To the Editor of The Republican. Sir:
 The following special dispatch is
 taken from the Los Angeles Times oi

 Let me make a prophecy remarked Justice Harlan. after he had recovered his breath. Some day a real man from the west-from the plains-from that section of the country where men do not permit other men to trifle with their feelings-will come to Washing ton. He will walk down Pennsylvania avenue, just as you and l are walking As he starts to cross the street-an au- tomobile will come bowling along at break-neck speed. and come within an inch of taking off a leg That particu- lar man from the west will pull his shooting iron from his pocket and fill the reckless driver full of holes and. judge though l am, I believe the man from the west will get off scot free"

THE MYSTERY
OF THE MAINE
Board Which Investigated
Wreck Finds Explosion
Was From Without

Washington. Dec. s.-The United
States battleship Maine, sunk in Ha.
vana harbor. February, 1898. by an
explosion, was blown up from the out.
side. This was announced today by
the naval board which has been ex.
amining the wreck. The finding con.
firms the report of the original inves.
ination Of the wreck shortly after the
disaster.
The statement given out by the navy
department is brief. Secretary Meyer
does not believe it necessary to issue
any extended explanation Of the
Boards conclusions, beyond the fiat
statement that an exterior explosion
WAS responsible for the loss of the
warship and the lives of many men
The statement follows:
1.-THE injuries to. the bottom of the
Maine were caused by the explosion OF

a large quantity of black powder. The

plosions resulted in the destruction OF

Secretary Meyer announced that
there might be a further statement on
the report Of the hoard after it had
been considered by the president. One
member Of the board was Of the opin-
ion that the report never would he

the confidential archives of the navy

that mine and not dirigihle torpedo

THE PASSPORT
TROUBLE REMAINS
President and Cabinet Un-
able to Find Satisfactory
Solution of Problem

Washington. Dec. 9.-For two hours
Yesterday President Taft and his ca
met wrestled with the Russian PASS
port question and at the conclusion of
the session 1t was acknowledged that
a solution that would satisfy the
American Jews and at the same time
not emharrass either the United States
or Russia still was undiscovered
Practically no other topic of import
ance was discussed.
While the negotiations Of American
Ambassador Guild at st. Petersburg
have not been abandoned II looked ms
II there could be but one outcome
the abrogation Of the treaty of 1892
with Russia. So far Ambassador
Guild was said to have met with little
satisfaction in the proposal that the
regulations imposed on visiting Ameri-
can Jews be modified.
The pressure to bring about modi.
fcation or abrogation of the treaty
has been great but any action taken
will he only after the closest scrutiny
to prevent International embarrass-
ment for the United States in its own
problem Of prohibiting the admission
Of Chinese.
It was said today that President
Taft's expected communication to
congress on the passport question
mlgnt DC delayed TOT some time. In
the meantime there will he more calyI
met conferences and a continuance of
negotiations In st. Petersburg and
probably agitation in congress. It is
possible that congress might approve
the abrogation of the treaty and while
many officials believe this also would
cause embarrassment. 1t might prove
the only solution.
Talk Of a new treaty with Russia ia
replace that Of 1882 is not taken seri.
ously among cabinet members In
Washington. 1t was said on good au.
thority today that negotiations lookins
to another treaty had not proceeded
far enough to warrant any hope that
solution could be reached in this
way.
