Th PrMldimt l Not Tfftgtftctlng Hit Dnty to Proparo for Any Emergency Uncor tAloty u to tho-Tmpor of Concrou to CkUlDB Aoxloty Dopartmoot Ifotol. (Special Correspondence.) Washington. Of course, the Main dlnaater lg BtlU tho chief topic both in Administration and Congressional cir cles. Despite the fact that the air has been full of sensational and contradic tory rumors, the administration has not swerved from Its determination to await patiently the report of the court of Inquiry before It acted. While he has been calm and dignified In all his course, the President has not neglect ed his duty to prepare for any emer gency. There has been activity In the departments but this has been justified by the seriousness of the situation, and the fact that oftentimes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The President realizes that present conditions cannot be tolerated much longer, and fully appreciates his re sponsibilities; but he does not yet see his duty. He hopes that after the board of Inquiry has made Its report some way of peaceable Intervention may be offered. A great many of his visitors urge him to do something. His Invariable reply Is: "What do you sug gest?" A Washington court has officially recognized that the sale of newspapers upon the streets Is a legitimate busi ness and a public necessity, and that persons who are engaged in H are en titled to the protection of the police. It Is held that newsboys may enter street cars for the purpose of serving papers to passengers, and that the conductors have no right to eject them so long as they conduct them selves properly and leave the car as soon as their business Is fin ished. It has cost one of the Washington street-railway companies $5,000 to learn this new principle In civil rights. One of the conductors of that road took the trouble to kick a newsboy off his car. It was shown that the boy was not trying to steal a ride, but was pursuing his vocation In a peaceable and proper manner. His leg was run over by a car coming from the oposlte direction and had to be amputated. The Jury gave him 5,000 damages. The question of the policy to be pur sued toward Cuba after the settlement of the Maine question Is one that Is causing the administration the great est anxiety. The uncertainty as to the exact findings of the court Is heighten ed by the uncertainty as to the temper of Congress as to subsequent events. There is undoubtedly a feeling of un rest among the Republicans, and a movement of no small importance has been started by Western members to protest against the iron rule of Speak er Reed in regard to the Cuban ques tion Itself. A paper was circulated which received many signatures, among them those of prominent rep resentatives, demanding that the Cu ban question be settled before any at tempt was made to adjourn Congress for the session. This mutiny is caus ing Speaker Reed a great deal of anx iety. The proposition to erect a national monument to the memory of those who perished by the destruction of the bat tle ship Maine in Havana harbor has taken hold of the American heart. Contributions are coming in freely, and in this -city 150 boxes have been put up in prominent places and are being rapidly filled. In every city f the Union some movement has been started and an effort made to swell the fund to the largest poslble proportions. In Washington it has taken the shape )f theatrical and musical entertain ments. The government decided to abandon Its expedition for the relief of the mi ners in the Klondike, as it is not be lieved that the miners are in danger jf suffering. A war departmtnt wit posted the following notice in one of :he corridors a few days ago: Wanted x Exchange Reindeer, in good con lHIon, only recently imported, for bat tleships, new or second-hand. Apply it the War Department, Washington, 0. C. Five months ago a sculptor began work on a clay model of the President, from which to make a bronse bust. The sculptor could have completed the work two months ago had the Presi dent been able to give him as many as two more sittings of thirty minutes each. But the time has not been at the disposal of the President since the war icare and the model remains unfin ished. If one may judge from the letters and messages coming to Washington from all over the country. It is certain that the people are quieting down, and the excitement which waa caused by the first news of the explosion is giv ing place to a calmer feeling. Mes tages are coming to Washington to how that the people are indorsing the President's policy, and commend ing him for bis patient course. The laugh was on Speaker Reed the other day. A postal card addressed "to the Congress of the United States, Washington, D. C," waa immediately delivered to him. Secretary Alger is the only Jingo in the cabinet, and from the beginning has been inclined toward extreme mea sures. Goaoml RoiMnH Lkood.

Tho AmiionM and tho Atmlrnnto AbrouaU Will Bo Added to tho Atlantlo Ploot Money for Fortifying tho Dry TortaftM Sot Alldo. Washington, March 15. The prudent and patriotic action of Congress in voting last week's appropriation of ?50,000,000 for the national defence bore Its first nota ble fruit when the Administration an nounced the addition by purchase of two new and efficient warsliRps to the American fleet. The new vessels which are to fly the 8tars and 8trlpes are the twin cruisers Amazonas and Almlrante Abrouall, just completed hy the Armstrongs at Newcastle, England, for the Rrpubllo of Brazil, Iloth are practically rendy for sea, and will be manned as soon as possible with American crews and brought to this country to rein force the Atlantic fleet. The two new cruisers, which are of the general type of the Cincinnati and the Raleigh, will be renamed after two Ameri can cities not yet represented in the naval list The purchase price of each Is sup posed to have been between fl,TC0,O00and 12,000,000. In addition to strengthening the navy the Administration has decided to push at once the work of fortifying the Dry Tor tugas as a possible base of naval supplies In case of a rupture with Spain. By order of the President 1500,000 of the emergency fund was set aside for use in putting both the Dry Tortugas and Key West in readi ness for dopot uses. It is expected by the naval authorities that an expenditure ot 1500,000 will be sufficient to put both sta tions In a proper state of defence, and so increase their capacity for naval rendezvous purposes that they can serve as a base for a campaign of any duration against the Spanish possessions in the West Indies. Tho Montgomery at Havana. Havana The United States cruiser Montgonier, has arrived here. Her arrival was very quiet, it being generally under stood that she comes to replace the coast survey steamer Fern as quarters for Capt. Slgsbee and others. After firing the usual salutes aud being saluted in return, the Montgomery was moored in the principal harbor, near the wreck of the Maine, and in the centre of a circle of Spanish ships.
