GUARDING INFORMATION.
Severe Restrictions Imposed on All
Naval OffiCeS.

KEY WEST, FLA. March 1.-The fact
Is becoming more evident as the days
pass that any information direct from
members OF the United States Court OF
Inquiry into the loss OF the Maine and
from those appearing before II Is guard
ed with unusual closeness. Practically
no information presented 20 the court
has been disclosed.
The restrictions are so severe that the
communications between the naval mn
who have been before the court have been
most guarded. Naval officers at this
station who are connected with the court
express the guarded view that very little
testimony has yet been heard tending TO
show that the explosion was the result
OF a conspiracy or as 10 the exact caus,
OF the disaster.
Ten enlisted men were examined by
the board this forenoon as was also Com
mander Forsyth.
II is understood he gave testimony re-
garding the coating OF the battleship at
the navy yard here.
Captain Hanlon. Of the steamer Mas
cote. which arrived from Havana to-
night says that when the vessel left
Havana there was no sign OF impending
riot or OF an anu-American deminstra-
ton.
on the contrary everything was nor
mally quiet.
The Court OF Inquiry convened shortly
after o'clock and went out 20 the bar
racks. where all the survivors OF the
Maine were mustered
The men were asked n they had any
charges or further statements To make.
Not a word came from the ranks and.
after whispered consultation. the work
of the Court Of Inquiry at Key West
