weeks. No appreciabls excitement At
tended her stay.
At 8 o'clock on the evening Of Feb. u
everything was reported secure and all

the popular mind In the United Ststss
turned to war.

nature Of the explosion. Every avail

Spanish Government was given oppor-
tunity for Simultaneous Investigation.
After twsnty-thres days OF coatiauous
