SHOT AND SHELL FOR
 FORTS AND BATTERIES
Large Quantities of War Material Being Sent for the Defense of
 Pensacola Harbor.

PENSACOLA, Fla, March 20.-Pow- der. shot and shell continue to arrive here in large quantities for the forts and batteries defending the harbor Three of the eight big mortars for the new battery on Santa Rosa Island have also arrived and they will be mounted as quickly as possible. There is great activity at Fort Pickins. In addition to the six and eight inch rifle guns a fifteen-inch gun is being mounted in the fort. Captain J. w McMurray. commanding the two batteries of the Fourth Artillery at Fort Barrancas, has been promoted to be major of the Fifth Artillery. The work of deepening and widening the new channel on the bar is progressing steadily and the largest merchant steamships now pass through it without difficulty. It is expected that twentyeig feet of water will soon be obtained.

Formulating Note of Representation to Spain and Information for
 Congress.
Conclusions and Report of the Maine Court of In- quiry Will Be Promptly Followed by the Recognition of the Independence

the usual diplomatic channels. It Is the firm expectation of the administration that Spain in reply to the Presidents representation wiz forward the report of the Spanish Co..rt of Inquiry, which will find that the 4'essel was destroyed by an internal cause, due to negligence of one of the ofice:s or members of the crew. Then will come a diplomatic clash, the outcome. of which can hardly be anticipated.
 It is surnised that Spain will suggest arbitration, and i'll view of this possi- bility the authorities are already dis cussing how they will meet the propo- sition if it comes. Conservative mera- bers of the Cabinet will be inclined to recommend the adoption of such a course, but so much depends upon the temper and possible action of Congress that 1t is hard to say what the final decision will be on this point.
 AS previously stated in the Herald treated independently of the general Cuban question, but it will be consid- cred as a kindred subject in connection with future action looking to the ending of the war in Cuba Just at the present
  pulse of other foreign countries as to whether they would follow the action of the United States in recognizing the independence of Cuba in case that step should be taken.
 It is believed, if the President can receive the assurances of Great Britain and South American countries that they will join in such recognition, hot ha ont in f19i mediately. In this connection promi- nent member of the Cabinet said to me to-day:
 My judgment, from the tone of the British press. is that England and other European nations would, in the interest of humanity, if for no other motive, join the United States in bringing to an end the distress now prevailing in Cuba. In dealing with the Maine disaster this Government must be able to satisfy the world that the destruction of the ship was brought about through the agency of the Spanish Government before we can de- ages is a subject for arbitration, but there is nothing to arbitrate in the act of recognizing Cuban independence.
 AS mucn as we ueplOIe the leIIlple calamity which befell the Maine and her gallant crew, we must demonstrate beyond question that the Spanish Gov ernment is directly or indirectly re- sponsible. To my mind the great ques- tion to be met and met promptly, is whether the United States shall inter vene to put a stop to the cruel and de- vastating conflict that Is now going on in Cuba. As I said. I believe all civil ized nations will join the United States in such a humanitarian and Christian like act"

RELIEF FOR THE
 STARVING CUBANS
Money and Twenty-one Carloads of Supplies Sent From Missouri,
 Kansas and Oklahoma.

KANSAS CITY, arch 20.-A relief fund of $9O33 and twenty-one carloads of provisions and clothing collected in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma for the starving Cubans were forwarded south from Kansas City to-day. These relief measures are being carried out under the management of the Kansas City Star, and agents of the Star will aid in the distribution at Matanzas, under the direction of United States Consul Brice. This relief is being carried free on a special train over the Memphis road to Memphis, then over the Illinois Central to New Orleans The United States Government has granted the transpor- tation from New Orleans to Matanzas.
 The principal articles of food sent are wheat, flour, cornmeal, rice, potatoes, rolled oats, condensed milk and soup extracts. The contributions of clothing include great number of calico dresses for women and children, mostly of the Mother Hubbard pattern, made by various church sewing circles.

AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT
 OF EXTERNAL EXPLOSION.
Returning Captain Sigsbee to Active Duty.

