But not so the girl.
She had determined that any man

Are Ready to Work.
Havana, Feb. 26.-Seaman Holzer is
very low The court of inquiry was in
session to-day, but did nothing, sim
ply waiting to see If any new develop
ments came from the work of the div
ers. A strong wind hindered the divers
in their operations, but the new divers
and apparatus brought by the Mascotte
are now on board the tug Right Arm
and will be put to work as soon as pos
sible.
Captain Sampson expects that the
Mangrove with the court of inquiry on
board. will sail tonight unless dis
coveries are made to detain her. Cap
tain Sigsbee and the other officers of
the Maine who are here will proba bly,
remain until the Mangrove returns.
This morning Senator Proctor took
breakfast with General Lee and after
ward walked and drove about the
city.
The wreck of the Maine sinks per-
ceptibly every day into the mud of the
harbor. La Lusha to-day insists that
the American correspondents are in
sidious and perfidious and are sending
news North that the Maine disaster
was not an accident"
The court this afternoon re-examined
Captain Sigsbee, Surgeon Henneberger,
two divers and Consular Clerk Drain.
They then verified the testimony by the
stenographer'S notes and made prepa-
rations for their departure.
Senator Proctor, with his friends Mr..
Parker and Consul General Lee, rode
around the wreck in a launch. Com
mander Cowles Of the Fern then went
on board the Mangrove and paid a So
cial call to the members of the court
The visit was purely friendly and had
no official character The Mangroye got
under way after the farewcls had been
spoken, about $50 O'Clock. Captain
Sampson said he had no idea when the
court would return here.
| It's reported from Spanish sources
that Captain Sigsbee and thc other
officers of the Maine who are here will
be called before the admiralty court in
Havana next Monday TO give their tes-
timony referring to the loss of the
Maine This is the usual course ii is
said, and has been expected. The div
ers will continue work on the wreck
next week under the directions of Cap
tain Sigsbee.
Seaman Frederick o. Holzer. after a
most sturdy fight for life died this
morning. Three bodies have been re-
covered to-day. One of them came to

Mr.. Lewis, DEM. Wash, created
something of sensation by offering
the following resolution as an amend

behalf of the United States and ex-
pressing the sense that the relations
between Spain and the United States
should until the inquiry as to the cause
of the Maine disaster, remain only in
the formal and official way demanded
by the needs of the respective nations.
Mr.. Lewis was proceeding to remark
upon the "ghoulish spectacle" of Min
lister Woodford banqueting the Span
ish cabinet while the country was
mourning the loss of $50 brave sailors,
who We're the victims of Spanish hate,
when Mr. Cannon internosed a point
of order against the amendment, and 1t
was promptly sustained by the chair.
Mr.. Lewis attempted to debate the
point of order. saying the amendment
was certainly pertinent to the para
graph under consideration, which hap
pened to relate to IT,
