evening that Capt. Sigsbee has decided to
postpone the search for bodies in the
hull of the Maine until the arrival
of the official American divers, who are expect
ed here tomorrow on tho revenue cutter Bache.
Capt. Sigsbee has just made this announce
ment:
II retain all my rights to examine by means
of divers of my own selection. both the inside
and outside of the Maine. II, after I have fin
ished and recovered all the bodies and
objects. I expect to recover. and after I have
made all the Investigation I need 10 make. the
Spanish Government wishes also to investigate.
then it can do SO. provided the Washington
Government gives 1t permission"
Seventy-hve bodies have boon recovered in
the past twenty-four hours. Tho total up to
this time is 135.
To-day the bodies have been identified of
jerks. Flynn. O'Phtllips, Mudd, Jones. Lees,

ried to the cemetery in wagons and without
other religious ceremonies than the prayers of
the chaplain.
Many bodies have been recovered outside the
bay half eaten by sharks.
There have been placed In several parts Of the
bay large pieces Of meat to distract the sharks

greatly, because tho Americans are their pro-
.tectors.

Inquiry reports. Some Of these aeon 1t the
idea that any accident 10 the magazine could
have occurred on q vessel 20 well of1cered 80
the Maine, and maintain that the e8orts to
have 1t appear that the cause was accidental
may be interpreted into serious reflections on
Capt sigsbeo andhis subordinates. Capt. Sigs-
beo autographed the Navy Department last
night that he would put divers at work on the
submerged wreck, to-day and tho department
thinks no viii sond the result Of their investt-
CATION without waiting TO place Il In evidence
before Capt. Sampson's board. Later on. when
an examination Is made to determine whether
the hull can be raised, electric lights will be
used to aid the divers. Naval officers are hope
ful that great assistance in ascertaining the
cause Of the catastrophe will DO afforded tho
divers by that means.
In the Hobbies and cloak rooms Of the House
to-day members discussed the theories as to the
cause OF the disaster. Advocates Of the torpedo
theory found proof Of their contention that the
explosion was from without the ship In the facts
hat q piece Of cement was thrown upon tho
deck OF the City Of Washington, O Ward line
steamer lying some distance OF. and that an Of
hcer OF the Maine had boon struck BIZ O
flying piece of the same material. They
pointed out that II the explosion had been
from within none Of the cement, which
forms the filling between tho outer and
inner bulls, would have been lifted into the air,
This argument had great weight until Mr.. Hill.
born OF the Committee on Naval Affairs, and
something Of an old salt, explained that cement
was used as Alling between the upper and lower
surfaces of the deck. and therefore the pieces
might have come from there. However, MI.
Hilborn did not give unquestioned adherence to
the accidental theory.
II the horrible explosion" he said. els but
an accident In the ordinary experience to which
every battleship Is subject; IL Il is one Of those
things which have to DO considered as likely to
happen, I think It would be well for us to stop
and ask ourselves whether or not that IL what
we build battleships for. II We cannot say to
our sailors and marines there ia almost certain
in these battleships. possibly we had
better not build them"
