There is no evidence that the people OF this

THEY CANNOT AGREE.
Naval Officers Opinions Differ in Relation
to the Cause.

Washington, Feb. 16.-At this mo-
ment naval officers cannot agree upon
any theory to account for the destruc-
tion of the Maine. Perhaps q majority
are inclined to the belief that the ex-
ploson was purely accidental Another
considerable number feel that torpedo
was exploded under the vessel and
third theory is that some Internal ma
chine was smuggled aboard the ship and
set off. In the present lack of knowledge
it is not thought possible to say to which
theory the balance of probability in
clines. An examination by diver of the
hull of the Maine would demonstrate
instantly whether or not a torpedo had
been used.
There was no smokeless powder on
board the ship and the 10-inch ammuni-
ton was made up of brown prisfnatic
powders. Not only Is this powder most

copper cases, but its heat resistance
