SPECIAL DESPATOHES TO THE EXAMINER,

THE STATES AND SPAIN.

oe

Comment of Spanish Press.

lnternational Investigation Proposed.

Maprip, March 26.—The tenor of com- ment in the Spanish press is that the Amer ican COMmissiOn of enquiry into the Maine disaster is afraid of an international in— vestigation. The general belief here is that the States does not consider the Maine question a sound basis for conflict and is seeking to provoke Spain by sending help nominally to ihe Reconcentrados, but realiy to help the rebels.

E! Imparcia! says the States are brutal- ly forcing Spain into a conflict.

It is believed that Spain will propose that the Maine disaster shall be referred to an international arbitration.

GREAT BRITAIN ANXIOUS,

eee

Russia’s Deal With Japan.

More Warships Geing East.

Loxpox, March 26.—The papers today publish anxious articles reproaching the government fer inaction in China and asking whether England has eurrendered to Ruseia.

Russia has notified China that Japan has withdrawn its opposition to Russian action as to the Lao Tong porte in consideration of Russia’s withdrawal from Corea.

Three of Ruesia’s largest battleships wi!! proceed shortly through the Bosphorus for Chinese waters.

GLADSTONE SLOWLY DYING.

All Hope Abandoned

The Grand Old Man Longs for Death.

Lospon, March 26.—Mr. Gladstone is dying of # cancerous growth involving the bone tissues back of the nasal passages.

An Cperation is impossible owing to his age and enfeebled condition. The only relief possible is the administration of opiates. The sufferer is expressing pitifal longings for death.

CAPITAL, |

Wasnivcron, March 24.—The last day

before the arrival of the report of the Maine court of inquiry was one of unex- ampled activity in all official quarters. came early that the Spanish torpedo flotilla bad eailed from the Can- aries for Porto Rico, and from this mom

ent the most energetic, warlike measures |

followed one another in cop- tant success On. The moment there was any suggestion against the move was not disclosed by either Judge Day or or Spanish minister, both of whom main- tained the strictest reticence regarding the conference and refused to speak cencerning it.

Following the flotilla announcement important news followed repeaedly. The first was this annonncement by Secre- tary Long, iudicating the placing ofa +quadren and fleet on a war footing :

‘Admiral Sicard has been granted leave very much to the regret ofthe navy department, and altogether on account of his bealth: Captain Sampsen has been made commander of the fleet at Key Weat; Captain Evans bas been ordered to take command of the Batileship Iowa.”

Although the announcement did not state, it soon became krown that Com- modore W, Schley was slated to command the “flying squadron.” This announce- men! was recoguized as of very unusual importance at this jancture’ Admiral Sicard has been in command of the flet at Key West through the critical period of the Maine disaster. Captain Sampson bas been in command of the lowa, but more recently has been conspi- enous before the public as president of the Maine court of inquiry. Captain Evaus is better known as “Fighting Bob.”

Tbe next important move was the inten- tion to create a joint committee from the war and navy department 20 as to tring them into harmonious action en al measures, Captain Barker, the naval aide of Secretary Long, has been designa'- ed to represent the pavy department io this plan of action. The representative of the war department bas not been named.

Loxpon, March 24,.—lt was reported in the lobby of the house of comn-ons; last evening that French had finally admitted the accuracy of the news ofthe French advance in Sokoto, West Central Africa, Jast month, which had heen formerly denied. It is understood that the admis- sion was accompanied by explanations and by an expression of regret,

WASHINGTON, March 24.— Lieut. Command r Marix and his naval compan~ ious, vearing the report of the Maine cour: of inquiry, reached Washington at 9.35 tc- ight, the train being exactly on time. Thecrowd wasso dense at the depot that the party left the train outside the shed and took carriages for the Ebbitt house, where the officers will spend the night. They were met at the station by an official of the navy department, who informed them that the secretary of the navy would not receive the report t —sight.

Wasuineron, March 24.—The president in conference with some of the house congressional leaders today, stated emphatically that he would avert war if possible and expressed bis hope that he could do so,

Lonvox, March 24.—The Pekin corres pondent of the Times says: “China has not y:t formally replied to the French d-mands. She is passively awai'ing furtoer French action. Li Lung Cuang ard Chang Yin Hun have been appointed to represent China at the forthcoming conference with M. Pavloff, the Russian Charge D’Affaires, who has _ received epecial powers. Both are credited with strong Russian sympatiies,but there is little

hope of obtaining auy practical statement !

of the original Russien demands. Last night (Monday) the emperor granted an nud ‘ence to al] the members of the Tsung- Li- Yamen at the summer palace.”

Toronto, March 23—A especial trom Ottawa tonight says J.S. William, man-~ aging editor of the Toronto Globe, will be appo nted to the vacant On‘ario senator- ehip and Mr. Yeo, member of the com- mons for East Prince to the v-cency of Prince Edward Island, represeating the upper honee. Both appointments will be made before this vote on the Yukon rail way b'll is taken.

Havana, March 24.—La‘Lucha, in an editorial under the caption of “ Expecta- tion in the World,” maintains that the Ameriean court of inquiry, owing to the short time it was here, could not gives acientific report on the Maine disaster “ American naval of- ficers,” save La Luncaa, “‘are not likely to decide against brother officers. The divers could not give expert testimony, owning to the fact that the machinery was imbedded four feet inthe mud. It is greatly to be regretted that more time and care were not given tothe preparations of a report for which the whole world waits, and which is likely to change the entire feel- ings of a part of the American pecple towards Spain and Cuba.”
