Washington, May 2S.-The Titanic

the theme Of speech, report and
proposed legislation in the senate to
day
Senator william, Alden Smith OF
Michigan, submitted the report Of the
investigation by the senate com
merce committee, a feature of which
was the condemnation of the captain
of the steamer Californian for not
going to the aid of the sinking YES.
sci; delivered speech in which he
personally took much stronger
ground in reviewing the disaster and
introduced measures designed to
safeguard life in ocean traffic.
One Of the most important recon-
mendations was for stricter inspec-
tion of vessels by the federal steam
boat inspection service and the meet
ing Of all requirements Of American
navigation laws by every vessel clear
ing from an American port.
It was one Of the noteworthy days
of the present session of congress.
Almost all of the senators were in
their seats. The galleries were
crowded. The senate passed Joint
resolution extending the thanks of
congress and appropriating 81 900 for
a medal to Captain Arthur H. Ros-
tron of the Carpathia, and also
vote Of thanks to the Carpathias
crew.
The resolution was introduced by
Senator Smith. It was adopted i'm
mediateIy. Senator Rayner of Mary
land, in speech arraigned Ameri-
can navigation laws and drew les
sons from the accident.
Greater part for the blame for the
Titanic disaster is chargeable direct
ly to the failure of the dead CAPTAIN
Smith to heed repeated warnings of
icebergs ahead, but responsibility for
unnecessary loss of life must be shared
by Captain Lord Of the steamship
Californian. through his disregard Of
distress signals This is the finding
of the senate committee which inves-
tigated the sinking Of the Titanic. as
prepared in a comprehensive speech
delivered by William Alden Smith, of
Michigan, chairman of the committee.
Senator Smith declared that respon-
sbility also rests upon the British
board of trade, Ito whose laxity of
regulation, and hasty inspection, the
world is largely indebted for the aw-
ful fatality" In denouncing Captain
Lord, Of the Californian, the senator
said the Titanic'sfdistress signals were
plainly seen from the deck of his YES
sci short distance away.
America viii leave to England the
chastisement of those guilty, asserted
the senator, and he quoted British law
to show that Captain Lord might be
prosecuted for misdemeanor.

Washington, May 2S.- The United
States is prepared to send marines
and bluejackets to the interior Of Cuba
for the protection Of American and
foreign interests, where necessary
and where no Cuban forces are avail
able for that purpose. even though
President Gomez should object to such
course.
It emphatically is held at the state
department that American marine and
navy officers are expected to take
such measures as become necessary
to protect American and foreign plan
tations No foreign government has
yet communicated with the United
States on the subject of protection of
its interests and it is understood this
great nation aims to make such action
unnecessary.
Cuba was officially notified as ear

pose Of the Un1 d States to concen-

The question Of whether American

specifically at the state department
today as follows
IF commander of an American

Officials here believe President Co

lore he received notice of the approach

West. President Gomez's public pro-
Test is taken here to have been a
move calculated to assure the Cuban

Last Sunday good sized crowd
of fans turned out to see the White
fish team score its first victory OF
the season by defeating Eureka.
Inasmuch as Eureka had defeated
Rexford the previous Sunday by \
score of 5 to it was expected
that they would put up a strong
game, but when the local boys ran
in five scores in the first inning, il
was easy to predict who the winners
would be.
Archie Coins had them puzzled
throughout the entire game with his
curves, and received excellent sup
port from the rest of the team.
With this as a starter, and con
sidering the form which the boyS
showed, it is safe to say that when
the season closes, Whitefish will be
leading all the other teams in this
part of the state.
Next Sunday the Whitefish team
will cross bats with Columbia Falh
on the local grounds.
The following scores are the re-
suit OF the game:
