CARING FOR THE WOUNDED.
Condition of the Injured at Key West
-RumOrs and Theories.

KEY WEST. Fla, Feb. 1.-THE reports
on the condition of the wounded sailors
of the Maine are favorable, except in the
case of Patrick Foley, who may die. Every
possible care is being bestowed upon them
and both well and injured are brighter and
better after a nights rest. Now it is the
officers and men not connected with the
Maine who show signs of exhaustion.
Commander Forsyth, of the naval station
here has been on duty ever Since the first
news of the disaster was received here,
and the officers and men on the torpedo
boats Gushing and Ericsson have been
under a great strain. The officers from the
Maine are at the hotels or are quartered
with army or navy friends, and the seamen
and others have been provided for at the
barracks orNhave been sent to the cruiser
New York. A distribution of clothing will
be made to them as soon as possible. The
officers can buy all they want here in the
way of clothing.
Regarding the explosion the officers of the
Maine are reticent. They are evidently I'M
der orders to keep quiet on the subject, but
the men talk more freely, and they, includ-
ing the petty officers of the Maine, are al
most unanimous in insisting that the ex-
plosion was caused by q large torpedo
planted before the Maine arrived at Ha-
vana. The naval men here say that would
be possible, but it is not likely. The an
chorage of the Maine was designated by q
buoy, and the location of the buoy was
fixed by the harbor officials. 1t is added
that any officials perfectly posted as to the
currents and tides might plant a torpedo at
night so that under certain conditions of
tide, IL would be under the forward
part of the Maine, as she swung TO her
mornings. Once planted, it is further stated
here. such a torpedo could be exploded from
the shore or from a boat at any time fixed
upon by those in the secret. All this, how
ever, is regarded as being unlikely to occur,
and as being almost impossible TO occur
without the collision of Spanish officials.
The Maine, according 10 reports received
here. was split open forward; therefore, it
is added. it is difficult to see how such a
result could be attained by torpedo from
the outside 1t is pointed out that the ex-
plosion seems to have come from within.

Lieut.. Holman,s Experience.

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. T.--Lieutenant Hol-
man, navigating and second officer of the
Maine, who arrived here to-day, was sit
ting at table opposite Jenkins when the
explosion occurred. He felt the explosion,
and before he could recover he found the
ship going down. He was pressed by the
rushing waters against the top Of the room,
and put up his hand to protect his head.
He caught his finger on the blade of the
propeller of a torpedo and at once realized
where he was. and swimming and feeling
his way along, reached the hatchway and
escaped. This illustrates his rare presence
of mind, and also the rapidity with which
the big ship sank after the explosion. Jen-
kins has never been heard from or found.
NAll who came from Havana to-day, and
who have any information, scout the idea
of an accident.

NO INVESTIGATION YET.
Hull of the Maine Has Not Been In
vesfigated by Divers.


HAVANA, Feb. 1.-THE night of the dis
aster to the Maine light wind from the
southwest was blowing and her head
pointed in a southwesterly direction. She
was moored in about twelve meters of
water forward and drew about thirteen
meters aft. The Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XII was about two hundred meters from
the American battle ship The correspond
ent- of the Associated Press was in the
cable office writing message when the
explosion occurred. He saw from the win
dow of that office a great column of fire
shooting upwards and hurried to the wharf
and to the quarters of Admiral Manterola-
BY that time the flames extended over the
whole ship and in few moments the
Maine sank.
The explosion so disjointed and twisted
the battle ship that her remains now APP
pear like pile of wreckage. All the upper
deck structure, turrets and guns are in
a heap and one boiler has been blown out of
its place and at o'clock yesterday after
noon was still smoking on deck. The fore
mast and bow and the main mast have col
Iapsed and now only the end of her main
mast remains above water.
The boats of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
MI nave plCkeu up d Qudlltlty VI NlSCh-
age, including boats and a flag, and to-
day ten more bodies were found in the
harbor and taken to the morgue. 1t is i'm
possible to identify them.
Captain Sigsbee went on board the AL
fonso XII yesterday and thanked the Span
ish commander, Captain Manuel Elias, for
the services the Spanish sailors had rem
dered upon the occasion of the great dis
aster.
Contrary to the reports current here yes
terday the divers have not yet made any
investigation of the wreck and the general
opinion expressed in Spanish circles is that
the explosion occurred inside the Maine.

Sympathy for the United states Ex-
pressed by the Emperor.

BERLIN, Feb 17.--Immediately after the
news of the disaster to the Maine was COM
municated to Emperor William he cabled
direct to President Mckinley expressing his
most heartfelt sympathy at the loss of the
Maine and so many brave officers and men.
The German ambassador at Washington
was also instructed to convey to President
Mckinley his AIajesty's sincere coincidence
At the subscription ball yesterday evening
Emperor William expressed to the United
States ambassador, Mr.. White, MY sincere
regrets and sympathy at the loss of the
Maine, and hope 1t will not be so bad as
the first news indicates" Admiral Knorr,
the commander-in-chief of the German
navy, called to-day at the United States
embassy and expressed the German navy
sympathy. Admiral Won Tierpitz, the sec
rotary of the navy, sent an officer on the
same errrand.
The North German Gazette this after
noon says 1t is authorized to state that the
recent report, emanating from Madrid. that
number of high Spanish officers proposed
10 leave their cards at the German embassy
with the view of thus setting on foot a
demonstration against the United States, is
utterly devoid of foundation.
