session. The court met for the after
noon session at l:30. ard Lieutenant

officer % the Maine. was called to the
witness stand. Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright has b,en In immediate
charge Of the wreck since the explosion.
Four divers are at work. two In the
fore part Of the ship and the others aft.
The task Is most labOr.ous. and the men
are naturally extremely careful. as they
have had to work In complete darkness,
and several have had bad falls. Electric
lights from jhs MaEgrove are now
available and much good Is expected
from them.
Nearly all the possible salvage has
now been made from the cabin aft. The
efforts to reach the ward and mess
rooms are frustrated by some unknown
obstacle. u Is expected 20 find bodies
In those rooms. Two cases Of ten-inch
ammunition have been found. the one
having exploded. the other full Of
powder. These were found forward.
The work % securing the bodies under
the hatch has been most difficult in the
dark. but II Is hoped that the electric
lights Will be Of great assistance. The
bodies are much mutilated and some
are partially burned. The officers OF the
court 20 inquiry paid another visit TO
the wreck yesterday. Captain Sampson.
after the visits 81 the members OF the
court % the captain general and Ad-
mfral Msnterols. said the reception ex-

pressed deep sympathy and the hope
that nothing would Interfere to prevent

MYsTIC.KREWE OF K0MUs.
One Of the Most Gorgeous Pascants Ever
Seen In New Orleans.

New Orleans, Feb. 23.-Last night the
Mystic Krewe Of Komus appeared on
the streets with one Of the most gor-
geous and at the same time interesting
pageants that has ever appeared in
New Orleans. The theme was Shakes
pcare" and all the familiar characters
and plays were pictured with a faith
fulness and splendor unsurpassed. Aft
er the parade the Mystic Krewe enter
taincd with a grand ball at the French
Opera House.
Rex entertained his loyal subjects
with ball at the Imperial palace, which
was gorgeously decorated. The throne
was erected at one end Of the spacious
ball room and decorated in the royal
colors and garnet and ermine. The
king. Charles A. Farwell. a well-known
sugar planter. chose as his queen Miss
Noel Forsythe. a beautiful young wom-

though she had been born to the pur-

CRAMP SEES PHOTOGRAPHS,
What the Ship Builder Says of the Expl
sions on the Maine.

Philadelphia, Feb. "a number OF
photographs of the wrecked battleship
Maine, taken soon after the explosion
occurred, were submitted to Charles II.
Cramp yesterday for expert opinion.
After carefully examining them Mr..
Cramp said:
After seeing the pictures 1 am more
undetermined than ever as to the real
cause of the disaster. The appearance
Of the wreck indicates that there were
two or more terrific explosions. One
thing is certain, if the wreck is as bad
below the water as it appears to be
above, and the inference is natural that
the portion covered by the water is in
worse state than that above, the gov
eminent will never be able to raise the
torn and twisted mass of steel except
by the use Of Golfer dams. In my opin-
ion the proposition to raise what is left
of her with pontoons is impracticable
and the building of Golfer dams is alb.
sClutely necessary"
