/ WASHINGTON, Feb. q, - The ar-
rival 0: a mall In Washington from Key
West this afternoon. bringing several
priva:e letters from naval officers lately
attached To the Maine. caused q wave OF
excitement to run over the departments
and the capitol, for there were all sor,s
OF rumors AZ TO the contents OF these
letters, very few Of which rumors In
point Of fact had any sound basis. The
only feature as far MS could be discov-
cred OF real importance as throwing any
light on the cause OF the explosion con-
tained in the letters, was the statement
that the two after boilers IN the after
boiler sDace were all OF the eight boilers
OF the Maine that were under stcam at
the time OF the explosion. This fact had
q negative value, for It disposed at once
OF the theory that an exploding boiler
had caused the wreck. The experts all
say that by no possibility could the after
boilers explosion have wrecked tho
forepart OF the Maine and lcft the after
part almost unharmed.
Much interest was shown in q dispatch
received shortly before o'clock from
Admiral SIcard. giving the recommended

This was regarded rs partial confirm

OF the ship did not necessarily mean
that the forward magazine had e1ploL-
