' (Sharing the general anxiety for some information on this point, Secretary Long to-day, at the Instance of the ?iijilnet, seht a telegram to Admiral Sicard, asking him when it was "ex? pected that the report -of the court would be made, and late to-night the following reply was received: "Key West, March 4, 1S0S. ''Secretary of the Navy: "Have talked with the president of the court or Inquiry and agree with him that it is not yet possible to fix a date for the Unding, as so much de? pends upon the progress of the divers and wreckers ami the results they ob? tain.

It Is t.'ken to mean that upon the testimony or discoveries of the dlveis will depend the Unding, the examination of the ollicciri ami crew of the ship having been Insufficient to enable the court to even form an Idea as to what lines may be opened up from the investiga? tion of the wreck Itself. While the telegram was naturally somewhat of i disappointment in leav? ing the termination of the Inquiry as much In doubt as ever. It was welcomed as practically sitting at rest any re? ports as to the result of the investiga? tion up to date. It Is stated that live 'hoard in Ml probability will not return to Key West, the Department having Intimated that it was i s desire that ?the ex4 mi nation of .he officers and men should 1,,- concluded at this sitting, as they are needed for re-asslgnment to ships.

However, as to the report from London to-day of the purchase of the A'inazonlus by Spain, it Is said at the dopnrbmonl that this vessel sailed fin- Brazil several months ago, and has been delivered to the Brazilian govern? ment.

They are useful cruisers, copies of the Barnssn, now of the Brazilian navy and their strong point is their gnat radius of action?S.nuo miles?which wiauhl fnable them to cross the Atlantic and re-cross without renewing their coal supply. The other two ships building for Brazil in Prance, which are also reported to be about to pass in bo Spanish possession, are presumed to b the Desdorro ami the Flor Ion a, which are building at La Se'.nne, Toulon. These are small but powerful battleships. Their tonnage is only 3,1G2, but they parry four 10-inch rill as In 'turrets. In addition t> two fl? inch and four 1.7-inch guns, ami a good secondary battery.

Admiral Sicard's precept, convening the court of Inquiry now investigating the disaster to the battleship Maine, has been received by the Navy Depart? ment, and was made public to-ifay. It Is Important mainly in showing the ex? act scope of the Inquiry and the extent to which the report will go. Aside from the usual orders, directing the court to report both findings of facts and Its opinions on these findings, Admiral Sicard directs the court to record any [ information as to person or persons, "not connected with the Navy of the United States, who are In Its opinion, responsible In part or wholly,- directly I or Indirectly, for the explosion and loss of the Maine." with names and the degree of responsibility In each case. The court Is to make Its report to Admiral Sicard. The state Department received the following telegram from Consul-Genc ral Dee last night: "Havana. -.March 3.?

SPAIN PURCHASES TWO CRUISERS Negotiating for and Will Probably Purchase Two More* WERE BEING BUILT FOR BRAZIL I - Spanish Government Also Trying to Secure Guns 'and Am? munition?Funds Raised from Unknown Sources? French Finances Thought to Be Behind the Scheme. London, March ?!, 1S3S. Spain has purchased two cruisers which the Armstrongs have been building for Brazil, the Amazonius und a sister ship, unnamed, of 4,000 tons each, L'.'l knots and ten guns. Spain Is also negotiating for and will probably secure two cruisers of a sim? ilar type, which have been building in France for Brazil. The Amazonius is ready for launching and her sister ship will soon be ready. The Spanish government is also endeavoring to secure guns and large supplies of ammunition In England and on the Continent tor Immediate US-'. SPAIN HAS RAISED FUNDS. The government of Spain seems to have funds, for it is understood 16 be pay? ing a karge part of the purchase money In cash, giving good si curlly for the balance, these being the only terms upon which the Armstrongs would deal. Soine weeks ago Spain attempted to purchase ships and supplies In Eng? land, on credit, from prominent firms having dose relations with the govern? ment, but after inquiries the firms refused to give credit. Sine - then Spain has raised funds from unknown sources. Diplomats in London express the belief that French financiers are helping the Spanish government. OTHER VESSELS TOR SALE. It is kn'wn that Spain is trying to purchase three ether ships Which arp bring built by the Armstrongs, but she has not yet succeeded in making a bargain, consequently there is still time if the United Status wishes to fore-" stall her. The United Stat s could also forestall Spain in Hie purchase of other sh'.ps building in English and Conilnentnldockyards. While Chili denies that any of the ships ordered for that country are for sale, it is believed by naval constructors that chili's best cruls r, the O'Hlg gins. -which is just finished, could be purchased.

Alfter two postponements of i;.s departure the court of Inquiry iefo for Havana this evening on the light house tender Mangrove.

(inly three of the six days the court was her i were d< voted to the work of Investigation. The inactivity of yes? terday and to-day is still unexplained, except by n semi-official statement that Rear Admiral Siotrd was awaiting Iri struoeiohs from Washington. The ses? sions, it is generally unilerstovd, de? velop, d no evidence by which the court could definitely determine the cause of the explosion. ?A naval officer in close touch with tile menvbers of the court, said to this cor? respondent : "With '.tie exception tie- witnesses who testified here were Maine sur? vivors. 'Tlie evidence, though, in most aascti taking longer to tell, can be .-um med tip in the words <-f an enlisted man who. when Judge Advocate Marls asked him what he knew about the explosion, it-plied: 'Sir. 1 was bio wed up. I was saved and I'm here.' Tii.it iv.-vs all tie could rfvrcar to." One Important fact has boon learned, however. I: is this .although the mem? bers of the court may have their Indi? vidual theories, they are by no means prep ired as a body (o render a rt icte Ive verdict. The officer already quoted said: "If the court has yet heard any testi? mony whivh wv-uld enable It to decide Intelligently that, the Maine was blown up from external causes, I am the most mistaken man in the world. Be? fore the coming Havana sessions are over it may secure such evidence and possibly find the blowing up was Inten? tional. Is will learn from the divers the actual condition of the ship after the explosion. a? It bus already learned from the survivors most of the del ills of the ship's condition before the ex? plosion. Willi the-- ? bases thoroughly established the court will hoar more expert theoretical testimony and then reach a verdict." This statement can be taken as moi<' worthy of reliance than that of the Maine officer who said the other day he believed the court wns bound, on evidence already heard, to find the enurio of tiie explosion external.
