Today Regarding the De-
structiOn of the
Maine.
EVIDENCES DISCOVERED
Which Indicate the Planning OF the
Explosion by Spanlards-Sea-
men Say Spontaneous Com
bustion Is the Most I'm
probable Cause.

The following specials have
been received here today over
the private wire of K. F, Daz-
& Co. and give additional details
of the Maine horror at Havana: ::
Key West. Fla. Feb. To-
The correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press has been assured
from reliable quarters that Cap
tain Sigsbee is under the I'M
preston that the warshlp Maine
was blown up by floating tor
pedOes. That he has cOmmun-
lcated his impression to Wash
lngton, asking at the same time
that the navy department send
naval engineers and mechanics
to investigate the explosion.
The Plant line steamer Olivette
did not leave Havana until 3
O'Clock this evening, and did
not reach here until shortly
after 10 o'clock. No one not in
uniform was allowed to go on
board. The correspondent saw
Purser Denison of the Olivette
who gave the following brief
account:
1.-The explosion is an absolute
mystery 10 everyone. 1t oc-
CURED in forward magazine,
which is just forward of amid
ship and below the water line.
According to custom, the maga-
zine was inspected at s O'Clock
III the evening and the temper
atura was found to he 81 de-
grees. The magazine was lock-
ed and the keys given to Cap
tain Sigsbee. The men went to
their hammocks in the forward
part of the ship soon after 9
O'Clock. The explosion took
place at $40, hence the awful
and overwhelming loss of life.
No one can yet give a corrected
account. The explosion split
the ship in two"

STARTLING DISCOVERY.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE AS
sociated Press reports from Key
West the discovery of an s irch
percussion hole in a plate of the
Maine.
Washington, Feb. 17.-There
was no smOkeless powder on the
ship and the ammunition was
made up of crown prismatic
powder. Not only is this powder
most carefully packed in her
metically sealed copper casses,
but its heat resisting qualities
are so great that it cannot be
ignlted by the flames Of a
match. 1t takes 600 degree of
fahrenheit to set it off. On the
other hand it is readily
ignited, as in case of the charge
in gun, by the explosion of a
good quantity of illuminate.
Every precaution is adopted
aboard ship to guard the maga-
zine.
In its vicinity stands a sentry
on continual duty. The doors
are closed hermetically except
when the ship is cleared for ac-
ton. These facts make it ex-
tremely difficult to account for
the explosion, particularly as
no visitors are allowed under
any circumstances to go near
the magazine. OF course, it is
possible that there was spon-
taneous combustion of some
illuminate or gun cotton intend
ed for use in torpedoes. There
were no steam pipes or furnaces
near enough the magazine to
cause the belief that they might
have exploded the powder.

says that after the explosion,
every few minutes a shell
would burst.
Washington. Feb. 17.-It is
rumored that the government
has taken charge of the cable
to Cuba for the purpose pre-
venting transmission of sensa-
tional news.

English suspicion Aroused.

London, Feb. 16.-The Globe
this afternoon, commencing on the
disaster to the United States battle
ship Maine says:
1t is impossible to refrain from
the suspicion that the explosion
may have been caused by foul
means. Although anchored the
Maine would have had steam up in
one of her boilers, for the dynamOs
and auxiliary machinery. If an
Internal machine had been hidden
in the coal and thrown into the
furnace, obviously there would
have been an explosion of the
boiler, and as a result of maga-
zine That this terrible event
should have occurred in the harbor
of Havana, renders a solution of
the mystery of international i'm
portance.'

