THE COURTS FINDING.
Belief That It Will Be Favorable
to the Mine Theory.
Naval Omcers Agree That the Result
of the Boards Investigation VIII
He n Report That the Ex-
plosion Was External.

Havana, via Key West, Fla, March 3.
Without adding unnecessarily to the
food of surmises, conjecture and proph-
ecy concerning the finding of the court
of inquiry, II is fair to say that, as
matter OF fact, most OF the naval Off
GERS here and at Key West incline TO the
opinion that the court will find that the
disaster TO the Maine was caused by
the explosion of a floating submarine
mine under the port side of the ship,
forward. Opinions differ as to whether
such as wet and dry gun cotton, or or
binary powder. Opinions agree not only
as 10 the existence of mines in the har-
Dor. but also that this one was laid pur-
posely near the buoy where foreign yes
sells were directed TO moor and was
fired from an electric battery on shore.
II is believed barely possible that the
explosion OF the mine was the result
Of the carelessness or ignorance OF Span
ish officers in charge of the mine sta
ton keys when testing the circuit, but
the latter supposition is not felt TO be
probable. IL is further regarded as set
tied by the evidence before the court
that the port side of the hull forward
was completely blown TO pieces. and
that the only explosion on the Maine,
except Of isolated cases OF fixed ammu-
milton, was that of 1000 pounds of sa-
luting powder. stored forward and Of
which no trace can be found
These views are gathered from ofii-
GERS who talk with great reserve, and
only upon the assurance that their iden-
tity will never be revealed. The fact
remains that only the members OF the
court of inquiry know all the testimony
elected, and no one is authorized TO
make public matters in advance OF the
final adiudgment.
That any important testimony before
the court has found its way TO the pub
lie is very unlikely. Some of the wit
ncsses have told certain correspond
ents Of alleged testimony. but in every
case investigation has showed their
stories to be wildly improbable and
ccntroverted by known facts or else abb
solutely irrelevant. Some of the cor
respondents have tried TO extract i'm
formation from members of the court
or from naval witnesses by putting
what were deemed by the question:
ers clever hypothetical interrogatories
But the questioners were not experts
in naval architecture and the questioned
were. So the results were unsatisfac-
tory. Probably the court knew before
IL left Havana for Key West whether
the ten-inch magazine on the starboard
forward did or did not explode, but the
when they talk at all, contradict each
other.

The spanish Divers.

A good deal OF surprise was ex-
pressed by Americans here at learning
that the Spanish divers were To be per-
mitted TO make an examination of the
wreck of the Maine, especially as IL was
also said that American naval officers
would give such divers all consistent
facilities and would throw no obstacles
in the way of thorough submarine in
spection. Ii was not at first under
stood. as il came 20 be- later. that the
Spanish search was 10 be entirely indie
pendent and that while il was being
made the American investigation would
proceed under Capt. Sigsbee's supervi-
sion. As understood here, the Spanish
request made Immediately after the
disaster for n joint investigation was
promptly refused at Washington, but
after cabinet consultation. II was
agreed that the Spaniards had moral
and international right 10 discover the
cause OF the wreck for themselves il
possible Therefore, permission for an
independent examination was granted
on the ground. as understood here, that
II could not be refused 20 a friendly
power in her own harbor. That the per-
mission was not accorded until after the
court Of inquiry had finished its work
here and gone TO Key West is regarded
as significant. II opens wide field for
speculation. Some assert that the
court now has no objection 10 n Span
ish inquiry for one OF two reasons:
Either the court has sufficient evidence
already of accident or malce--evidence
that cannot be controverted by the
Spaniards--or after n diligent search,
the mystery remains as deep as ever
and the courtdoes not think the Spanish
will reach conclusion where the
Americans have failed

DAVIS AND M'KINLEY.

In connection with President McKin-
ley's recent peace oyertures in the South
attention has been directed 10 the fact
that soon after the war, in his last public
address. jefferson Davis urged the young
men Of the South to LAY aside all rancor,
all sectional feeling, and 10 work Tor
reunited country"
In commenting on this the Baltimore
News declares that Jefferson Davis did
as much as any other man to allay sec
tional animosity in the South, at the time
when the fire-eaters of the North were
waving the bloody shirt most frantical-
w." In the light of recent events the
people at the North are taking more
charitable view Of the Southern Con-
federacy and OF its heroes, and the time
will come when they will recognize the
fact that jefferson Davis was as noble
a hero and patriot as any. There was
time when we OF the South regarded
Abraham Lincoln as the personifcation
Of al that was evil Southern children
sang about him as ABE Lincoln, that
ugly old babboon." And they thought Of
him as a monster. Yet il is only little
while ago that an ex-Confederate soldier
and the editor of a representative South
ern newspaper. delivered lecture in the
city of Richmond. where jefferson Davis
sat as President of the Confederacy, and
paid a noble tribute to the memory of
Abraham Lincoln, and was applauded by
his representative Virginia audience
Time not only removes prejudice but II
clears the vision also, and this genera
ton has now gotten sufficiently far away
from the war TO look back at it and see
facts and men as they were and to Judge
them righteously.

plcion at least that the person who de-
signed this provision had In mind the

the Hawaiian bill is no less a person than
Senator Cullom, OF Illinois.
No wonder that the Northern Republic

The suffrage clause Of the bill drafted
10 provide a system of government for
Hawaii is Of peculiar interest just at this
time to the people Of the South. After
specifying the usual qualifications as 10
age. residence. registration, etc. and de-
claring that all taxes due the government
must have been paid in March preceding,
the bill provides this qualification: "Be
able understandingly to speak, read and
write the English or Hawaiian Ian
guage."
In that clause is embodied the sub
stance Of the famous understanding
clause OF the constitution OF South Car
DINA. Who is 10 Judge as 10 whether or
not the person who offers 10 vote can

Hawaiian languages "understandingly?'

IHE COMPLAINT OF THE DELIN-
OIfININ

Delegate j. c. Parker, Of Southampton
county when recently in Richmond took
h1p the cudgels in defence of the So
called '1and-grabbers law, and said
That the bill was not as bad nor as UNI
popular as had been made TO appear.
Hr Parker was a member of the House
COMMITTEE for Courts Of Justice which
drafted the bill and while ne does not
think that the law is perfect. he thinks
That It is a move in the right direc-
zion and has shown itself to be an eff
kective measure.
Mir. Parker thinks that the next Legis>
eature will amend the law in some par
aiculars, but agrees with The Times that
Il will not be repealed. He also agrees
with The Times in the opinion that most
of the trouble now experienced about
Che delinquent laws will be cleared up,
Us ne expresses it, before the next Leg
tslature meets, ana with the law per-
Sected our system Of collections will be
greatly improved for the future
The fact of the business is that we
have only heard from those who have
Seen more or less affected by this law
namely. the delinQuents and their friends
Naturally they have denounced it, but

brings 10 light some particular case
wherein the law has worked a hard

Attention has been more than once call

they have naturally resented the pay
ment of the s. fee 90 the Gland grabbers.'
THAT docs seem a hard case. yet every
man who purchases a piece Of property
should take the trouble 20 inform himself
ne to any and an claims against H. and

fact that their property was delinquent
a. the time OF its purchase it is their
nwn fault. However. as we have pointed
nut these cases are few The law was
hassed TO meet an emergency. The
state had found each year a large delin-
nuent list. and under the old law it was
