MYSTERY In TIE EXPLOsI

picious-Oficers Jenkins and Merritt
Among the Missing-Cnptain sigs-
bee Reports the Accident.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-At II 30
O'Clock Secretary Long received the fol-
lowing unsigned cablegram from Ha-
vana: "Only two officers unaccounted
for. The explosion was forward, to all
indications, in the magazine, but can
not tell until an investigation is had
The sentry on the poop deck reports
that there were no boats in the vicinity
when the explosion occurred -
While Secretary Long was with the
president the following detailed dis
patch from Captain sigsbee. comman-
der OF the Maine, was brought to him !:
"Advise sending wrecking vessel at
once. Maine submerged except debris.
mostly work for divers now. jenkins
and Merritt still missing. Little hope
for their safety. Those known to be
saved are: Officers, "a; uniniured
crew, lS; wounded now on board Ward
line steamer, in city hospital and at ho-
tel, 90 SO far as shown. All others went
down on board or near the Maine. The
Co5al lost or missing is 253. With sew
eral exceptions no officer nor man has
more than part of a suit of clothing, and
that is wet with harbor water. !. Ward
steamer leaves for Mexico at 2 o. m.
Officers saved are uninjured Damage

pairing to telegraph list of wounded and
saved. Olivette leaves for Key West

and Wainwright. Holman, Henneber-
ger Ray and Holden will turn over
three uninjured boats to captain of port
with request for safekeeping. Will
send all wounded men to hospital at

as General Lees dispatch, indicate that
they now incline strongly to the belief

Friends of That Measure Find Themselves
Neatly Circumvented by Speaker.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-An uneN-
pected turn has sent the Indian appro-
priation bill back to the full committee
on Indian affairs Of the house instead
OF to conference as was supposed would
be the course adopted This new move
on the part of Speaker Reed was due to
the free homestead rider tackled to the
measure in the senate. 1t was given
out by those on the inside that just as
soon as the Indian bill was reported to
the house and amendments cited there
would be a motion on the part OF those
fayOring the free homes amendment to
concur i'll all the amendments to the
bill and thus force a direct vote in the
house. But Mr.. Reed had IA rule up his
sleeve which permitted him to send the
bill back to the committee and the free
homes advocates are now kicking them
selves that they were not more discreet
i'll getting vote.
1t is unfortunate for the Indian con-
gress amendment that such course
should have been taken, forcing, as it
does, the whole subject of an appropri-
alton for congress of the Indian tribes
before the Indian committee, number
OF members of which are known to be
hostile to the measure. The committed
will have meeting on the bill Thurs
day morning, and it is the intention Of
Senators Allen and Thurston and Con-
gresham Mercer to be present and if
possible secure favorable report on the
amendment.
Lately Chairman Sherman of the
committee has been talking against
making any more appropriations for
the Omaha Exposition and has been
criticizing the proposed congress. Con-
gresham Lacey of Iowa is against the
bill.

"Details OF the Disaster.


NEW YORK, Feb. 16-A special to the
Evening World from Havana saws F:
"The officers of the Maine state the ex-
plosion was in the central magazine,
and that the Maine was raised ont of
the water and then went practically to
pieces. The dispatch continues '.All
but the surgeon We're in the ward room
at the time of the explosion. Then came
the stupendous shock All the officers
below rushed Oh deck, but could get no
further forward then the middle of the
superstructure Oh deck. Only a very
pitiable few of the $50 jaGkies ever got
from below. The water rushed over
them, and many We're stunned and
drowned but not mangled. 1t is not
likely that more than 40 sailors were
saved. The officers on deck narrowly
escaped. Those in the junior officers
mess all had to Chamber out through
water and wreckage waist deep. One
ladder from the after torpedo compart-
ment was jammed with men struggling
up for life. All agree that u double ex-
plosion occurred from the natural result
of an underwater explosion of the mag
azines."
The dispatch says that the account of
the passengers on the Ward line steamer
City of Washington, which was lying
300 yards from the Maine, bears out the
foregoing statement. Continuing, the
cable says: Brass pipe, angle iron, etc.

unar the explosion was or internal orig
in. Both agree that the force of it was
in the forward part of the ship, and
this is borne out by the escape of the
majority of the officers, whose quarters
are aft, and the heavy casualties among
the crew, sleeping forward.
The Maine had three magazines. The
one forward was used for the storage of
ammunition weighing $4,000 pounds.
>This quantity of explosives is SO large
that the naval officers here can scarcely
believe it was possible for any human
being on board to have escaped had this
magazine exploded entirely.

CHICAGO MARKETS.

MAY WHEAT UP FOUR GENTS.

Market Was Very Nervous, but Closed ut
Top Prices.
CHICAGO, Feb. l6.-In the last Is minutes
trading today wheat sold up to 81 OBS for May
This is said to be the highest point reached for
that delivery since 1891 Opening prices for
May, which closed yesterday at 09ls(g99Isc,
ranged from 9934c to o$l00 The market was
very nervous but offerings from any source
were scarce, and shorts in attempting to cover
found out this fact Immediately. In conse-
luence, trading though excited, was not
heavy but prices climbed rapidly to 81 O3sA,
The crowd i'll corn was bigger than in wheat
and the market was very strong.
Oats also advanced in sympathy.
