NO TRACE DISCOVERED
OF THE MEN WHO SAILED ON

The Only Hope Of Friends Is That
Some Who Intended to Sail
Did Not Do So

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.-The revc-
nue. cutters Perry and Rush, acting under
instructions received by telegraph from
Washington, left port today to search for
the wreck Of the Helen Almy. Both the
cutters took on board quantity Of gun
cotton, and the wreck of the Inflated bark
will be blown up and scattered to the four
winds. as she is a menace to navigation.
While little hope is held out that any of
the passengers or crew may have escaped
with their lives, the cutters will keep a
sharp watch while at sea for any survivors
who may be drifting on the wreckage.
kilograms have been sent to various
points along the coast instructing the
life-saving crews to patrol the beach in the
vicinity of the stations but so far no news
Of hopeful character has been received
by the collector Of the port.

. LIMA, O., March 2S.-The rumor I
| . that Lieutenant Jenkins, who went Z
| . down on the Maine. discovered Z
. submarine mine beneath the battle I
. ship very shortly before 1t was blown I
. up. is confirmed by letter received In Z
this city today. Z
. The letter was written by the lieu Z
| . tenant the very day before the explo- Z
| , sion, and was addressed to a member I
. of his family residing in this city, but Z
. for some reason the letter was not de- {
. livered until today.
. While members of the family admit Z
the general purport Of the missive Z
. they refuse absolutely to allow its text {
. to be printed. They even refuse to Z
. permit the use Of extracts from 1t.
. However, this much is known re- Z
garding Its contents: Z
The lieutenant, on discovering the Z
. mine immedia tely under the Maine, Z
. reported the matter to Captain Sigs- 9
bee. Then, foreseeing the awful ca Z
. tastrophe, wrote home 10 his mother {
. and relatives. telling them of his dis Z
covery, and saying that he was per- .
haps writing home for the last time, .
as he expected the boat on which he Z
. was stationed to be blown up at any Z
. time. His prediction was fulfilled In .
. every particular. Z
The Maine was blown up the very .
. next night, and the letters that poor .
Jenkins wrote home to members of the .
family then were. the last they will .
. ever receive from him. .
All that has been found so far of .
. jenkins effects is his sword. This .
. was forwarded to his aged mother, :
. and received by her today. .
. 1t is barely possible that the letter .
. received by Jenkins family today was .
. given by Lieutenant Jenkins to mail .
. the night before the explosion, that It .
. was not posted Immediately. and that Z
. after the disaster 1t was used as evil Z
.deucs be fore, the 'boardtof inquiry. to. Z
. substantiate the reported testimony :
. warned by Jenkins Of the presence Of Z
the mine beneath the Maine. = .
The members Of the family intimate :
that the letter may be given out for .
. publication In case It is not contained .
In the report Of the board OF inquiry, .
but at present they refuse absolutely .
. to permit its publication. .
. 1t is suspected that after the letter .
. was used before the board of inquiry, .
1t was forwarded to the family with .
. the request that its contents be kept .
. secret. .

at this time may lessen the probability
of war, and in the end prove a wise econ

In the absence of particulars, Gen. Lee
believes that the request was prompted
by the autonomists, who probably alleged
that he was not a believer in autonomy
as it existed here, and therefore asked
his removal to set a stumbling block out
OF the way.
Consul General Lee is on the best Of

All assure him Of absolute protection.
