Rumorcd That There is an Uprising in
Havana.

Rumored That There Is an Uprising in
Havana.
Key West. March 25.-The associated
press bulletin that the court of inquiry
has found that the Maine was blown
up by a submarine mine created in
tense excitement here. 1t was read by
eager crowds. which included Rear
Admiral Sicard. orderlies. captains and
young cadets. AS frequently stated in
these dispatches, most of the naval Of
ficers at Key West have held to the
opinion shared by all the officers of the
Maine that the warship was blown up
by external means. The minority. who
previous TO tp-day had expressed the
conviction that the court would be un-
able to determine the cause, was hard
to find. All were glad to know the
manner of the Names fate was not
due to the negligence of her officers.
Intense interest for further details is
manifested on all sides. Countless
opinionsf are offered as to the possi-
bility ofwar and arbitration. Until a
late hour tonight discussion was ram.
pant on ship and land as to the out
come.
The most significant development
that followed the announcement of the
courts report-a development known
to but few-was the sudden sailing of
the lighthouse tender Mangrove for
Havana. The Mangrove was lying
quietly at the dock, loading buoys, when
orders came about o'clock this after
noon for her to proceed with all haste
TO Havana and TO take on board all the
American officials i'm that city with the
exception of Consul General Lee. II is
feared that the knowledge of the
courts report has excited Havana's
population and brought the anti-Amer-
lean sentiment to a climax Officers of
high rank were still reticent.
Rear Admiral Scard, however. said:
THE court of inquiry brought in find
ings according TO what its members be-
lieved. Nothing could have made them
do otherwise If they had been able to
fix the responsibility. / feel sure they
would not have shirked this duty"
The attention of Rear Admiral Sicard
was drawn to the fact that Spain had
officially denied that Havana harbor
was mined He replied: IF Havana
harbor were mine, / should certainly
have mined 1t. The water there is
especially suited for such a method of
defense. Spain's denial had nothing to
do with the court of Inquiry. ] should
not believe statement that Havana
harbor was not mined. The court had
not yet been dissolved. 1t is barely
possible that more work may be re-
quired of IL: but this IL not probable
THE court of inquiry is composed of
splendid men. 1 am greatly satisfied
with their work. i hardly suppose that
much excitement will be caused by the
announcement of the verdict. as / am
under the impression that so per cent
of our own people were already con-
WINGED that the Maine was blown up
and I scarcely think their
ideas would have changed even IL the
court had reported otherwise
When the possibility of arbitration
and the ensuing ENHANCEMENT was
suggested to him, Rear Admiral Sicard
said: The Maine case is nothing in
with the Alabama claims
Then we were opposed by a powerful
rival: but now we are deal
ing with Spain"

No Di.quieting Dispatches.

Washington, March 25.-At the white
house IL was said that official adyices
did not bear out the suggestion of a
pending crisis in Havana, and that
there were no dispatches from there of
a disquieting nature. As to the move
ment of the Mangrove II was said that
her departure was merely in line with
orders issued several days ago to go to
Havana and return with the remaining
officers of the Maine now there"

SIBONEY, CUBA, Saturday, July 2,
Z p. M. by the Associated Press dis
patch boat Dauntless, via Port An
tonic and Kingston, Sunday, July 3,
2:50 p. m.-The fighting on the right of
our line this afternoon developed uneX-
pectedly and was for some hours, al
most as severe fighting as yesterday
(Friday) when General Lawton was as
saulting Ell Caney.
The Spanish made an attack in force
on our position, pouring in volley after
volley in quick succession and with re-
markable regularity. Our return fire
was certainly effective and continued
after the Spanish volleys had become
rarer and less heavy.
Meanwhile the batteries on Grimes
hill kept booming away at the middle of
the enemy's line, materially aiding the
thanking movement The shelling from
the Spanish fleet was less active and
apparently gave our left but little con-
Germ.
At this hour report has just reached
here that General Lawton, aided by
fresher regiments sent him earlier in
the afternoon, has turned the enemy s
where almost a hand -to-hand encounter
Is going on in the streets.
The situation when the Associated
Press correspondent left the front, as
shown in an earlier dispatch, was such
that the capture of the city tonight
Saturday would not be surprising, al
though General Shafter himself when
the correspondent left him three hours
ago, did not expect it.
General Shafter. however, sent word
this afternon to General Calixto Garcia
that the surrender of the city would
not be long delayed.
A conservative estimate by army men
not officials that our casualties
during yesterdays fighting were nearly,
II not quite, a Thousand, about 10 per
cent Of which were deaths.
To-day's casualties on the American
side were much lower because our
troops had been we'll entrenched the
night before.

courage of a very high order and it is
hard to say whether the splendid dash
and bravery Of the American advance

fense is the more admirable.
Both sides have learned to appreci-

their adversaries.
