ATTITUDB OF NATIVBS
AMERICANS IS STRAINED.
THREATENED TROUBLE MAY
Proctor’* Visit Looked Upon With Bisf*.
vor By Spaniards, Who Believe Court
lias Adjudged Them Guilty.
According to Friday’s dispatches
decidedly pronounced anti-American
feeling ban been openly displayed
Havana and grows more pronounced
as tbe time goes by,
The new outbreak is attributable te
several events of recent date, the
most emphatic of which is a general
belief that the Maine court of inquiry
has forwarded to the American gov¬
ernment a forecast of its verdiot
and that that verdict charges the de¬
struction of the battleship to treachery.
Just how this idea first took shape
it, seems impossible to say, but that it
has become fully developed there can
be no doubt in the minds of those who
hear discussions in clubs and hotels.
In some way Senator Proctor’s de
parture had something to do with this
theory. Deny it as he would the im¬
pression prevails iu Havana that the
Vermont senator went to Cuba as the
special and personal representative of
President
Not Pleaied With Proctor.
Accepting that as correct the average
Spaniard declares that the sending of
Prootor into Cuba to acquire any in¬
formation is a reflection upon the hon¬
esty and veracity of Spanish officials
who make reports. It is not believed
either that a special emissary would
come unless he came to seek informa¬
tion calculated to injure Spain and it
is asserted that his report must neces¬
sarily be decidedly partisan.
No one in the city can be convinced
that Senator Proctor did not carry
back with him the result of the court
of inquiry and that result is univer
sally believed to be of such a natureas
will break all relationship betwee'nthe
two countries.
Court of Inquiry Flnlalie*.
It is _ known that the court of in¬
quiry is doing no more work. It is
realized by those conversant with the
situation that the board is only wait¬
ing for orders to return to Washington
to make its report. The absence of
both stenographers and the presence
of no shorthand writer is taken as
significant.
Both stenographers have been away
some days and one of them has been

in Havana, he has read his marks and

GERMAN PRESS CON VINCED

Advices from Berlin state that the
German press has given- uttoradee
the unanimous cdnvicUon that war
between the United States and Spain
is probable, although it is believed the
latter country will do everything to
avoid it.
In diplomatic circles it is said Spain
during the past week sent a circular
note to the cabnets of Europe to tlie
effect that the Spanish government
hoped the rebellion iu Cuba would be
completely suppressed by April 1st,
adding that if foreign influences had
not stimulated the insurgents and
supported them with arms, men,
money and ammunition, there would
beat the present moment no insur
gents left.
So far as the correspondent has been
able to ascertain, the document has
not elicited any replies,

is not honestly attempting to preserve
peace, but is seeking to keep the war
party in control, is widely dissemina¬

in official and diplomatic circles. One
newspaper interviewed the United

and printed his opinion that the ma¬

maintain peace. But the newspaper
added that Mr. White’s opinion was
not supported by facts, saying that

OUR DEMAND FOR GOLD
Will Probably Result In an Advance of
JSngliah Bank Bate.
According to advices from London
the money market has tightened bonk eon
siderably and an advance in tho
rate is noted. Tbe American demand
for gold has exceeded all expectation, gold,
and in addition to all the bar
about £400,000 (*2,000,000) in Japan¬
ese yen has been brought to New
York. This, with tbe withdrawal of
eagles, has induced the bank of En¬
gland to raise the price of Japanese,
French and German gold coins to 76s

MANY PLANS OF SETTLEMENT
Rcgarillnff the Caban Que.tlnn Being Sub
mitted to the president.
Projects for the settlement of the
Cuban question presented to President
McKinley are numerous, but' most of
them are regarded in official circle* as
unworthy of serious consideration.
One plan, however, has been pre
sented to the president which has re
ceived the approval in a general way
of leading men whose counsel*
weicht with the administration, and
there is reason to believe it i* the sub
iect of studious reflection in’ the cabi
net. The proposed pla« live# to On

In spite of the fact, that nothing defi¬

in its efforts to equip itself for actual
warfare than at any time since the de

Another step in the direction of war
is that the navy department lias pre¬
pared a full design for coast defenses.

itud Unexpected.
The Mangrove, with the court of in
nnirv on Vioard, sailed from Havana
Tuesday night for Key West.
Captain Sampson, president of the
board, told the Associated Press oor
respondent that the decision to leave
Havana was not reached until Tuesday
afternoon at a consultation of the
members. It was decided that while
further testimony might be obtained
there, this wasSiot likely to justify a
longer stay. The court can return if
the divers or wreckers make discoveries
that will add to the evidence now being
gathered. » • *
The plans of the submerged wreck,
iu the preparation of which Ensign
Powelson has had a very largo share,
are very elaborate, and Captain Samp
son says the testimony and records of
the divers are very full.
Cajdain Sampspn hopes the court
will be allowed to resume its
on the battleship Iowa, now near
West, with the flagship New York.
The greater part of the
that remains will consist, unless
court returns to Havana, of a
study of the plans. It is not
that it will be necessary to again
inon the survivors of tho Maine
or men.’
The court has no prophecy to the
as to the further duration of
tings, or when and where the
will be probably* promulgated. Captain
t>ee will remain in
accompanied by Commander
wright, to superintend the work
behalf of the government.

The foreign ministers iay more
on this reception of the Cuban than on

They look upon Quesada s presence al
