DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
IL Was One OF the Causes that Led
TO War with Spain.

Chicago, July CA social to the Rec
ord from Canton, o., says:
A statement made by Judge William
r. Day president ot the Paris peace
commission, and former secretary OF
state, In his address here at the cele-
bratlon OF Independence Day, has been
construed by manv 10 mean that the
United States government held Spain
responsible for blowing up the Maine.
The following is the paragraph in
question:
In the realm OF international law
We have set a new ana high example TO
the nations OF the earth. Enduring, un-
Oh patience ceased 20 be a virtue. the
cries Of an oppressed people, observing
the obligations Of neutrality until or
ganized tyranny and oppression culmin-
ated in wanton treachery and the de-
struction Of an American vessel and an
American crew In a harbor where they
had a right 70 be secure, the American
nation demanded not vengeance or pc
cuniary indemnity but the termination
Of q sovereignty which made such a
condition possible. Aud then came a
hhAlNHdl hillHluSt NOT OF section against
section. but OF all the country"
When questioned today about the
paragraph, Judge Day said he meant In
his speech just what the words said.
Asked for a direct statement whether
the government ala not regard Spain as
the party responsible for the destruction
OF Che Maine, he repeated that the
words Of Wednesdays address meant
nothing more or less than they read
He gave the following additional state
ment on the question:
II do not think Il requires elabora-
ton. As was well known, the destruc-
ton Of the Maine was one of the causes
that led 20 the war. Undoubtedly while
anchored al a pier chosen by spanish
officials the Maine was blown W by the
explosion Of mine outside " the YES
sci Just who did this has never been
demonstrated, 80 FAR as 7 know. II
must have been by some one who knew
the location OF the mine and had access
10 the means by which Il was exploded"
Judge Day then quoted a statement
from The protocol.
