REPORT OF THE SPANISH COURT
 IS MADE PUBLIC
In Direct Contradiction to the Findings of the American Na-
 val Officers on the Maine.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-A full synopsis of the report of the Spanish naval commission which in vestigated the destruction of the battleship Maine is here given by the Associated Press. It is taken from copy of the original report, which is now on it's way here from Havana, the synopsis being cabled in the meantime, and to-day placed in the hands of this Government. The conclusions are directly opposite to those in the report of the Court of Inquiry submitted to Congress to- day. The synopsis is as follows:
 "The report contains declarations made by ocular witnesses and ex- perts. From these statements it de- duces and proves the absence of all those attendant circumstances which are invariably present on the occa- sion of the explosion of torpedo.
 "The evidence of witnesses com paratively close to the Maine at the moment is to the effect that only one explosion occurred; that no col umn of water was thrown into the air; that no shock to the side of the nearest vessel was felt, nor on land was any vibration noticed, and that no dead fish were found.
 "The evidence of the senior pilot of the harbor states that there is abundance of fish in the harbor, and this is corroborated by other wit nesses. The assistant engineer of works states that after explosions made during the execution of works in the harbor he has always found dead fish.
 ''The divers were unable to ex- anime the bottom of the Maine, which was buried in the mud, but careful examination of the sides of the vessel, the rents and breaks, which all point outward, shows with out doubt that the explosion was from the inside.
 "A minute examination of the bottom of the harbor around the ves- sel shows absolutely no sign of the action of a torpedo and the fiscal | Gudge-advocate) of the commission can find no precedent for the explo- sion of the storage magazine of the vessel by torpedo.
 "The report makes clear that ow- ing to the special nature of the pro- ceedings followed and the absolute respect shown for the extraterritor- ialidad of the Maine, the commission has been prevented from making such an examination of the inside of the vessel as would determine even the

CONGRESS HAS WON ITS FIRST
 GREAT VICTORY
That Is the Result of the Days Skirmish Between the Legis-
 ldtiVe and the Executive.

NEW YORK, March 28.-Far more serious than any one anticipated has the Cuban-Spanish situation grown to- day. Far more threatening beneath the surface than on the surface is the aspect of anairs in Washington, Mad rid and Havana, though on the surface it is bad enough to make men gravely apprehensive of the developments of the next twenty-four hours.
 This change has come since noon to- ? day, when President Mckinley sent to Congress his message on the destruc~ ton of the Maine. The plan of the President to have the Maine question laid away in committee while diplomacy dealt with the disaster succeeded be- void the expectations of the admins tration. Not dissenting voice was raised. Men of all shades of opinion and political faith acquiesced
 But there the success of the Presi- dents plan for easing the Cuban fric- tion. so far as he has any plan, halted The reception given the President s message was, perhaps, ominous. In Derfect silence 1t was received by the crowded galleries in both houses Not a hand was clapped, not handkerchief was futtered In absolute silence was ;t accepted by the members of the Sen ate.
 The applause on the floor of the House seemed to be limited to about one man in every ten.
 Ii was when the message came to be discussed that the popular verdict was rendered. Only the staunch and conf dential friends of the administration gave it unstinted praise. Compared with inc men who gave outspoken opinions against 1t, these were few. Instead of going forth, as they did when the S5o,- .ooo. 900 bill was passed, and calling Nc Kinley blessed. the Washington popu- lace in and out of Congress gave vent to dissatisfaction.
 Not far advanced was the afternoon when it became apparent that Congress was disappointed in the message and that immediate and aggressive opposi- ton to his plan for peacefully feeding the reconcentrados had sprung into life The jingoes became rampant. The war spirit burst forth. The feel ings of the men who voted money for relief as well as for war preparations. so long restrained, took the slant 1n the direction of blood and gunpowder. jingo Senators and jingo Representa- tives declared that the President had had his say on the Maine matter and Congress had restrained from declaring war. but 1t was now time for him to
The San Francisco call., 1898-03-29

 intervene and end the war in Cuba. They took the ground that his talk about feeding or fighting was all right and brave enough, but what they wanted
 were assurances that he would fight first and feed afterwards. Many mem bers of both houses declared that they would not vote one dollar for relief in Cuba to be expended by the President unless it was specified in the bill that the supplies were to be sent to Cuba i'll warships and distributed by the army and navy. Their object in this is to force the President to change his plan and adopt armed intervention, or else have him send the relief in such way

