Theodore Roosevelt has had a satisfac-
tory interview with Platt, and 1T seems
to be all settled that he is to be the next
candidate of the Republicans for governor
of New York. 1t must not be inferred,
however, that it is the interview with
platt that has settled the matter. The
Republican rank and file practically set
tied it some time ago. Platt has merely
fallen in with the procession.

CAN'T RAISE MAINE.
THE WARSHIP TOO FAR
GONE FOR THAT.
Naval Court of Inquiry Declares That It
Would Not BE Worth whIIe-Twenty
Mangled and MutIlated Bodies Re-
covered by tho Divers.

HAVANA, Feb. 96. The United
States naval board of inquiry contin-
ued yesterday taking the testimony of
the divers who have been working in
the wreck of the Maine. Those sent
here from the battleship Iowa and the
cruiser New York were examined.
The court has decided against any
attempt TO raise the ruined battleship.
The members are convinced that it
would be useless, as she could never
be kept afoat, and the Spanish au-
thorities here will be informed that if
they wish the wreck removed from the
harbor they must attend to the work
themselves. This decision gives a
better idea of the terrible havoc
wrought in the Maine than columns
of description could do
Twenty unknown bodies of the crew
were recovered from the wreck by
the divers yesterday. The bodies
were frightfully burned and mangled
and it may be impossible to ever iden-
tify some of them.
Holzer, who made such a brave
fight, died in the hospital to-day
The wreck of the Maine is slowly
but surely sinking into the mud.
Before the hull could be raised it
would be necessary to move the guns
and deck debris For lack of proper
appliances, practically nothing in this
line has been accomplished. Aside
from the officers cabin effects, the
salvage thus far has been pitifully
small The cloudy weather and rain
made the work of the divers unsatis-
factory yesterday and very little was
done.
Late yesterday the paymaster's safe,
with S22, 500 and his papers, was taken
from the wreck. Beyond this, no
statement is made as to the value and
nature of the contents.
The complaint is still made that the
electric lamps are of little use to the
divers, as the light is faint and uncer-
certain, and to hold them takes one of
the divers hands.

SPAIN Positive Denial of Mines In HR"
vana HarbOr Attracts Attention.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS The atten-
ton of naval officers has been strongly
attracted to the statement made by
represen tatives Of the Spanish govern
ment to the effect that there were no
mines or torpedoes of any kind in
Havana harbor 1t can be said that
this statement exactly agrees with
the inquiries that have been under
way for many months by agents OF
our government, for so far it is said
they have been unable to find the
slightest evidence of the existence of
any plan of defense in the harbor by
means of mines or torpedoes, much
less to locate them as has been re-
ported in some quarters OF course
the effect of this statement, If it is to
be accepted as conclusive on that
point, is almost certain to negative
the supposition that the disaster re-
suited from other than accidental
causes, as the almost unanimous tes-
timony of experts here, based on the
history of torpedo work, is to the
effect that no single torpedo of any
known type could have caused the
terrific wreck Of the Maine.
The government authorities were
to-day placed in possession of the in.
formation reaching Senior Du Bose,
charge d'affsires Of the Spanish lega.
ton, that no mines exist inside Of
