Story OF Spanish
yTreachery.

Havana, Feb. 19.-Only most
experienced wrecking divers can
do effective work on the Maine.
In the upper works | can use
service divers. Did some work
to day, but with little success.
Will do better tomorrow. Parts
Of the Maine, and especially the
superstructure and connections,
are one confused mass of metal"
Another brief telegram from
Captain Sigsbee read: "Havana.
19.-The Bach (Which means the
coast survey steamer) has arrived
at Havana, bringing on board all
wrecking apparatus sent from
squadron" The statement relative
to experienced divers is explained
at the navy department as no re-
Election upon the men now en-
gagged in the work, they being
enlisted men belonging to the
navy. 1t is the practice on board
men of-war to assign few men,
always volunteers, on account of
| tho haZZardness of the nature of
work, to duty as divers, in con-
nection with their regular work
The scope Of their work is tho eX-
plosion Of the ships bottom
generally, the acknowledgements of
cables from the propeller shafts
and soma times the search for a
! lost torpedo or anchor. Such
rarely carried them deeper than
twenty. five feet into the water.
and it is said that for operations
in deeper water, such as would be
involved in examination Of the
Names bottom, their training
has not fitted them. They are
also lacking in that kind Of skill
necessary to enable a diver 70
grope his way safely through the
internal parts Of mighty ship
like the Maine, torn and dismem-
bored as she is, and this work is
highly dangerous. Creeping
through narrow iron-bound pass
ages and cropping for the doors Of
the numerous water tight bulk
heads, which divide the hull int O
many compartments, on Shiny
floors and in perfect darkness re-
quires the highest expert skill,
and that Is why Captain Sigsbee,
with only his sailor divers at
command. had not been able to
do much so far towards unravel-
ling the mystery of the Maine's
untimely end.

the ears of Mckinley and also be

Kinley and the world should

DeLome considers his message

and considers him himself ga low

Scandalous and cowardly as his
Cuban policy is, Mckinley hardly
deserves all DeLome says about
him. Blu, ha deserves enough Of
it to make it hurt; and it is the
very irony of fate that DeLome
of all men should hold and ex-

to be altogether unlikely that his

THE WAR SITUATION.

We had no war bulletins Yester-
day, aud the big daiIies had no ac-
counts OF any great battles.
1t seems that Manila is bound to
fall, as the soldiers are hemmed in
without rations and many deser-
tions are reported.
The insurgents at Manila hold
the suburbs of the city and the
crack of their rifles tell the tale
that they will soon win the day.
Admiral Dewey has bravely kept
his heet in the harbor and has not
up to the last reports thrown a
shell INTO the city for fear of kill
ing some non-combatant and also
from the fact that he could take
the place without blood shed.
AT Santiago, the clap trap
Spanish feet is nesting under
the cover of the hills while the blue
jacket marines and insurgents are
driving in the scouts and pickets to
the city proper.
Skaters urmy is landed by this
time and it will not be many hours
before Santiago will fall. Then
will the army, or part of it, be
loaded on transports and carried to
Porto Rico, where it, too, will sur
render in time.
When these two places fall, our
army will be consolidated and will
march against the great (?) Blanco,
under Fitzhugh Lee, and what Lee
will do to him and his army will be
quite plenty.
Should Spain then hold out after
all of this, there will be nothing
left for us to do but to pay visit
to Madrid and crumble down some
of those ancient walls built by mon.
ey stolen from their subjects of the
Western Hemisphere.

THE ROsEBUDs MEET.

The Rosebuds we're given a lawn
party on Friday night by one of the
members, Miss Minnie Prince.
During the first part of the after
noon the skies were clear and the
weather showed up to this time
that it was on its best behavior and
Miss Minnie and a few young lady
friends and one or two gentlemen,
proceeded to string wires about the
trees on which were strung num-
berless paper Chinese lanterns.
The finishing touches had just been
made to the lawn decorations when
a clap of thunder came announcing
skulking cloud just over the city,
which simultaneously with the re-
port emptied itself upon the earth,
and may say, did not forget the
chinese lanterns, which, after the
rain was over, looked as dilapidated
as did the Spanish feet at Manila
after Dewey got through with it.
On this account the entertainments
name was changed from a lawn
party to IAN Evening with Dewey"
The evening was spent in making
puns on Dewey's name, in dancing,
music and song, and some lovemak-
ing was INDUCED in,

THE JOHN WHITEHEAD CASE.

John Whitehead, who has been on
trial for the past three days for
shooting a young man named Wea-
yer for criminal intimacy with his
sister, as set forth by the defense,
but denied by the state, terminated
yesterday afternoon by the jury
being discharged they having failed
to agree.
We learn that they stood at one
time four for a death penalty and
eight for 21 years, and that the
finale was, the jury was divided 4
to s on long or short sentence, and
not being able to agree, the judge
discharged them and the case will
in all probability go over until the
next term of court.
Prosecuting Attorney Carter
closed his docket here yesterday
for the last time, as his successor in
office will have been elected and
qualified before the next court.
In retiring, he has much to feel
proud of, for he has succeeded in
sending eight men to the peniten-
tiary and convicted many in misde-
meanor cases. The Whitehead case
is the only one snatched from him,
and he has won ronown even in
hanging the jury on the case.
When the District loses this good
man from the states service it has
lost veritable Dewey in the sense
that he stands ready to pun
ish all the offenders against the
state and lets few escape,
We say long live our retiring
prosecuting attorney, j, M. Carter.
