In the Senate.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ia discus
sion upon coast defenses was the in
teresting feature of the senate yester-
day. Many senators took the ground
that the appropriations should be for
the full amount Of the estimates by the
war department instead Of some four
millions less. Senators Perkins and
Hale said that it was the policy of the
appropriations committee to make an
annual expenditure of $4,000 900 a year
for the fortifications.
Senators Stewart Hawley, Chandler
and Lodge spoke in favor Of increases.
Senator Teller also advocated liberal
expenditures and during his remarks
made significant illusions to Cuba and
Hawaii. In the early part of the day
there was a discussion Of the Kansas
Pacific railroad sale. but no action was
taken
Senator Morrill, OF Vermont occupied
the entire time Of the executive session
with a speech opposing the ratification
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
There was more than usual interest in
the speech owing to the advanced age
Of the senator and to the fact that he
is the only Republican senator who
has so far spoken in opposition TO the
treaty. He read from manuscript and
received the careful attention of all SEN
ators present. Mr.. Morrilrs speech was
intended to show that the acquisition
of the Hawaiian islands would be
against both good policy and the ira
ditions of this country.

Admiral Belknap says Torpedo.

BOSTON, Feb, II. - Rear Admiral
George E. BelSnap, U. S. ~, retired,
was seen here. He stated that he was
inclined to think that the Maine was
blown up by a torpedo.
'I do not see," he said, "how an ex-
ploslon of the forward magazine could
have occurred. The keys of the maga-
zines are always kept in the custody
of the captain. All the ammunition is
carefully cased, mostly in the form Of
projectiles. and their explosion by them
selves Is next to impossible. If, as the
dispatches state. the whole bow of the
ship was blown Off. ii is apparent that
the explosion could not have been
caused by the boilers or the coal getting
heated do not see how it could have
occurred from the paintroom, as. every
precaution is taken TO prevent the col
lection Of explosive gases there, and II
such an explosion occurred. it would be
more likely to have caused a fire than
TO destroy the ship"
Rear Admiral Belknap said It was a
very significant thing that the Maine
should have blown up in that particular
harbor at this particular time. In the
absence OF information as to the cause
Of the explosion he thought that was
the most significant indication in the
whole matter
