CHAPTER XII.


The results of ice Norris fist inquir-
les confirmed the truth Of Stephen
DeGne's statement that the marriage
had been a mock one. There was no
record of any such ceremony at the
lie gistrar-General's Office; and the Rev.
Silas Skinner (alias Rev. Jeremy
jones' although at first guardedly reti-
cent. was brought to admit, under the
influence of many WHISTLES hot" that
he did occasionally usurp clerical func-
tons, including the marriage service.
Moreover, Norris contrived TO lei Alice
see the scoundrel, and she at once rec
ognized him. So all doubts as to the
invalidity of the marriage" were set
at rest.
Then the business-like instincts Of
tie lawyer asserted themselves. 1t
was doubtful whether Stephen had
laid himself open TO criminal prosecu-
ton, however patent his moral guilt.
Conspiracy, al between him and the
drunken scoundrel who had masquer-
AIDED in clerical attire. would be hard
to s~ubstantiate. There was c0ntribut-
DRY negligence on Alice's part, which
might almost be distorted into conniv-
duct ~ tic ldIClCil CtTellOny. III was
still more doubtful whether such a
prosecution, ever IL possible would re-
suit in a conviction. And. IL II did.
Alice would benefit nothing apart from
the satisfaction of avenging herself
upon her betrayer. Was this good

on this INSCRIPTIONS barrister as

afford 10 brave the exposure which
awaited him II the case were made
public. 1t would mean social ostra-

1t would certainly exclude him from

Spain must produce the proofs that the
Maine was blown up by some other power
than that of Spanish torpedo. Wash
ington advices on Thursday stated that
officers of the navy did not believe that
there could have been an accidental ex-
plosion on the Maine from spontaneous
combustion or any other cause, when the
battle ship was lying Mt anchor without
steam in her boilers, or coal In her for
ward bunkers, and with only projecties
and such ammunition as might be explod-
ed by conclusion in her forward maga-
zine. While some officials at the Navy
Department talked of accidental explo-
sions, there were few of practical expe-
ricnce who did not privately scout such
theories, and said that to advance them
means to condemn the modern war vessel.
The corps of constructors at the Navy
Department insisted that the explosive
power must have come from the outside
of the vessel, because IL is their business
to prevent accidents Of this kind occurring
within the hull, and they claimed that IL
is impossible for the vessel TO have been
destroyed by an explosion in one of the
magazines. Chief Naval Constructor

COURT OF INQUIRY.
NAVAL BOARD TO SEARCH OUT
THE FACTS.
Several Days May Elapse Before Ver-
diet In Reached, but There WillBe No
Unnecessary Delay-Investigation to
He Rigid.
Four Men TO Decide.

On Thursday the court of inquiry to in
vestigate the cause of the Maine disaster
was called to meet i'm Havana by Admiral
Sicard. 1t is composed of the following
officers: Capt. William Il. Simpson, Capt.
French Il. Chadwick. Lieutenant Com
mander William p. Potter and Lieuten-
ant Commander Adolph Mark, judge ad-
vocate.' The verdict of these four naval
experts, writes Washington correspond
ent, may mean war with Spain.
Under the direction of Admiral Sicard,
says the correspondent, writing immedi-
ately after the calling of the court, the
members will hear evidence and examine
the debris. The splntered and twisted
hulk is expected to tell its own story. The
plates will be bent in or out. If all point
outward, the disaster was caused from
carelessness or probably treachery on
board the ship; if they point inward, then
to Spanish treachery from without. Be-
meath the waters of the harbor the divers
will turn their electric searchlights as
they search the deep for the submerged
debris of the once mighty battle ship.
They will report speedily to their SUI
periors. There will be no unnecessary de-
lay. Public opinion will not stand indef-
mite suspense. The verdict of the court
of inquiry will go to the Secretary of the
Navy and to the President There will
he cabinet meeting. There will be no
splitting Of hairs, no quibbling over off,
cial etiquette. This matter is executive;
it will not follow prcccdents; there are
none to follow

Hichborn said that al accidental expio-
sion was impossible, leaving the infer
ence that he believed the explosion to
have been due TO treacherous hands.
The President and his cabinet tried to
keep down the. excitement until full re-
ports could be received from Captain
Sigsbee. They did not care to base their
Judgment on dispatches that must be pass
ed upon by the Spanish censors in charge
of the telegraph wires at Havana. They
therefore followed the theory of an acci-
dental explosion because il would be- very
serious for the administration publicly to
assume that the Maine could have been
destroyed in any other way, until they
had the full details of this affair from the
commander of the ship.
1t is asserted by naval officers that the
harbor of Havana is full OF submarine
torpedoes, which need only an electrical
connection to make an explosion possible.
The theory that the Maine was destroyed
by torpedo found ready believers. No
body was willing to assert that the Span
ish Government was primarily RESPONSE
bic for touching off torpedo, but among
the hothcads roaming the streets OF Ha-
vana in the state Of excited feeling now
existing there are many, il is believed,
who would not hesitate 90 commit such

ing back to fill the great chasm torn by
the explosion, came the screams of wound
ed men and long red jets of flame.
Ten minutes later and the Maine, all
afre from stem to stern, began to settle
in the water. Over the side went the sail
ors, half clad or clad not at all, fiinging
themselves into the bay, still dazed, bruis-
ed and bleeding. Out of the red murk and
the horrible uproar could be heard the
loud voices of officers, ordering and di-
recting, cool and plucky in the face of
death, showing even in that hour of horror
the grand courage and the steady disci-
pline that won Mt New Orleans and Mo-
bile-the grandeur of Farragut, the iron
nerve of the Kearsarge's crew upon the
rock of Roncador. There were no weak
souls nor towards there; the officers held
place and power even as at dress review,
and to their coolness and their courage
is due the fact that the panic lid not re-
suit in even heavier loss of life than the
explosion and the water caused combined.
The nation mourns for those who per-
ished with the Maine. Such a startling
vision OF sudden death has not for years
been presented to the public mind. The
tragedy appeals to all American hearts.
For all must feel that the lost stood ready
ut an instant call to make of their bodies
a rampant between their country and their
country's foes. There have been few such
disasters in modern times. The catastro-
phes to the Royal George, TO the Victoria,
and, in Apia harbor, to the Nipsic, the
Vandalia and the Trenton are among the
few comparable to 1t.
A dispatch from Havana said that the
widest excitement prevailed In the CITY,
The wharves were crowded with thou
sands OF people. There was a rush and
hurry and il is claimed that the Spaniards
bent every energy TO the saving of the
doomed Americans. Out from the great
black sides of the Spanish warships, says
the dispatch, flew boat after boat and the
Spanish sailors never pulled faster oars.
Over the bay they skinned, seizing here
