EAST RIVER ENTRANCE.
4 Skirmish Line of Torpedoes Makes
it InYulnerable.

New York, Feb. 25.-The Brooklyn
Eagle to-day said:
AT Willct's Point, precaution is being
taken to make the East river entrance
to New York invulnerable. A so-called
SkirmiSh line of torpedoeS Us projected
from the WiIlets Point shore across the
channel to Fort Schuyler. The torpedoos
Will be anchored so close together that
it may be made impossible for a hostile
vessel to cross the line without being
blown up.
The torpedoes will be connected with
electric wires, and to make doubly sure
that their plans cannot be frustrated. the
engineers have arranged to have bat
terleS located at each end of the line so
that III case an apparatus was used by
the enemy to sever the connecting wires
and break the circuit, the torpedocs
could be still exploded from either end
of the line. The channel is already pro-
tected from the Willet's Point shore to
the center of the channel by two groups
Oh submarine mines. Each group Of
the mines consists of twenty-five torpc-
does, forty fOur together containing 100
pounds of giant powder"

WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT.


New York, Feb. 25.-The Mail and
Express this evening prints the follow
ing. dated Havana to-day:
The United States Naval Board of In
quiry continued to-day taking the testi-
1EOny of the divers who have been work
ing in the wreck of the Maine. Those
who We're sent herc from the battle ship

examined.
While, of course, the members OF the
court will not talk for publication, | am
Informed IN the highest authority that
tne evidence of diver Morgan as to the
condition of the Maine shows almost
beyond the possibility of a doubt, in the
opinion of my informant, that the Maine
was blown up by an outside agency.
Furthermore, Morgan's report was
verified by the other American divers
who descended to-day.
All the testimony of the civilian wit
nesEes of the disaster was taken yes
terday.
Ihe court will finish its work here to-
morrow and proceed at once to Key
west to take the testimony of the survi-
vOrs there. 1t has also been decided
not to return to Havana. all the infor-
nation as to the cause of the disaster

THE MAINE SLOWLY SETTLING.
Testimony Of the Divers-The Nizcay;
Expected To-day or Tomorrow.

Expected Quay or O-IlloIIoN.
Havana, Feb. 25.-The wreck Of the
Maine is slowly but surely sinking into
tie mud. Before the hull could be raised
it would be necessary to remove the
guns and deck debris. For lack of pro
per appliances practically nothing in this
line has been accomplished. ASIDE from
the officers and cabin effects the sal
wage thus far has been pitifully small.
The cloudy weather and rain made the
work of the divers unsatisfactory to-day
and very little was done. 1t is said
that a hole has been made by the divers
in one of the forward matches. and it is
hoped that a number of bodies will be
recovered. The Court of Inquiry sat
longer than usual to-day, the six divers
being examined more in detail than here
tofore. The time of the departure of
the Mangrove with the court for Key
West has not been determined. Captain
Sampson said to-day that it was doubtful
whether his vessel would sail to-mor-
row, that all depended on the develop
ments of the testimony.
The Spanish cruiser Alfonso MI has
been towed to a buoy further within
the harbor to make room for the cruiser
NiZcaya. which is expected here to-mor-
row or the next day from the north.
No word has been received at the
Consul Generals office from Mr.. Walter
Il. Barker. the United States Consul at
Lagua La Grande and it is believed that
the report of Mr.. Bankers serious illness
is untrue.
At the afternoon session of the Court
of Inquiry the examination of divers was
continued. \ civilian. whose testimony
is said to be of SOME Importance. was
also examined.

particulars Of his evidence are with

regarded as remarkable for those days.
The expedition included - armed ships,
- heavy guns and 300 sailors and
marines.
Accompanying this formidable outfit
were civilian plenipotetiaries prepared to
make the demands of this government.
and then force them by calling on the
armed ships. The expedition made a
formidable showing in South American
waters. and President Lopczs govern
mcnt was aWed into complete slbjectlon
by It's presence. The American om1nlS-
sioners and Naval officers We're received
at the Ascension with much honor, ana
every PREPARATION within the power Of the
Penublic WAS given. This included
abiect apology, Il sweeping disavowal,
and $4,000 for the sufferers from the
outrage. As the republic was willing to
Grant full reparation the Naval CXpedi-
tiGn did not exert the force it was pre-
pared to use in case a refusal had been
offered. When the facts Of the eXpedi-
ton were reported to the American
Congress. the President stated that the
dispatch Of this Formidable. naval fleet
had had IL salutary influence throughout
the world, and had convinced foreign ma
tons that the United States would pro-
tect the lives of its citizens with all the
force ut its command.
DISPLAYS OF FORCE.
Displays Of force were resorted to by
the United States i'll 1852 against Japan,
and in 1853 against Java. In the case
Of Japan. American sailors had been Sc
verely handled in Japanese ports, and
the native courts failed to give adequate
redress. \ naval expedition was sent
to Japanese waters, and this had the
effect of securing the fullest apology
and also an agreement by which every
protection was guaranteed to American
citizens and property in Japan. In the
case Of Java the Secretary of the Navy
sent a large Naval force to the waters
Of Java to demand that the native trial
courts should give the fullest protection
to Americans. The expedition was sue
cessful in its purpose, and all the assur-
ances desired were given.
Tho principle Of money indemnity for
the killing of foreigners has been rco"-
nized in several recent cases in the
United States. One of these was the
killing Of Italians at New Orleans by q
mob. In that case, while the United
States did not admit the responsibility OF
the Federal government for the act OF
a mob. yet indemnity was paid out of
| the Federal treasury as Il matter of in
ternational comfy and equity. Similar
| action WAS taken in indemnifying China
for her subjects killed at Rock Springs.
President Buchanan adopted the pre-
| cedcnt of rerrisaI III 1889. This is a
measure just short Of war. Mexico was
charged at that time with asserting to
spoiIation along the United States Dor
der. President Buchanan asked Con
gresS for authority to send Il military
force to secure indemnity as diplomatic
negotiations had failed to bring redress
from Mexico.
Ibis curse was adopted by Congress,
and the preparations for the mllltary re-
priSal soon brought about a satisfactory
ADJUSTMENT.
