San Francisco, Feb. lS.-The mys-
terry surrounding the destruction of the
battleship Maine is still unsolved'
From present indications il may devel-
ope that the explosion was caused by a
bomb from within the ship. From re-
marks overheard by Americans in Hav-
ana prior to the explosion, the act of an
enemy looks very significant. Pres.
Mckinley says it was an accident.
Spain is alarmed and apologized yes
terday for the DE Lone letter. A Court
of Inquiry has been ordered, composed
of Capt. Sedgwick. Commander Potter,
and Lieutenant Commander Murray to
go TO Havana at once. Pres. Mckinley
may ask for war loan aud it is said
the War Department has decided TO
mobilize the militia on the southern
coast for transfer TO Cuba In case OF
war About 260 lives were lost. The
funeral of the bodies recovered took
place in Havana yesterday. Every
mark Of respect possible was shown by
the higher Spanish although the rabble
by jeers and insults showed their hatred
for Americans.

The st. Valentine . Ball.

The dance ON last Monday evening
was decided success. The floor was a
little crowded during the early part of
the evening but after supper there was
an abundance of room and everybody
seemed bent an having a good time.
The music was furnished by Messrs.
Campbell Miles, Warren and Banks
in their usual satisfactory manner.
\ pleasing diversion was created In
the early part of the evening by the
exhibition OF contortion work given by
Mr.. T.. r. Polrier. Some of his twist
ing feats are truely wonderful. His
whistling was somewhat disappointing,
but in justice to the gentleman it should
be said that his face was badly swollen
from an liberated tooth and it was only
through desire not to disappoint
those who had gathered TO hear him
that he consented to appear at all.

Work Progressing at the Robust

the work ON the experimental plant at

A FLOATING TORPEDO
DESTROYED THE MAINE
Seen by a Sailor on Board.

The following telephone message was
received by the NEWS from Eureka
this afternoon, just before going to
press.
One of the sailors while looking over
the Maine's bow into the dark waters
of the bay saw dark object coming
towards the vessel, whatever it was it
was powerfully illuminated and emitted
smoke. He suspected something wrong
aud started to communicate the fact to
the officer of the day, and had barely
commenced to tell what he had seen,
when the explosion took place. The
Maine was raised in the air, and he was
thrown To the deck, stunned and bleed
ing. He also says that simultaneously,
with the raising of the Maine, he saw
the steam launch, which was lying along
side thrown out Of the water. This oc-
currod before the second explosion in
the Names magazine was felt. She
then sank to the bottom. The New
York and Cushing are now ON their
way to Havana.
The voice of labor Is for war and
30, 900 men have been offered to the
President. Everything points to the
belief that the disaster was not an ac-
cident, and Spain will have to prove
her innocence. Captain Sigsbee was
handed a circular by Spaniard while
in crowd ON shore, which contained
a threat. II is said that the diver found
an 8 inch hole in the bottom Of the
Maine.
