Il was in Armenia with Clara Bar

famine as | have witnessed in Cuba

Men. women and children are so emaciat-
ed from priyation that their ribs and

NOT TO DEPEND ON DIVERS.
Wainwright's Testimony Highly Import
ant is to Sub Marine Mines.

Havana. via Key West. March "a
naval officer here to-day, in reply to Il
suggestion that it was a pity such an
important decision as the verdict of the
Court of Inquiry into the Maine eX-
plosion should rest solely upon the testi-
mony of divers, who seemed men of only
average intelligence. replied:
1.-THE Court of Inquiry has not had
to depend upon divers testimony alone"
Then, realizing that he had said more
than he intended, the officer resumed
his habitual reserve. 1t is believed that
the testimony of Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright was highly important as
bearing on the question of the existence
of submarine mines.
The government has employed an ex-
pert photographer now in Havana. who
will send to the Navy Department in
Washington photographs of armor plates
and different portions of the wreck imme-
diately uon recovery from the water.
If the Spanish Court Of Inquiry, UNI
der Captain Pcral, has a definite plan of
action, which seems doubtful, it has not
been made public. The Spanish divers
will, of course, report the results of
their observations to the Spanish Court
OF Inquiry, but when or where has not
been made known.
Senator Proctor has seen much i'll a
short time and there is good authority
for saying that he will make the re-
suits of his observations known in Il
strong speech in the Senate on his return
to Washington. At Matanzas Miss Bar
ton and Senator Proctor. under the guild
ancc of United States Consul Brice and
Mr. Govas. the British Vice-Consul, saw
such suffering as they had never con
ceived possible. -Four persons died i'll
one ward while the party was there.
Senator Proctor was reticont on the
subject, but others of the party declared
that the whole east of the island was
under the control of General Maxine
Gomez.
Senator Proctor. however went SO far
as to SAY TO the correspondent of the
Associated Press:
Certainly. a peculiar state Of affairs

that if wished to correspond with Gen
eral Gomez he would send my letter to
him aud have an answer back i'll II snort
