MRS. WHITNEY INJURED.
knocked From Her Horse While
Following the Hounds and
Quite Seriously Hurt

AIKEN, S. c., Feb. 21.-While follow
Ing the deer hounds today, Mrs. Will
liam c. Whitney, wife of once Secretary
OF the Navy Whitney, was knocked
from her horse and quite seriously
hurt.
Mr.. Whitney and wife, with a party
of thirty-five or forty friends, were out
on deer hunt two miles from the CITY
at Robins park. Mrs. Whitney was
among the leaders and was riding at a
fast gallop along narrow path a
short distance from the roadway.
Nailed across the path was a scant-
ling which Mrs. Whitney did not see
until too late. She was riding so fast
she could not stop in time to save her
self and was carried directly against
the piece of wood. She was struck In
the forehead and knocked from her
horse. Luckily her stirrup was of the
safety pattern and her foot did not
catch when she was thrown to the
ground.
When picked up she was unconscious
and had long, ugly cash just above
the eyes. She was carried to her resi-
dence in this city, where DIR. Valentine
Mott, of New York, who was In the
party attended her injuries. He pro-
nounced her injuries very painful and
said that she would be confined to her
room for some time.

DESTROYED BY DESIGN
GENERAL OPINION OF PASSENGERS
ARRIVING FROM HAVANA
William Garbin, Reaching New York
by Ward Line Steamer, Claims
to Have Important Information
to the Disaster-SpanishS Showed
Great Indifference to Loss of Life.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The Ward line
steamer Seguaranica arrived at Quar-
antine today from Tampico and Ha-
Vana. The Seguaranica arrived at Ha-
vana at 10 o'clock on the morning after
the disaster to the Maine and passed
close by the wreck.
The Seguaranica's passengers said
that great excitement prevailed at
Havana and at the time of sailing the
foreign population was generally of the
opinion that the Maine was destroyed
by design. They cited among other
things, in support Of this theory, the
fact that the Spanish man-of-war AL
fonso XIII, which was anchored near
the Maine, changed her mornings just
previous to the disaster.
One of the passengers, William L.
Garbin, went so far as to say that he
saw boat go near the Maine q short
time previous to the explosion He
said he would go to Washington to
make a statement before the proper
authorities.
c. p. Holcomb, of Newcastle, Del,
general manager of a street railroad in
Philadelphia, one of the passengers,
was outspoken in his belief that the
investigation at Havana would reveal
some startling circumstances.
II went to Havana" said Mr.. Hol-
comb. mot at all in sympathy with

neighborhood of 100000 to complete.
The method employed in building the
dam and lock will be to first build
around the place where the lock is to
be located a cofferdam of cheap ma
terial. This will give the workmen a
dry place to work upon. When that
portion of the river is bridged, a SINH
lar operation takes place on the oppo-
site side. After this, portions Of the
dam proper are built in installments
until the whole task Is completed AS
fast as the several sections of the dam
and lock are completed, the cofferdam
is torn down and rebuilt around an
other section of the dam. The water
inside of this subStructure is pumped
out, and the piles are sunk and the
foundation laid.
1t is expected that the completion of
the work will require about one year
The appropriation of the last con-
gress only partially covers the outlay
necessary in the construction of Dam
No. 2. This session of congress will, in
all probability, make an appropriation
suff1clently large to cover the whole
cost. AS soon as this is done efforts
will be made to secure an additional
appropriation for the construction of
Dam No. l, so-called, which will be
situated just above the mouth of Min
nehaha creek
When these two dams are completed
the worst part of the river will be
covered, and 1t is claimed that naviga-
ton will then be possible. River men
are inclined to doubt this, as there is
quite a fall between Minnehaha creek
and point below the mouth of the
Minnesota river. In order to make the
other twin the head of navigation, it Is
argued that another dam will be nee
essary.
The ground has been fully covered by
Capt. Abbott in his correspondence
with the war department. and the de-
partment is thoroughly familiar with
the work to be undertaken Plans are
now being drawn, under Capt Abbott's
supervision, for the dam and lock
proper, which will be referred to q
board of engineers appointed by the
war department This board will go
over the plans carefully. and, when
tnelr labors are finished, everything
VIII be In readiness to build the dam

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS NEGATIVE.
No New Light on the Subject of the
Maine Disaster.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Today's
developments In the Maine disaster
were of a negative character, greatly
to the disappointment of considerable
number of persons who were looking
for some startling discovery by a diver
working in the sunken hull.
1t was stated today that 1t will be the
policy of the house leaders to prevent
as far as possible, any agitation Of mat
ters relating to Cuba or the Maine
disaster In the immediate future
Pending the result of the official in
Vestigation they believe it is wise and
the part Of good public policy to main
tain silence. AS Chairman Hit. of the
foreign affairs committee, is confined
to his home by bad cold, IT Is probable
that no meeting of that committee will
be held until he returns to his seat in
the house.
1t is understood that the report OF
the state department to be made in
answer to the house resolution Of in
quiry regarding the situation in Cuba
will not be made far a week or ten
days 1t is explained that the work Of
preparing the consular reports which

The Vizcaya will not coal at New

here, nor will it be necessary for her
to take coal before reaching Havana.
This determination gives relief to the
authorities here.
The state department, after learn
ing that Lieutenant Commander Sobral
was no longer recognized as an attache
of the Spanish legation. decided to
ignore the interview attributed to him,
which 1t was at first disposed to resent.
1t Is now learned that Secretary Long

with Secretary Long that there was
warrant for looking into the matter

however, promptly declared that the

One of the first things taken up yes

state Commerce Commission for
n Suspension of the Long and
Short Haul CInuse-Wiu Protect
Their business.

General Passenger Agent Fee, of the
Northern Pacific, will this morning APP
pear before the interstate commerce
commission in Washington and make
application for an exemption from the
long and short haul clause on all it's
business in competition with the Ca
madam Pacific road
If this is granted, and the officers of
the road are inclined to the belief that
1t will be, the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern will be in much the
same position with regard to the atti-
tude toward the Canadian Pacific
There is quite little history in con-
nection with the declaration by the
500 people of the Canadian Pacific's cut
rate, which may never be written, but
suffice it to say that matters are so
shaping themselves that the Canadian
road will have a battle royal on it's
hands. It's competitors declare simply
that the Canadian Pacific folks want
the differential, and reduced the rates
In the hope that. when urged to restore
them, they might say:
Give us our differential, and we will
put the rates back
AS it looks now, they NAV not be
asked to put them back. 1t is supposed
the Canadian Pacific believed it's ac-
ton would embroil the whole country,
but, while it is pretty bad as it stands,
the Missouri river lines have not yet
shown any signs of breaking into the
slashing. and the opinion was expressed
yesterday that they would probably
keep up their rates.
The statement which appeared in one
st. Paul and one Minneapolis paper
that the 500 would put the rate from
here to the coast down to $40 yester-
day, If the Canadian Pacif1c's first re-
duction was met by the other cross
country lines, seems to have frightened
nobody, while, on the other hand. the
500 officials were forced to tell the
bowling mob which besieged their Min
neapolis office yesterday in search of
the cheap tickets that the statement
was Incorrect, and that the rate was
$50, quoted by all three lines The 9TH

dian Pacific rates were not made in

report.
