investigation and full details in the
light of which the horror may be just
ly viewed.
Secretary Long undoubtedly sum-
married. the general opinion of the
majority of the naval experts in find
ing it imp ossible just now to state the
cause of the destruction of the Maine.
There are great number of theories
but most of them are of a character
that makes it easy to prove or upset
them by single investigation by a
diver. Secretary Long has taken i'm
mediate steps to make this investiga-
ton. Late Wednesday afternoon he
autographed to Adm. Sicard at
Key West to appoint board of naval
officers to proceed at once to Havana,
employ divers and generally to make
such inquiry as the regulations of the
navy demand, shall be made in the
case of the loss of ship. 1t is ex-
pected that this work will take some
time. and while there are officers who
say that in their opinion it will not be
possible, owing to the probably DIS
rupted condition of the hull of the
ship to make out the cause of the
explosion, the opinion of a
majority is that the ques-
ton will be easily settled by
the simple observation of the condition
of the ships hull plates in the neigh
bOrhOod of the hole which sunk her,
whether or not they are bulged OUT as
would be the case if the explosion came
from the inside, or whether they were
driven in, as would result from the at
tack of a torpedo or the explosion of a
mine beneath the ship. The large ma
jority of naval officers are inclined
to the belief that the explosion re-
suited from spontaneous combustion
of a coal bunker; the over-heating
of the iron partitions between
the boilers and the magazine or from
the explosion of a boiler, though the
last theory finds little support. The
lists of survivors that came to the navy
department Wednesday afternoon in
answer to kilograms was inaccurate
and made out the loss of life eight
more than the summary originally
given by Capt. Sigsbee in an earlier
telegram, SO Secretary Long tele-
graphed for another corrected list and
also one that should show who Ee5re
not wounded of the survivors.
1t was found necessary to do this
owing to the great number of pitiful

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE news of
the Maine disaster was learned at the
Spanish legation with horror and was
the occasion for many expressions of
the most profound regret and cOndol-
ence. Early in the day Senior Du Bose,
the Spanish charge d'affaires. received
a message from Capt. Gen. Blanco
which had been filed at Havana at 2
o'clock Wednesday morning. 1t read
as follows:

to result from an explosion of the

 The landmarks and the regulations of Freemasonry give to every Mason tho means to enforce prohibition. Tho black ball is the right of every honest, true Mason to use to reject improper material.
