gangs struggled together till morning,
the Southern getting most OF the
switches back aS they had more men.

wrestling over the track, throwing each
other off the switch and seizing crow
bars. A general fight was imminent.
MIR. Iufham. Mayor, with thirty ARMED
deputies went to the scene and announc-
cll that the law would be enforced AT
any cost. The cOntending gangs fell

New York. Feb. 16.-Senor de LONE
heard the news OF the disaster to the
Maine at the Hotel st. Marco this morn
ing At first he refused TO credit it, but
when the truth dawned upon him, he
said:
"It is terrible pray God the news
has been exaggerated. You may be sure
of one thing, however, no Spaniard did
this.
Like myself, all Spaniards of import
ance entertain friendly feelings toward
this country. There will be no war;
there can he no war between America
ard Spain.
Il am forced to say now by this terri
bic affair what l should have been pre-
cluded from saying before. There is no
country in the world that / love as l do
America. / love the country and the
people. and it is with the keenest regret
that take my leave as the result OF this
unfortunate letter incident. Nearly all
prominent Spaniards and men of IN
.iuence in my country share my views
in regard to America"

New York, Feb. 16.-SenOr Dupuy dc
LONE. former Spanish Minister to
Washington. sailed on the steamship
Brittannic for Liverpool today. Compli-
mentary resolutions were presented to

tiou of any kind.

only wanted to provide the ships, but
he believed in sending them where they
were needed for the protection of our
people and occasionally to places where
their presence was demanded in the in

On motion of Mr.. Pettus, the apprO-

$4,000 to $4,000.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Chan

as the regulations of the Navy demand
shall be made in the ease of the loss
OF a ship. 1t is expected that this work
viii take some time, and while there
are officers who say that in their opin-
ion it will not be possible, owing to the
probable disrupted condition of the hull
OF the ship to make out the cause of the
explosion, the opinion of the majority
is that the question will be easily set
tied by the simple observation of the
condition of the ships hull plates i'll the
neighborhood Of the hole which sunk
her. whether or not they are bulged out,
came from inside, or whether they were
driven in, as would result from the at
tack of torpedo or the explosion of a
mine beneath the ship. The large ma
iority of naval officers are inclined to
the belief that the explosion resulted
from spontaneous combustion of a coal
titions between the boilers and the ma
gazine or from the explosion Of a boiler,
though the last theory finds little sup
port. The lists of survivors that came
to the Navy Department this afternoon
in answer to telegrams. was inaccurate
| and made out the loss of life eight more
| than the summary originally given by
| Captain Sigsbee in an earlier telegram
F, so Secretary Long telegraphed fOl
another corrected list, and also one that
should show who were and who were

! found necessary to do this owing to the
great number of pitiful appeals for i'll
formation as to the safety of some UNI
fortunate on the Maine that came from
all paris of the country.

The Naval constructors, in the ligh
of the dispatches thus far received, sa!
that it is by no means certain that tht

Washington, ID. c., Feb. TO-. After a
day of intense excitement at the Navy
Department and elsewhere growing out
of the destruction of the battieshlp
Maine in Havana harbor last night, the
situation tonight after the exchange of
a number of cablegrams between Wash
ington and Havana can be summed up
in the words of Secretary Long, who,
when asked, as he was about TO depart
for the day whether he had reason
to suspect that the disaster was the
work of an enemy, replied:
II do not. In that | am Influenced
by the fact that Captain Sigsbee has not
yet reported to the Navy Department
on the cause. He is evidently waiting
to write full report. So long as he
does not express himself l certainly can
rot. ! should think from the indica-
tions, however, that there was an acci-
dent-that the magazine exploded. How
that came about do not know. For
the present at least no other war ship
will be sent to Havana"
The appalling nature of the disaster
and the gravity of the situation that
would arise should investigation give a
basis for the undercurrent of suspicion
of treachery and foul play than ran
through all minds had SOLDERING effect
on nublic men of all shades of politi
cal opinion. The fact stands forth
and is little less than remarkable thai
not a single resolution was introduced
or a single speech made i'll either holSs'
of Congress bearing on the disaste
save one of coincidence with the famllle
Of those killed, offered by Mr. Boutelle
and adopted by the House OF hepre
sentatives Public men expressed thei
opinion with reserve when approached
for interviews, but everywhere there wa
a demand for an investigation and full
details in the light of which the horro
may be justly viewed. Secretary Ions
undoubtedly summarized the genera
opinion of the majority of the Nava
experts in finding it impossible just nov
to state the cause of destruction of tn,
Maine.
