A VICTIM OF THE MAINE.
An Unidentified Body Buried at
Key West.

KEY WEST, March 3.-An unidenti-
fed body from the Maine wreck was
brought here this morning on the coast
survey steamer Bache. One gun d.
vfsion from the United States cruiser
Marbehead, under the command of
Lieutenant Anderson. received the re-
mains. Commander Mccall will super
| intend all the arrangements. Only a
small number of people gathered at the
dock. \ hearse was in waiting, but
it proved to be too small for the coffin
which was then taken to the city GEM
etery covered with the stars and stripes
in a plain wagon. The body was bur-
led in the cemetery with the honors
usually accorded a dead sailor. The
order of the procession was: The Mar
blehaad gun division, thirty sailors,
headed by drummer and a bugler;
Chaplain Roxey of the United States
cruiser New York in a buggy; the
wagon containing the coffin nanked on
either side by four sailors; Commander
Mccall Four wreaths were placed on
the lag which covered the coffin.
The crowd present increased in num-
bers as the procession proceeded, and
stood by as the remains We're taken to
the cemetery. At the cemetery the
Chaplain read a short service. The
survivors of the Maine were among
those present at the interment. There
was no demonstration.

the Tortugas by the Bache are still
making progress toward recovery.

learned from official sources the infor-
nation was given at the request of the
Japanese Legation, for the purpose of
allowing the Legation to notify the
friends and relatives. Soon after the
disaster the Navy Department sent the
japanese Legation an unofficial list of
the japanese on board the Maine at the
time of the disaster. The peculiar char
acter of japanese names caused some
confusion in identification, particularly
as to the two who We're saved
There are a number of japanese in
the American navy, serving as stewards,
etc. They go from ship to ship, and
their relatives frequently lose track of
them. 1t was stated at the Legation
that the purpose of the inquiry was to
establish who We're on board the Maine
and to distinguish between the lost and
saved.
In other quarters the question was
raised as TO the right of Japan to par
ticipate in any indemnity which might
be claimed if the disaster proved to be
of external origin Officials differed in
their view of this. 1t was claimed by
some that the wearing of the United
States uniform took away from the Jap
anese subject his attributes as a citizen
of Japan. Moreover, it was pointed out
the loss occurred while these men were
in the service of the United States. On
the other hand, it was contended that
Japan always jealousy guarded her cit
liens abroad, and that in this instance
she might occupy the same ground as
the United States in seeking such re-
dress as would be appropriate to the case
as finally established. In this connec-
ton it was recalled that Japan's rela-
tons tc the Philippines was analogous
to our relations to Cuba. While these
lines of comment We're set on foot by
the inquiries of the Legation to the State
Department both gave assurances that
at the present time the inquiry related
only TO identification.
The State Department received a call
day from Senior Dubosie, the Spanish
Charge d'Affaires, this being diplomatic
day. 1t is understood, however to have
no relation to the Maine inquiry which.
up to the present time, has not become a
subject of diplomatic exchange further
than in the presentation of condolences,
the facilitation of work on the salvage
ard Mr.. Dubosie's statement that no
mines exist in Havana harbor. Mr. Du-
bosie has received information bringing
the record of the alleged flibuster
Dauntless up to date, and it is under
stood he to-day presented a complete
summary on the subject with a view tc
having the vessel apprehended. While
the information is asserted at the Lee
cation to establish the recent eXpedi-
tionary character of the Doubtless trip.
