position, and with the convenienees at
hand, were free to conspire for the pur-
pose. 1t was necessary to trust the Span
ish authorities in great degree for protec-
ton from without l believe that the pri-
mary cause of the destruction of the
Maine was an explosion under the bottom
OF the ship as reported by the court of
inquiry. How II was produced, or wheth-
er 1t was produced by anybody intention
ally, do not know; therefore l have
carefully avoided accusation
After the destruction of the Maine. and
while the Vizcaya and Oquendo were in
the harbor we could observe no drills
taking place on board those vessels, al
though it is possible that they might have
gone on without our being able TO observe
them. There was much ship-visiting on
board. In everything they did. except In
respect to etiquette, the practiced nautical
eye could not fail to note their inferiority
in one degree or another to the vessels of
our own squadron at Key West. Our YES
sells were then having general quarters
for action three times a week, and were
keeping up their other drills, including
night drills, search-light practice, etc
The vessels of the Vizcaya class. below in
the captains cabin and officers quarters,
were one long stretch of beautiful wood
work finer than on board our own ves-
sells. The smaller guns OF their primary
batteries, and the rapid-firing guns of
their secondary batteries, were disposed
between the turrets on two decks in such
dove-tailed fashion that in order to do
great damage an enemy needed only to
hit anywhere in the region of the tunnels.
, / remarked several times-once to Ad-
miral Sampson, who was then Capt.
Sampson, of the court of inquiry on the
destruction of the Maine-that the Span
ish vessels would be all aflame within ten
minutes after they had gone into close
action, and that their quarters at the
guns would be slaughter pen. Future
events justified the statement. Afterward,
when j boarded the wreck of the Infanta
Maria Teresa near Santiago de Cuba, her
. armored deck was below water, but above
that there was not even splinter of
woodwork in sight; in fact, there was
hardly a cinder left of her decks or of
that beautiful array of bulkheads. 1t
may have been that the Maine remained
longer in Havana than had originally been
intended by the Navy Department 1t was
expected. / believe, to relieve her by an
other vessel; which vessel, L do not know.
1 had hoped that the Indiana or the Mass
achusetts would be sent to dispel the pre-
| vailing ignorance among the Spanish peo-
pie in regard to the strength and efficiency
of our ships. The department may not
have accepted my views"

GALLAuDET BEATS ST. JOHNS.
First Game of the Maryland Inter
coIIeyintc Series.

Gallaudet College defeated St John 5
College in the first game of the season
for the intercollegiate championship of
the State of Maryland. yesterday after
noon by a score of to ). The game was
the strongest played in the District for
number of years. The teams were evenly
matched and every inch of the ground
gained by either team was well earned.
St Johns had the lighter team, but was
much the faster. and at one time in the
first half of play it looked as though
they would score. They rushed the ball
down the field to Gallaudet's two-yard
line. when. by a tumble, Gallaudet got
the ball and kicked it out of danger.
In the second half Douglas and Brady
worked the ball down the field, and finally
Douglas went through tackle for a touch
down. but failed to kick goal. The Gal
laudet boys took the ball. and after steady
gains through the right of the St John
line made touchdown They kicked
goal and the score stood to in their
favor.
St Johns went to pieces. and had they
been playing a longer game Gallaude'
would have run up big score.
Douglas. Brady and McKall played a
snappy game for St. Johns. Andree. l..

A REPORTER, NOT A CRITIC.
Richard Harding Davis Defines the
STATUS of His Stories.


Richard Harding Davis is at the Arling-
ton. He came over from New York yes
terday afternoon. as he said to a reporter
for The Times last night. "just to make
a social visit .s,-.....-
Some persons he said, had misconstrued
his stories szon the war Sosfar as he knew
he had not written criticisms on the con-
duct of the war. He had not posed as a
critic. He was not a critic, and certainly
not a military critic. He was reporter
and had simply, reported facts as he found
them.
When he saw bad food he reported it
when he saw men starving he wrote about
it; when he saw sick men improperly
cared for. or not cared for at all, he told
of 1t in type.
His statements had no doubt given Of
fense to some men. If he were summoned
TO appear before the Aiger Relief Com
mission, he would gladly testify as to
what he had seep. He does not, however.
expect to be called as witness.
Mr.. Davis expects to remain several
days in Washington.

ALL PROBABLY LOST
Bark Helen NJ. Almy, Bound for
Alaskan Ports, Is Wrecked.
DISASTER OCCURS OFF GOLDEN GATE.
She Carried ~ Passengers ana q
Grew of 18-None of These Have
Been Found and All Have
Probably Perished.

San Francisco, March 23.-Upon the
arrival of the Pacific Coast Steamship
company's steamer Santa Rosa, from
San Diego Tuesday, the news was re-
ceived of another horrible accident, In
directly attributed to the Alaskan gold
excitement, which is believed to have
cost the lives of 40 passengers and sail
ors. Capt. Alexander, of the Santa
Rosa, reported that early Tuesday
morning, while nine miles off Point
Bonita, at the mouth of the Golden
Gate, he sighted derelict, bottom up.
The tug Sea Witch was Immediately dis
patched to the point indicated, and
found the derelict to be the bark Helen
w. Amy, Capt. Hogan, which sailed
hence for Copper river points with 81
passengers and crew of 10 OH Sunday
last. The bark lay upon her starboard
side with her stern low down in the
water, her deck hamper badly wrecked
and several planks of her hull washed
loose by the seas which broke over her.
While there were no signs of boats
among the wreckage, it is not believed
that her passengers and crew escaped
by putting off from the vessel in them,
as there has been very heavy seas for
several days past. Furthermore no
word has been received from the sur
vivors, if any exist, although the dere-
lict was sighted within ten miles of the
shore, and fully 10 hours have passed
since the wreck occurred.
