SEVERE, BUT JUST.

with the pretenses on which he was
elected.

thousands of Democratic anti-ring votes on
his reform and non-partisan professions.
As Governor, however, he did not make
any one appointment or push to enactment
a single measure that was not either asked
for or approved by the coai-carrying aud
water-corneriDg monopolies He became
the hinge joint in a combine of Sewell and
Hobart which closed 10 on the people OF

charges the Governor with a personal

Naval officials VIII Express No Harsh
Views Pending Investigation.
Washington, Feb. 17.--After a day of
intense excitement at the navy depart
ment and elsewhere growing out of the
destruction of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor Tuesday night, the sit
uation after the exchange of a num-
Der of cablegrams between Washing
ton 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 sus-
pect that the disaster was the work of
an enemy, replied: Il do not, in that
am Influenced by the fact that Cap
tain Sigsbee has not yet reported to the
navy department on the cause. He
is evidently waiting to write full re-
port. So long as he does not express

think from the indications, however.
that there was an accident-that the
magazine exploded. How that came
about l do not know. For the present,
at least, no other warship will be sent
to Havana
There are great number of theories,
but most of them are of a character
them by a simple investigation of
diver. Secretary Long has taken inn
mediate steps to make this investiga-
ton. The opinion of the majority is that
the question will be easily settled by the
simple observations of the condition of
the ships hull plates in the neighbor-
hood of the hole which sunk her,
whether or not they are bulged out, as
would be the case if the explosion came
from the inside, or whether they were
driven in. as would result from the
attack of a torpedo or the explosion of
a mine beneath the ship.
The large majority of naval officers
are inclined to the belief that the ex-
plosion resulted from spontaneous COM
bustion of coal bunker, the over
heating of the iron apartments between
the boilers and magazine, or from the
explosion Of boiler, though the last
theory finds little support.
1t is said at the navy department
that this disaster is the greatest of the
kind in naval history since the sinking
of the big British warship Victoria by
collision with the Camperdown in the
Mediterranean. OFF Malta, June, 1893 BY
