NOT BLOWN Up ny cUBANs.
Estrada Palma Thinks sp0niards
Used IA Torpedo.

ANeu ~ AoEpNNot
Tampa, Fla, Feb. 17,-Estrada Palma
president of the Cuban, junta, and nr.
Jose Antonio Gonzaies Lanuza, secretary
of the Culyan legation in the United States
arrived tonight from Key West and Will
remain here for several days. for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the Cuban cause.
They were met at Port Tampa by COM
mittee of prominent Cubans, and on ar
rlvlng in this city were greeted tg several
hundred Cubans.
1t was the intention OF the Cubans to
have given grand demonstration in hon
or of President Palma, but on account of
the blowing up of The Maine. and the
great loss of life. the plan was aban-
doned. Hundreds OF Cubans have the
American and Cuban flags at half mast,
and there Is universal grief over the de-
plorable accident TO the Maine.
President Palma said tonight, when
asked his opinion Of the exp.oslon ut
was reported when / left Key West yes
terday to have been an accident, but !
cannot understand how such an accident
do not think It possible for It to have been
an accident. l hope that a thorough in
vestigation will be made at once and the
matter cleaned up. / do not believe that
it was an accident, and am inclined TO
believe that the explosion did not occur
on board the vessel, but under her hull. If
Il proves TO have been caused by a tor
pedo placed under the vessel, then the re-
lations between the United States and
Spain should be at once terminated. What
should then be done, do not care TO say,
but every one knows what would follow.
"The explosion was not caused by a Gu
ban, as some have intimated, however,
anxious the Cubans may be for the United
states to interfere In the war between
Spain and the Cuban republic. No Cuban
would resort 10 such wholesale destruction
of life and property"
President Palma was in Key West, and
saw the men from the Maine landed yes
terday morning from the Olivette.
The revenue cutters Forward and Me-
Lane were lying at Port Tampa to-day
when a telegram was received by the COM
mander of the Forward. Steam was at
once gotten up on both vessels and they
nut TO sea. 1t Is understood that they had
orders 10 proceed to Key West
Passengers arriving from Havana on the
Olivette say that the most intense excite
nent prevailed in Havana when they left,
but Americans anticipated no trouble from
snanish mobs. only among the very low
est classes was anything heard except
svmnathy. A few bitter Spaniards were
heard TO say that they were glad the Yam
KEGS had been blown up.

MOST MYSTERIOUS.
All the Theories As to the Explosion
Open to Doubt

New York. Feb. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says; "The officers
of the Maine fail utterly to account for
this disaster on the theory of any inter-
nal explosion; but they also agree that no
torpedo could have caused the damage that
this explosion wrought Then. too, The
finding of a large damond-shaped niece
of cement which went so high In The air
as to crash clear through the deck Of the
City Of Washington in its descent, adds
another puzzling feature TO the case. An
internal explosion would not have hurled
1t so high in air.
The captain choked down his emotion
when l asked him of the disaster
There is very little that l can tell you,
he replied. 4 was in the cabin at the time
/ had just finished letter to my family
when that enormous crash came. The
ship lurched heavily to port and I knew
in an instant what 1t all meant-that my
ship had blown up.
" AN the cabin lights were put out, and,
as l groped my way out of the apartment,
met my orderly running toward me.
INeHcniHs the ueck, ! gave orders 10 post
sentries to keep silence, and to flood the
magazines The magazines were already
flooding themselves. l saw then that the
disaster was complete; In fact, i noticed
few of our men struggling in the water.
only three boats were left Of the
number we carried, These, the gig barge
and Second whale boat We're lowered as
quickly as we could get them in the water
There was a big hole knocked In the side
of the barge, and 1t Is a wonder that 1t
did not sink with the few who had climbed
into it.
What do you think caused the explo-
sion? l asked Capt. Sigsbee.
." You will have TO excuse me from an
swering that he replied. In such cases 1t
is best not to think; 1t is best to know.
That requires investigation and time.
Might not a small torpedo these rea-
soners argue, have struck the side of the
Maine, and, exploding, set off one OF the
magazines, some of which are located for
ward? Stlll again, It was limited that there
was Cuban mine laid. and that II failed
in Its mission, which was to destroy the
Spanish cruiser, anchored near, and struck
the Maine"

DIVERS HAVEN'T BEEN DOWN.
Report OF Finding of Evidence of
Exterior. Explosion UnfOunded.

