COURT OF INQUIRY CONTINUES WORK.
Sampson Says It Is Impossible to Tell When
 Report Will Be Ready.
(By Associated Press.A

Key West, March 1s.-The court of in- quiry Is diligently continuing it's sessions on board the battleship Iowa and judging from statements made by members, it is quite problematical how many more days will pass before the public learns it's con- clusions.
 By the courtesy of Rear Admiral Sicard. the correspondent of the Associated Press was today enabled to escape the rieor of the rule forbidding correspondents to go on board warships and was the first civil ian to interview the members of the court of inquiry since they secreted themselves on Wednesday on the Iowa.
 Captain Sampson received the correspon- dent on the poop of the splendid ship In the admirals cabin below were Captain Chadwick, Lieutenant Commander Potter and Judge Advocate Mark. They had been in session since 10 o'clock this morning with the ships writer acting as clerk
 "The court is still hard at work" Captain Sampson said. q have just left my con- ferees It Is absolutely impossible to say when our report will be ready If I sur missed the date and you reported it, I am afraid something might occur that would defeat the execution and only serve to dis appoint the anxious public.
 Washington Will Make It
 "When the report is ready, it will not be for to make the announcement. Washington, I presume. will do that"
 If a preliminary report has been sent to
 
 knew nothing of It. In the course of the afternoon while the court continued in session without once coming out of the cabin large quantities of ammupdtion was taken on board. The same thing took place on board the New York. Both ships are now better supplied with ammunition than they have been at any time before.
 Unusual precautions are ob- served on the New York and the Iowa, double harbor watches being enforced. Every craft that passes on its way into the harbor is submitted to the closest scrutiny of search lights. Both vessels are ready to pull out at IS minutes notice, and attention is given to the instruc- ton of the sailors in small arms and firing practice.

 BY HARRY s. FULTON.

Havana, March 1S.-The banquet at
 Wednesday night was fraught with
 deep significance which did not de-
 velop until today. The Austrian
 cruiser Donau sent all her officers except a couple of youngsters. They were the guests of honor along with the principal officers of the Vizcaya 1 and the Oquendo. Blanco himself proposed the toast to the Emperor Franz Josef and the Austrian navy. Then occurred the startling event of the evening. Captain Kelwig, of the 1 Donau, rose, gleaming with the gold lace and decorations of his rank, said: "'I propose the health and long life of her majesty, the queen regent of Spain, and of her august son, Alfonso XIII, king of Spain." The Spaniards rose, glass in hand. Then the Aus trian spake these words:
 Austria can never forget Maxlmil- ian and his fate. As heretofore, Aus tria stands beside Spain." The bril- liantly lighted banquet room was a ! scene of wild tumult in an instant. The joyous cheers of the emotional Spanish officers could be heard far beyond the guard lines. which held { the approaches to the palace fnvioate of nnivited guests for block on each side There were cries: "To the memory of Maximilian; neither Aus tria nor Spain can forget his fate, and will stand together against those whose unjustified threats of interven- tion brought about his cruel and un- timely end" Since then every Austrian who has come ashore has been the centre of a group of Spanish officers, who pay him almost royal court.

1t is claimed that in dancing back he
stepped back too far, fell backward on the
porch with such force as to kill him,

friends think that it being dark outside
on the porch, that some one hit him a
blow while in the door, as it looks impos-
