STORY OF A CUBAN CLUB
Tale of n Spanish Plot Which Does Not
Seem Probable-will be In
vcstIgated.

Key West, Feb. 27.-The latest story
as to the way the Maine was blown
up is contained in letter forwarded
by Il secret Cuban club in Havana to
j. M. Gown, n Cuban insurance agent
here. The club received 1t in the or
binary course of mail. 1t was written
In English but was signed "Maqulnis-
Ia" (Machinist)
After a long preamble saying that
the writer knew the Names fate
was due to u Spanish plot, the letter
goes on to say that in an old ware
house at Santa Catalina, 200 yards
from where the Maine was moored,
some diving apparatus had been hid
den. and that from this base two
divers had worked by night and filled
the torpedo holes of the Maine with
dynamite cartridges, connected with a
battery on the land, by which the cart
ridges were exploded. According To the
letter, the divers were to have been
paid a large sum, which has not been
forthcoming.
The Cubans in Key West say that
| the Investigation in Havana has tended
| to confirm the statements of the letter,
which will go before the court of In
| quiry.
An officer of the Maine, whose at
| tention was called to the story today
| asserted positively to the correspond
ent that the torpedo holes of the
| Maine had not been opened during
| her stay in the harbor.

UNCLE SANS MILITARY STRENGTH.
IO.OT3,55G Men are Available for Service
in Time of War.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington, d. c.,
says:
According to report placed before
President Mckinley, there are now
available for military duty in the
United States 10.O73576 able-bodied
men. and of these 9,0S2 are already in
the militia, forming the nucleus of Il
tremendous fighting force. This is
without considering the skeleton Unit
ed States army, which could on short
notice recruit up to 100000.
There was. at the close of 1896, Or
ganized guards in every, state and ter
ritory. except Alaska and Indian Ter
ritory, all of whom could he used for
achieve service in case of necessity. of
the total force of 1000, there are 100,-
900 in the infantry branch, 5000 in the
cavalry, 5000 In the artillery. and about
1000 general officers. Camps were held
last year In many states ut which We're
present from 4G per cent of the state
forces in Texas. to 96 per cent in Con-
necticut. The total appropriations
made by the United States for militia
was 100000. while the various states
spent about s2.S00,000
1t IL estimated that the time required
for concentrating for service would
vary from six hours In Nevada to three
days in Oklahoma, while the proportion
that would probably turn out for duty
ranges from 80 per cent'in Indiana and
New Jersey to IS per cent in Pennsyl-
vana.
New York is far ahead so far as the
size of her national guard is concerned,
having over 1900 officers and men.
Pennsylvania is second with 5000 and
Illinois holds third place with 5000,
