Key West, March 25.—The report of the court of inquiry into the Maine dis- aster left here yesterday In the cus tody of Lieutenant Commander Marix, judge advocate. If the train tions are made he will arrive In Wash- ington with the document tomorrow night. Whether the report meet with the approval of the navy depart ment is a matter of conjectuure. Even Rear Admiral Sicard declines to proph- esy.

THE CABINET UNITED. Substantial Unanimity on the Maine Disaster and the Cuban Question, Washington, March 23.-Aside from the visit of survivors of the Maine disaster to the president last Saturday there was nothing new In the situation beyond a report from Havana that General Pando, of the Spanish army in Cuba, was endeavoring to secure a conference with the Insurgent leaders looking to a cessation of hostilities by allowing to the island the same method of self government allowed to Canada by Great Britain, retaining only Span ish suzerainty. This Hberal offer is proposed by the autonomists, but the report that It was authorized by the Spanish government Is not verified, Bhould the conference take place, which is unlikely, the Insurgents would doubtless reject the dffer, On Bunday President McKiniey did not attend church, as Is his custom, but spent several hours in consulta tiom with cabinet ministers and others, Among those summoned was Charles BK.

The army and navy preparations are continuing without Interruption, al- though they have now become 80 regular as to lapse into routine on a gigantic scale.
