Washington, May 3-The conclusion
at which some have jumped that the war
will end with the Manila victory is not
shared by those who have the business
of conducting THE war in charge. The
defeat at Manila will undoubtedly break
the power of Spain IN the east, but it is

war will net be reached before the first

Master Cyril a new little brother, with
whom he was told he would always be
able to play. When therefore he saw
another stranger, who seemed as if she,

her, with his hands in his pockets, and,
glancing at her in a casual sort of a
way. contemptuously remarked to him

which isregarded as the happiest season.
On Feb. 3, therefore the project of

MESSAGE FROM CAPT. SIGSBEE
NOTIFYING NAVY DEPARTMENT or
THE LOSS OF HIS VESSEL.
Most of the Sailors Asleep at the
Time of the Disaster and Unable
to Give an Explanation.

The battle ship Maine was destroyed by
an explosion while anchored in Havana
harbor last night. Two hundred or more
of the crew of nearly nine hundred men
are missing and are supposed to have been
either killed or drowned. while many others
were injured, how seriously is not yet
known.
kilograms received by the Journal up to 6
o'clock this morning Go not definitely deter
mine the cause of the disaster. 1t is re-
ported that one of the powder magazines
blew up and wrecked the ship to such an
extent that she sunk soon afterwards The
sailors were in their hunks at the time,
and they are unable to explain how it hap
pened.
Captain Sigsbee, who was in command of
the battle ship, in a message to the Navy
Department, asks for suspension of pub
lie opinion until the cause of the disaster is
investigated. One dispatch from Havana
was so indefinite that the Journal asked
that it be repeated, but the sender said it
was according to copy" 1t reads: "Ad-
miral Manterola. believes that the first ex-
plosion was of a grenade shell that was
hurled over the navy yard"
There We're rumors on the wire that the
battle ship had been blown up by Spaniards
but no news came from Havana on which
these reports could be based. The officers
of the Spanish cruisers in the harbor as
sisted in saving the crew of the Maine and
caring for the wounded and nothing so far
received from either Captain Sigsbee or
Consul General Lee can be construed into
even an insinuation that the Spaniards
We're responsible for the explosion.
President Mckinley was Informed of the
disaster this morning. Secretary Long. of
the Navy Department, has issued orders for
the dispatch of relief boats from Key West
to Havana, and they will arrive at the
scene to-day

BILLINGS FOUND GUILTY.
Pay Director of the United States
Navy to BE Dismissed.

WASHINGTON Feb. 15.-Luther G. Bill
lings, pay director in the United States
navy, has been found guilty by a court
martial which has been in session at the
Washington navy yard for the past few
days. of falsehood and scandalous conduct.
and has been sentenced to dismissal from
the navy. The result of the trial caused
the greatest surprise in naval circles.
The accused held the highest rank in the
naval pay corps, has a host of friends and
has never before been suspected of mscon-
duct. The offense charged against him was
in connection with the supply to the navy
of an emergency ration. 1t was shown that
he, as patentee of such ration, had turned
it over to stock company in which he re-
tanned an interest, although he had officially
denied the interest, and that he had been
instrumental in selling the ration to the
government. The amount of profit at stake
was so small as to make his conduct in
explicable to the department, but Secretary
Long. after a thorough investigation him
self, decided that court-martial was neces-
sary, as it was desirable to have it under
stood in the most formal fashion that un-
der no conditions should naval officers en-
ter into connection that might place their
integrity under the faintest suspicious 1t
is felt that this result has now been at
tanned as the result of thesconviction of the
accused nay inspector.

Department thinks it is possible that they
were on shore at the time of the accident
The secretary of the navy received an
other dispatch from Key West at the same
time with above, but it's contents were not
made public The orders for the lighthouse
tenders were at once sent to Key West in
plain language, thus avoiding the delay
that would have arisen from the use of
cipher.
Secretary Long received Captain sisgbee's
dispatch but few minutes before the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches from Havana were
handed to him. He received the news with
apparent calm, and his first act was to COM
ply with Captain Sisgbees. request that as
sistance be sent from Key West. He i'm
mediately wired Captain Forsythe at Key
West to proceed with the naval tender Fern
to Havana harbor. Secretary Long then
sent for Captain Dickens, and the two dis
cussed Captain sigsbee's brief telegram. No
other naval officers We're present, and be-
sides the secretary and Captain Dickens the
naval colony here is ignorant of this disas-
ter, the greatest which has befallen the
American navy since the Apia many years
ago. The secretary is inclined to believe
that most OF the officers Of the Maine were
on shore at the time of the accident. as it
was stll early in the night

Dickens are inclined to discuss the prob
able cause of the accident, several sugges-
tions were ventured upon. They believe
that it may have been caused by fire in
the bunkers, heating the bulkhead near a
magazine. or that an accident may have
occurred while inspecting high explosives
for torpedoes. OF course, this is mere spec
ulation. and the secretary is anxiously
tain Sigsbee.
Later the secretary sent another tele-
gram to Key West directing that the ten
der Mangrove also be sent to Havana
Commander Dickins, after carrying out
the instructions of Secretary Long with re-
gard to relief measures for the survivors
of the Maine, went at once to the White
House, where the President was aroused
and informed of the disaster. President
Mckinley received the news calmly and
expressed his deep sorrow, but said moth
ing further, except that he was thoroughly
satisfied with the measures adopted by the
Navy Department. Secretary Long retired
at a. m. and gave orders that all further
dispatches from Havana should be trans
mitted to Captain Dicklns.
1t is learned that Secretary Longs sec
ond dispatch from Key West which was
not given out, was merely from Captain
Forsythe confirmir ) the message of Capt.
Sigsbee.
