ftltli DEPENDS UPON REPORT
MADE BY BOARD Os inquiry
Investigation Is Progressing amt a Decision
Mag Be Reached This Week,
THERE NOW SEEMS TO BE NO DOUBT
THAT EXPLOSION CAME FROM OUTSIDE
in lhe Meantime Preparations Are Being Made So That
Our Navu and Army Will Be in Readiness
in Event War is the Outcome.
Development of the past week tend to the belief that" the L’nitcd
States is on th< v< i of a crisis that, unless handled diplomatic ally, will
lead to war with Spain. Ihe administration seems to favor the demand
of a large indemnity from Spain in the event that the report of the board
of inipiiry imds that the explosion, which destroyed th< battleship M.une,
was cause dby a Spanish sub-marine mine. In case an indemnity is de
manded .mil the Spanish government should retuse to pay it—which is
regarded as probable—the next thing would be a declaration of war and
the .seizure of the island of Cuba.
But, it is all speculation until the board of inquiry makes its report.
In the meantime there is great activitx in military circles, and there is no
telling what a day's developments will bring.

have advised their governments of the
extreme probability if not the certain

way they hastened to deny this fact
as soon as it became known, but it is
