| Sigsbee means that part OF the wreck of
| the Maine forward of the nlainmast that
suffered directly. The reference 10 the
Lee dispatch to Blanco touches the formal
notification TO the Spanish authorities
there of the coming OF the American
wrecking vessels to Havana. Under ordi-
nary circumstances there might be some
question to the right OF a foreign wreck
ing vessel TO operate in the harbor OF
Havana, presuming that the Spanish law
is identical with our own, but in the case
of a national vessel like the Maine the
rule would not apply. though the notice
is conveyed TO Captain General Blanco
as matter fo courtesy and to prevent
possible delays through the interference
of some uninstructed subordinates in the
custom service at Havana.
SIGSBEE'S DISPATCH.
Captain Sigsbee's last dispatch, sent
yesterday, was as follows:
"Will send two wounded from the hos
pital by the Bache tomorrow. These are
two recommended TO go TO Tortugas. Bar
nett Captain of the Bache) would report
to admiral"
The navy department has informed Ad-
miral Rowe at Key West of these facts
communicated by Captain Sigsbee- 1t
leaves entirely TO the admirars descre-
ton the assignment of the wounded arriv-
ing from Havana to Tortugas instead of
Key West.
Captain Lemley. the Judge advocate OF
the navy department, with Captain Brad
ford, chief of equipment bureau. and Com
modore Hichborn, chief constructor, were
in consultation for some time with Sec
rotary Long, reporting to him the plans
they had formed for the wrecking Of the
Maine. Captain Lemley suggested some
further changes in the details of the con-
tracts which are now being drawn with
the wrecking companies, and it is eX-
pected that within few hours after con-
gress shall have enacted and the president
shall have signed the necessary bill for
an appropriation for the work, the con-
tracts shall be signed.
PHOTOGRAPH OF THE MAINE.
The incoming mail at the navy depart
ment brought o most iteresting contribu-
ton to the news of the day in the shape
of an excellent photograph of the wreck
ed Maine as it now lies in Havana har-
Dor. This was forwarded to the secretary
Of the navy by Lieutenant Hood. lately
attached to the Maine. 1t is a view from
the port side and in general features re-
sembles the last newspaper cuts of the
wreck. Secretary Long took it to the
White House and gave II 10 the president.
who was much iterested in the details
as shown on the photograph.
The navy department has not yet de-
definitely which of our warships
shall replace the Maine in Havana har-
Dor. although OF has determined that as
a matter of policy another ship must be
sent there. The choice may be the Mont
now on her way from San Do
mingo to Key West and the Nashville
now at Galveston participating
IN the Mardi Gras festivities. 1t the lat
ter terminate some time this week, as is
expected. it Is said the Nashville will !
ne elected for the trip. as the Montgomery |
8 lust returning from cruise in the West |
indies. including two ports of Cuba and |
has been in patrol duty duty also.
sOBRAL NOT CENSURED.
The state department in view of the !
public denial by Captain Sobral Of the /
of interviews credited TO MIN /
n newspapers and the further fact that
1e had previously terminated his ohhcial
connection with the Spanish legation here,
las decided to ignore the matter.
In a recent letter from Washington, D.
il. to an old friend, Major G.. A Studer /
or twenty years United States consul at
singapore, says: while at Des Moines
