BIRDS-EYE VIEW OF THE HARBOR OF HAVANA.

der more than $50 American seamen,
Spain must produce the proofs that the
Maine was blown up by some other power
than that of Spanish torpedo. Wash
ington advices on Thursday stated that
officers of the navy did not believe that
there could have been an accidental ex-
plosion on the Maine from spontaneous
combustion or any other cause, when the
battle ship was lying at an chor without
steam in her boilers, or Goa in her for
ward bunkers, and with only p 'ojectiles
and such ammunition as might be explod-
ed by conclusion in her forward maya
zine. While some officials at the Navy
Department talked of accidental explo-
sions. there were few of practical expe-
rience who did not privately scout such
theories, and said that TO a@ySnce them
means to condemn the modern war vessel.
The corps of constructors at the Navy
Department insisted that the explosive
pover must have come from the outside
of the vessel, because it is their business
10 nreyent ac idents Of this kind occurring
within the hull, and they claimed that it
is impossible for the vessel to have been
destroyed by an explosion in o1e of the
magazines. Chief Naval Constructor
Hichborn said that az accidental explo-
sion was impossible, leaving the infer
ence that he believed the explosion TO
have been due to treacherous hands.
The President and his cabinet tried to
keep down the excitement until full re-
ports could be received from Captain
Sigsbee. They did not care to base their
Judgment on dispatches that must be pass
ed upon By the Spanish censors in charge
of she telegraph wires at Havana. They
therefore followed the theory of an acci-
dental explosion because it would be very
serious for the administration publicly to
assume that the Maine could have been
destroyed in any other way, until they
had the full details of this affair from the
commander of the ship.
1t is asserted by naval officers that the
harbor Of Havana is full of submarine
torpedoes, which need only an electrical
connection to make an explosion possible.
The theory that the Maine was destroyed
by torpedo found ready believers. No
body was willing TO assert that the SpaA-
fsh Government was primarily respo1sl-
bic for touching off a torpedo, but among

WAR SPIRIT AT WAsHlNsTOn.
Feeling That the Maine Disaster Re-
suited from Snanish TrencherY

reeiiHS Inat the Maine Disaster Re-
suited from Spanish Treachery.
Washington was afame "Wednesday
with the war spirit. Every body eagerly
read the extra newspapers carrying latest
dispatches from Havana and the strained
efforts of those high in official life to show
the blowing up of the Maine to have been
an accident only added to the impatience
of the general public. Both houses of
Congress assembled at noon under the
most exciting conditions since war times.
From the advices received from Lee
and from other sources in Havana" said
Secretary Long, Il am not inclined to
think it was an act of Spanish hostility.
l have no explanation to make, but the
fact that Capt. Sigsbee has asked that
publ opinion be susetnded leads us to
believe that those who are in a position
to have the best INFORMATION do not regard
it as a hostile act. .osg'he dispatch from
Consul General Z Fee says the cause of the
explosion s.Egs IL be Investigated, but It
also says that the Spanish have rendered
all possible assistance. Nothing yet re-
ceived indicates that the disaster was the
result of Spanish treachery, and we will
proceed with care until we have further
particulars"
Public opinion, however, refused to be
suspended, and to say that the capital was
excited over the report of the destruction
of the Maine is but to give hut a meager
and inadequate idea of the real condition
of affairs Wednesday. 1t was the only
topic of conversation. There were extra
papers on the streets every fifteen min
utes, people wildly shouted their opinions
of the catastrophe, and on all hands were
talk of war and demands for more infor-
nation. Treachery was the word on all
lips. No one could be persuaded that the
affair was not of Spanish origin. 1t was
thought that some Spanish agent secured
access to the vessel and exploded a gren-
ade near the ammunition magazine.

sleeves and gave orders. Efforts were at
first made to save the vessel, but when
Captain Sigsbee realized the extent of
the damage done and that many casualties
had occurred he bent all his energies to
assuring the safety of his men.
The Secretary of the Navy at Washing
ton received the following telegram from
Capt. Sigsbee: MAINE blown up in Ha-
vana harbor $40 and destroyed. Many
wounded and doubtless more killed and
drowned. Wounded and others on board

loss of the Maine. The only recent par
alel is the Samoan disaster in March,
1889, when four officers and forty six
men of the Pacific coast squadron lost
their lives in a hurricane which swept the
harbor of Ap'a and surrounding waters.
In this hurricane the United States men
of-war Trenton, Vandalia and Nipsic, and
the German steamers Adler and Eber
were wrecked. Ninety-six of the crews
on the German vessels were lost. Going
further back, the wreck of the United
States sloop of war Huron off the coast
of North Carolina Nov. a, 1877, during
terrible gale, offers the most striking
comparison. In this wreck 100 lives We're
lost and the vessel was broken to pieces
on the shore. The only magazine explo-
sion of recent years on n United States
war ship took place on the Missouri while
she was lying at anchor at Gibraltar. The
explosion caused great damage to the ves-
sci, but was fortunately attended with no
loss of life.
Other navies have suffered far more Sc
verely than that of the United States dur
ing tbo last quarter of a century. One of
the most terrible disasters was the foun-
dering of the Spanish cruiser Reina Re-
genta March IL, 1895, in the Atlantic
ocean near the entrance to the Mediter-
ranean sea, when more than 400 persons
were drowned. Great Britain suffered a
loss equally appalling June %, 1893, when
the battle ship Victoria sunk after col
liding with her sister ship Camperdown
during maneuvers off the coast Of Tripoli.
The loss of life was twenty-five officers
and 33G of the crew. Three years pre-
vious the British torpedo cruiser Serpent
was wrecked in a storm off the northwest
coast of Spain and all but three of a crew
of 40 officers and men were lost An
other wreck famous in naval history Is
that of the British war ship Doterel,
which was destroyed by an explosion
April 26, 1881, while lying at anchor in
the Straits of Magellan. The explosion
wiped the vessel off the face of the wat
ers, leaving but seven alive out Of $50
officers and sailors on board. This was

COUNTRY GREATLY EXCITED.
Seems as Though Providence Were
LEADING Two Countries tn War

Seems as Though Providence We're
Leading Two Countries to War.
The agitation and suppressed excite
ment that prevail throughout the coun-
try are shown by the kilograms of inquiry
that have been received at the various
departments and newspaper offices and
by members of Congress as to the proba-
BILE cause of the explosion. And it is
clear that, however it may be explained,
this awful calamity must seriously in
crease the tension between the United
States and Spain by provoking excitement,
suspicion and irritation. The comments
of many public men as furnished in the
press dispatches cannot be overlooked by
the Spanish. And if the explosion is not
satisfactorily explained it may be expect
ed that similar opinions will be offered
in Congress and elsewhere in such form
as to give great provocation. The feeling
in Congress has reached a more acute
stage than ever before. The Dupuy de
LONE incident intensified the prejudice
against Spain and developed hostility
that was never so bitter as to-day in any
quarter and is particularly pronounced
among those who have been preserving
an impartial judgment and conservative
attitude. The excitement from one Incl
dent does not subsde before another even
more aggravatin occurs. And it seems
