Relics On View,

Just in front of the cross were some very
interesting relics of the olden time of
churchmanship in Virginia and MARYLAND
The table and one of the chairs used by
the reporters were the original communion
table and chair of old Broad Creek Church
Prince Georges county, Maryland loaned
ny Mrs. George Washington Magruder
whose ancestor. Col. VIM. Lyles, inherited
the old Broad Creek mansion and was A
Vestryman of the church. These were pre-
sented to Mrs. Magruder by the vestry
some years ago in memory of her distin-
guished ancestor. OF the other two old
chairs, one was from Wakefield, the birth
place OF George Washington. owned by Mr.
MaSruder, who is a descendant of the
Washington family, and inherited the chair
IRON his greatgrandfather, Col. Wm. Au-
sustne Washington. TIE other was taken
from Mount Vernon, and was used by the
WaShingtons.
Properly speaking. the service yesterday
was the first to be celebrated as belonging
to the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul
which will soon be erected on the site.

Message to Sicard.
Secretary Long wired Admiral Sicard
today, after his consultation with Pres
ldent Mckinley, telling him briefly
what answer had been returned to Gen.
Lees application in behalf of the Span
lsh government for permission to ex-
anime the Maine He also instructed
the ADMIRAL to press forward as rapidly
as possible the work of survey upon
the Names hull and to have the court
OF inquiry proceed to Havana as
soon as possible.
1t Is scarcely expected at the depart
ment that any information of value as
TO the cause of explosion will be avail
able until the court has begun the for
NAL inquiry. The divers now at work
IN the wreck are understood to be en-
ployed in securing dead bodies and in

they would give any heed to the bottom
of the hull, buried as it probably is,
deep in mud.
The officials here intimate that the
discovery Of pieces of torpedoes is not
to be taken in itself as evidence Of an
outside attack upon the vessel, for it
is fully expected that of the eight tor-
pedoes on the Maine some were more
or less ruptured and scattered by the
explosion which destroyed the ship.

Without going beyond the limits Of
what was proper in the harbOr of a
friendly power. 1 always maintain pre-
cautions against attack. and the quar-
ter watch was ordered to have am
munition for the smaller guns ready to
hand, so that in the improbable event
of an attack on the ship it would have
been found ready. 1t was this ammu-
milton which exploded as the heat
reached it,"
Capt. Stgsbee and all the men and
officers here are very anxious for news
from the United States, as to public
opinion there. Their captain has done
what he can to calm the excitement in
the United States and to induce the
public to walt for the result of the
Official investigation before forming a
judgment as to the cause of the ex-
plosion.
AS the Olivette entered the harbor
early this morning the passengers
crowded to her upper decks, not to see
the long yellow forts and walls man
ned by soldiers, the beauties Of palm
crowned hills, or like sights new to
many eyes. All interest centers on the
first view of the wreck of the Inflated
battleship, and the sight was CHASTITY
enough when reached to satisfy all
who were DESTROYS of Witnessing hOr-
rOrS.
The wreck is the central figure Of
an otherwise bright picture and it is
sad and it is terrible. The huge mass
OF f1ame-charred debris forward looks
as though it had been thrown I'D from
a subterranean stOrehouse of fused &C.
ment, steel. wool and iron. Further
aft, one military mast protrudes at a
slight angle from the perpendicular,
while the poop, on which gathered the
band, offers a resting place for the
Workmen or divers.
OF the predominant white which
marks American Warships, not a
Vestige remains. In its place is the
blackness of desolation and death
1t is known that Lieut. Jenkins, who
is among the missing, was alive after
the explosion. A colored mess attend
ant, now at Key West, met Jenkins
running forward. He evidently
thought, in the confusion. that the
Maine had been fired on, and he was
rushing to the forecastle where was To-
Gated the six-inch gun of which he was
in charge
The United States flag is floating at
half mast from the poop of the Maine

ants are at work about the wreck under
the direction of Capt. Sigsbee. 1t APP

Capt. Sigsbee, II had not retired. I
was writing letters. I find it impossi-

is nothing in the former experience Of

plosiOn by.
after the first great shock-I can

donations L heard, not more than two

In such a structure as the Maine the
effects of such an explosion are not for
q moment in doubt.
Il made my way through the long
passa geway in the dark, cropping from
side to side. to the hatchway and
thence to the poop, being among the

as 1 recognized the officers l ordered
the high explosives TO be flooded, and

TO RAISE THE MAINE.
The Contract for the Work Not as
Yet Let.

