There is feeling among them that the

This belief is shared by all Cubans--that
the Maine was blown ny by ii torpedo.
Further believe the torpedo came from
the Spanish warshlp Alphonse Mi. rs to
our reasons Tor thinking so: First. there
is the fact that the day before the ex.
plosion the Alphonso. which had been VA
chorsd near, was moved TO q gate dis
