WRECK TO BE ABANDONED.
Dismantled Maine to lie blown Up
Naval Officers to BE With
drawn from Havana.

Washington, March 24.-The navy
department has arranged for the prac-
teal withdrawal of all it's naval Off
GERS at Havana, and the abandonment
of the wreck of the Inflated battleship
Maine.
Secretary Long said Wednesday
morning, in answer to an inquiry on
the subject, that he saw no reason for
the officers to remain at Havana much
longer, and the probability was that
they would be ordered home. Although
1t is not finally settled, 1t Is more than
probable that the Fern also will return
to the United States as soon as it is
determined that nothing more is to be
gained by her presence there. In the
event of the abandonment of the
wreck, 1t is more than likely that the
navy department will arrange for its
complete destruction by the use of dy-
Mantle or torpedoes. In its present
condition 1t is dangerous obstruction
to navigation, and it is not believed that
any opposition will be offered to its
removal.

ANIMALS AS MODELS.

There was an elephant in the Jardin des
Plantes that would not pose unless he were
paid for it. and paid in advance. Then he
took payment in buns and pie. and if these
were not forthcoming he would deliberately
walk to the farther end of the Enclosure
and turn his back. The only way to get a
drawing of this big fellow was to engage
some one to feed him meanwhile.
In the same gardens I saw an unusually
interesting sight one morning. A little
sunbear, with a large marrow bone In his
shaggy paws. was resortiEg to all sorts Of
bear devices to get the sweet marrow. Sud-
denly he lay down on his back placed the
