DEATH OF FRANK y. FosTEB.
Occurred Yesterday in Laramie, Wyo.
 Member of Party of Gold Seekers.

Occurred Yesterday in Laramie, Wyo.- Member of Party of Gold Seekers.
 A telegram was received late yester- day afternoon by relatives in this city announcing the death in Laramie, wyo., of Frank w. Foster. son of
 Mrs. Emily s. Foster of 73 Kensington street, widow of Watson D. Foster. Mr. Foster started about nine days ago with party of four, consisting of
 himself, his brother, Leighton Foster,
 his uncle, A. E. Bradley, and Ralph J. Kirby, for the gold mines near Raw
 lings, Wyo. A telegram was received
 Tuesday saying that MT. Foster was
 sick and the next heard from the party
 was the telegram received yesterday
 afternoon by George K., Foster, 8
 brother of Frank w., saying that the
 latter had died and that the body was
 on the way home. The telegram also
 stated that the remainder of the party
 would accompany the remains home. From the information contained by the telegram it is thought that the cause of
 MT. Fosters death was pneumonia. Mir. Foster was about thirty years of age and was unmarried. He left the em- ploy of the Greist Manufacturing com- pany to start on the western trip. He leaves besides his mother, three sisters and three brothers, the latter being George K, chief clerk at p. Hewitt 6 Co.'S drug store, Scott L., and Leigh ton, who was with him when he died.

 Boston, Feb. 16-Rear Admiral George E. Belknap, U. s. N, retired, was seen here this morning. He stat ed that he was inclined to think that the Maine was blown up by torpedo. T do not see," he said, "how any ex- plosion of the forward magazine could have occurred. The keys of the maga- zines are always kept in the custody of the captain. All the ammunition is carefully cased, mostly in the form of projectiles, and their explosion by themselves is next to impossible. If, as the dispatches state, the whole bow of the ship was blown off, it is ap- parent that the explosion could not have been caused by the boilers, or the coal getting heated I do not see how it could have occurred rom the paint room, as every precaution is taken to prevent the collection of explosive gases in the paint room, and if such an explosion occurred it would have been more likely to cause fire than to destroy the ship" Rear Admiral Bell knap said it was @ very significant thing that the Maine should have been blown up in that particular harbor at this particular time. In the absence of information as to the cause of the ex- plosion, he though that was the most significant indication in the whole mat ter

Address of Henry c. Rowe Before Come
 mittee at Washington.
 The joint committee selected by va- rious organizations to appear before the national committee on rivers and harbors in favor of granting by cons gress of an appropriation for the in1- provement of New Haven harbor, In accordance with the recent memorial of the chamber of commerce on the sub- ject and the bill introduced in the house by Congressman Sperry in behalf of the city, were in Washington on Mon day and Tuesday of this week. They had two sessions with the committee and made a very favorable impression on the members.
 Henry c. Rowe made an exhaustive speech before the committee. After saying that he had been acquainted with the New Haven harbor since boy hood, calling attention to the cramped room in the harbor and narrowness of the channel. that 3,s25 vessels entered by actual count in 1895, he said in part:
 l beg leave to call your attention to a list which I have had printed with the memorial which we present to you, of vessels of a greater draft of water than the present depth of our harbor. This list includes 1S0 three, four and five masted schooners, four barks and

WORK OF TIT F SPANIARDS.
Opinion of Counsel for the Cuban Junta in New York.

