On account of several cases OF measles
In the south end OF the city, the local
board OF health this morning concluded
to quarantine the following section OF
the city:
"All south of Hazledine avenue to
Fourth street. west az far as Nichols ave
nue., to Third street, to city limits on the
south"
The measles seem TO have taken a hold
on many OF the towns OF New Mexico
and the southwest, and OF course Albu-
querque, 40 centrally located, could not
escape this time.
The board OF health, however, states
that there should be no cause for alarm,
as the cases now In the city are being
properly handled and that the disease
has virtually been 'nipped In the bud,
az II were.

WAR WITH SPAIN
Is ALMOST CERTAIN !
The Destruction of the Maine was by
Foul Means.
EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVE OF THE FACT.

Havana. March 7.-NOt manydays will
be needed for Captain Sampson aud his
associates TO conclude the investigation.
The wTecking companies are making
progress In clearing their way through
superstTucture OF the Maine. During
the absence OF the board the naval de-
partment divers have been able 10 ex
tend their examination OF the plates OF
the hull. They found these plates twisted
as from an outside explosion. Every
thing previously learned regarding for
ward magazine being intact and the ex-
istence OF large quantities Of unex-
plOded ammunition has been confirmed
and strengthened.
without going into minute details, II
may be said that the navy department
divers have secured much technical evi.
dence from the condition Of the hull and
keel and the interior OF the wreck 20
show that the Maine explosion was due
TO foul play.
The starboard turret Of the Maine Is
found TO have been blown clear of the
ship. The turret now lies upturned on
the side and sunk deep in the mud. Its
present position Is regarded rs one more
proof OF the tremendous force of the ex-
plOsion exerted In the direction from the
port TO starbOard.
George Helm, the ships carpenter, has
made careful inspection OF the wreck.
He was detailed 10 this duty because OF
his perfect familiarity with all portions
of the vessel II IL understood that he
has privately confirmed the statements
OF Ensign PowesOn in reference 70 the
present position OF the Names bottom
plates and the shattered condition Of the
ships keel.
The services of the wreeking tug Right
Arm have been dispensed with, owing TO
disagreement between Capt. Magee OF
that craft and Capt. Sigsbee OF the
Maine. Capt. Msgee, 1t Is said, refused
TO let his men convey the bodies ~ re-
covered from the wreck to the dead barge,
few hundred yards away, asserting that
the contract did not call for such duty.
The Spanish divers have been working
slowly. They have made nothing more
than a superficial examination OF the
hull. II seems understood that the Span
ish admiralty board IL the Offor OF inyes.
tigatiOn Is finding little evidence TO give
plausible support TO the theory OF acci-
dent.
The Alfonso XIII OF the Spanish line,
arrived Sunday with fifteen hundred SOL
dlers from Spain.

YEsTERDAY's FIRE ALARMS,
Fire Broke Oat Twice In tho votaw Hous.
ON the HiRhlanda

Fire Broke Oat Twice In tho votaw House
ON the Highlands.
The people OF the city were startled
two times yesterday morning by the
mOcking bird whistle giving the alarm
OF fire. The first alarm was at 1896 a.
m, q small fire having been discovered In
the Votaw house on the Highlands oc
cupled by Isaac Lane and family. Both
No. l and No. 2 hose companies turned
out, but were notified that the lire was
out before they reached II and they
turned back.
At 1920 the second alarm was turned
In from the same place. This time the
fire department reached the scene OF the
fire, but Its services were not required
In extinRuishing the flames, which were
put out with one bucket OF water.
The fire was caused by defective fiue.
Some OF the wall paper caught Gre aud
started the little blaze.
The mOcking bird was worked under
difficulties yesterday owing % broken
lever. The Ice plant will probably close
down for repairs In short time when Il
is intended TO substitute a tw0-inch pipe
and valve for the inch and a half pipe
now used with the mOcklng bird. This
will undoubtedly have the desired effect
In making II heard for miles around In

at the capital to-day, especially on the
house door, was unanimous In support Of
the action Of the president in declining
10 recall General Lee. The immense
gravity OF the situation seemed pro
f0undly TO impress the members. With

the unanimous desire expressed was In
support OF any measures that he may
deem necessary.
1t can be stated on the highest author
ity that the attitude OF Speaker Reed and
some other republican leaders who have
sought to keep down the lingo" spirit In
the house. has been misunderstood by the
public. Their purpose in delaying action
on the bill creating two additional regi-
ments OF artillery was TO prevent, as far
az possible, any undue alarm. Republi
can leaders OF the house have given
the administration assurances that any
emergency action which may be deemed
necessary TO uphold the dignity OF the
country will be promptly ratified.
