Bowlts saiu that the theory that the
Maine WAS wrecked by an explosion OF
her own magazines was all nonsense.
He did not believe, either, that gun
bottom could have caus, the disaster.
1.-The Maine has teen in commii sion
for some years, +" said Cons ructOr
Bowles, "and 1t seems strange that she
should walt until she got To Havana to
have an explosion on board. 1 cannot
understand how it could have happened. -
An officer nt the Navy Yard said that ne
believed that one of the Names boilers
had exploded, and that the war head of
one Of the eight torpedoss carried by the
Maine had exploded. The fire, which
broke out Immediately after the explo-
sion, and the length of time the Maine
remained Gfloat led this Office, to favor
the torpedo head OF boiler explosion theory.
The torpedo heads would have exploded
If the gun cotton, with which they are
filled, bad become dry.
Had n torpedo or other con trivanc-
been exploded under the Maine" con
tinued this officer, sit would have torn
such a hGle in her hull that She woul 1
have sunk almost immediately.
The more prominent and conservative
Cubans seen ut the junta today said they
were sure that the disaster was the re >
suit of an accident There were many
Cubsns. however, who favored the idea
that the men on the Maine met their
death through Spanish treaohery.

STRIKERS
ARRESTED.
lnrce Of Those at Centre
vile Fined
ON CHARGE OF REvELING
Followed Operatives and Pelted
Them With SnOvballs.
THE ARRESTS BROUGHT QUIET.

The first arrests in connection with the
strike at the Lapham mill at Centreville were
made this morning, when deputy sheriff NJ.
b. Lynch took into custody three of the strik-
ers. who have been making themselves partic-
ulary obnoxious and carried them to East
Greenwich. where they were arraigned before
Judge Tilley and fined s. ana costs each on
the charge Of reyeling.
Last evening the strikers gathered in the
vicinity Of the mill and made themselves par-
ticularly disagreeable 10 those who were re-
turning from work and In spite OF the mum
bcr of officers present n number of the opera
tiyes were struck by snowhalls and although
they were not badly hurt, they were so much
frightened that this morning some of them
were afraid TO return 20 work
The officers as soon as they saw that the
strikers meant to make trouble mingled with
tho crowd and notified some Of the more pug
nacious that il they did not return 10 their
homes at once they would be arrested but the
warning did not seem 10 have the desired eff
feet and the officers cleared the street. Some
of the strikers, however, followed the opera
tives who had been at work to their homes
and threatened not only 10 injure them, but
20 burn the houses in which they lived IL they
persisted in keepin their looms IN operation.
The offers who were keeping close watch on
the actions of the strikers singled out few
of the ringleaders and this morning when the
weavers entered the mills and another dem
onstration was attempted Leon Joubert, Carl
Loven and Louise Bissette,w hoehave been the
most prominent figures in the strike were ar
rested.
The arrests had very salutary effect ON
the crowd which slowly dispersed.

A LONDON VIEW.

London, Feb. l6-The st. James Gazette
leans TO the supposition that the disaster was
brought by an explosion in the magazine
which is beneath the forecastle and as far as
possible from the engine fires.
Adding: at remains, however, TO be ox-
planned how ~ magazine carefully guarded
could be fred. As bearing upon this, how
ever, il must be borne in mind that discipline
on American warship is usually. to English
ideas, rather lax 20
''Anotber possibility which Is directly sug-
gestcd is that the disaster was producei by an
agency outside the vessel the explosion of a
submarine mine or torpedo, caused accident

gests the thought that the outrage was perpe-
trated by Spanish conspirators or Cuban in
ugents inccnsed from whatever motive.against
