St. James Gazette Says Spain Owes Apology and Indemnity.
London, March 29.—The St. James Gazette, commenting on the report of the United States naval court of inquiry into the loss of the battleship Maine, says: There can be no doubt Spain owes reparation to the American government, saying nothing of the most humble apologies and the most extreme considerations for the feelings of the nation which has lost a fine cruiser lying at peace in a presumably friendly harbor. The outlook is as threatening as it could be. Spain is in the wrong, and it is for Spain to walk warily.
The Westminster Gazette says: The resources of diplomacy ought not yet to be exhausted. We trust President McKinley will maintain his unexceptionable attitude and not allow himself to be jingoed into war.
Calls on the Naval Reserve.
Trenton, N. J., March 29.—Adjutant General Stryker has received word from Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt to hold 95 of the New Jersey naval reserve in readiness to take the monitor Montauk from League Island yard to Portland, Me.