HAVANA, via Herald-Call dispatch boat Triton to Key West, Fla, March 2O.-The first announcement on author ity that the Maine was destroyed by an external explosion, and that the Court of Inquiry so finds, has been re- ceived here. It comes in the form of secret instruction from Washington to Captain Sigsbee that he is to be re- turned to active duty. This announce ment sets all doubt aside, for the req son that any other finding than de- struction by means of force externally applied would mean a court-martial for Captain Sigsbee.
 No date has been set for the cap- tain's departure from Havana, but he understands that as soon as the demo- lition of the Maine proceeds a little further he will be called to Washing ton and his ship will technically go out of commission. As soon as proper ar engagements can be made and a crew of men and officers be gathered together he. will take charge of one of the additions to the new American navy. ful in his efforts to purchase the O'Hig- gins and San Martino, Captain Sigsbee will be given command of one of those fighting monsters, so his friends in Washington have been assured.
 To the superficial observer there has been little change in Havana during the past week. The local press, however, has assumed a more radical tone. The censor now permits the publication daily of infiammatory articles hereto fore carefully suppressed.
 More than all the causes for the in- creased surliness and hostility shown toward Americans is the undoubted fact that Spaniards here begin to be- lieve the Government at Washington is disposed to yield whenever Sagasta makes some vigorous protect This growing opiniQ1 is tEaced tQ the tnci-

WASHINGTON, March 2O-Presi- dent Mckinley did not attend church this morning as Is his custom, but in stead spent two hours or more in con- ference with several members of the Cabinet. Assistant Secretary Day called about 10:30 and remained until nearly noon. Secretary Long and Sec- retary Bliss were the other members present. They remained less than an hour.
 Commander Clover, in company with MT. Flint, who has been acting for the Government in the negotiations for the purchase of ships, also called, and were shown into the Presidents pri- vate office. The members of the Cabi- net on leaving the White House said that there was no special significance in the meeting this morning. The re- port of the Board of Inquiry had not been received, nor was it definitely known when it will reach here. It was

mmodore George Dewe

Commodore George Dewey, com manding the Asiatic squadron, is keep ing a sharp watch on the movements of Spanish officials in the Philippines. and he advises the department as soon aspossible of what they are doing in the line of putting ports in such condition as to resist offensive movements of his squadron, which is stationed at Hong kong, Goo miles away.
 The vessels comprising his squadron are the cruisers Olympia, Boston and Raleigh, and the gunboats Petrel and Concord. This squadron will be re- enforced within two weeks by the cruiser Baltimore, which left Honolulu on March Y for Hongkono With this force at his command 1t is believed by the department that Commodore Dewey will not have any difficulty in destroy ing the five Spanish gunboats which are in Philippine waters and reducing the Notifications of Manila and other points Naval preparations are being pushed with the utmost vigor by the Spanish authorities
 Information which has reached the naval attacne of the Government in Madrid is to the effect that Spain will reach the zenith of her naval strength by the 18th of May. By that time all her battleships and torpedo boats and tor pedo boat destroyers now under con struction will be finished. Her naval force in commission will therefore be increased within the next two months by the batt1e-ships Pelayo, Numancia and Vittoria. The Princesa de Asturias will not be ready for service for several months, although Spain is working night and day on her and pushing her completion in every way possible. It is known by officials that just as soon as Spain completes work On these vessels they will be placed in commis- sion and sent to the Canary Islands. where the torpedo boat fotilla IS an chored. This point is some 700 miles nearer to Cuba than $ C. /. and 1t will be naturally to Spain's interests to sta ton the fleet at this point.
 The plan of campaign which will be followed by this Government. as the Herald has stated, will be to intercept the fiotilla in case 1t should attempt to cross from the Canary Islands to Porto Rico unattended by fleet. and 1t will be an easy, task to destroy it in daytime

Women cannot too soon understand that it Is little less than crime to neglect the health of the organs to which are intrusted the perpetuation of a healthy, robust race of human beings. By neglect of these organs woman ruins her own health, de- stroys the happiness of her home, and fails in the performance of the most sublime duty that she owes to the world.

It Is feared by officials in favor of the report of the Rodgers board that the department will not be able to secure yachts which will be suitable for torpedo-boat de- stroyers, although 1t is expected that a number of seagoing tugs and small yachts will be acquired and converted into torpedo boats. The most pressing need of the navy to-day, however, ac- cording to the officials, Is torpedo-boat destroyers. and all their efforts are be- ing directed toward the requirement of this type of boat
