OF the
problem. Calm and dispassionate to q
notable degree. the utterances OF the SEN
ator aroused breathless interest. Every
rerson within the sound of his voice was
convinced that he was putting his obser-
vations into careful terms, lest he might
subject himself to the criticism OF being
emotional. One of the best characterize
tions of the statement was made by SEN
ator Frye Of Maine few minutes after Its
delivery.
1T u.s." he said, lust as II Proctor had
held up his right hand and sworn to It,"
| That was the impression the statement
made upon the senate. Every senator In
the capitol was In his seat, and the word
having bsen passed through the corridors
that Mr.. Proctor was about to make q
statement to the country concerning his
observations in Cuba, people flocked into
the galleries until they were packed SEN
ator Proctor was accorded the closest at :
tention throughout his speech and at the
lcorclusion. willis there was no demonstra-
ton, he was cordially congratulated by
many Of his colleagues.

script. speaking rapidly but clearly The

The Island of PaIavvan.
Washington Special.

PaIawan, the long island which lies at the
gate of the East Indies, and which our
naval experts have selected for the Asatic
naval station of the United States, is the
object of much interest just now because
some of the Europeans contend that the
Spaniards have no title to it. Although
some three hundred miles long II is very
narrow. At some places it is only five miles
between the two coasts 1t is covered with
a magnificent forest of great value. Like
most of the Philippines it has central
mountain chain, extending in the direction
Of its greatest length. The only civilized
settlement is a penal colony at Puerto Prin-
ccssa, the capital with a military garrison.
There is a fine harbor, and the town is
surrounded by a fertile country. Three
tribes of natives inhabit Palawan. The
Moros who are Mohammedans; the Pat
tacks. who roam in the north. and the Tag
banaus. who occupy the central portion near
the civilized elements. are said to be a very
intelligent and superior class of MalayS.
They practice agriculture so far as neces-
sary and have houses made of bamboo
poles and palm leaves. But most of their
time is spent in the forest hunting, fishing
and searching for wild honey Each tribe
has local government. presided over by a
petty magistrate. and the office is heredi-
tary The affairs of each community are
directed by a council Of elders, who adj
minister justice according to their own
ideas The Spaniards have never attempted
to civilize them. although a few missions
have been established by the priests.
