The Worlds Havana Correspondent Claims to
Have Proof That the Maine was
Blown up by the Spanish.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia copyright

from Sylvester Scovel. under to-days

says.
The concensus of opinion Of those
who have studied the wreck closely
is now that the explosion was caused
by Il submarine mine. The forward
magazine, it Is now generally sup
posed is intact, also the forward
a few saluting charges and a few
small caliber shells in the pilot house
which could have possibly exploded
aboard the ship. At the same time
the fearful damage is too big for
any but an extremely large torpedo.
If it were u torpedo the divers will
find the torpedo fragments; but II 1t
were a submarine mine, no trace will
be found.
"All the American officers are Inter
nally boiling. There Is not one of
them from Captain Sigsbee down,
who Is not fairly convinced a SUBJ

One poor fellow whose face was in
jured past all recognition, was lying
on cot in the hospital. / asked
him his name and he mumbled back
through horribly swoolen lips "my
folks would feel uneasy if l told you"
So far as l can learn now, the explo-
sion took place in the magazine used
for storing gun cotton for torpedoes.
The vessel lies with her bows wholly
submerged and only part of the
stern showing. TheexplosiOn which
shook the city from one end to the
other, created the widest excitement.
All electric lights were put out by
the shock. Fire engines rushed
madly from one quarter of the city
to another, and no one knew for GER
tain from which direction the explo-
sion came. Consul General Fitzhugh
Lee, who was at the hotel Ingla-
terra, received a telephone message
from General Bianco telling him that
the Maine had been blown up. Lee
hastened to the place where the cab
met is now assembling. Vice-Con-
sui Springer has just assured me that
all officers were saved except Jenkins
and Merritt, who are missing.
Springer says at least 800 lives were
lost
Captain Sigsbee was on deck when
the explosion came. 1t was in the
bow of the vessel. The sentry sta
toned at the bow was unhurt. He
had seen nothing suspicious. 1 have
talked with some of the rescued sea-
men and officers. One officer said:
II was in my bunk. When got on
deck a fire had started forward. A
call for all hands ON deck was
promptly obeyed and the officers
were perfectly cool. All possible 'ef-
forts were made to check the fire but
without avail"

WOOL EXHIBITS.
w ooI Men Should Assist Commissioner Suth-
eriin In His Efforts to Make Q Credit
able Display.

In endeavoring to secure an ex-
hibit OF the products of Montana for
the Mississippi international
exposition, which opens in Omaha
next June, L mailed letters to some
thing over 400 wool growers in the
state, asking them to contribute one
or more choice fieeces to be used in
the exhibit. l agreed to receive the
wool and take care of it through the
exposition and either return 1t or its
value to the owner at the close of
the same. About 4 per cent OF the
letters sent out elected replies, and
have no doubt that quite a number
of wool growers saved fieeces, but
overlooked the matter of notifying
me.
My object in writing this is to
state that / am now ready to re-
ceive the wool from all those who
have saved suitable fieeces for the
exhibit, and / request that the wool
be shipped to me within the next
three weeks, SO as to reach me not
later than March 10.
Those wool-growers living in
northern and western Montana may
ship the wool to my address at
Helena; those living in Fergus
county and western Meagher county
may ship to me at White Sulphur
Springs; those living in Park, Sweet
Grass, Yellowstone, Custer, and
Dawson counties may ship to me at
Billings. 1 will receive the wool at
those points and pay all freight
charges and handle the same to the
very best advantage of the owners.
In preparing the wool for shipment
please make a tag giving the name
and address of the owner, the breed,
and age of the sheep from which the
fleece was taken. Wrap the fleece In
sacking and pack well in u box.
Yours respectfully.

THE MAINE DISASTER.
The Nation Awaiting the Result
of Official Inquiry.
THE GRAPHIC ACC0RMT OF A SEAMAN.
Opinions of Prominent Officers at
Variance but the Accident Theory
Is Temporarily Accepted.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE gov
ernment has settled back into a
waiting attitude in respect to the
terrible marine disaster in Havana
harbor. The great shock caused by
the news has given way to a calmer
and more judicial state OF mind, and
realizing from the events of the day
that the court of inquiry is the sole
dependence In the search for the
cause of the Maine disaster, the ma
val office IL now resigned to await
the result OF that inquiry by a court
opened today by the navy depart
ment.
There was little news to add to
the sum of Information as to the
disaster during the afternoon. No
kilograms came and all that could
be CLEANED was a denial of some alb
surd story or other that had crept
into print or became current gossip.
All the news of the day came In the
late afternoon, in the shape OF Cap

Weyier's Talk.

BERCELoNIA. Feb. 17.-Lieut. Gen.
Valeriano Weyler, who arrived here
this afternoon. expressed the opinion
In the course of an interview that
the disaster which had befallen the
United States ship in Havana har-
Dor was "due to the insolence Of her
crew." He announced his intention
to ask the governments permission
to go to Havana and stand as a
for the chamber OF depu-
ties for the Havana district.

been given carte blance to buy any
and everything necessary, food. deli
cacies and hire of nurses and physi-
clans. The wounded able to get
across to Key West will be taken
care of by the Marine hospital there.
The sound survivors will be quar-
tered in the Spanish army barracks
there.
AS for the Maine herself, notwith-
standing discouraging reports from
Lieutenant Hood as to her condition,
the navy department will make the
effort to raise her. While it is re-
quired by every creditable sentiment,
they say they are required to remove
the hull from the harbor and 1T may
be as easy to raise her as it would
be to destroy the hull by the use of
divers and dynamite. This work
can he done by private wrecking
corporations and negotiations are
already afoot for placing the con-
tract, based on work by the day, at
an estimate of 500. 900. At the navy
department special denial was given
OF the report eminating from Madrid
that a torpedo fiotilla was about to
leave Key West for Cuba. 1t was
stated that only two torpedo boats
the Cushing and the Ericsson, are at
Key West, and these have not been
ordered and will not be ordered, ac-
