NV DloW W
Havana. Feb ah2l.--Lieutenant Com
mander Barnett, of the survey boat
Bache. said to q press correspondent
yesterday: you want the facts. l can
tell you there are ninety-five chances
out Of a hundred that the investiga-
tion will show that the forward maga-

not the cause Of the consequences that
followed. rhe condition of the wreck
when first studied and later a careful
scrutiny make this an almost absolute
certainty"
Chaplain Chadwick, of the Maine, has
recovered considerable sums of money
with letters and other personal prop
erty from the bodies taken from the
wreck. In one case the initials can be
seen on the coat lining, and may serve
to identify the body of the wearer, but
the harbor water is so filthy that the
marks are nearly illegible. Chaplain
Chadwick Is one of the hardest worked
officers, and upon him devolves some
of the most repulsive duties of the sit

Some friction, it is reported, has oc-

the other United States consuls in the

nothing has been distributed outside of

particulars Of the Maine explosion left,

New Bedford, Mass, FEB. 21.-The
sixth week of the big strike opened to-

however, is that the operatives will be

weavers' union is getting short of funds.
The strike pay of the union weavers
has been cut down from So per week,

SALUTING THE yI2CAYA,
Governors Island Fires Welcome of

Governors Island Fires Welcome of
Twenty-one Guns.
New York, Feb 21.-The Spanish
cruiser Vizcaya came up the bay yes
terday afternoon, arriving in the Mar
rows at 8 p. M. flying the American
flag from the main truck and preceded
by the steam pilot boat New York. On
arrival at the Narrows a salute of 81
guns was fired. AS soon as the salute
was finished the American flag was
hauled down. Health officer Doty,
with the boat Governor Flower ran
alongside, asked the customary ques-
tions and received the bills Of health
and the assurance that all were well
and had been well since leaving Spain.
The Vizcaya's salute was not returned
from either Fort Wadsworth or Fort
Hamilton. Surgeon Jurado of the
Vizcaya, reported that the Vizcaya had
Is officers and 466 crew, making total
of 4Si on board
Two tugs loaded with newspaper re-
porters accompanied the vessel
through the Narrows. Hundreds Of
people lined the adjacent shores. The
soldiers at the forts could be seen sur
rounding the guns on the steep bluGs
at Fort Wadsworth. The Vizcaya an
chored off Tompkinsville, Staten Island,
AT p. m. Castle William, on Gov
ernor's Island, saluted the Spanish
cruiser Vizcaya with the customary q
guns. Neither Fort Wadsworth nor
Fort Hamilton fired a salute. They
have not done so in recent years.
AS soon as the VZcaya was anchored
several boats in the vicinity made to-
ward her, but they were quickly warm
ed Off by the naval vessels appointed
to guard the visitor, and backed away
to respectable distance. Subsequent
ly. however. by invitation of the Span
lsh commander, number of newspa-
per men visited the vessel.
In an interview with the press repre-
sentatives Captain Eulate said that
while his ship was in this port his Of
ticers would accept no invitations of
any kind. The Spanish warship had
come here en- visit of courtesy and
friendship, and when the dreadful ac-
cident to the Maine was learned the
flags were put at half mast, and there
they would remain until the ship took
her departure. He likened his visit to
that of one intimate friend to another,
When disaster had overtaken the latter,
the same deicacy dictated what to do,
to mourn with the friend and to avoid
all fcstivity. No invitations of social
character would be accepted.