New York, Feb. 16.-Horatio s. Ru- bens, counsel for the Cuban junta, says: Taking everything into consid- eration I am firmly convinced that that tragedy in Havana harbor was the work of the Spaniards. It is well known that there has been very bit ter feeling among the Spaniards in Cu- ba against the Maine. Canalejas's own paper, the Heraldo, has repeatedly stated that the presence of the Maine was menace to peace and it was to the editor of this paper that DeLome wrote his famous letter. At a bull fight in Cuba a week ago Sunday the Spaniards openly insulted men from the Maine, and the feeling against them has gradually grown to be very bitter. It would have been comparatively easy to place a torpedo under the Maine. If any Spaniards did it they certainly acted in connivance with the Spanish government"

NEVIS FROM MADRID.
First Feared That the Disaster Was Due

First Feared That the Disaster Was Due
 to Act of Imprndence.
 Madrid, Feb. 16.-The following semi-official note has been issued "The news of the disaster of the Maine has cause a painful impression in Madrid. It was at first feared that there had been some act of imprudence to which the catastrophe was attributable. Af- forwards, as the details arrived, the fears dispelled took the form of feelings of sympathy and sorrow for the mis- fortune which has occurred. The cap- tain general, the commandant of the arsenal the sailors of the cruiser AL fonso XIII, the crews of the merchant vessels, and all the available forces has hastened to succor the injured"
 The government has expressed to Minister Woodford the regret it feels at the catastrophe, more especially as it occurred in waters within Spanish Jurisdiction. An admiral in full uni form, in the name of the minister of marine and the entire Spanish cabinet, called on General Woodford to-day and informed him that the government had teIegraphed to the authorities in Cuba to do their utmost to relieve the dis tress of the injured and to furnish the ocers and crew Of the Maine with ev- erything which they may need.
 The Epoca says: Whatever the re- 1ations between Spain and the United States, Christian feelings and human ity compel us to regret the catastrophe. The spectacle of so many lives sud- denly launched into eternity inspires compassion"
 Tn e Heraldo remarks: sAlthough the Americans try to represent us as a people devoid of virtues, we must face this hc-.-=.hle misfortune sincerely and express feelings of compassion"
 The Heraldo says: Tn the face of provocative Americans we shall always remain a proud people; but in the face of men in misfortune, of whatever na- tionality, our hearts are always full of pity"

Princeton, N. J., Feb. 16.-Ex- Presi- dent Cleveland this afternoon said: "I am greatly shocked and mortified at the lamentable disaster to the battle ship Maine. and sincerely hope that later information may serve to miti- gate it's horrifying details. I was not personally acquainted with any of the ships crew. but greatly regret that our navy should suffer the loss of such a ship and that so many lives had to be sacrificed. Of course l could not ex press an opinion as to whether the dis aster was due to accident or Spanish design, as nothing but most meagre particulars have reached me. I sin cerely hope, however, that investiea- tion will show that 1t was accident. pure and simple"

Due to Accident.

Boston, Feb. 16-There was but one sentiment expressed at the navy yard this morning In relation to the disas- ter to the battleship Maine. It was a feeling that it was due to accident and to no other cause. This accident, for I cannot consider it other than an acci- dent" said one of the officers, recalls the blowing up of the British gunboat Dotterell in the Straits of Magellan a few years ago. How 1t happened was never known and never will be known. That the bow was blown to pieces is no indication that the explosion came from without"

London Comment.

London, Feb. 1.-The Daily News, commenting on the disaster to the United States warship Maine, says: "The disaster reaches the very extrem- ity of Europe. The public feeling, shocked by this calamity, will be well to initiate the restraint imposed on that of the United States by both the Wash ington government and the captain of the ill-fated ship. For suspicious of foul play there seems to be absolutely no warrant, though naturally they haunt the minds of many Americans. They should be entertained only on ab- solute conditions. The attitude of Spain at this moment will be watched with interest. It sends pang to every heart''
 The Morning Post expresses the hope that certain American senators who have allowed themselves to talk rather wildly will now express their real thoughts.
 The Times expresses profound sym pathy with the United States with ref erence to "certain ominous opinions heard in America" It says: "Fortu- nately for America and for the world, the United States is not governed by persons of this type. So far not only the government, but the people of America and Spain, have acted with good sense, good feeling and dignity. It is to be hoped that the investiga- ton will prove the cause of the explo- sion an accident"