Yet Let.
The contract for the work of saving
portions of the Maine and. if possible,
raising her was not closed today, al
though representatives of wrecking
concerns were in conference with navy
department officials throughout the
day. Capt. Lefnley, who will frame the
contract. said that progress had been
made toward understanding the gen.
eral planof operation, but final agree
ment had not been reached.
Until today the Merriam & Chapman
Wrecking company and the Boston
Tow Boat company have been alone in
the field and the department under
stood they had combined their infer
ests. This would have insured the GOV
eminent the double facilities of these
extensive Wreckers, and would have
given them the contract. But TODAY
the Luckenbach Wrecking company. Of
New York city. entered upon a compe-
tition for the work, and before the dav
closed it had made bid
The other concerns did not bid TODAY
put expect to do so Monday. The plan
proposed by them is to use the large
wrecking tug Orion. of the Boston com
pany, In conjunction with the powerful
cranes of the Merriam Company. IF
this plan is adopted, the Orion will
carry the wreQking material to Havana
and then serve in transporting the
heaVy turrets, guns and detachable
parts Of the Maine back to the Norfolk
navy yard, where it is proposed to as
semble the remnants of the ship.
The Luekenbach company proposes 2.
different plan. Their bid contemplates
the use of large, barges, hauled bv ocean
tugs. in bringing parts of the wreck to
Norfolk. In other respects the plan of
operations of all bidders is to assume
the entire work
A government official is to make gen.
eral inspection of the work as if pro
ceeds. The Luckenbach company claims
that the use of barges will cost one-
fourth less and will give better re-
suits. The tugs drawing the harees
make eight knots an hour the Orion
makes ten knots. This difference is
SAID TO be 1mmaterial, making a differ
ence of only two days in the time of
delivery at the Norfolk navy yard.
h u. Packard, a wrecking engineer
ana contractor, was present at the con-
ferences and urged that the contra ct
should be divided into two parts, first
the saving Of such parts as can be de-
tached. and second, the raising of the
null. He also made the point that the
removal of the Maine, as an obstruc-
tlon TO navigation, was a duty incum-
pent on this government and that the
cost OF that branch of the work would
De one-half as much as the cost Of
saving portions of the ship. The de-
partment is DESTROYS, however, of hav-
ing the work done a a whole and such
bid as is accepted probably will be on
that basis

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MED

4 Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Stomach
Troubles.

Troubles.
DR.. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There is
none which is certain to be so valuable
and far reaching in benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. the new stomach
remedy; | say far reaching, because
people little realize how important a
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Brights

liver troubles; why is this SO? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue
In our bodies is created and nourished

&c to lie for hours a sour. fermentng
mass of half-digested food. it poisons
the blood and nervous system, creates
gas which distends the stomach and
bowels. causing pressure on the heart
lungs and other organs and seriously
impeding their action.
He says further the point to direct
attention is not the nerves, nor heart
nor lungs, nor kidneys, but the stom-
ach, the first cause of all the mischief
The remedy to use for Indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic
but remedy which will digest the
food, increase the flow of gastric juice
absorb the gases, and. Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets will accomplish exactly this
result in any case of stomach trouble

WASHINGTON, Feb 19.-War ex-
cite ment is rather intensified tonight at
the national capital. The refusal of
President Mckinley to allow a joint
investigation of the injury to the Maine
to be conducted by American and Span
ish divers, is considered the most popu-
lar move yet made by the administra-
ton Stree the deplorable event hap
pened.
Those who know something of Span
ish diplomacy say that the Madrid gov
eminent. from now on, will endeavor in
every possible way to embarrass and
hamper the investigation.
If the investigation should prove that
the blowing up of the Maine was not
the result of an accident. Spain will
at once disclaim the findings in order
to avoid paying an indemnity 1t is
therefore, quite certain that both the
state and navy departments. and prob
ably congress, will soon find that the
policy of Spain is one to provoke rather
than to prevent hostilities. 81 5e
