THEY THINK 1T PREMEDlTATED.
The AIphonso Nil. Changed Her Moor
ings Before the Explosion.

New York, Feb. 21.-The Ward line
steamer Segurance arrived at quarantine
to-day from Tampico and Havana. The
Segurance arrived at Havana at 10
O'Clock on the morning fter the disaster
TO the Maine and passed close by the
wreck. The Segurance's passengers
said that great excitement pre-
vailed at Havana and at the time Of
sailing the foreign population We're gem
orally of the opinion that the Maine was
destroyed by design. They cited among
other things In support of this theory
che fact that the Spanish man-of-war
Alfonso MIL. which was anchored near
the Maine. changed her moorings just
previous TO the disaster.
One Of the passengers. William l.. Car
bin. went so far as to say that he sa y a
beat go near the Maine short time
previous to the explosion. He said he
would go to Washington to make
statement before the proper authorities.

manager Of a street railway in Phila-
delphia. one of the passengers on board

sobrai says He's Sti1 Connected With
the Spanish Legation.

New York. Feb. 21-To-day repre-
sentative of the associated press called
on Lieutenant Commander l.. ID. So
bIal, naval attache to the Spanish le
cation at Washington. now in this city,
and during an interview held in the
Spanish language. asked if the reported
interview held with him had been ac-
curately stated. Lieutenant comman-
der Sobral said that he had been mis-
understood hence misquoted. He said
that the construction placed upon his
remarks had led to an erroneous de-
duction-that he had not made any I'M
kind or harsh remarks about the Off
GERS of the Maine. When asked IL his
official connection with the Spanish sle-
cation had ceased he said that IL had
not.
Washington, Feb. 2f.-Notwthstand-
ing the statement of Lieutenant Com
mander Sobral that he is still a naval

Havana Feb. 21.-Divers to-day con-
tinued the work of trying to recover
the victims of the Maine disaster.
There is TO truth in tho report that an
explosion has occurred at the wreck of

from the report which reached Key

stroying windows. blinds and roof
wounding several people. The explo-
sion caused great confusion and many
masqueraders abandoned the theater.

ton into the causes OF the disaster. He

Chapman Dry Dock and Wrecking

the presence of the tug or her pros
pectiye work. She probably VIII make
an attempt to save the big guns and if
possible the more valuable parts of the
Names machinery.
Tomorrow morning Consul General
Lee will escort the officers of the court
of inquiry to pay visits of ceremony TO
the captain general and Admiral Man
terola.
To-day the divers found a copper
cylinder used in conveying charges 10
the six-inch guns. The fact that ii had
exploded seems 10 show that there was
an explosion in the magazine for fixed
ammunition on the port side forward.
All the wounded except two are do
