The Vixcnya Sails.
New York, Feb. 26.-The Spanish
cruiser Nizcaya, after spending a week
in this port on a friendly visit to the
United States, got up anchor at 1:40
o'clock Friday afternoon and started to
sea. Her destination is Havana. There
were no ceremonies or incidents of any
kind connected with the vessels depar-
ture. The naval tug Nina and the police
boat Patrol accompanied the ship as far
as Fort Wadsworth, when they saluted
and went about. The loud and deep
steam whistle of the NiZcaya gave them
three long blasts-the marine farewell.
Forts Tompkins and Wadsworth soon
were left astern, and when the ship en-
tered the tortuous main channel-at
times at full speed, then at half speed,
again stopping-Pilot Lockman took
no chance. He keenly felt his response
bility. When the vessel left her an
chorage, her flags were at half mast
for the Maine and guard of the ma
rine infantry were drawn up in double
files aft. They were in full service uni
form. Once we'll outside the Hook,
more than marine league from the
shore, the flags were hoisted home. But
the guard stood steady. Officers in uni
form paced the deck.
The Wreck sinking.
! Havana, Feb. 26.-The wreck of the
Maine is slowly but surely sinking into

Late Friday the paymaster's safe, with
$22,5 500 and his papers, was taken from

statement that there is no credible evi

Miss Benham. It is seldom that a
person is endowed by nature with a
voice in which SO much power is COM
bined with such clearness of tone. It
was real pleasure to hear her once
more. Her voice has retained all of
it's natural strength, richness and
beauty, and her manner has not lost
the slightest particle of it's personal
charm for her audience. The winter
has done much to develop her as a
singer, for she showed much more
versatility of style and tone, much
more delicate feeling for shading, than
when last heard here, and a heightened
feeling for the musical side of the
works she interpreted was apparent.
She has plainly grown out of the large
lower circle of people who sing clever
ly and is entering the higher and
smaller circle of genuine musicians.
In view of her natural endowments
and the present direction of her stud
les and work it is no mark of inspira-
ton to foresee that she is bound to be-
come a great favorite as a singer on
any stage"
