BALDWIN MUST EXPLAIN

Washington, April 14.-The war de-

of the reported statements of General
Frank D. Baldwin, commander of the
department of the Colorado, in dispar-
agement of the Filipinos and negroes
as soldiers and Secretary Root, today,
directed that formal inquiry be adj
dressed to Gen. Baldwin asking wheth-
er or not he had been correctly quoted.
Pending reply no action will be taken.
by the department.
Gen. Baldwin is fresh from the Phil
ippines and has just assumed COM
mand of the department of the Colo
RADIO. The alleged remarks which he
is reported to have made were to the
effect that one of his reasons for lik-
ing the Filipino as soldier was the
same that gave him, preference for
the negro in the same capacity-that
in fight he was not worried about his
safety. as it did not make any differ
ence whether he got killed or not.

sArTLEsH,P MAINE
Was Built on Honor and Dsfscts NO
Fault Of Constructors.

Washington, April 14.-Capt. Leutze
denied the report that six men Of the
battleship Maine had died during her
recent cruise. There were only two
deaths, that of Lieut.. Alonzo C. Baker
from typhoid fever and seaman from
pneumonia.
The Maine engaged In extensive tar
get practice while in the Caribbean sea
and some satisfactory records were
made.
At the request of the secretary OF the
navy. Admiral fBOwles, the chief con-
structor. has prepared the following
statement of the nature of the repairs
to be made to the Maine:
1.-The officers who have examined the
turrets of the Maine have found that
the damage done consists largely in the
loosening up and breaking Of fastenings
and rivets and in no respect due to gen.
eral structural weakness of the ship.
The supports under the 1oller paths
are of the usual construction, being
built of plates and angles Since the
date of the design Of the Maine. how
ever. the use of smokeless powder with
higher pressure guns has been adopted
and the recoils allowed have been
shortened; both Of these improvements
while desirable of themselves, have
greatly increased the strains on the
supporting structure, which, in actual
test Of firing, has proven inadequate.
Were it not for the great weight of
the revolving part of the turret,
amounting to over 400 tons, the fitting
Of the additional stiffening In the sup
ports which has been decided to be
necessary would not be very elaborate
work. but owing to the great superin-
'cumbent weight which must be sup
ported and the inaccessibility of the
parts, it is anticipated that the re-
pairs will take some little time. 4
1.-THE determinations of the decks in the
vicinity of certain 6-inch guns due to-
the same general cause, are much less
important and can be easily remedied. 4
1.-The chief constructor considers that
no blame can be attached to the con-
tractors for the Maine, as there was no
evidence whatever Of defective work.