 A CRAVE SITUATION
Report of the Maine Court of Inquiry Made Public With a Message Too
 Pleasin9 to Premier SagaSta.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Gall Otf1ce, RlggS House,
 Washington, D. C., March 28.
 The Republicans of the House are in open revolt and the indiea- tions are that when the resolution appropriating $500, GOO for the re- lief of the Cubans is reported the recalcitrants will seek to amend it by tacking on rider recognizing the belligerent rights of the Cubans. They may even go so far as to attempt recognition of the independence of Cuba.
 It is the general expectation that the resolution will not be consid- cred until Wednesday, although Repres entative Hopkins of Illinois, leader of the rebellious Repub- licans in the House, said to the Call correspondent tonight that the explosion might take place to- morrow.
 Hopkins was at one time prom inently mentioned as a candidate to oppose Reed for the Speaker ship, and has since then been re- garded as the leader of those Re- publicans who are inclined to rebel against Reeds dictatori ial and auto cratic rulings. Therefore the in- terview with MT. Hopkins tonight, after his talk with a number of leading Republicans, is significant.
 "There'S mine under the House chamber" said he, "and as view the situation all we have to do is to touch the button and Car Reeds arbitrary policy will be blown to atoms. The ex- pectation is that on tomorrow or Wednesday the Committee on Rules will bring in a resolution for

HYPNOTISM BY MACHINERY,
Electrical ApparGtas That VIII Even
Control the Insane.

Electrical ADDa r2ts:S That VIII Even
Control the Insane.
The newest thing in hypnotism is the
hypnotic machine. It's inventor says
that by means Of the hypnotic machine
90 per cent. Of all persons tested can be
put in the trance state. He is prepared
TO do with the hypnotic machine what
has been declared possible-hypno-
tise the insane.
The instrument is recent invention
of DR.. Carleton Simon, the foremost
lypnotist of New York. DR.. Simon's
hypnotic machine is an electrical ap-
paratus mounted upon a small box
within which there are small batteries.
Al oblong plate made up of small mir
rors of various shapes and set at differ
ent angles is the distinctive feature of
the invention. The plate is eight inches
in length by two wide, and makes 1000
revolutions in a minute.
The effect Of watching the revolving
plate is that the sight is first dazzled,
then fascinated. In two minutes the
mind is concentrated upon the center
of the revolving plate. In eight to ten
minutes the subject is in the passive
state known as hypnotic sleep. and the
mind is open to the suggestions of the
hypnotist at the machine, and the
muscles are obedient to his voice.

RECOGNIZE FRENCH BULLDOGS.
New York Society OF the Upper Strait
um Adopts the Ugly Canine.

New York Society OF the Upper Strait
um Adopts the Ugly Canine.
The French bulldog, after waiting for
years for the social recognition in this
country that it has long enjoyed
abroad, is at last to be taken up by New
York society. The French Bulldog club
held an exhibit at the WaIdorf-Astoria
Saturday, which formally introduced
these ugly little CANNES into the most
exclusive society.
Each dog attending was accompanied
by it's maid or groom, and no trouble or
expense was spared to provide the dogs
with every luxury. The sun parlor of
the Astoria, where the dogs received,
was deliberately decorated. Only in
vited guests were admitted. There were
in all some 80 exhibits, which was about
the entire population of French bull
dogs at present in this country. Among
the exhibitors were James L. Kerno-
chan, Foxhall Keene, Edward D. Faulk-
rer, Whitney Warren, Alfred Bowdeth,
Of Boston, and the officers Of the French
Bulldog club-Walter W. Watrous,
president; G. N. Phelps, vice president;
Richard Rowland Hunt, treasurer, and
John r. Buchanan, secretary.
