The Maine to Sail For
Cuba in a Few Days.
ON FRIENDLY MISSION.
Order Gives Great Satisfaction 10
Friends OF Cuba.
STATEMENTS MADE AT CAPITAL.

Washington, Jan. The Y. s. :. Maine
has been ordered to Havana. II is said at
the navy department. that no disturbing news
has been received from there, but that the
movement is rather in the line of a resump-
tion OF free intercourse OF our naval vessels
in Cuban waters, the: same as prevailed prior
to their withdrawal owing 10 the outbreak of
hostilitics.
The first intimation the members of the
senate committee on foreign relations had of
the orders 10 the Maine was given in the As
sociated Press bulletin 1hey received the
information with cvideot satisfaction. scns-
tor Frye said that the action was cmincnty
satisfactory To him. Senator Gcary said 1t
was very proper TO lave a warship in
Havana for the protection of.Amcrican inter
ests. Senator Morgan said that Germany had
shown the United States the way b. sending
her warships 10 Havana and was evidently
badgcring tins government in this matter.
Senator Foraker was particularly pleased TO
hear the news. He said he wished the Texas
and TIE other vessels of the squadron would
be ordered 20 follow the Maine.
Senator Cullom said: IL an glad TO hear
it, hope the Maine will bs followed 10y other
vessels"
SonatOf INller sstld he WOhlu ike 10 sec tine
harbor of Havana filed with American ships.
II was evident that the decision to send the
Maine 20 Havana for visit was not arrived
at hastily. For some time Iast administra-
tion officials ave boen of opinion that "A mis-
take was committed by the preceding admin
ist alton in the very beginning Of the Cuban
insurrection, in decio oing out Of excessive
caution and an overweenng regard for the
scnsiblitci OF the Spanish public to abandon
the practice which had been pursued 10y our
navy &c arta cnt in years Tast of sending our
warships al intervals on crniScs through the
West Indies that frequently included stops at
Havana. II wns not regarded rs consistent
with our I atioual pride that this practice

therefore the administration s-ro time
