SOLDIER SUSPECTED.
Private Anderson of Indiana believed
to Have Deserted.

Saturday afternoon a soldier. evidently
from Camp Alger. called at the first pre-
cinct station and reported that Private
Anderson OF the iJ9th Indiana Volunteers,
had been knocked from the Long bridge by
q train. He said that Anderson had fallen
In the water and Il was his belief that tho
victim had been drowned.
The man who made the report gave his
name SIS Daniel Freeman. and said he and
Anderson had jumped on train coming
over from Falls Church and while on the
bridge his companion. Anderson. was
Knocked of the train. According to his
story blood ard hair Of his lost comrade
could be seen on the ties. but the police
who went over and made an investigation
could find nothing 10 confirm the story.
Captain Morris OF the l59th Indiana Vol
unteers called on the police yesterday and
again this morning. He stated that there
was no man named Freeman with the In
diana troops, and that Anderson, who was
reported dead. Is missing. Anderson. he
says, was sent TO Fort Myer with a mess
age Saturday. He failed to return. and
Ii is thought that the man who made the
report was Anderson. 1t is likely that his
arrest as a deserter may be requested.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Commander J. E. Montgomery, once of the United States navy, commanding officer of a Confederate fleet during the civil war and the man who raised the frigate (afterward the ramp Merrimac, was very emphatic to-day in, declaring the sinking of the Maine to have been the result of treachery and an act without parallel in the worlds history. In his opinion war must inevitably follow.
 When the divers go down and ex- anime the hull of the vessel said Commander Montgomery, "it will be found that it was stove in by torpedo exploded under the bow with diabolical intent To be sure an accident may occur on shipboard; a magazine or a battery may explode. But consider all the circumstances and you will not en- certain the theory of an accident In the history of our navy there never has been such an accident. Why should the first one occur in so perfectly equipped a vessel as she Maine, and

CUBANS SAY IT WAS FOUL PLAY Dr. Castillo Attributes tn e Catastrophe to
 Treachery. Members of the Junta Suspect Ra bid Spaniards at
 Havana. Belief That the Anti Spirit Prompted Them to Destroy
 the Maine.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Dr. Joaquin D. Castillo, Cuban sub- delegate, who was formerly surgeon in the United States navy. speaking of the disasterto to the United States ship Maine, said:
 This is such a serious affair 1t is hard for me to believe it was not acci- dental, yet I am forced to suspect treachery. On reading early reports of this sad event I was inclined to think the explanation was not the outcome of plot on the part of Spaniards to destroy the American man-of- war, but rather the result of spontaneous com bustion of gun cotton on board the Maine. AS more detailed accounts of the occurrence become known, how ever, the opinion which I had formed at the first moment was altered. I be- gin to suspect that there was some foul play"
 Horatio S. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban Junta, expressed himself freely. He said: T do not believe the blowing up of the Maine was an accident. am of the opinion that the explosion was the result of outside work, and am led to this conclusion from the con- servative character of Captain Sigs- bees telegram. If Captain Sigsbee be- lieved that the explosion was accident al he would say so instead of wiring to send no warship and asking Ameri- cans to reserve their decision"
 Benjamin G. Guerra, treasurer of the Cuban Junta, said: T believe the blow ing up of the Maine was the deliberate work of some rabid Spaniards. While the Spanish Government may not be directly concerned in the plot, I think an investigation of the affair will show that some anti-American officials were at the bottom of the scheme to destroy the American battle-ship. I remember during the ten years war in Cuba the case of the Virginius. When the sur render of the vessel to the American Government was ordered Dr. Gallardo, a rabid Spaniard. a professor in the Havana University, made an attempt to blow up the vessel before she was delivered to the American warship that was sent to bring her to the United States"

HAS LITTLE FAITH
 IN SPANISH HONOR,

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-An evening paper quotes Horatio S. Rubens, coun- sel for the Cuban Junta in this city, as saying:
 Taking everything into considera- tion, I am firmly convinced that the tragedy in Havana Harbor was the work of the Spaniards. I do. not be- lieve, as has been suggested, that it was the result of an explosion of gun cotton. Too many of our boats have been in that climate and such an acci- dent never occurred to any of them.
 Tt is we'll known that there has been & very bitter feeling among the Span iards in Cuba against the Maine. Ca nalejas' own paper, the Heraldo, has repeatedly stated that the presence of the Maine was a menace to peace, and 1t was to the same editor of this paper. it will be remembered. that De Lome wrote his famous letter. If any Span iards did it they certainly acted in con- nivance with the Spanish authorities, for otherwise they could not have got together sufficient explosives. I feel certain it was not the work of Cubans, because if they wanted to blow any thing up they would have directed their force toward Spanish vessels or that beast, Weyler, long before this.'

STRANGE WORDS OF A
 MAN FROM KEY WEST.
Claims to Have Been Told That the Battle Ship Maine Was
 Doomed.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-After the ar rival of the Mallory line steamship Lampasas to-day the passengers were aroused by certain statements made by a fellow traveller, whose name is given as MT. Pemblington, in connection with the blowing up of the Maine. When the news of the disaster was gwen Pemblington is alleged to have thrown up his arms and exclaimed:
 My God, why did I not telegraph to Washington what I heard in Key West?"
 The man then said, according to re- ports current later, that he had been informed by the Spanish Consul at Key West that If the Maine stayed a week longer in Havana Harbor she might be blown up.
 One of the officers tonight said:
 Yes, it is true that there was a pas- senger named Pemblington who made several statements upon our arrival here which caused excitement among the passengers. The story comes to me through other persons. He Is said tn have bewailed the fact that he had not sent information to Washington in re- gard to what he heard in Havana and Key West I do not know whether he said that he had been informed by the Spanish Consul at Key West that if the Maine remained a week longer in Havana Harbor she would be blown up; but was told that he did say that there were torpedoes in the harbor and that he had been in Havana. He left for Washington in the afternoon. so I was told.'
