THE STOCK MARKET TIMID
All Day the News From Havana
Rules.
Realizing and Selling short and
None With Nerve Enough
to Buy.

New York. Feb. 16.-It was not to be
Maine at Havana, an event which has
shocked the whole country, would be
without effect upon financial sentiment
Whatever official investigation of the loss
of the Maine may disclose, II is certain
now that the event occurred at a most
unfortunate time and place. The Issue
which is feared of itself affords no ade-
Zation of the stock market. 1t is diff
cult and well nigh impossible, however,
to gauge speculative sentiment closely.
Since the inception of the Cuban ques-
ton, and throughout it's development, it
has had but one influence and has invar
iably proved thoroughly unsettling TO the
stability of the market for securities. To
those critics who consider that the de-
cline in prices is the result chiefly OF
technical market conditions, including the
high level of values II may be pointed
out that the market was equally sensa-
tive to Cuban developments at the low
level of January and February a year
ago.
Many good judges of the general mar
ket situation consider the long existing
apprehensions in regard to the possi-
bilities OF a rupture with Spain a direct
reflex of the Venezuelan panic, an occur
renee which was reminder to this
generation that the United States were
not free from diplomatic complications
and must count upon possible hostilities
with other nations.
1t Is perhaps necessary TO say that no
other matter than the loss of the Maine
and the possible consequences thereof re-
ceived any attention today. The sac of the
Kansas Pacific 10 the Union Pacific syn
dicate was ignored, and the further sharp
rise in the grain market was scarcely
mentioned. Instead of these important
circumstances the street accepted with
avidity the innumerable rumors referring
TO the chief news of the day, and these
were freely supplied by the news agencies
and the Washington private wire"
houses. The increase in the dividend
rate of Burlington 10 a per cent basis,
which was made today, received as scant
notice as the other matters cited.
There is no doubt that extensive opera
toDs for the short account played no
little part in the days decline. and they
We're conducted with an offensive degree
of bravado in view OF the circumsta ances.
Liquidation and the exhaustion of week
ly margin accounts excited the decline
and for the first time in ten days for
eiRn houses were sellers Of stocks in this
market on balance.
In the closing hour some ralIying power
was shown by Norfolk and Western. and
few Of the favorites. but the closing
prices showed material declines all

A PREP0STEROUS THEORY

Bureau OF Construction Officials.

Ru reau OF Construction Officials.
There are many officials in the Bureau
of Ordnance who do not believe that the
destruction of the Maine was due to an
internal accident.
a statement was made al the Bureau
of Construction that there was no possi-
bility OF an explosion from the inside of
the ship.
The magazines are so constructed that
il is entirely out OF the question TO say
that the cause OF the catastrophe is TO be
found there, said this informant. The
magazines are always well guarded.
As the explosion occurred forward,
there was little doubt expressed but a
torpedo was exploded just under the for

When the Britannia left the pier the

sode.
Consul General Baldasano said. alter

Concerning the Maine disaster he said:
"It must have been an accident. There
are so many possibilities for an explosion

dynamite, so many fires and pipes and

dent"

New York, Feb. l6.-Flags hung at half

seemed To care 10 talk There Were al

As to the cause of the explosion there
were. of course. but two opinions TO eX-
press-that II was the result OF an acci-
dent or the result Of design. A great
many insisted that the destruction OF the
Maine had been accomplished only by
Spanish treachery. Ii was 4 noticeable
fact that at the navy yard the feeling
against Spain was strongest. Among the
officers at the yard it was hard TO find
one who was willing TO say that the ex-
plosion was not the result Of design
Elsewhere that opinion did not find such
unanimity or support.
Gen Benjamin f. Tracy, Secretary Of
the Navy under Harrison, said:
This IS a time for true Americans to
keep their heads cool have read all the
reports of the explosion on the Maine that
] thought might be considered reliable
and have seen nothing in any Of these
reports TO warrant the conclusion that the
disaster was the result of design. In my
opinion the explosion was the result of
an accident, caused, perhaps. by the mag
