was practically whipped. After the
eighth round Referee Macarthur de-
ciared the fight a draw, a decision
which was very unpopular.
Macarthur was obliged to stay in tba
ring, guarded by the police. until the
gymnasium was partly cleared, so great
was the feeling against him over the
decision. Lawler was a to favor

OUR WRECK IN HAVANA HARBOR.
econtinued from page u


Captain Sigsbee's request of yesterday
to be furnished with the plans of the
Names section through the magazines
and coal bunker pockets. The refer
ence TO the latter is particularly inter-
esting, and leads to a desire to be in
FORMED on the exact quantity and quail
ity q t-is coal supply at the time of
tt-e explosion. 1t is said that these
pocket bunkers are rarely emptied, be-
ing designed as much for the protection
of the ship against gunshots as for
capacity TO hold coal. One expert says
that these bunkers, in his own exper-
fence, have not been emptied in months.
All of this has much to do with the
spontaneous combustion theory, as the
bunkers abut on the magazines, and
might have set off even the safe brown
powder, if the latter were exposed TO
a degree of heat above 900 degrees for
some time.
The request besides, may show that
Captain Sigsbee is not yet satisfied as
to- the cause of the explosion, notwith-
standing the expressions that have been
attributed to him by unauthorized per-
sons.

started for the Maine, arriving there in
about 25 minutes. Then all was quiet
and smooth and, in fact, as he said,
in five minutes after the blast, the
Maine was in about her present condi-
ton.
Some soiicitude was expressed at the
navy department over the report of Ad-
miral Sicard's health. 1t was said,
however, that there was no occasion for
relieving him now, that the flagship
New York is not TO leave Key West,
and even if she should Captain Samp-
son or Captain Taylor can assume
charge of the squadron while the adj
miral takes two weeks leave, which he
was about to enjoy when he voluntar-
lily returned to his place.
NAVAL ORDERS.
A formal order was made out this
afternoon for Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright to take station at Havana
and look after the governments inter-
eStS while the work of wrecking the

ranged that he shall be subsisted on

PRATED OF NATIONAL HONOR.

Yet in the last campaign these same
people Drated of national honor when
financial question was before the country.
Then it was national SonOr. A few DAYS
ago, when the natiol, head was bowed,
and the dismembered fragments of her
dead were going to their graves, they
seemed utterly oDliviOus TO her grief. He
had no desire. he said. to reflect upon the
rich. There was a distinction between
those who employed capital in d produce
tive capacity and those who were drones
and users of wealth. who toiled not. but
who dared to disturb the hours of the ma
tion's mourning with this insult to the
dead. (Applause.)
He would not hesitate. he said. so far
as he was concerned. to endeavOr to free
the skirts of the Republican party from
association with these mere possessors
and sDenders of riches who assumed to
represent national honor when they
thought their bonds were threatened but
who had rot a tear for those who went
TO their graves in its defense. (Renewed
applause.)

SENATE OPPOSED TO WARLIKE DECLARATIONS
PENDING INQUIRY INTO THE MAINE DISASTER

: in favor of granting belligerent rights
to the Cubans at once.
Mr.. Hale made the point of order
, against the amendment that it was
general legislation and had, under the
rules, no place in the bill. The wee
president sustained the point and Mr..
Allen took an appeal from the ruling.
Upon this Mr.. Turpie Ind.) deliv-
cred an extended speech in support of
the ruling of the chair, although he
was personally in favor of the propO-
sition contained in the amendment
Mr. Clay (Ga-) also supported the
ruling of the chairman, while he said
he would vote for any independent
proposition for the relief of the Gu
bans.
Mr.. Mason Qlls.) said he could not
be deferred either from sustaining or
opposing the ruling of the chair by
any overgrown reverence he had for
the rules OF the senate, or of any other
alleged deliberative body, but he said
he desired to appeal to Mr.. Hale to
let the bill go over for a few days in
order that senators might examine into
the rules and authorities bearing upon
them.
BACON'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Bacon (Ga.), speaking in sup
port of the ruling of the chair, drew
from the galleries an enthusiastic
round of applause, which was quickly
suppressed, however, by the vice presi-
dent. He said that one of the greatest
causes ever tried before the nations of
the world was now being tried in Ha-
vana- Let us do nothing" said he.
that will in the least way embarrass
those who are conducting that investi-
cation. The wreck of the Maine now
lies on the bottom of the Havana har-
Dor. The facts relating to the explo-
sion are being sought officially and in
teiligently by competent court of in
curry, and we ought to do nothing that
VIII in the slightest manner interfere
with the progress of that work. What
we desire is to know the facts. If If
should be found that the explosion was
Que TO an accident, thus far evident. !
we must know that If, however. il
should be disclosed that it was due to |
treachery, the whole world will an
plaud the action of this country in !
holding to strict account the country
IN whose friendly harbor that awful |
disaster occurred"
Mr.. Bacon pointed out that any IN
friendly action on the part of the
United States toward Spain might |
cause that nation to interfere with the
conduct of the investigation. He sug-
sested that now was the time for con-
sress and the American people to re-
nam quiet and not to agitate an al
'eady critical situation by discussion
'Henslve to a friendly nation.
