admiral wrote that he had not yet re-
covered his health and would be un-
able to go to sea with the squadron. He

Key West, and retain command Of the
squadron from that place so long MS 1t
remains in harbor there, relinquishlng
IL only when It becomes necessary for
the vessels to go to sea as squadron.
1t will be remembered that the adj

larial fever and had secured leave OF
absence for two weeks just before the
explosion on the Maine. He got MS far
as Tampa, but returned Immediately

day he had left in the hands of Capt

Bodies that Were Unpoticed Near the
Wreck-DIsposal of Clothing.

Havana, Feb. GA large quantity
of clothing has been taken from the
wreck and after 1t has been disinfect-
ed 1t will be given to the reconcentra-
dos.
The bodies of the missing officers,
Lieut.. Jenkins and Assistant Engineer
Merritt have not been recovered. The
divers reached the formers room, but
it was found that his body was not
there.
Thus far. the sharks have given no
trouble, but the vultures have left
scarcely anything but the skeletons OF
three men who were entangled in de-
bris very near the surface of the
water. The bodies were not noticed by
any one until the foul birds had com
pleted their CHASTITY. work. From the
hand of one. Chaplain Chadwick re-
moved deeply-chased gold ring for
purposes of identification.
Captain Chadwick said the total
number of missing is eighty-ilve or
eighty-six. and five have died in the

of their bodies being recovered, and
there is much doubt that any consider

has no present intention of doing so.
To-day has been the quietest since
the explosion. The wounded are all
doing we'll except Frederick G. Holzer,
who IL slightly worse. The divers
have been continually at work, but the
results of their labors, SO far as they
would throw light on the cause of the
explosion, are kept strictly for the
courty of inquiry.
II Is reported that twenty bodies
have been found under the forward
matches, but only three have been re-
moved. owing to the mass of chains
and wreckage In the way.
The officers of the court of inquiry
during their inspection of the wreck
today discovered, II is said, five armor
plates projecting from the water for
ward near the bow, which We're from
the bottom Of the ship. There is n
good deal OF speculation as to what
caused this, many contendlng that the
position of the plates shows that the
big magazine forward did not explode.
The divers. It Is believed by many, will
find very little of the structure of the
ship forward of the ten-inch turret.

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS.
1t is n Religious Movement Third Inter
national Convention.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 23.-Every incom-
ing train last night and today brought
large numbers of delegates and visitors
to the city to attend the third interna-
tional convention of the student vulun-
teer movement, Several large delega-
lions arrived on special trains.
Long before the hour for the opening
of the convention in the big Gray's
aimory. every seat in the auditorium
was occupied. The different flags for
twenty-three nations, as well as many
others, are draped about the building.
Two immense American and British
flags We're especially made by the deco
rators to drape the back of the plat
form. Between those two flags are the
words In large letters. THY Kingdom
Gene" surrounding an immense map
Of the world. showing the religions of
the various nations. The Inference
from this symbolic illustration is that
the Americans and British must take
the lead in making Gods kingdom a
reality in the whole world.
There are other mammoth maps of
Africa, South America and China.
Hanging upon the platform right over
the heads of the speakers, there have
been draped In great prominence the
yellow flag of China, with the dragon
painted on 1t. the moon-llke nag of
Japan, the diamond flag of Brazil and
the flag of Turkey.
When Mr.. John r. Mott. secretary
of the Worlds Student Christian fed

president of the convention. stepped to
the front OF the platform and faced
the vast audience, there We're hundreds;
OF persons standing. He called the

Iowa, special to the dispatch says: A
shocking tragedy was reported today

REACHING AFTER TRADE.
Now York Business Firms Want to supply
the PhllLppines.


New York. Sept. 3.-The business
men Of New York are already making
preparations for the commercial con-
quest of the Philippine islands. A doz-
en- or more export houses of this city
have sent agents to Manila to look over
the ground, the Manufacturers Asso-
ciation has arranged for elaborate re-
ports, and the Philadelphia Museum
has instructed Its commission, now
travelling in China, to proceed at once
to the conquered territory and report
upon the requirements of the markets
and to furnish such information as is
needed by the merchants and manufac-
turers of the United States who desire
to enter the trade.
The Pacific Mail steamship Company
has sent w. T.. Tisdel to London to
charter vessels for Il regular line of
steamships between San Francisco and
Manila, and Messrs. Charles II. Flint
and w. NJ. Wins of this city, and
Charles ii. Cramp and others of Phila-
delphia have organized under the laws
of New Jersey what they call the Poly
ncsian Steamship Company, which Will

our shipments thence by steam have
been either from San Francisco or Lon
don.
The new enterprise is called the

double the service, and the company is
now sending two steamers month
