I.s Proceedings Being Guarded with Un-
 usual Closeness.
 KEY WEST. Fla, March 3.-The fact is proving more evident, as the days pass, that any information direct from members of the United States court of inquiry into the loss of the battleship Maine, and from those ap- bearing before it, is guarded with unusual closeness. Practically no ln- formation presented to the court has been disclosed. The restrictions are so severe that the communications be- tween the naval men who have been before the court have been most guarded.
 Naval officers at this station who are not connected with the court express the guarded view that very little testi. mony has vet been heard tending to show that the explosion was the result ot a conspiracy or as to the exact cause of the disaster
