IT was the most disastrous confiagration

The plant occupied half of a square and

an army Of employees. who rushed fran

Many made their way TO terra firma via

men were all but miraculous.
After a hard fight. lasting four hours
the flames were finally conquered.
Reports TO the effect that many persons

mark, ranging from 100000 to 100000

THERE WAS FOUL PLAY.

Already Renched n Decision as TO
the Cause of the Disaster-The
Court Decides 1t Would Be Useless

Company Wants $2,OOO,OOO to Do
the work.
New York, Feb. 25.-The Mail and FIX
press this evening prints the following.
dated Havana, to-day:
The United States naval board of in
quiry continued to-day taking testimony
of the divers who have been working in
the wreck of the Maine. Those who we're
sent here from the battleship Iowa and
cruiser New York were examined.
''While, of course, the members of the
court will not talk for publication, am
Informed, on the highest authority, that
the evidence of Diver Morgan as to the
condition of the Maine shows, almost be-
yond the possibility of a doubt, in the opin-
ion of my informant, that the Maine was
blown up by an outside agency.
Furthermore, Morgan's report was veri-
fed by the other American divers who de-
scended to-day.
THE court will finish its work here to-
morrow and proceed at once to Key West
to take the testimony of the survivors
there. It has also been decided not to re-
turn to Havana, all the information as to
the cause of the disaster obtalnabe here
having already been secured. 1t is believ-
ed that decision has been practically
reached. The witnesses yet to be exam
ined will hardly change the verdict.
THE court has decided against any at
tempt to raise the ruined battleship.
'"The members are convinced that 1t
would be useless, as she could never be
kept afloat, and the Spanish authorities
will be informed that if they wish the
wreck removed from the harbor they must
attend to the work themselves. This de-
cision gives a better idea of the terrible
| havoc wrought in the Maine than columns
| of description could do
THE Merritt Wrecking Company, it was
announced to-day, wanted 100000 to
raise the wreck The companys represen-
tatives made this demand after viewing
| the condition of the ship.
"The wreckers to-day turned their at
tention to saving the great guns. These
at least can be recovered in sufficiently
| good condition to warrant the effort.
Twenty unknown bodies of the crew
were recovered from the wreck by the
divers at noon to-day. The bodies were
| frightfuny burned and mangled and it
may be impossible 10 ever identify some
! of them.
"Holzer. who made such a brave fight,
| died in the hospital to-day.
"All the wounded viii leave here SUM-
| day on the Bache for Key West. The
| physicians consider it safe to move them
| now"

BLOWN UP FROM BELOW.
Aa Ensign Alleged to Have Found
Conclusive Evidence.

New York. Feb. 25.-A special to the
Herald from Havana says:
"There is no longer any reason to doubt
that the explosion which wrecked the
Maine came from underneath the vessel,
and that her magazines had nothing to
do with the initial explosion and played a
much smaller part in the general disaster
than was at first supposed.
1.-The evidence that has served to con-
vince the board was obtained by Ensign
Powellson the officer attached to the
Fern.
Ensign Powellson was formerly in the
construction corps and took a two-years'
special course in the Glasgow School Of
Naval Architecture. He is, therefore,
competent witness.
what he discovered was that the for
ward part of the keel of the Maine, with
it's ribs and plates was stove upward so
far that parts of the shattered double
bottom show out of the water and in
places sections of the green painted outer
hull are visible.
"Corroborative Of the evidence given by
Ensign Powellson and of equal significance
and Importance is the result of the close
examination made by the divers. What
came from a point beneath the keel
"A plumb line dropped from a point Just
forward of the coming tower would have
laid the lead exactly on the spot where
the explosion occurred that hove the keel
and plates and ribs almost to the surface.
'@The main force of the explosion seems
to have been exceedingly slight on the port
side of the vessel. This is consistent with
the facts hitherto ascertained."
4 afot
contents Of the reserve 6-inch magazine
were exploded by the initial blast, and
there was no explosion in either of the
other two.
IN the reserve magazine was slowed
$500 pounds of powder in copper tanks
each OF which contained 200 pounds. Sew
en- Of the tanks have been found by the
divers. all in crushed and shapeless
masses 1t is important to note that in
the 6-lnch and lO-inch tanks recovered
the excelsior used for packing the charges
shows no injury from flame or gases.
1.-THE powder slowed in the 6-inch re-
serve magazine was for fowling pieces on
lv. The magazine itself appears to have
been utterly destroyed, only few traces
having been left to show the spot where
It was once located.
''The under part of the ten-inch maga-
zine is wholly inaccessible to divers. In the
upper part IS ughtly WeuSed mass OF
powder cylinders, too heavy for divers to
extricate, but apparently containing ex-
ploded charges of powder.
1.-THE Dow torpedo tube of the Maine has
been located in the wreck. IL lies in the
debris forward submerged several feet un-
der water.
"The hull is now imbedded in the mud to
the depth of eight feet. The divers sink to
their arm pits In the mud and have the
greatest difficulty in prosecuting their
work. Those engaged in the forward part

NO MINES IN HAVANA HARBoR.
Senior DubOsc Denies the Truth of n.
story Much Discussed.

OISCuSEG0.
Washington, Feb. 25.-In view of the
widely published report that the harbor
of Havana contains of a system Of subma-
rine mines, a statement which has cen
tered the chief public interest in connec-
tion with the disaster to the Maine, Senior
Dubosc, Spanish charge d'affaires at
Washington, tonight made to the Asso-
ciated Press the following statement,
which, coming from authority, may be
considered as am official denial:
Il wish to state, on my own official
knowledge, that no mine exists inside or
outside of Havana harbor, nor is there
any submarine defense of any kind.
THE report is so absolutely false and
ridiculous that it could only have orlgi-
mated in the minds of those persons anx-
ious to incite the evil passions of both ma
tions for their own miserable ends.
Il consider the very suggestion OF such
a thing an insult to Spain"

ITALY NOT PUSHING HAYTI..
HnytIan Minister mt washington
DiscredIts a London Dispatch.

Washington. Feb. 25.-The report contain

that Italy had decided upon energetic
measures to force reparation for the al
legged Illegal sequestration Of an Italian
vessel at Port au Prince, is discredited at
the Haytien legation here.
Minister Leger said tonight that his
government had not Informed him that any
difficulty with Italy had grown out of the
affair. He was confident that If a situation
was as. grave as indicated by the London
report existed he would have been noti-
fed
II am inclined to believe" he said, "that
the revival of this report. which was
set in circulation about month ago is
inspired by the opponents of HaytPs pro-
posed adoption of the gold standard. To
the same source I think may be traced
the reports of riots and disturbances in
