AN OFFICER OF THE MAINE
Argues That tho Vessel Was Blown
Up by Design.

Up by Design.
Key West. Fla. March 1.-The wit :
ncssas before the court of inquiry into
the Maine disaster yesterday were
Lieutenants Blandn, Hood, Jungen,
Blow and HOman, Lieutenant of Ma
Iines Calm. Cadets Bronson and
Boyd, Boatswain Larkin. Gunner Hill
and Carpenter Holmes. Few know more
than was known before the court
opened An officer of the Maine. how
svor, who had been examined by the
court during the day, talked at length
with a correspondent.
Il can't tell you," he said what
line Of questioning was adopted, but
the court will find, believe, that the
Main, was blown up by design, though
l don't think it will be able to ascer-
tain exactly how. The courts finding
will be based on negative rather than
positive evidence.
'By this | mean that all the testi-
nlony heard so far has, bit by bit,
upset the theories of these who think
the explosion was of internal origin.
This nesitive evidence Is so strong and
SO general that | see no possibility Of
was internal. The only alternative left
for the court is to fall back on evil
dence which points to the intentional
blowing vi of the Maine. This, |
think, VIII be done, unless the court
formulates a theory of its own or de-
clsrcs that It does not know how the
disaster occurred, both of which con.
lectures ! think improbable"
As heariE% on the value Of the opin-
Ion OF the officer in question, it must
be borne In mind that he was before
the court for about is minutes only,
and that he has at all times expressed
himself as confident that the explosion
was not due to an accident.
Members of the court when the
substance Of the interview was brought
to their attention. declined to have
anything to say. All the high naval
and military officials here, when asked
crucial questions politely profess ig-
nOrance.

Hollidaysburg, Pa, March 1.-The
Blair county court awarded a writ of
preliminary injunction yesterday re-
straining the county commissioners
and district attorney from collecting
the taxes levied on the employees of
foreign born laborers Under the act Of
1897. The injunction was issued on the
petition of the Juniata Limestone COM
pany. 1t is alleged that the alien tax
act is contrary to both the 14th amend
ment of the national constitution and
article 8 of the state constitution.

To think in foreign waters,
The gallant Main, should stand
Sunk u the bottom,
by flendish hand.
But we know one thing surely,
The boat can b. replaced again,
There is one that can't be replaced.
And that's the lives of the gallant IS. s...
Maybe it had been better,
Had she sunk beneath the wave,
1t would have given the men chance
10 escape from watery grave. -
How did they know poor fellows,
That doom was SO near?
All OF sudden came runbllng,
Loud and clear.
The fair flag is lowly waving,
Through all the States to-day,
And all the people are thinking.
or those graves so far away.
We have read of Historical battles,
Where men once laid down their lives:
And many a gallant hero has went, r.
10 a land beyond the skies.
The Maine disaster is very bad to-day;
But we hear people say that the explo-
sion,
OF the Sultana was even worse than
The Maine this day.
The Sultana was near Memphis
When so many lives were lost;
This was by boiler,
Not by II treacherous cause

WERE TOO WEAK
Coffee and Bread as a Breakfast
for Soldiers.
TAKE TO THE SICK REPORT
Nearly an Entire Company Appeals
to a Surgeon-One Drill a
Day-Deserter.
TAKE TO THE SICK REPORT

Monday morning the Denver Com
pany of Engineers at Camp Mckinley
was served bread and coffee for
breakfast. Most of the company being
business men they did not rebel nor
| fight the cook. Dissatisfaction was
great, however, and the seriousness of
the wrong was so patent that they
could not pass it by unnOticed. AL
most the entire command appeared be-
fore the battalion surgeon and asked
to be placed on the sick report, for
the reason that the breakfast served
was not sufficient to sustain them for
duty.
The surgeon Investigated the matter,
taking look at the bread and coffee.
He agreed with the men and reported
all of them sick
At dinner time the full food allow
ance was served. Promptly after eat
ing something like a meal the men re-
ported back to the surgeon and asked
to be taken off the sick list for the
reason that they had had a square
meal and were consequently able to do
duty. This, also, was granted. In the
meantime, however, the facts had
reached official ears and since then the
Denver men have Jared better.
The afternoon drill at Camp McKin-
ley is now omitted. Only the fore
noon drill is held. The men express
great satisfaction with this change.
Afternoons at Camp Mckinley are
given over to baseball by the men not
on duty. Three or four teams have
been organized and will play a series
of twelve games. The best men will
then be picked to play against one of
the town teams. There are some rat
ting good football players; also, at
the Camp. Most of them are college
men. They are expecting to enter the
town series of games, which will open
in October.
Officials at Camp Otis are anxious
to come up with private of the Colo
RADIO recruits whom they have not
heard of in two weeks. The man de-
serted from the Minnesota regiment
here about three months ago, did work
at the military hospital and was then
assigned to the Colorado recruit con-
cingent. One night about two weeks |
ago he came in town, not to return |
to camp again. 1t is supposed that he |
borrowed citizens clothes and skipped |
out to the Coast.
