New York, April 1O-Joseph Pauell
Gibbons, the electrician who supplied
submarine mines TO the Spanish gov
eminent, cables from London to the
World:
".rhe only submarine mines which
have been supplied to the Spanish gov
eminent since 1857 were manufac-
tured under my own patents. then
supplied them with flfty-six ground
mines, twenty-five buoyant mines,
each with u charge Of 500 pounds OF
gun cotton, and fifteen electro contact
mines, exploded either by contact or
by observation from shore, each con-
tanning charge of 100 pounds Of gun
cotton. The mines sent to Havana
would still retain full effectiveness.
They will last under water for an In
definite period.
'In 1907 the Spanish government
ordered q fresh supply of my patent
mines. Whether they went to Ha-
vana or not is immatelial. One of the
mines supplied in 1856 is still fully
capable Of causing the destruction OF
the Maine. In fact l am convinced
from all surrounding circumstances
that no other agency could have caused
III SllcCL VI lAC u.s.
sertions of the secretary of the Span
ish legation at Washington, and of
Gen. Weyler, that there are no sub
marine mines in Havana EarbOr, alb
solutely affirm that shipped the above
mines for Havana and Ferrol, in a
Spanish ship, the property Of the Span
ish government, and differed by Span
ish naval officers, with two captains,
at the West India dock, London.
my mines are in electrical connec"
ton with the shore, and it is quite inl-
possible that they could be exploded,
except by design. l have not the
slightest hesitation in saying that the
Maine was deliberately destroyed
with 50O-pound ground mine, as in
vented and supplied by me. There is
consensus of opinion that the first ex-
plosion was external. The only way
of discovering the mine that sunk the
Maine is by undermining the cable
from the shore to the junction box, and
from thence UNDERMINING each indi-
vidual cable to the mine until one is
found without the mine attached.
81 am satisfied that the explosion
was caused by ground mine-not by
buoyant mine-for Havana harbor is
too shallow to admit of the use Of the
latter. 1 amprepared to satisfy by,
demonstration to any jury of reasona-
bic men that this is a true explanation
of the destruction of the Maine"

A New Sort of "Deadheads."

An entirely new way to see show
without paying or being admitted on
pass was discovered at the Empire thea
ter the other night. The dangers and
difficulties involved were such that few
would care to go the same way. An
officer in attendance at the theater was
informed by member of the company
playing there that several men were in
the space directly above the audience,
between the ceiling and the roof of the
theater. In the center of the ceiling is
an opening, and there the officer found
half dozen young men and boys lying
on the rafters, watching the stage.
The place where they were was very
dark, and it was not until the officer
lighted a match that they could be seen.
They hastily made their way to the roof
and disappeared over other roofs toward
Pearl street. 1t is thought that they
had made practice of climbing over
the roofs and taking up their perilous
position whenever it pleased them. If
by any chance one of them had stepped
off rafter, he might easily have fallen
through the ceiling and landed III the
auditorium. Albany Express.
