A WARLIKE SPANISH MOVE I
Rear Admiral Slcard KetlTod-Captaln
Sampson Now Commands tlio rieot
at Key West and "Fichtlng Bob"
Evans Becomes Commander
of the Battleship Iowa.
Washington, March 2G. The report
of tho naval board of Inquiry Into the
Maine disaster was received In Wash
ington last night. The four naval of
ficers who have guarded It with watch
and watch since Its departure from
Key West were hustled at once Into a
carrlaee by an attache of tho navy
department and driven to the Ebbltt
House, where they tried to catch a
little much needed sleep and at the
same time withstand the crowd of
newspaper men who thronsred the
lobby In hopes of some stray bit of
Information which had escaped tho
scrutiny of numerous correspondents
along the route. The party consisted
of Lieutenant Commander Marlx, Lieu
tenant John Hood. Lieutenant Carl
Jungen, Passed Assistant Engineer
Bowers, A. T. Mailx, a nephew of tho
judge advocate, and Ship Carpenter
Helms, of tho Maine's 111 fated crew.
There wa an Immense crowd wait
ing at the depot when the train pulled
in. The naval contingent was In the
"FIGHTING BOB" EVANS.
last sleeper on the train and deftly
avoided the crush of citizens by alight
ing at the upper end of the platform
and going across the tracks. All were
thoroughly tired, and Commander
Marlx was asleep In the corner of the
seat when the train pulled In.
The party was met at the steps of tho
car by Cadet Ward, of the navy de
partment, who was the sole repre
sentative of Secretary Long. He In
formed Commander Marlx that the
secretary would not receive the report
at once, and escorted the party to the
hack, stand. Lieutenant Hood, as the
most muscular member of the party,
carried the bulky document In a white
canvass bag slung under his arm. It
must have weighed 10 or 20 pounds.
without Its carrying case.-and portend
ed endless reams of complicated tes
timony to be digested by the admin
istration before the next istep In the
progress of the Maine Incident can be
taken.
That tho whole party carrying the
report was armed was demonstrated
In a rather theatrical way just as they
wero about to get Into the carriages.
Tho crowd closed around tha party and
Jostled them considerably. Some one
rnn against the ond of the bag fn which
the report was concealed. Quick as a
flash Lieutenant Hood's hand wont
back to his hip, and Lieutenant Jun
gen laid his hand on the butt of a
revolver that was sticking from I1I3
side pocket. Tho movements .were
sufficient to prevent further Jostling.
On being driven to tho Ebbltt Housa
the whole party retired, first having
ordered some light refreshments to
their rooms.
Young Marlx was deputed as a sort
of a press committee, and met all In
quirers with the stereotyped reply,
"I don't know," to every question. It
may be said, however, that the report
in due process of lav must first bo
delivered to the secretary of the navy.
It will then be submitted to President
McKlnley, upon whose decision Us
future migrations will depend.
Tho last day boforo the arrival of the
report was one of unexampled activ
ity Jn all omcial quarters. Advices
came early that the Spanish torpedo
fleet had sailed from the Canaries for
Porto Itlco, and from this moment
the most energetic warlike measures
followed one another In constant suc
cession. The movement of this fleet
had been watched with the keenest
interest, as It was felt suro to involvu
serious possibilities which might compel
the United States government to pro
test against the movement as of a hos
tile character.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
crucial dispatch announcing the sailing
of the fleet thr fact was made known
to tho president, and an earnest con
ference was held between him and
Secretary Long and Assistant Secre
tary ItooBtvent. The seriousness of the
movement was fully considered, and
the president was advised that naval
strategists regarded it as essential that
this torpedo Ueet should not be al
lowed to reach western waters. What,
if any, conclusion was reached Is not
known. Later In the day the Spanish
minister, Senor Polo de Bernabe, called
at the stnto department and soent
some time with Judge Day, It was
naturally Inferred that the approach
of the Spanish flotilla was one of the
subjects referred to. Whether, how
ever, there was any suggestion against
tho move was not disclosed by either
Judge Day or the Spanish minister.
