CAUSE OF the MAINE DISASTER
Floating Submarine Nine Exploded
Under Port Side Of Ship.
IT WAS LAID PURFO0ELY NEAR buoy
WHERE SHIP ANCHORED.

A dispatch from Havana, March
End, says: Without adding unnec-
sssarily to the flood of surmises,
conjecture and prophecies concern
ing the finding of the court Of in.
quiry, it is fair TO state that as q
matter Of fact, most of the naval
officers here and at Key West in.
cline to the opinion that the court
will find that the disaster to the
Maine was caused by floating sub
marine mine under the port side Of
the ship forward. Opinions differ
az to whether shs mine was made
of high explosives, such as wet and
dry gun-cotton, or ordinary gun
powder.
Opinions agree, not only as to
the existence Of mines in the harbor,
bot also that this one was laid pur..
posely near the buoy where foreign
vessels we're directed to moor, and
was fred from an electric battery
on shore.
NO OFFICIAL REPORT YET.
A dispatch from Washington,
March End, says Secretary of War
Alger in an interview to-day said
I'm the absence of official facts, the
public is equally as we'll informed
as the Government, and no member
of INSTRUMENTATION can, of course,
make official declaration touching
SPANS responsibility, moral or
otherwise.
"There is not an iota of informa-
ton as to the cause or origin of the
explosion upon which the Govern
ment can at this time form conclu.
sion or base decision. The verdict
of the court of inquiry on that point
must patiently be awaited"
Beyond this Mr.. Alger would not
be quoted, but he authorized the
statement to be given to the press
that no official information was be-
ing withheld from the public; that
the Administration was adhering |
strictly to the policy adopted by |
Secretary Long, with the approval
of the President, at the start to give
the fullest possible publicity to all
facts coming officially to the de-
bearing on the loss of the
Maine and the $50 brave sesmen.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
All Industries Have Felt the Uplifting In-
huenCe OF the Prospects OF an Early
Termination of tho War.

New YORK, June 1l.-R G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says to.
day:
The certainty that the Spanish Atlantic fleet
Is imprisoned and powerless to do harm has
helped to make the tone of markets more con-
fdent Every step of progress during the week,
which has looked toward an early termination
of the struggle, has been reflected in the mar
ket and in lower rates for money All indus
tries have felt the uplifting influence. IN
finances the growing anxiety to lend on even
long exchange at low rates in place of ship
ments of gold to this country begins to accu-
mulate standing credit in favor Of the United
States. Astronger situation it would be DIM
cult to describe.
Iron and steel production has declined, be-
cause several establishments have stopped for
repairs. The wooden manufacturers are buy
ing no wool and the sales ut the three chief
markets during the past week were only 2.549,-
800 pounds, against 4,s7S $50 in 1892, But the
demand for goods proves somewhat better in
many directions than was expected and the
government requirements have compelled some
manufacturers to buy somewhat largely grades
Of wool which they had not expected to re-
quire. In cotton goods there is n stronger tone
throughout, with print cloths sustained ut the
recent advance, but the coming crop is watched
with anxiety
Failures for the week have been 203 in he
United States, against 252 last year.

policy of the United States, which
looks to the acquisition of additional
territory, represented in outlying is
lands that are requisite for the devcl-
opment of national strength and
growth" His sentiments were hearth
ly applauded.
