search for the cause OF the Names loss.
The naval ofiicials are now resigned to
await the results Of that inquiry by a
court named yesterday by the navy de-
partment. There wa Nlittle ney TO add

disaster during the fc' boon. No tele-
grams came, and all Wat could be

gave every indication ofths profoundest
respect. Crowns were received from
the carsain of the port, the mayor Of
Havana and the officers OF the port.
These were in the Spanish national coll

peoocs could nave eXploded, under the

not explained; neither was it explained
how the Maine could have been sunk in
few minutes by the water that came
in through such a hole when she had
pumps that could have thrown it out
faster than it came in. But it made
great sensational news for big heads.
1t is said at the department that the
naval court of inquiry which is to in
vestigate the disaster can scarcely as
semble for the work at Havana before
next Monday. The navy department
authorizes a denial of the statement at
tributed to Captain Sigsbee that he
recommended TO the department before
he sailed for Havana that no other ship
than the Maine be sent to havana be-
cause the harbor was too dangerous
owing to the number of torpedoes
planted in the bottom. As a matter of
fact Captain Sigsbee had not the
slightest hint given him that his ship
was to be selected for the visit twelve
hours before his departure.
The government has received many
kilograms of sympathy and coincidence
over the Maine disaster, besides COM
munications from the diplomats resid-
ing here. One from Sir Julian Paunce-
fote conveys the deep sympathy of her
majesty Queen Victoria. A telegram
from Berlin of a similar character is
signed William I. r." Then there was
one from the Central America Greater
Republic; one from the British ad-
miralty; one from the Prince and
Princess of Wales. and another from
the Duke Of Connaught Turkey also
sent sympathy. so did France and
Russia. Captain General Blanco also
sent sent a message, as did the Spanish
cabinet.
