ADMIRAL SICARD TOO
ILL TO LEAVE KEY WEST.
Captain Taylor Of the Massachusetts,
May Take Command of the
SQUADRON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The noon
mail brought to Secretary Long let
ter from Admiral Sicard at Key West.
The admiral wrote that he had not yet
recovered his health, and would be un-
able to go to sea with the squadron
He will remain on shore at his hotel in
Key West to retain command of the
squadron from that place so long as It
remains in harbor there, relinquishing
it only when it becomes necessary for
the vessels to go to sea.
1t will be remembered that the adj
miral has suffered an attack of mala-
rial fever, and had procured leave OF
absence of two weeks just before the
explosion on the Maine. He got as far
as Tampa, but returned Immediately
to his command, which for only one
day he had left in the hands of Cap
tain Sampson. Should the squadron be
obliged to go to sea with the admiral
i'll at Key West, and the senior Off
Ger of his fleet, Captain Sampson, en-
gagged in the investigation at Havana,
probably the command of the squadron
would devolve upon Captain Taylor.

NOT WRECKED BY AN
EXPLOSION OF BOILERS.
One Theory Regarding the Maine
Disaster Effectually Dis
posed Of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The arriv-
al of mail in Washington from Key
West this afternoon, bringing several
private letters from naval officers late
ly attached to the Maine caused a wave
of excitement to run over the depart
ment and the Capitol There were all
sorts of rumors as to the contents of
these letters, very few of which ru-
mors, in point of fact, had any sound
basis The only feature, so far as could
be discovered, of real Importance as
throwing any light on the cause of the
explosion, was the statement that only
the two aft-bGilers in the after boiler
space, of all of the eight boilers of
the Maine, were under steam at the
time of the explosion This fact had
negative value for it disposed at once
of the theory that a boiler explosion
had caused the wreck. The experts all
say that by no possibility could the
after boilers explosion have wrecked
the fore part of the Maine and left the
other part almost unframed.
Much interest was shown in dis
patch received shortly before o'clock
from Admiral Sicard, giving the recon-
mendations of Captain Sampson of the
court of inquiry as to the raising of the
wreck The view of the naval officers
was THAI Captain Sampson and his as
sociates were giving this advice, not as
a court, but as officers in a position to
speak as to the best methods to be
adopted for wrecking the Maine. Vari-
Gus interpretations were put on the
expression, forward half completely
destroyed This was regarded as a
partial confirmation of the theory that
the forward magazine had exploded, as
that is one of the most important por-
lions of the forward half of the ship.
At the same time, it was held by some
naval authorities that the destruction
Of the forward half Of the ship did not
necessarily mean that the forward
magazine had exploded, as this might
be still intact, although a part of the
general wreckage. In the absence OF
an explicit statement as to the for
ward magazine, there was DISPOSE
ton not to accept any implied state
ment as to it's destruction.

HOLLANDS SUBMARINE
BOAT is AVAILABLE

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-After lying
for months in mud on the flats close to
Nixon shipyard in Elizabeth, N. j., the
submarine boat Holland. owned and
built by Mr.. Holland, was towed into
deep water to-day. 1t is said she is in
perfect condition and prepared for
work. No test of her has been made.
The delay was caused by some altera-
lions in the electrical fittings, which
Mr.. Holland saw fit to make after the
beat was floated.
Mr.. Holland says he built the boat
to prove that his theory of submarine
navigation was correct, and he be
lieved she would do all he expected of
her. She would always remain his
property unless the United States Gov
eminent wanted her. The owner prob
ably will take her out in a. few days
and have a trial on some sandy beach.
He says he wants his first trials where
there will be plenty of sea room and
little mud, as the boat when submerged
might make the water thick and rem
der steering difficult.

