Z. S. BATTLESHIP BLOWN UP IN
CUBAN WATERS.


The UnIted States battleship Maine
was blown up in the Havana harbor on
Tuesday night at 9:45. She is a total
loss. She wac built in 1890 at cost Of
S2,5SS. 600 add was regarded one of the
best ships in the navy. She carried %
officers and $50 men.
The explosion was such as to cause the
city to shaFe. The Spanish boats in the
harbor rendered all the assistance In their
power.
The loss is placed at go, while other
reports say that only 80 men out of the
$50 are saved. Captain Sigsbee, COM
msnder Of the Maine, puts the loss at 263.
The fatality was less among the officers
than among the men as the explosion WAS
forward where the men slept. The Off
GERS slept aft.
At once there was q suspicion that
the Name had been blown up by
a torpedo and he excitement was
great, as IN that case war would be in
evitable. But the better opinion is that
1t is an accident, though what caused it
remains a mystery. Some of the officers
10 the navy insist that the blowing up
was an act OF treachery. Others recall
instances OF similar explosions which
were certainly due to accident
The frightful accident has aroused the
war talk and rumors were in circulation
last night that war had been declared.
This, of course, was not true.
The theories OF the cause are various.
Some say an internal machine was snug
gled 10; others that it was q torpedo;
others that it WAS spontaneous eombus-
ton. The powder In the magazines has
resisting qualities 90 great that 1t re-
quiree temperature OF 600 Fahrenheit

Iu England it was believed the explo-
zion would result 10 war. In conseq uence
there was big slump In stocks.

All, FOR KTRXAN.

Herewith are published the calls ngn-
ed by members of the bar in the several
counties constituting the Fourth judicial
circuit, with the exception OF Sbeboygan
county, on Judge Kirwan to be candid
ate for the circuit judgeship. There is
still possibility of Sheboygan's having
a candidate for the position. Indeed
the bar of that county with the exception
of two, has signed petition asking A. q.
Prescott OF Sheboygan to be candidate.
With this exception there is practical
uoanimity throughout the circnit. The
names of few lawyers in this county
and In Fond dl Lac do not appear on the
call. But this Is from no feeling OF hos
tllity to Judge K:rwan, but to avoid the
appearance of antasonlem In case con-
entions should be called. which now
seems improbable.
The Kewaunee Bar Association has
issued q call differing IN Its terms, though
the same in substance, from the others.
There is not member of the bar in that
county who has failed to sign.
The form of the call is the same in each
county except the name Of the county
and to avoid repetition only one form ls
given as heading to all.
BAR ENDORSEMENT OF JUDGE
KIRWAN.
The following call OF the members OF
the bar of the Fourth Judicial Circuit
