SPECIAL MESSENGER COMING
Captain Sigsbee Gives Detailed Ac-
count Of the Explosion.
SEN TON WAS WFUL

Special Cablegram From STAFF Correspondent.
HAVANA, February 1S.-The Maine in
vestigation promises to bring a climax to
the strained relations between two coun-
tries. Four days after the disaster out of
the mass of conflicting statements the
cause of the vessels sinking and what it
was in the beginning is in doubt.
From all the circumstances it is as easy
to show that the cause could not have
been accidental as to support the theory
that by the blowing up of the ship by bomb
or torpedo ruin accomplished was impos-
sible
Naval board of inquiry will sift much
mors. Opinions here seem to be that 1t will
show no possibility of accident through
negligence 1t may also show that various
plots which find belief could not have been
| carried out.
Many persons credit story of messen-
ger having gone to Washington with names
| of conspirators, though why he should pro-
| coed there when inquiry is conducted in
| Havana is not known. That dynamite
| bombs have been manufactured and ex-
ploded in Havana cannot be questioned.
| Three weeks ago one was exploded in the
| center Of the city. The police claimed
| to have arrested the conspirators, but that
| was doubted. No one questions the sin
certify of Blanco and government officials
| in their regret and manifestations of sor-
have followed hva yyb
| grateful tc Sigsbee and~to Lee, but on that
| account the theory is not abandoned that
| the explosion was due to accident and not
| necessarily to an adopted plot to blow up
| the Maine by violent intransigentes who
are as hostile to Blanco and autonomy as
| to the United States. This class showed
resentment when the war vessel arrived.
| That it made threats is certain.
Whether these threats were idle vapor-
| ings the naval inquiry may help to deter
| mine. 1t must be stated dispassionately
| that the ultra-Spanish class makes little
attempt to conceal their satisfaction. Their
| feeling is actually one of exultation.
| I saw evidences of 1t in a Cuban village
two hundred miles from Havana, where
| the news was first received. Evidences OF
| it multiplied that this was the real senti-
ment as l approached Havana.
Consuls in their reports to Lee have
commented on the same feeling.
The Spanish government is not respon-
| sible for this class, but their sentiments
| dominate public opinion. Regardless of
| the Maine disaster the situation all over
the island is growing worse, and the fail
| ure of autonomy is absolute.

increasing the Force Has been Going
ON for Months.
The officials Of the War Department are
annoyed at the circulation of rumors that
seem to connect an activity now observable
at the seacoast defenses with the Maine
Incident. The attention of Acting Secre-
tary Meiklejohn was this morning called to
several such stories. coming from widely
separated parts Of the country He prompt
ly declared that this movement had no
connection with the Maine affair. There
pad been increases of the garrisons Of the
seaboard posts. But this had been going
on for six months, and only marked a step
In the development Of the scheme Of coast
defense planned by the fortitication board
some time ago. Said Mr.. Meiklejohn:
1T Is following out the policy of the de-
partment which has been pursued ever
since the ordnance department turned over
TO the engineers the modern guns which
they had manufactured. When these are
placed in the coast fortitcations it becomes
necessary to nave them carefully protected
and this work has been going on for six
months. Guns have been sent the Della
ware Qualifications, Firms Point, Fort Moul-
try, and other defenses on the Atlantic
| coast. Congress has baen aware of this
and the department had called attention to
the need OF at least two additional regi-
ments OF artillery to man these posts and
take care of these guns as fast as they are
installed. Inc letter OF Assistant Secre-
tary MelkleJohn Is row before Congress-
ara has been printed. Meanwhile, in the
absence of specific legislation, the depart-
ment is making the best possible distribu-
ton Of its small forces to carry out its

Capt. Sigsbee, Il had not retired. I was

the explosion by.
after the first great shock-I cannot

knew my ship was gone. In such a struc-
ture as the Maine, the effects of such an
explosion are not for a moment in doubt.