HNtertora EAptOstuh AnlounueOs
Washington, Feb. H,-Excitement over
the Maine disaster continues here. An
Associated Press report from Key West
was received at the white house and navy
department. to the effect that an exam
nation of the Names bottom by divers
showed large hole under the forward
magazine, with further evidence that the
explosion was from the exterior.
The report created profound sensation
and sent an army of newspaper corre-
spondents to the navy department
Inquiry at the department shows that
the report is without foundation. The
only communication received from Cant.
Sigsbee to-day relates to the court of in
quiry appointed to investigate the cause
of the explosion.
While no positive information can be
obtained until the examination is made
by the divers, the belief that 1t was an act
of treachery grows stronger at the navy
department and the capitol.
To prevent the transmission of sensation
al dispatches to and from Havana. It Is
announced at the department that our
government has absolute control of the
Key West end of the cable, and the Span-
ish authorities have jurisdiction over tho
Havana end.

ANTI-AMERIcAN CIRCULAR
Threatening Screed Distributed in
Havana Last Week.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE Associated
Press correspondent tonight received
from Havana the literal translation of
circular which was distributed there
last week in large numbers which is sig
nifcant in view OF the terrible affair. 1t
is as follows:
'fSpaniards: Hail to Spain with honor.
What are you doing that you let your
selves be insulted in this manner. Don't
you see what they have done to us by re-
firing our brave and dear Weyler. who by
this time would have exterminated these
ragged insurgents who step on our flag

"They impose the autonomy to throw

ungrateful sons of our dear country and
finally these pig Yankees, who intervene

after insulting US in their papers and our
homes.
"Spaniards the moment for action has
arrived! Do not sleep.
Let us show the vile traitors that we
have not yet lost our shame, and that we
protest with the energy that corresponds
to dignified and strong nation as It is
and will be.

BOILER BLOWN ON DECK.
Battleship Badly DisjOinted and
Twisted.


Twisted.
Havana, Feb. 17-The night of the dis
aster to the Maine a light wind from the
southwest was blowing, and her head
pointed in southeasterly direction.
She was moored in about twelve meters
of water forward and drew about thirteen
meters aft
The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII was
about 200 meters from the American bat
tleship.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was in the cable Office sending a
message when the explosion occurred. He
saw from the window of that office a great
column of fire shooting upwards, and he
hurried to the wharf and to the quarters
of Admiral Mantelora.
BY that time the flames extended over
the whole ship, and In a few moments the
Maine sank.
The explosion so disjointed and twisted
the battleship that her remains now ap-
pear like pile of wreckage.
Among the upper deck structure, tur-
rets and guns are in a heap and one boil
er has blown out of its place, and at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon, was still smok
ing on deck. The foremast and bow of
the Maine have collapsed, and now only
the end of her mainmast remains above
the water.
The boats of the Spanish cruiser, Alton
so XIII have picked up a quantity of
wreckage, including boats and flag, and
to-day ten more bodies were found in the
harbor and taken to the morgue. 1t is
impossible to identity them.
Capt. Sigsbee went on board the Alton
so XII and thanked the Spanish COM
mander, Capt. Manuel Elias, for the ser
vices the Spanish sailors had rendered
upon the occasion of the great disaster.
Contrary to the reports current here
yesterday the divers have not made any
investigation of the wreck, and the gen
eral opinion expressed in Spanish circles
is that the explosion occurred inside the
Maine.
