Kky West, March 82. The court of
inqutry has finished the, work of inves
tigation. Admiral Sicnrd has pointed out sonic
alterations to the court when it was sub
mitted to him. The report was taken
t Washington today by Lieutenant Com
mander Marix of the hoard of inquiry.
The decision seems to lie still a matter
of surmise. Significance is attached to
the remark of Admiral Sicnrd who said,
"the case is most peculiar, perhaps the
most peculiar which ever occurred in
the history of the world."
From this it is judged that the findings
do not solve the mystery of the explosion.
The court will remain in existence at the
call of Admiral Sicard.
The surviving ofrloers of the Maine
now here have received orders sending
them north.'' The flagship New York
goes north immediately. Thebattleship
Iowa becomes the flagship of the squadron.
Washington, March 23 (Special)
President McKinley announces that he
will receive the report of the Maine court
of inquiry Thursday or Friday, and that
he will send it to Congress next Monday.
There is a strong feeling in Congress
against the suggestion ot international
arbitration which it is now believed
Spain will request upon receiving the
report of the United States court,
This arbitration would review the find1
ings of Ihe court of inquiry and this is
considered an imputation of unfair deal-
nga on the part of the American naval
olHcers,
The President has made up his mind,
according to those claiming to know, to
recognize the Independence of Cuba. The
conferences held at the White Houbc
yesterday, when the President met
Speaker lteed and the other leaders of

utmost importance. No doubt the object
of the meetings were to arrange for a
program for the guidance Congreis
after the submission of the board of
inqniry report. "
Madrid, March 22. (Special.) The

The Spanish Minister at Washington
cables that the report of the United
States naval court of inquiry will hold
that the explosion of the Maine was of
external origin.
Havana, March 22. (Special.) The
pence mission of General Pandon has
failed. He did not even see the com

and reliable, and moreover, this remedy
is not a patent medicine, but it is a scien