ing that the cause of the explo-
sion could be ascertained only
by divers, but many sailors
were out spoken in declaration
of the belief that the explosion
was a deep laid plot of the
Spaniards. They are greatly
incensed against Havana peo-
pie who showed them small
courtesy and looked upon their
presence as a national affront
and who have published anony-
nous circulars captioned
Down with Americans"
They believe that the authors
of such express and cowardly
hatred would not stop at an act
of such terrific vengeance as
the blowing up of the Maine.
These sailors acquainted with
the drills and discipline ensem
ble of men-of-war. pooh-pooh
the idea of an internal explosion
as the last thing to be thought
of.
One of the men said: 1T is
we'll known there has been a
very bitter feeling among the
Spaniards in Cuba, against the
Maine. Canelyas' own paper,
the Heraldo. has repeatedly
stated that the presence of the
Maine was a menace to peace.
1t was the same editor of this
paper, it will be remembered,
to whom DeLome wrote his fa-
nous letter.
At a bull fight in Cuba Sun
day a week ago, the Spaniards
openly insulted men from the
Maine.
1T would have been easy to
plant a torpedo under the
Maine, because our men are
constantly passing back and
forth in those waters to es-
cape the surveillance ofauthor-
ity. Now if our men could do
so why. could not the Span
iardsi If the act was a malic-
ious one, it was not the work of
any one man, for no one man
could get together sufficient ex-
plosives to blow a ship like that
sort to pieces.
IF any Spaniard did it they
certainly acted in connivance
with the Spanish authorities.
| feel certain it was not the
work of the Cubans because If
they wanted to blow anything
up, they would have directed
their faces toward Spanish yes
sells or Weyler long before this.

Shot the Dog.

Pond Creek, O. T., Feb. 16-At
about $50 o'clock yesterday after
noon an ugly tempered bull dog
belonging to Deputy Sheriff Fred
Godfrey. it is claimed, interfered
with Constable Ralph Stewart at
the door of his house. Stewart in
stantly got his winchester and shot
the dog and closely following this
shot came another from the pistol
of Deputy Sheriff Fred Godfrey,
directed at Stewart, but missed the
mark. Stewart lodging into the
house. 1t seems that Godfrey was
at the Office of the County Clerk
near by and saw Stewart shoot the
dog.
A crowd soon gathered, taking
sides, and indulging in loud, bois-
ferrous talk, the general opinion
being that both men were unneces-
sarily hot headed and hasty. Two
complaints were soon made against
A-r. Godfrey in violation of certain
city ordinances. 1t is expected
that the matter will also go to the
Grand Jury.

OUR TRADE WITH JAPAN.
Attempt to Arouse the Interest of
American Manufacturers.

New York, Aug. 1S.-A Shizuo Kondo,
president of the REPRESENTATION
Commercial and Industrial association,
with headquarters at Toxic, Japan, is
in America attempting to interest
American manufacturers in the posi-
bilities of trade with Japan, which, he
declares, has been gaining wonderfully
each year since 1880, and holds forth
these exceptional inducements to Amer
lean exporters. If the American eX-
porter knew the real conditions OF the
Japan field, Mr.. Kondo says confidently,
American exports to japan would in
crease enormously. American head
quarters have been temporarily estap-
llshed IL this city.
When japan was opened by the
United States in 1854" Mr.. Kondo said
last night, "she took the position of
an elder sister, and we have always so
regarded her. We have exported to the
United States more than. to any other
nation. But we do not find that the
United States exports to Japan in equal
ratio Until about 1890 we bought little
from the United States. We had heard
that wages and the cost of living were
comparatively high here. So we con-
clrded that manufactured articles must
be high priced. Until about 1890, also.
the United States did not take much
interest in the possibilities of our mar
kets Its merchants were contented
with the domestic trade"
Japanese exports TO America have
increased 65 per cent sin se 1896, Mr..
Kondo says. Last yea they amount
ed to S26, 21S.202 Almost an equsl in
crease in the American export trade
into Japan has been noticed the last
two years. In 1896 the United States
exported to Japan to the amount of
SS.1e8, S04; in 1897 the figures were $1S,-
81, PCS Only Great Britain, China and
British India made sales as large in
1897, and in neither case was the in
crease in imports as large. The total
Increase in imports from all parts of
the world from 1896 to 1897, were % per
cent. The gain of Great Britain was
only 20 per cent.
1--WE can buy from the United States
just as much or more than we export
to her." Mr.. Kondo said.
