THE EXPERTS HAVE NOT BEGUN WORK Awaiting Orders From Consul
 General Lee. NlNETY-SEVEN OF THE DEAD Have Been Recovered by Divers-Approach to the Maine Is Now Prohibited Mes
 sages of Condo|ence From
 Many Sources.
NINETY-SEVEN OF THE DEAD

Havana Feb. 1S.-Lieutenant Perro Pe- ral, brother to the inventor of the sub marine appliance bearing their name, Senor Peral, the judge in the case of the Maine and the members of the technical commission have requested the authorize tion of Consul General Lee to take the dispositions of the officers of the Maine and to appoint a commission to inspect the wreck of the Maine and investigate tine cause of the explosion. General Lee has not yet replied to the application and con- sequently the experts have not commenced work.
 The divers are only employed in recower- ing the bodies of the dead. Up to o'clock this morning nnety-seven bodies had been recovered. Eight funeral wagons are en- ployed In carrying the bodies from La Macina to the Colon cemetery.
 Some Sad Relics
 The men searching for bodies have also recovered number of sad relics of the Maine, including a medical chest, enlist ment records, a gold watch and chain marked "P. T. Bartlett Waltham SS1 134,' ' and five portraits.
 Approach to the Maine is now prohibited inside of 100 metres, excepting in the case of boats of the United States navy or boats having special permit. This action IS taken as a precautionary measure against amy accident occurring during the inspec- tion by the American divers and to pre- vent amy interference with the work or dered by Captain Sigsbee.
 Neither Gen. Lee nor Capt. Sigsbee has so far asked permission to inspect the work in connection with the wreck of the Maine.
 Telegrams of Coincidence
 Gen. Lee is receiving many telegrams from mayors and other officials expressing sympathy at the loss of the Maine, and the foreign consuls have either called per sonally or have sent written expressions of their condolence. Messages of regret this morning have been received from the chamber of commerce, the president of the colonial government; pr. Congosto, the secretary general; the governor of Ha- vana, the mayor of Havana. the Marquis Esteban, the municipal council, the pros duce exchange and the stock exchange. In addition the theaters have suspended their performances and there will be no more music in the parks for the present. Patrick Gaffney, coal passer; Roberts fire man, and McManus, marine, are reported

Department Officials Still in the
 Dark as to Cause.
CAPTAIN SIGSBEE'S MESSAGE
Regarding the Torpedo Theory Vigorously De- nied by Secretary Long-Spain Will Not Have Finger in lnvesti-
 gating the Wreck.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-The feature of the day at the navy department was the large number of rumors of war-like tendency that came to the attention of the officials as requiring attention and in every case contradiction. So formidable had grown the list that at the close of office hours Secretary Long was induced to make the following statement as the easiest manner of disposing at one time of all these sto- ries:
 "Really no information has been received since Capt. Sigsbee's first dispatch, adding anything to our knowledge of the disaster. All we know is that the Maine blew up. There is abundant room for speculation Of all sorts, but no conclusions can De ar- rived at until an examination has been made by the divers and more facts ob- tained. It is a simple fact to say that such thing might happen by design or 1t might happen by accident. As yet there Is no indication of design. Therefore, my im- pression has been all along and rather think the general opinion predominates in the same direction, that IL must nave oeeii accidental
 "At-the cabinet meeting today the mat ter was not discussed, except as any body of men talk about an event of that Kind, and most of the. talk related to the terri ble loss of life and to expressions or sym pathy for the sufferers
 It Was Not Discussed
 .'It certainly was very kind thought in inc president to send flowers to the fami- lies of Capt. Sigsbee, of the executive offi- cer, Wainwright, and of the lost seamen, whose residences are in Washington.
 You may say absolutely that there has been no secret cabinet meeting, that noun ing has taken place in the cabinet that tne public have not been informed about, that the whole policy of this department mas been to give the public all the despatches' that the department has no more knowi- edge on the subject of the cause of the disaster or the circumstances attending It than have the public and that the report which was to the effect that Captain Sigs- bee had warned the department onat the Maine was in danger from submarine mines or torpedoes is utterly without foundation, mo such report ever having been received from him or from anybody else
 Continuous Denials
 The secretary also denied briefly and comprehensively wild rumors that he had requested the chdef pf police of New York

