THE MAINE HORROR.
An Officer of the Battleship Talks
of the Occurrence.

HAVANA Feb. 16.-(On board the
Ward line steamer City of Washington)
One of the officers of the Maine SAID
to-day that at : o'clock last night all
the magazines on board the battleship
Maine were closed and the keys turned
over to Captain Sigsbee. The explosion
occurred al $40 p. M. The officers then
rushed on deck and assisted in lower
ing u boat and in trying to rescue the
men IN the water. The Spanish cruiser
AIphonso XII. which was anchored
close to the Maine, also lowered her
boats and saved thirty-seven of the
crew of the warship.
The officer said: Il was sitting with
two more of the officers in the mess
room when heavy explosion occurred.
Ii was so heavy that we understood
the ship was lost. We went on the up
per deck and found she had been badly
wrecked by an explosion, and she was
on fire and sinking All efforts Were
directed toward lowering the boats and
saving lives The Maine settled quick
ly on the bottom of the harbor. only
her upper works remaining above wa
ter. a number Of boats from the Span
ish warship Alphonso XII, and boats
from the Ward line steamer City Of
Washington came alongside and rem
dered assistance. Twenty-four men
who were slightly wounded We're car
ried on board the Alphonso XII, from
which place they Were taken to other
quarters. and after receiving valuable
assistance from the naval doctors sent
to the military hospitals"
This officer said the explosion oc-
CURED somewhere III the forward part
of the midship section Of the battleship.
Many of the crew who were below at
the time were unable to escape, and
those who succeeded in reaching the
upper decks saved their lives with
great difficulty with the assistance Of
the officers and men on watch.
At O'Clock in the morning, while
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press was going ashore, there was an
other terrible explosion At the same
time boats from the Spanish steamers
Colon and Mexico We're towing the men
ashore. Up 10 > q. m. fifty-seven men
and twenty -four officers had been ac-
counted for. Paymaster Ray said that
last Sunday there were 35i men on
his list all told.
Lieutenant Jenkins and Assistant En-
gineer Merritt are among those not ac-
counted for.
Lieutenant Blandin was on watch at
the time of the explosion

and knocked two holes in the deck

Chadwick. went on board the Alphonso
MI. in order to administer to the in
jured.
Captain Sigsbee informed the CORE
spondent OF the Associated Press that
he could not make a statement regard
ing the disaster until after an investi-
CATION.
The Spanish naval officer said Cap
tain Sigsbee was the last man to aban-
don the sinking ship, and that he re-

mock at s O'Clock, and heard three bells
strike. / don't remember anything
more until l felt myself turning over
and over and falling heavily upon the
deck through a mass OF smoke. I got

Spanish man-of-war Four more were
picked up by the same boat. They were
Daniel Cronin, a landsman: Charles
Bergman, boatswain; Albert John,
seaman, and Boomer, landsman."
One poor fellow whose face was in
iured past all recognition was lying in
a cot in the hospital. / asked him his
name and he mumbled back through
horribly swollen lips: My folks would
feel uneasy if / told YOU
So far as l can learn now the explo-
sion took place in the magazine used
for the storage of gun cotton for the
torpedoes The vessel lies with her
bows wholly submerged, and only a
part of her stern showing. The explo-
sion which shook the city from one end
to another, created the widest excite
ment All the electric Ishts were put
out by the shock. Fire engines rushed
madly from one quarter TO another,
and no one knew for certain from
which direction the explosion came.
Consul General Lee, who was at the
Hotel Inglaterra, received q telephone
message from General Blanco telling
him that the Maine had been blown up.
General Lee FASTENED to the palace,
where the Cabinet is now assembling.
Vice-Consul Springer has just assured
me that all the officers were saved ex-
cept Jenkins and Merritt, who are
missing. Mr.. Springer says at least 300
lives We're lost.
CAPTAIN Sigsbee was on deck when
the explosion came 1t was in the bow

the explosion:
II was in my bunk. When got on

was a good strong breeze. The call 10Y
all hands on deck was promptly obeyed,
and the men and officers were perfectly
cool. All possible efforts were MADE 70

flames spread rapidly, and several ex-
blossoms occurred. A magazine was

not wounded of the survivors. 1t was
found necessary to do this, owing to the
great number of pitiful appeals for in
formation as to the safety of unfortu-
mates or the Maine that came from all
parts of the country.
The naval constructors, in light or
the dispatches thus far received, say it
is by no means certain that the Maine
cannot be raised and again carry the
flag They say that while she is a big
ship, others as large have been raised,
and at Havana the new floating dry
dock would receive her if she could
once be gotten above water.
Captain Sigsbee evidently is taking
an interest in the future of the ship,
for he sent a telegram to Commander
Forsyth at Key West, that was prompt
" transmitted to Secretary Long, sug-
costing that lighthouse vessel or some
such small craft be stationed in Ha-
vana harbor to watch over the wreck.
The latter, even if beyond resurrection,
contains valuable ordnance and other
property that doubtless can be secured
by divers.
1t is said at the Navy Department
that this disaster is the greatest OF
the kind in naval history since the
sinking of the big British warship Vic
toria by collision with the Camperdown
NTol
1893. BY that accident the British Ad-
miral commanding, twenty-five officers
