cause being an explosion of the boiler
of the dynamo. This was the only
specific cause assigned from an official
source during the day.
The disaster is remarkable in that
only two officers lost their lives. and
these were of junior grades. They were
Lieutenant Friend w. jenkins and AS
sistant Engineer Darwin r. Merritt
The former was unmarried, but leaves
a mother and sister. The latter, it is
thought, also was unmarried, but the
department was unadvised concerning
his family
Senator Perkins, of California, who
has been navigator all his life and
knows thoroughly every detail in the
construction and handling of great
ships, said: Il cannot conceive that
such an explosion as that which is re-
ported to have wrecked the Maine
could have resulted from an accident.
The chances, it seems to me, are 999
in 900 that the calamity did not result
from accident. The ammunition on a
warship is fixed ammunition, which is
not in contact with anything at all
likely to produce an explosion. The
discipline of both officers and men on
the Maine, as well as on every other
vessel, is such that the explosion could
not have been caused by any action
of any one of them. BY the simple
pressure of an electric button any
magazine on board the vessel could be
instantly submerged, and no fire could
gain such Roadway as to endanger any
of the magazines without discovery.
That it was due to treachery l am con-
vinced."
Senator Mills, of the committee on
foreign relations, said: Il would not
say that the Spanish were responsible
for it, but some one must have been
who had free access to the waters of
the bay. do not think it could have
been due to an accident"
Mr. Cummings, of New York, a mem
Der of the naval committee, unhesita-
tingly gave it as his opinion that the
ship had been blown up by floating
torpedo.
Senator German, of Maryland: "It
is most appalling disaster, but no one
attempts at this distance, and before
any facts are given, to place the respon-
sibility,'
Representative Newlands, of Nevada,
member of the committee on foreign af-
fairs, said it would be very hard to
convince the American people that the
explosion was an accident.
General Joseph Wheeler, the ex-Con-
federate cavalry commander, now
member of the house from Alabama.
sent the following message to the presi-
dent: "In the case of any trouble with
Spain, remember that my tender of

In buying fertilizer don't de-
pend on what the agent or manu-
facturer tells you. Have them to
refer you to farmers who have used
it not only one year but several.
Go and see those men, talk to them,
find out the facts, and then buy
your fertilizer from the man that
will give you the
Most and Best Plant Food
for your money. l could tell you
how l raise from twenty-five to
thirty acres ofearly potatoes yearly,
twelve acres of asparagus, some
other truck, cut from seventy-fve
to one hundred loads of hay, sell
the biggest share of it, don't buy
manure and don't keep much stock,
but it will take too much space. 1t
might pay you to look it UP.
Here's testimonial from one of
our wide-awake money making far
mers:
WARREN ATKINSON,
Cherry Lawn Farm,
Mullica Hill, N. j.:
Dear Sir II have used your
high grade fertilizer with very sat
isfactory results for the past five
years. AS long as you keep it as
good as it now is ! want no other.
/ have tried several other brands
sold in the county. Yours is al
ways ahead. For me it has been
great early cantaloup and early to-
mato forcer. Where l used it on
early tomatoes last years in connec-
ton with manure the crop was fully
one-third more than where manure
was used alone. Alongside of this
fertilizer I used another brand on
my tomatoes with not near as good
results.
For early white potatoes it is a
complete fertilizer used either with
or without manure. Last year my
early potatoes were planted on
ground that, owing to a dry sea
son, produced about thirty (3o) bus.
of corn to the acre the previous
year. spread moderate quantity
of homemade manure broadcast,
blowing it in and commenced plant
ing potatoes on the 9Th of April,
with a Robbins potato planter,
using from 1000 to 1900 lbs. of
your high-grade potato and early
truck fertilizer per acre. / COM
menced to dig these potatoes for
market the 18th of June, while
green and growing fast. They
yielded at the rate Of goo baskets
per acre. The average yield when
through digging of S acres the 2Ist
Of June was over 900 baskets, or 60
barrels per acre. A half acre that
was left to mature yielded over $50
baskets, or 90 barrels per acre.
Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH NJ. ADAMS.
Mullica Hill, N. J., Jan. 20, 1898.
Don't delay in sending your order
for fertilizer. Order promptly The
money-making part of my business
is my farm. When work opens in
the Spring and | get busy with
those early potatoes and asparagus
I don't want to bother much with
fertilizer away FROM home.

Guile the ACCIDENT, Theory.


Guile the ''Accident'' Theory.
Key West, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE steam
ship Olivette arrived here last night
with large number of the wounded
and many other survivors of the Maine
disaster. The otncers were, as rule,
reticent, and followed in line with their
chief, Sigsbee, in saying that the cause
of the explosion could only be ascer-
tanned by divers, but many of the sail
ors were outspoken in their declaration
of belief that the explosion was a deep
laid plot of the Spaniards. They are
greatly incensed against the Havana
people, who have shown them small
courtesy, who looked upon their pres
ence as a national affront, and who
have published anonymous circulars
captioned Down with the Americans"
They believe that the author of such
expressed and cowardly hatred would
not stop at an act of such terrible ven
geance as the blowing up of the Maine.
These sailors, acquainted with the
drills, discipline and ensemble of
man-of- war, pooh-pooh the idea of an
internal explosion as the last thing to
be thought of.

now THE MARIA TERESA SANK
Further Particulars Regarding tho Dis
Aster That OVsrtook the EOrmsr
Spanish Cruiser.

Charleston, s. c., Nov. 1.-THE ocean
tug Merritt put into Charleston and
reported the loss of the Maria Teresa,
raised by Constructor Hobson recently,
off San Salvador, Bahamas November
l in the midst Of furious storm. The
cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on the
morning Of October 80, in tow for New
York. She had already passed Cape
Maysi and started northeast around
the Bahamas. A furious storm, warm
ing of which had already been sent
out, overlook her and in her condition
she was unable to weather the gale.
The strain opened rents in her hull,
which had been patched to enable her
to make the journey, and she began to
fill rapidly. The Merritt took off
Capt Harris and the crew from the
sinking ship and she soon went down.
The Merritt brought the captain and
1856 men, who will proceed north by
rail- No lives were lost. AS near as
can be calculated the Maria Teresa lies
in about 1900 fathoms OF water, or
nearly three miles. The location is "a
degrees north latitude by 1880 west
longitude, about 1856 miles distant from
Nassau. At the time the Teresa sunk
she was about $40 miles distant from
Caimanera, the port from which she
started little over two days before.