HELD A REVEL WHILE
THE NATION MOURNED
Representative Mahaney Bitterly
Denounces New York's "Four
Hundred.v

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-During the
debate on the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill in the House to-day Mr..
Mahaney (R) of New York Great
ed something of a furry by de-
livering a five-minute speech in de-
nunciation of what he termed the
revels of the so-called 400 of New
York while the nation was in
mourning for the loss of the sailors
of the Maine He said he felt it to
be his duty to rebuke a circumstance
in connection with the disaster of the
Maine. While the mangled remains
of the brave sailors who persisted in
that awful explosion were being car
ried to their graves, the so-called and
self-denominated 400 of New York held
a social revel which was termed a
vegetable party"
How different, he said, was the feel
ing manifested by these so-called So
cial leaders in the metropolitan city of
the United States and the condition in
London when the Camperdown sank
the Victoria. In London, on that oc-
casion there was everywhere the black
badge of mourning. Every social func-
ton was abandoned, while in New
York the social leaders Wearied high
heaven with their reves Yet in. the
last campaign these same people prated
of national honor when a financial
question was before the country Then
it was national honor A few days
ago, when the nations head was bowed
and the dismembered fragments of her
dead were going to their graves they
seemed utterly oblivious to her grief.
He had no desire, he said, to reflect
upon the rich. There was distinc-
ton between those who employed cap
ital in a productive capacity and those
who were drones, who toiled not nor
spun, who dared to disturb the hours
of the nations mourning with this in
suit to the dead. (Applause.) He would
not hesitate, he said, 30 far as he was
concerned, to endeavor to free the
skirts of the Republican party from as
ISOLATION with these mere possessors
and spenders of riches who assumed
to represent national honor when they
thought their bonds were threatened
but who had not a tear for those who
went to their graves in it's defense.
(Renewed applause).

table party given by Abram S. He

Acting under instructions from Ad-
miral Kirkland, Lieutenant T. Porter,
the executive officer of the Mohican,
yesterday met the officials of the Cit
liens Committee to arrange for the
disposition of the funds that are to

aster.
Lieutenant Porter, with full power to

ceive the funds on behalf of the I'M
fortunate families

day night they will make the remain
der payable by check to Paymaster
Cam as soon as they are secured.
Lieutenant Porter was unable to say

take in the benefit, but he was sure
that a large delegation of them would
be present on Monday night

Evidence That They May Soon Be
Called Upon to Transport
an Army.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-An Atlanta
(Ga.) special to the Herald says: 1t
develops to-day that the War Depart
ment has on file at Washington re-
cent reports from all railroads in the
Southeast giving estimates of the num-
Der of men and the amount of NUM-
tons of war they could move in a
given number of hours and upon what
notice such movements could be made.
The information covering movements
from Atlanta to ports on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts was collected with the
idea that in case of war with Spain or
a movement of troops to Cuba Atlanta
would be an important base of opera
tons as a supply depot and forwarding
station for the movement OF troops.
The situation of Atlanta is peculiarly
favorable for such operations, and
when General Sherman was here some
wears ago he said that in case Of war
Atlanta would be the most important
strategic point in the Southeast.
Railroad men are reticent about the
information given the Government, but
admit that blanks for that purpose
were sent out from Washington. The
information was got up very careIully
by transportation men, and their eS-
Inmates are held by the War Depart
ment.
From inquiries made here to-day it ap-
pears that in case of an emergency re-
curing temporary interruption OF or
binary business the various lines could
move 100000 men from Atlanta to
Brunswick, Savannah, Port Royal or
Charleston within twenty-four hours.
They could deliver the same number of
men at Tampa, Punta Gorda and
Miami in thirty-six hours. These es-
Inmates allow twelve hours in which to
get trains ready after the notice. The
Southern Railway has over 60 per
cent of its boxcarS equipped with air
brakes, and other roads are to some
extent equipped in the same way.
There are three lines to New Orleans
that could deliver about $4,000 troops in
twenty-four hours. These figures are
based on estimates supplied to the Sec
rotary Of War.
The amount of commissary business
the railroads could handle is practi-
cally unlimited There are three
routes to Brunswick and as many to
Savannah, Charleston and Port Royal.
1t is thought that trains could be run
to any one of these places in from eight
to ten hours with twenty cars each and
fifty soldiers in each car. Trains could
be run twenty minutes apart, and in
that way could move 5000 men an
hour.
The Central of Georgia Railway has
100 cars equipped with air brakes and
the Southern has about 10000 so
equipped. The Atlanta and West
Point has 60 per cent of it's boxcars
fitted with air brakes, and other roads
have smaller proportions With these
Equipments movements of troops could
he far more easily and safely made
than during the Civil War, when there

(Me.) special to the Herald says: Citi-

patriotism in the event of war with
Spain. Plenty of war talk is heard on
every hand, and there is no doubt that
in the event of trouble there would be
a large number of volunteers from this
