NEWS FROM HAVANA.
Divers Hard ut wors-No Moro bod,
les discovered Yesterday.

HAVANA, March 2.-The city is quiet
to-day, but the public and private
greetings of the Spanish cruiser Viz
caya, which arrived here last night,
have not lessened in fervor.
The divers are working hard upon
the. wreck of the Maine. It is feared
that many Of the dead were blown to
pieces. which would account for the
failure to find their bodies where ex-
pected.
The wrecking tug L ]. Merritt. Of the
Merritt & Chapman Wreckins and
Dredging company, commanded by
Captain d. A. Wolcott, arrived here
from New York this morning. and
later in the day moved a barge near
the wreck and commenced work.
Fred j. Sharp Is here In charge for
the company. The Merritt is a pow
erful boat, but another und bigger tug
Is expected shortly. The Right Arm
will probably remain as long as She
can be useful.
The wrecking company expects from
now on to keep four expert divers at
work.
Two Spanish divers were at work
about the wreck to-day, and it is I'M
derstood they will report to the Span
tsh board appointed TO inquire into the
cause of the disaster Captain Peral
is the president Of the Spanish board
of inquiry.
No bodies have thus far been found
to-day and there are no prospects of
any being recovered before night. 1t
is reported that Captain SiEsbee does
not expect to find any OF the dead in
the zones of the explosion. but he still
believes bodies will be recovered from
portions of the wreck as the divers re-
move the debris.
The divers who are working steadily
forward are eEcountar.ng continual
difficulties. The new tugs, additional
men and complete apparatus Will has
ten the work of salvage.
The barge brought with the wreclsins
tug l. J. Merritt is proving of great
value in carrying away debris. and In
the course OF few days much of the
wreck above water will be removed.
NJ bodice were found to-day and there
was no salvage Of any value.

SKELETONS FOUND IN A CAyE.-A
cave, heretofore unknown, was discover
ed at Belpre, near Parkersburg, w. Va,
on Monday, on the farm of B A. Prince.
The entrance, which is extremely
small, will only permit one person to
enter at q time. Some distance back,
however, large room, twenty feet
square, of solid stone, was encountered.
Dates as far back as 1898 are carved
on the walls. In one corner OF the
room q stone door, which swings on
large steel hinges, opens into another
room, about ten feet below the hrst,
which, when examined, was found to
contain hundreds of human ske etons
This wss supposed to be vault for the
disposition of the dead in the days OF the
aborigines. Twenty feet still lower, to
which one can descend with the aid Of
a rope, is another department. Here
is large pool of water, clear as crystal,
in which are numerous fish, resembling
somewhat the common suDfish. Hun
dreds of stone fish are TO be found in
the different sections of the cave, upon
which are carved dates reaching back
into the fifteenth century. These the
people are carrying away for relics.
Research will be continued until the
cave has been fully explored.

HAWAIrS QUEER WE'LL.

A most curious phenomenon has been
observed in the flow of the artesian
well on kealia plantation, Kauai. The
water has regular variations in its flow,
being lowest at s o'clock in the morn
ing, gradually rising until it attains lis
greatest flow at 2 O'clock in the after
noou, and then as gradually falling un-
I'll o'clock in the morning.
Manager George II. Fairchild, of the
plantation, thus describes the peculiar
phenomenon:
The top of the pipe is thirteen feet
above sea level. At eight feet there is
flow of about 100000 gallons in
twenty-four hours. By adding FIVE
feet more of pipe the flow stops. We
have had this extra five feet OF pipe on
top of the we'll for month or more,
waiting for extra pipe to conduct the
water to the mill where it is to be used
We have noticed peculiar action OF
this column of water and have been
unable to find any explanation of it. If
the publication of the facts will lead to
an explanation l will be very much
gratiied.
"Ihe column of water in this five feet
of additional pipe, placed to prevent
the flow, at O'Clock in the morning, is
q lis lowest point, one and half
inches below the top of the pipe. Then
is rises until at noon it begins TO flow
over the pipe. The flow increases un-
il . O'Clock, when there is quite flow.
From that time it gradually falls, until
a. II o'clock at night there is a very
Slight flow, and this ceases at l o'clock
in the morning, the water gradually
falling until it reaches the low est point
at o'clock, when it begins to rise again.
''It has been suggested that this
chaugein in flow is due to the tides, or TO
the rotation of the earth, or to the lntlu-
ence of the sun. 1t is interesting, and
/ should like q satisfactory explana-
ton"
Representative McCandless says, re-
gardlng this phenomenon, that in his
experience, where an artesian we'll is
influenced By the tides, the water new
er rises above sea level.
