In whatever ac tion President McKinley onay decide ' to take in the light of the Maine disaster to effect a seCtlement of the Cuban question; ne wlll undoubtedly have the unanimoiis. non -partisan support of tlhe American con gress..

Reed thinks the bill unwise, but the other republican m)embers, Henderr son of Iowa, , and Saizell . of Pennsylvania, favor the bill, white thedemoicitajtic mem bers, Boiil!ey of Texas, and (McMillin of Tennessee, oppose it. Undoubtedly a mi nority of tfhese will volte for t!he bill if they get an opportunity,' and Sit Is reasonable Ho suppose that an arangemeot will be made. BURIAL AT KEY WEST.

Although .the aid- .......... i .ft y ministration is undoubtedly withbtit' ;ad vices from the Maine board of inquiry tending to show what its findings . will be, Uhere are good reasons for belief that from other official sources information has been received that the evidence taken by the board will show that the disaster kwas not the result of an accident. It . is rumored tihat Consul General Lee has sent directly to McKinley a statement in regard to the cause of the ' -explosion today. The rumor oame from a person In a position to know whether any message, of the sort hasVcbme;lrinx"Iie -kii;thosiijc4 obtained; - agreed thar. Liee had made X sbatement "or, expressed am opinion that the Maine was destroyed 'by causes from outside, and it had been clearly proved' that the axscJdent theory is not upported. ' The letter is not beEeved to have been wTitten by Iiee in his. official capacity, but only as from one citizen to another. He denied today that the board has informed the navy department that it had secured e nough evidence to Justify the prpearatlon of a report, but that it would return to Havana to bear farther. testimony ;'from-di-vers engaged on the wreck. Naval officers saM that the board would return to Ha vana.
