Whitney nt Gem, Idaho, December 23. There nre supposed to be about twenty men implicated. Whitney was murdered by the "Mollle Magiilres" who have ter rorised that section of the Coeur d'Aleneg for years. wrecking of the Maine has the situation seemed so critical. The Sptmlsn e ve " Ims cabled ofuelally to Washington ihut the Spanish naval commission holds the disaster to the Maine to be of Internal origin. The government of Spain It can be stated r""1 lllvely. Is not disposed to turn back the torpedo fleet now proceeding from the Canaries and would be disinclined to con sider a suggestion from this government tending to Interfere with the diaiaisttion by Spain of her own naval forces. War preparations on an unprecedented scale are being hurried to completion by the war and navy departments, and the country practically Is on a war footing. The foregoing gives the record of one ut the most eventful days the national cap ital has seen since the close of the civil war. It was a day of profoundly import ant action and of deepest anxiety coupled with naval and military activity, one step follnwing another In rapid succession. Kepresentative men of the administra tion, public men .n all branches of otticl.il and congressional life, no less than the public In general, shared In the tension to which the situation has been wrought l'bere was no effort among the highest olflclals. nor Indeed was ll possible from what was clearly apparent in the devel opments of the day to minimize the situation. Viewed In detail, the finding of the court of Inquiry was the most vital factor. At 111:30 the cabinet assembled, lulf an hour earlier than usual and began the consideration of the momentous docu ment. Even the rigid rules uf secrecy which prevailed at cabinet meetings were made doubly strict in this case and no In timation of the results reached by the court was known until 2 o'clock, when the Associated Press bulletin gave tho In formation to the country as well as to the eagerly waiting ottlclals throughout Washington. These results briefly stated nre that the loss tu the Maine was duo to nn explosion from the outside, the court being unable to tlx the respons ibility for the explnslnn. The court dues not express an opinion us to the ciarac ter of the explosion, but the testimony goes to show that It was a powerful sub marine mine, the exact churucttr of which was not determined, though belief was expressed that It was a floating sub marine mine. There were two explosions, the court llnds, the first front the out side and that set off one of the smaller miiKnxlnes. There was no change In the plan of milking the report public and transmit ting. It to congress early next week, ac companied by a brief message from the president.
