Explosion Occurred

Havana, Feb. 1.-THE United States
war snip Maine was blown up in the
harbor of this city at $40 last night.
Two hundred of the ships crew and
two officers are missing. and are be-
lieved to have been killed. The cause
of the explosion has not yet been ascer-
tanned. There were over 800 men on
the ship when the explosion took place.
The explosion caused the most in
tense excitement IN this city, where
electric lights were put out by the
shock. Fire alarms were turned IN
from many places in the belief that n
great fire had broken ont and panic
prevailed. Consul-Gene-al Lee was no.
titled and an hour later sent a message
of the disaster to the state department
