NO WAR.
A Personal Friend of the President Makes
the Assertion-Reports Greatly Exagger.

Personal Friend OF the President Makes
the Acknowledgements Greatly Exagger-
soed.
CLEVELAND, O., March 17.-Frank q.
Morris, fourth auditor of the treasury,
and q personal friend of President Nc
Kinley, who Is at present in Cleveland,
speaking Of the Cuban question, said:
"There will be no war. I find that
the reports have been greatly exagger-
ated all over the country.
The war. preparations are just what
the country needed and has needed for
20 years. Many of our ports have
been almost entirely defenseless. but
this is being remedied in a rapid man
ner now. In q short time we will be
comfortably fortified against any in
vasion from a foreign country.
Whatever the agency was the off,
cials at Washington are positive that
the Spanish government had nothing
at all to do with the blowing up of the
Maine. The president when the
time arrives, will demand an indem-
nifty and it will be paid. There will
be no war;"
Mr.. Morris department has charge
of the work of settling the claims of
those of the Maine disaster. 1--WE
have found on investigation that out
of 37s men who were on the boat, 63
were foreigners" said Mr. Morris,
land had given when they enlisted
foreigners as their nearest of kin.
Thirty-nine of those on the ship gave
no next of kin when they answered
the questions put to them on enlist
ment.
OF the 25S who were killed we have
succeeded in getting into correspond
encs with 1877 claimants. 1t will sur
prise you to know that less than ten
per cent. of this number had families
depending on them and many have no
direct heirs. The balance of the num-
Der we have not, up to this time, been
able to reach"
