IN SPANISH oFrlcIA1 CIRCLES.
View Held That Spain Will Not Provoke
 War-The Reason.


 Madrid, March 13.-The view held in official circles is that Spain will not provoke war, because if she did she would find herself isolated; but if America gives the provocation Spain will not be alone in the struggle The general opinion is that in the event of war Spain will not need to attack American territory. It will suffice her to pursue a war of privateering. As Americas commerce is seyen-fold greater than Spains Americas inter- ests would suffer most. War would be madness, benefting neither nation, and good sense, therefore, counsels peace. The Spanish torpedo squadron has not yet left Cadiz.
 Fl Imparcial says: "The government is momentarily expecting to receive the report of the Spanish commission, which, it is understood, will maintain that the Maine explosion was acciden- tai. Although the American commits sion may give another version of the explosion, the government will ener- getically uphold the Spanish report"

Plans for Placing Them in Portsmouth
 Harbor-Men at Work.
 Portsmouth, N. H., March 13.-Plans for the placing of submarine mines for Portsmouth harbor have been mapped out and a large force of men have been actively at work near the Qualifications all day. It is claimed however, that there mines will be of little use owing to the great depth of water in the riv- CT, there being over ten fathoms in the channel from the entrance at Newcas- tie to within a short distance of the navy yard. Hundreds of men have visited the navy yard during the past week to enlist but as there is no enlist ment bureau here many valuable men have been lost to the navy. A request will be forwarded at once to the navy department for the establishment of such a station for the enlistment of men from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont

NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY
ENSIGN POWELSON IS AGAIN PUT
 UNDER EXAMINATION,

It is Thought That the Court Will Finish
 Week-Distribution of Relief stores-A
 Crisis in Matanzas--Relief Work to be
 Pushed With All Possible Speed.
 Havana, March 13.-The court of in- quiry did a good deal of work to-day, examining Ensign Powelson and such divers of the wrecking company as have been Investigating the wreck. It is said that these divers have been re- leased from further examination. The court will have the services of naval divers, as heretofore. It is thought the court will close it's la.bors here during the presnt week.
 Everything indicates that the distrib- ution of relief stores sent from the United States will go forward hereafter more speedily and effectively. While much good has been done and no ques- tions have been raised, there is no doubt, room for improvement. Mat ters appeared to have reached crisis in Matanzas yesterday, where there was a want of proper preparation of certain relief agents appointed from Havana and where, in view of the large average of deaths, it was felt that greater dispatch should have been used in delivering supplies and in arranging to have them properly cooked, but this is now assured.
 General Lee and MT. Klopsh of Pres ident McKinley's committee will not only exercise close supervision, but will insist that the work of to-day shall not be put off until tomorrow. Every one is gratified to learn that famous Catholic priest, who will not allow his name to be published, will give all the aid in his power to Consul General Lee and MT. Klopsh, not only in HayanaS where the suffering is much alleviated, but outside where relief is most gener7 ally needed. The United States con+ suls at Matanzas and Sagua and the consular agents in other cities can be relied upon, it is believed, with the help of the Spanish committees, to push forward the good work with all due speed. The need of relief supplies Is practically undiminshed and there is no fear that the contributions here or to come will be improperly used.

ENGINES TO BE READY.
Orders Received in Atlanta to Have Them
 Steamed Up.


 Atlanta, Ga,, March 13.-Orders were received here tonight by the master mechanics of all roads entering this city to have engines steamed up and ready at moments notice. All round houses in the yards are lighted up to- night and full force of men are at work. A trip to the round houses of several of the roads did not elicit any information. Those in charge said the engines were merely fired up for emer- gency and that they always kept some ready, to be sent out in case of break down or putting out of extra trains. It was denied that any order had been received to have any extra number of engines ready for use, although the re- port was current around the shops that a movement of troops was expected early in the week. Nearly all of the officials of the southern roads are out of the city, it being understood that they are in Florida.
 Acting under instructions believed to have been received last night, the Western and Atlantic shops had on a full force to-day. Engines which have not been used for year and freight cars abandoned some time ago are be- ing overhauled and all rolling stock is being repaired. The master mechanic of this road denied positively that any such order had been received and said that the repairs were being made in the regular course of work. The con- ference of railroad men in Washington to-day lent color to the report that emergency work had been ordered on all railroads.

Sf6.O 900 TONS OF TOE.
The Maine Crop for Outside Trade-Fine
 Ice but Costly Hnryestinp


 Bangor, Me, March 13.-The Maine ice crop for trade outside of the state, and which is put up almost entirely on the Penobscot and Kennebec rivers, is estimated at about S16,0O0 tons. Of this amount 66O0o0 tons belongs to the Ken nebec regions and 156,OeO tons to the Penobscot. The harvest on the Penob- scot has just closed, and while not a great quantity was housed, the ice is ! of the very finest quality. Work began the last week in January and continued up to the last of this week. It has been an expensive harvest to the oper- ators owing to the frequent and heavy snow storms, which made much crap ing of the field necessary. A few of the Penobscot dealers did not harvest as much as they intended, as a long wait was required to get their ice fields properly frozen.

 Sta tes, Japan and England.
 London, March 13.-The Sunday Spe- cial publishes from it's Berlin corre- spondent an interview with United States Ambassador White on the atti- tude of the United States toward Spain and the Cuban situation. Ambassador White, according to this dispatch, de- clared the statement that the United States had entered into an alliance with England and Japan absolutely without foundation. "The United States" MT. White is reported to have said, will never bind herself by such an alliance. President McKinley's ad- ministration cannot act against the tradition which forbids all such com pIications in Americas international relations. Least of all will it do so for the sake of American interests in the far east. The fear of war with Spain must not be taken too seriously Characterizing as quite untrue" the statement that the United States had