 Upon Navy Department

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Soon after the sen- ate met today, MT. Hale of Maine obtained the floor and introduced the following res- olution:
 ''That the secretary of the navy be and is hereby authorized to engage the services of a wrecking company having proper fa- cilities Nor the prompt and efficient per- formance of submarine work for the pur- pose of recovering the remains Of the om- cers and men lost on the battleship Maine, and saving the vessel or such parts there of and so much of her stores, guns, ma terial, equipment, fittings and appurte- nances as may be practicable; and for this purpose the sum of $200,O0O or so much thereof as may be necessary Is hereby ap- propriated and made immediately avail- able.
 Prepared by the Navy
 The resolution was prepared at the navy department and introduced at the request of Secretary Long, who, in forwarding it to MT. Hale, also sent a letter explaining It's purpose. He says in his letter:
 '.It was deemed proper and important that steps should be taken immediately to recover the remains of the officers and men lost on the occasion of this most de- plorable catastrophe; to raise the vessel or to save such parts of her armament and equipment as may be practicable"
 To this the secretary adds: "The mea- ger information received respecting the nature and extent of the injury sustained by the hull of the Maine renders it diffl- cult to determine at this time whether there is reason to hope that the vessel herself may be raised; but 1t seems prob- able. as she lies within the protection of } harbor aud is not wholly submerged,

to guard the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya, and that he had selected Constructor Bowles to go to Havana and raSe the Maine The last work of the day for him was to consult the representatives of the wrecking con- panies who probably will have charge of this work and endeavor to arrange for both of them to work together so as to secure the use of each particular plant and to save time.
 The secretary when asked what was the departments estimate of the conduct of Captain Sigsbee in the terrible situation in which he had been placed, repled:
 Complimentary to Slgsbee
 q think express the feeling of the president as well as my own, when I say that Capt. Sigsbee has conducted himself as an officer of our navy should. aHe was the last to leave his ship when she went down. His dispatch to me that night was so complete that, since then, have thought of no auction of fact to ask him which is essential to the situation and which he could answer which Is not cov- cred by that dispatch. Its tone, too, IS that of discreet and level-headed man who realized the impression any word from him at that time would have on the pub lie mind Nothing is harder than for na- val officer to lose his ship, so that I have great sympathy for him. l await with confidence further reports"
 Onicers' Bodies Not Found
 During the day the department was In receipt of a number of telegrams from different parts of the country asking in behalf of relatives of the dead sailors that their remains be brought back to the Unit ed States for interment. Among them were queries from friends of the two offi- cers. Merritt and Jenkins. The department forwarded these to Capt. Sgsbee. whose answer was that the officers bodies have not been found, that as to many of the oth- fc moi tlrOW- inc great doubt upon the practicability Of taking any of the remains away from Havana.
 While no decision has yet been reached formally upon the application of the span ;sb government for authorization to ex- . mine the wreck of the Maine to ascer- tain the cause of the explosion, the ofii- ciais seem inclined to regard her e''saS reeuess as one that could not properly be reIuseu and 1t is likely that each government VIII make an investigation of this character concurrently.

TO QUELL ANY DEMONSTRATION
That May Be Made Over the Cruisers ArrivaI-- The Battleshp is Being Guarded Close ly so no Stowaways Can Pos
 sibIy Get Aboard.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The Spanish ar- mored cruiser vizcaya is in New York waters She dropped her big anchors five miles south of Sandy Hook lightship at 5:30 p. m. after a thirteen days voyage from the Canary Islands. When her of- ficers and men learned the startling news of the disaster to the American battleship Maine in Havana harbor and of the down. fall of former Minister DeLome they broke into wild uproar of talk. For a couple of minutes all discipline on the great ship seemed to vanish to the winds.
 Men rushed below to tell their comrades in the lower decks. Early tomorrow morn. ing the Vizcaya will come to the anchor age selected for her in the upper bay.
 Heavily Guarded.
 Rear Admiral Bunce has given final in- structions to Lieut.. John A. Dougherty. who will have charge of the patrol tugs, six in number, to guard the Spanish cruiser during her stay in this vicinity. Each boat Is to have on board, while on watch, four marines and one non-commis- stoned officer of marines, a roundsman and four policemen of the metropolitan force While on duty the boats will patrol the waters carefully in the vicinity of the visiting Spaniard, and no boat or person will be allowed to approach the Vizcaya without the sanction of the commanding officer of that vessel. At night 1t is in- tended to keep the Vizcaya brilliantly il- luminated with electric lights, and the watch boats will be also we'll lighted SO that there can be no possible means of approaching the vessel without detection.
 Every policeman in this city is on duty today. Last night Chief McCullagh caused an order to be sent to all police captains notifying them to report back to their pre- fContinuS on Second Pagea

Wanted to Bear the Bodies

Previous to the funeral yesterday of the victims of the Maine disaster, a dele gation from the unfortunate concentrates expressed the wish to carry the bodies on their shoulders to the graves, as proof of their gratitude to the Americans, but Gen. Lee thanked them and said the bodies would be carried in the manner selected by the authorities. In front of the Albisu theater, on Reina and Belascoain avenues about four hundred concentrates joined Tn the procession, which, by that time had been increased by some 5000 persons of all classes.
