ONE WEAK SPOT.

ONE WEAK SPOT.
An Indication that the court of in
quiry is either far from reaching any
conclusion, or else is disposed, with a
view to meeting future criticism, to col
lect all possible evidence, whether it
be deemed essential or not, is the call
to their assistance of experts. It has
already been a matter of comment
that. with all the ability comprised in
this court of inquiry, it has one weak
spot, namely, the lack of practical ex-
perience OF the construction of a ship
by its members. This is no part of
the duty of line officer, so that no
reflection is carried by the statement
To remedy their shortcomings, the
court has called upon the department
to send TO their aid a constructor and
carpenter, and, in compliance with
the request, Secretary Long has di-
rected Naval Constructor Hoover and
Carpenter Helm to report to the court
at Key West. 1t is expected that they
will go to Havana when the court re-
turns there, and from their familiarity
with the structure of the Maine, on
which both of the men worked when
she was built in the New York navy
yard, they will be of great assistance,
not only in suggesting easy methods
of work for the divers, but also in
identifying portions of the wreck The
latter consideration is oneaof the great
est Importance, in view of the state
ments that have come from Havana
that some of the ships bottom plates
have been found in the debris above
water. 1t is said at the department
that If this is true, the fact will be of
Importance, though it is added that it
will not necessarily be conclusive evil
dence as to the source of the explosion,
for it is conceivable that when the
xHrr.c rlr al
nave pulled with it some of the frames
and bottom plating, which are rigidly
attached by rivets. Without doubt the
TWO experts will be much better quail
fed than the line officers or divers to
identify any such piece of plate.
UNRELIABLE REPORTS.
No orders have gone out from the
department to the vessels of the
squadron today, and the officials stamp
as without foundation the report that
the squadron was yesterday ordered to
be held in readiness to sail for Ha-
vana. Likewise, it is said that no Sc
lection has yet been made of a cruiser
to proceed to Havana, but it is likely,
in case the court of inquiry should de-
sire to make the return trip to Havana
in cruiser, that Admiral Sicard would
be allowed to make his own selection
from among the vessels of his fleet.
No advices have been received at
either state or navy department that
would warrant the statement that the
Spanish officials in Havana have at
tempted to interpose any obstacles to
the prosecution of the work of the
wreckers on the Names hull. 1t is said
that the very latest phase of this mat
ter was sent out in the published dis
patch of Assistant Secretary Day, au-
thorizing the Spanish government to
prosecute an independent Investigation
by its own divers into the cause of the
loss OF the Maine. The department has

Second Days Session-Funeral of the

Key West, March 1.-The second
days session of the court of inquiry
is over and nothing new is known
regarding the fate OF the Maine, at all
events outside the members of the
court. Some who confidently declared
a week ago that the court had already
found that the vessel was Intentionally
blown up, have modified this conviction.

 the administration in regard to affairs i in Cuba is having its effect upon the i Cuhans. The members of the iunta in | Washington. at least. are quick to see the error of trying to force the insur- i gents into immediate control where the 1 American army has won victory. Senor | Quesada and other members of the junta in Washington have called upon the wardepartmcnt officials and assured them there was no dissatisfaction with the course of our government in Santi- ago and no disposition tD break with United States forces and authority. The representatives of the iunta eX- pressed the belief that if the Cubans under Garcia were dissatisfied il was because of misunderstanding. Itseems that messages have also been sent by juDta to Gen. Garcia and other officers. telling them their course was not ap. proved by the iunta, and if persisted in must result in injury tD the cause of the Cubans.
 This prompt action on he part Of the Cuban iunta is gratifying It indicates that the United States. by pursuing u course directed by tactful considera- tion, coupled with firmneSs. can man. age the situation in Cuba without se- rlous embarrassment. It is not SUP. prising that in the first flush of expect. atlon following the defeat of the Span- iardS' whom they had been fighting for a long time, the tubans should have sought to abuse the fruits of yirtory even though won by another.

SALEM'S HERO
An Awful ConAagratlon and Panic
Narrowly Averted
The Opera House Saved From Destruc-
ton by Tom Horgan's Presence
Of Mind.

While the large audience that
greeted the 1.-TWO Married Men" at
tue Reed last night were enjoying
the comedy, and while the fun was
at its height they little dreamed that
an act of heroism was taking place
behind the scenes that probably
aYerted tragedy such as Salem has
never in all her history experienced.
1t happened In the first act when the
play was in full swing. One OF the
ladies Of The troupe went TO the dress
Ing room when to her horror she saw
flames shooting from coal oil stove
used to warm the apartment. The
room was filed with gauze dresses
and surrounded by hanging scenery
aud had the flames reached them the
house would have been doomed.
Holding the dresses away from the
flames the actress summoned one Of
tue stage hands, who was at the foot
OF .he stairs, but he declined TO face
the danger, Tom HorRon, the stage
manager, saw the CLINT OF the fire from
his position across the stage, and
rushing around behind the scenery,
went TO the rescue.
He picked the blazing stove up 10
his hands and ran backwards with II,
out OF the dressing room, down the
stairs and out into the hall, where he
quenched the iiames with u curtain
which he tore from the hanging, but
not before IL had burned his hands
and wrists severely,
The play went on uninterrupted
while Tom walked the back OF the
stage with contarted face. The cur
tain fell and still the piucky lad gave
his directions and assisted In mCyiug

matter in their own hands and made
him desist.
