CAPT. sIGsBEE SUSPICIOUS.
He Did Not Care to Take Coal in a,
Havana.

Among the people at the Arlington last
night who were discussing the explosion
was Joseph Mora, who is interested in the
celebrated Mora claim. who has just re-
turned from Havana. One week ago he
dined with Captain Sigsbee and General
Lee on board the Maine, and after dinner
Captain Sigsbee conducted him over the
vessel, and they went to the magazine
which it Is now alleged caused the explo-
sion. The captain told him that he had
very little ammunition there and it was
chiefly of the non-explosive kind, and re-
marked 1T was hardly enough to cause the
blowing up of launch.
The captain further remarked that he did
not care to coal at Havana, because he was
suspicious, and hoped TO be ordered to Key
West 10 take coal. This is taken to
show that the officers of the Maine were
some what suspicious of their surroundings,
and were on the lookout.
