New York, Feb. %. - The Havana
correspondent Of the Herald says: l
have learned from the highest authori-
~ that no matter what may have been
the cause Of the catastrophe to the
Maine, the harbor of Havana Is, and
has been for a long time, filled with
submarine mines and torIedoes. When
1t was rumored that a United States
wal vessel would be stationed In the
harbor the attention of DIG of Gen.
Weyler's aide-de-camps was called TO
the fact that all the large shore bat
teries guarding the entrance to the
harbor could only be directed against
an enemy in the open sea, and that IL
q wal vessel succeeded in running past
the forts and entering the harbor the
entire city would be at it's mercy. The
officer replied that the engineers en-.
trusted with the most recent fortifica-
ton of the harbor had fully considered
this question, and had arranged that
if a vessel ever did enter the harbor
she could be blown up at N This
explains the seemingly unprotected
condition of the harbor. There is no
disposition to jump at conclusions. but
1t is believed that ii the worst fears
prove true il will be found 10 be the
work Of a fanatical Weyierite, who
had two purposes in view: First. to
strike a blow at the United States;
second, to embarrass Gen. Blanco.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

Ing Investigators, conscientious col
lectors of documents; but with their
pedantry Is combined a lively appre-
citation OF the function and ~possibili-
ties OF the literary art.
The writing OF history, therefore,
becomes In their practice a task
Identical In aim to that Of the histor-
ical painter. They do not permit
themselves to stop with the mere
presentation OF the facts of the past.
but, because they are artists, they
must vitalize these facts, and bring
their readers, as do the painter and
the historical novelist. into a vital as
well as into an intellectual relation
with a remote period.
Their ideal requires not only that
they shall prove their case, but that
the demonstration shall be as aethet-
ically convincing.
Historical accuracy loses nothing
by this treatment, and the personality
of Washington gains immeasurably.

The complaint Is made that, though

Gen. Lee, when these matters were
brought to his attention, replied that
there was not the slightest intention
to neglect the eastern provinces, but
he pointed out that Havana, being the
largest city, was consequently more In

Washington as a Dresser.

In his youth, and even during the
revolution, Washington was a good
deal of a dandy. He gave his tailors
minute instructions as t o the number
of button holes desired on his coat
front, and for the cutting of the waist.
He had a weakness for blue and purple
broadcloth. silver and lace trimmings
and ruf1ed shirts. During his later
years. however, Washington dressed
more modestly, and always in good
taste. In his personal appearance he
was exceptionally clean and neat. He
is described as tall and well proper
toned and Of commanding presence.
His feet were unusually large. Though
he wore false teeth and his large-fea-
tured face was colorless and pitted
from smallpox, he was considered
handsome. Els. carriage was always

partment at the national capital, which
reads: "To jamboree at Charlottes
