Talk about usury! The Wayfarer
hears Of case over in Cecil county,
Md, which is almost beyond belief. A
young farmer OF dissolute habits, but
with farm back OF him, needed 500
in hurry. The man who negotiated
the loan charged him $40; the man
who loaned the money charged him
$40, and the man who drew up the
agreement charged him $40. With the
$40 left after these sharks had got
through with him he went to Philadel-
phia. The last thing he remembers of
his visit is that he was standing at a
bar treating seven girls to drink. When
he come to he was lying in a vacant
lot, his good clothes, hat and shoes
gone and old and shabby ones substi-
tuted. Being penniless he walked as
far as Claymont and then, through the
kindness Of station agent, who stood
for his fare, took a train and rode
home.

Assertions that Should be Rammed Down

here received the following dispatch
from its Havana correspondent:
''In order to justify himself to his
government, and to avoid RESPONSE.
bility for carelessness and COW.
ardice in the face of catastrophe,
and for abandoning his ship
and handing over the work of rescue to
our sailors, the captain of the Maine
telegraphed to New York, by way OF
Key West, that the explosion was
caused Intentionally.
Furthermore, Consul General Lee
after visiting the palace and declaring
that the disaster was due to careless.
ness in cleaning torpedoes, has tele.
graphed to his government in very re
ticent terms.
Nobody can doubt the gross negli.
gence of the officers and crew of the
Maine. Her captain and majority OF
her officers were on board the City OF
Washington at the moment of the ex-
plosion, but afterward wanted to make
out that they had returned to the
Maine before the disaster, and that
Capt. Sigsbee saved himself by. means
of boat
st is absolutely confirmed that no
boat of the Maine was lowered into the
water"

OF INTERNAL ORIGIN.
How Anyone Escaped Alive Toward Seems
Miraculous.

How Anyone Escaped Alive Toward Seems
Miraculous.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Capt. Sigs-
bees brief report as well as Gen. Lees
dispatch indicate that they now incline
strongly to the belief that the explo-
sion was of internal origin. Both agree
that the force of it was in the
forward part of the ship, and
this is borne out by the escape
of a majority of the officers, whose
quarters are aft, and the heavy casual
ties among the crew, sleeping forward.
Probably in the latter case. the death
list '~puld have been even larger but
for khe fact that the Maine, having
super&fructure forward on the main
deck, portion of the crew were quar-
tered there, and so escaped the greater
part of the force of the explosion as
felt on the berth deck below them. The
Maine had three magazines. The one
forward was used for the storage of am
munition weighing Il, OOOpounds. This
quantity of explosives is so large that
the navy officials here can scarcely be-
lieve it possible for any man being on
board to have escaped had the maya
zine exploded entirely.

CAPT. siGssEE's ADVICE.
Gen. Coppinger Says Judgment Should be
Suspended Until the Facts are Known.

Gen. Copptnger Says Judgment Should be
Suspended Until the Facts are Known.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 16.-Brig. Gen.
Coppinger, commanding the depart
ment of the Platte, said, when asked
this morning for some expression on
the Cuban situation, that it was impos-
sible Tor any army officer to make any
comments on international affairs,
and that in the present strained rela-
tions between Spain and the United
States careless talking might do great
injury. He thinks that Capt. Sigsbee's
advice to suspend Judgment until more
is learned concerning the destruction
of the Maine is very wise.
Gen. Coppinger expects that a full
report of the affair and a satisfactory
report will be made by night. He says
the loss of such an expensive and won
drously-constructed vessel was a loss
that our navy could i'll afford to en-
dure.

Il do not See" he sad. "how an eX-
plosion of the forward magazine could
have occurred. The keys OF the maya
zines are always kept IN the custody OF
the captain. All the ammunition
is carefully cased. mostly in
the form of projectiles, and
their explosion by themselves
is next to impossible. If, as the dis
patches state, 1.-THE whole bow of the

the explosion could not have beencaused

and if such an explosion had occurred
it would more likely hare caused q
