A THEATRICAL DEMONSTRATION.

Report-will First BE Made TO

WASHINGTON, March A-The report
OF the Naval Board OF Inquiry into the
Maine disaster was received In Washing
ton at s:s5 tonight. The four naval OIL
GERS who have guarded It since It's de-
parture from Key West we're hustled at
once into a carriage by an attaohe OF the
Navy Department and driven to the Eb-
bit House.
THE PARTY.
The party consisted OF Lieutenant-Com-
mander Mark, Lieutenant John Hood
Lieutenant Carl Jungen. Past Assistant
Engineer Bowers. A. T. Mark. nephew
Of The Judge Advocate. and Ship Carpen-
ter Helms. OF the Names ili-fated crew.
There was an immense crowd waiting
at the depot when the train pulled In.
The naval contingent, avoided the crush
Of citizens by alighting at the upper end
Of the platform and going out across the
tracks. The party was met by Lieutenant
Ward, OF the Navy Department who was
the soc representative OF Secretary Long
He informed Lieutenant Commander Ma
rix that the Secretary would not receive
the report tonight
Lieutenant Hood carried the bulky doc
ument In white canvass bag slung un-
Ter his arm. II must have weighed ten
or twenty pounds, without It's carrying
case.
ALL ARMED.
That the whole party carrying the re-
port was armed was demonstrated In a
rather theatrical way just as they were
about to get into the carriage. Some one
ran against the end Of the mysterious
canvass bag. in which the report was
concealed. Quick as fash Lieutenant
Hoods hand went back 10 his hip and
Lieutenant Jungen laid his hand on the
butt OF n revolver that was sticking from
his side pocket.
The movements were sufficient 10 pre-
vent further jostling.
The report, in due process OF law. ought
FIRST TO be delivered 10 the Secretary Of
the Navy and this, according to all prece-
dents. will be at the Navy Department.
Il will then be submitted to President
Mckinley. on whose decision It's future
