sion In the harbor here on Tuesday night
proves to be the worst disaster In the na-
val history OF the United States. The
splendid warship was destroyed, and latest
reports put the loss OF life at 25S. The
cause Of the explosion remains q mystery,
although naval officers generally believe
that in some unexplained way one Of the
ship's magazines exploded. UP to the mo-
ment Of that mysterious explosion, which
destroyed flrst-class battleship, valued
at $4,000 900, Spain and the United States
had each seven vessels like the Maine
great ships, built to fight and destroy.
Now Spain has seven and the United States
has six.
Witnesses Of the explosion that destroyed
the Maine say that at the moment OF con-
cussion vast mass was seen to rise to
great height. In the sudden and binding
light no one seems to have been able to dis
Germ the nature Of this mas or whether 1t
rosa from beside the battleship or inside 1t.
From the nature Of the disaster and the
testimony Of the survivors II appears that
the line OF greatest force OF the explosion
was a little forward Of amidships. It
! is there that the worst damage was
done. The chief officers were either well
aft or ashore. Thus they escaped unhurt.
The seamen and marines by their position
were forced to bear the brunt OF the dis
aster, and the fyightful mortality was
almost wholly confined to them. One OF
the junior officers should have been on duty
on the forward deck, and 1t may have been
thus that Lieutenant jenkins, who Is miss
ing, lost his life. It Is also probable that
Engineer Merritt. another missing man,
was below on duty and went down with the
ship. Lieutenant Commander Richard
Wainwright, who was at first reported lost.
Is safe.
Five of the crew Immediately after the
explosion ran to the main ammunition
storage room with the idea that they might
save that from explosion. None OF them
has since been heard Of. 1t Is almost GER
tain that they went to the bottom, ready
at their posts for duty.
When the roar of the explosion an
nounced to the people Of Havana that the
warship was blown up the city fremen
were at once ordered to the ship. but 1t was
found that 1t was impossible for them to
render any assistance there. Twenty-slx
of the wounded were transferred to the
steamship City of Washington. where they
were properly attended to. Many OF the
Havana physicians volunteered their SER
vices.
Thirty-hve other WOUNDED sailors re-
sceiyed medical attendance at the Military
Hospital. The Spanish theory OF the cause
Of the accident Is that a boiler exploded
Many towboats and other vessels were busy
all night trying to render all possible as
sistance. The wounded were taken to the
hospital by the flremen.
The wreck took fire and sank, and soon
the harbor was lit up by the flames, fed
chiefly by the ipfammable celluloss con-
tanned in the forward and after ends. The
wreck burned the long night through, and
when broke the dawn, dark wreaths Of
smoke were still curling upward from the
shapeless mass. At sunrise all flags In the
harbor were at half mast.