Following tho flotilla announcement
Jinportatu news followed rapidly. The
first was this announcement by Sec
retary Long, Indicating tho placing
of our squadron and licet on a war
footing:
"Admiral Slcard has been granted
leave, very much to the regret of the
navy department, although on account
of his health. Captain Sampson has
bean made, commander of the fleet at
1
Sr
PAtTTLKBITIP KENTUCKY
Key West. C.tptaln Evans has been
ordered to take command of the bat
tleship Iowa."
Although the announcement did not
modorc W. S. Schley was slated to
command tho "flying squadron" ip
Hampton Itoads.
This announcement was recognized
at once as of unusual Importance at
this juncture. Admiral Slcard has been
in command of the fleet at Key West
throughout the critical period of the
Maine disaster. Captain Sampson has
been In command of the Iowa, but
more recently has' been conspicuous
before the public as president of the
Maine court of Inquiry. Captain Bob
ley Evans Is known as "righting Bob,"
The next important move was ti de
termination to create a Joint commis
sion from tho war! and navy depart
ments, so as to bring them Into har
monious action on all im asures. Cap
tain Barker, the naval aMe of Secre
tary Long, was dedfcnate.l to represent
the navy department In this plan of
action. The represintath e of the war
department has not yet been named.
It will not be neeefsary for these two
officers to leave WlaBhlnton, as they
can best arrange o,toint plan of action,
In conference with' the oureau chiefs
of the two departments lu re.
Then, at tho closfe.of dev, came an
announcement than the navy depart
ment has succeeded ln purchasing eight
steam yachts and four steam tugs,
presumably at. and near New York,
for use In the auxiliary naval fleet. The
boats are about 400 tons each, and
In an femergency would be suitable as
torpedo boats. Tho yachts purchased
are among the fleetest along the At
lantic coast, and are said to be somes
what similar to the Mayflower, re
cently purchased of the Ogden Goelet
estate. The names and amounts paid
for the various yachts and tugs are
not disclosed, as it is said this would
prove an embarrapsment to tho gov
ernment In promoting speculation on
other craft for which negotiations are
now proceeding.
Throughout the day the White House
presented an animated appearance.
senators and reprcs- ntatlves from both
political parties cull.ng to confer with
the president. The president said to.
several of his visitors that he would
do everything consistent with the
honor and dignity of the country to
avert war, and he still believed war
could bo averted. He also said that hu
believed the government of Spain was
as anxious for peace ns we were, but
at the same time he did not hesitate
to admit the gravity of tho.sltuatlon.
The president frankly acknowledges
that lie believes the report of the board
cf Inquiry will find that the Maine was
blown tip from the outside. III? pro
gram has been definitely decided upon.
It Is his purpose to treat the blowing
up of the Maine as an Incident. The
report of the board will be sent to
congiess on Monday, with a very brief
message relating to the events leading
up to that point and Informing con
gress that the facts contained in tho
report have been cabled to Madrid to
be laid before the Spanish government
by Minister Woodford. No demand
will be made upon Spiln, but the laylnu
of the facts before the Ppanl.-.h gov
ernment will, be equivalent to calling
upon Spain for an explanation and
such action as she may deem proper,
It Is the purpose of the house lead
era to refer the report nnd message
to the committee on foreign affairs
without debate, ond to this program
It is believed the Domqcrats of the
house have acquiesced, reserving tho
right to demand action if a renoit
from tho committee is too long de
layed. Much will then depend upon
Spain's response, but there are those
clcse to tho president who believe that
from tho time tho report Is sent to
congress It will drop out ns a factor
In tho situation. The second part of
the president's program reaches tho
Maine question, and Involves Inter
vention on humanitarian grounds with
in a week or ten davs after the re
port of the board goes to congress. It
will be intervention to relieve tho
starvation in Cuba, and upon Spain's
acceptance or objection to this act will
depend peace or war. A prominent
member of tho house said that in his I "lodost old carpenter who is now in charge of
