moving the Debris OF the Maine Captain
Samp ;on Indisposed.
Havana, March 10.-Captain Samp-
son. who has been exposed to the sun
while on the wreck lately, is some
what indisposed to-day, but the doctor
on the Montgomery says he has no ap-
prehension Of a serious illness.
The Spanish divers avoid the noon
day heat, working in the morning and
evening.
Two divers were examined by the
American court Of inquiry to-day as TO
their recent observations at the wreck.
The work of wrecking appears very
slow Ii any real progress is made,
it is scarcely apparent from day to
day. Still, it is hoped that when the
upper debris has been removed to the
barge more bodies will be recovered.
1t may be, however, that the last body
retaining a shape recognizable as hui
man has been removed from the Maine.
Chaplain Chadwick to-day, from de-
scriptions in enlistment papers, ident-
flied two bodies that were buried at
Colon cemetery together some days ago
as those of Joseph l. Gordon and john
son, both colored.
The officers and men Of the Mont
gomery are still refused shore leave.
They devote much time to drill and
setting up exercise, the latter exclt-
ing much interest, especially to the
sailors on the Spanish ships, where
the tactics are quite different.
Consul General Lee called to-day on
Commander Converse, of the Mont
gomery.
The Congressional tourists are likely
to remain ten days or a fortnight, as
the health regulations would prevent
an earlier departure, even if desired.
Ten O'Clock tomorrow morning has
been fixed as the time for the call OF
ceremony on General Blanco.
There is official authority for the
statement that the Spanish court OF
inquiry will make its decision public
as soon as reached.
