SENIOR DU Bose DENIES
THAT HARBOR HAS MINES.

lished Reports TO he Alb
ROlufeIy False.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Elm view OF the
widely published report that the harbor of
Havana contains system of submarine
mines. 4 statement around which has GEN.
tered the chief public interest in connec-
ton with the disaster 10 the battleship
Maine, Senior Du Bose. Spanish charge
d'affaires at Washington. tonight made to
the Associated Press the following state
ment. which comes from such q source as
may be considered an official denial:
L wish to state. on my own official
knowledge. that no mine exists inside or
outside of Havana harbor; nor Is there any
submarine defense of any kind.
The report IS so absolutely false and
ridiculous that il could only have origi-
mated in the minds OF those persons anx-
ious 10 incite the evil passions OF both ma
tons for their miserable ends.
II consider the very suggestion OF such
a thing an insult 10 Spain"

DOES NOT BELIEVE
REPORT OF BAD FAITH.
Senior Du Bose Has Little Credence
In Unofficial Advices From
Havana.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-At the Span
ish legation q dispatch was received from
Gen. Blanco referring 10 commercial ques-
tons and mentioning incidentally that no
change of any kind has occurred in affairs
in Havana Gen. Blanco's latter state
ment is believed at the legation 10 refer TO
the lack OF definite and trustworthy news
pending the private inquiries now being
prosecuted by the American authorities.
III view OF this attitude of those whose
official position gives them the best oppor-
tunity for full information, Senior sDu
Bose and his associates do not credit the
reports OF discoveries tending to establish
the cause OF the Maine disaster.
The commercial negotiations have been
somewhat lost sight of during recent ex-
citing events, but the authorities az Ha-
vana report that these may be expedited
a an early day. The Cuban commission
er. who has been named to treat on the
matter. will probably come 10 Washing
ton before long, although some days will
necessarily elapse. owing TO the many
pressing questions which have come up of
late.

adopted . ccmha.ve policy - the best
means Of securing the allegiance OF the
people OF Spain 10 the reign3ng house.
They may reason in this way: Cuba is
practically lost to Spain. and vet lis sepa-
ration or surrender would unsluestion ably
cause revolution and the loss Of the
throne. Sek-preservation is the first law
with Alfonso and the queen regent, as with
all. and under these circumstances is il
not likely that the reigning house may
have coaspired 10 bring about the De LONE
incident; may have had hand in the blow
ing up OF the Maine. hoping that II war
was declared the people OF Spain would
rally to the support Of the government:
that in this way the outbursts OF Spanish
patriotism would secure a throne 20 Al
tonso which he has seemed likely TO lose?
This Is a bold move 10 make and q
strong card 20 play. but possibly the Span
ish government may have had the nerve
TO play IT."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The friends Of
the victims of the Maine disaster have
discovered that they cannot have their
bodies brought to this country in cases
where they have already been inferred.
This is due 10 the fact that the Spanish
laws forbid the exhunation of corpses I'M
III the expiration Of the period Of five years
after burial.
The prohibition had It's origin In the fear
OF infection from contagious diseases.
Some applications have already been made
to have bodies brought to the United
States by private individuals. and they
have encountered this obstacle.

HAVANA. Feb. 25.-The United States
lighthouse tender Mangrove is still here.
and the naval court of inquiry continued its
usual sessions today. Its members hope
10 get away to Key West late this evening
or early tomorrow. II is probable that the
testimony OF civilian witnesses will not add
to the courts knowledge OF the circum-
stances attending the explosion. The
wounded are reported as doing Well today.
The wrecking tug Right Arm is engaged in
removing such parts OF the wreck as is
possible in advance OF the arrival of
stronger tugs and derricks from the north.
1t is believed that the divers from the fleet
and the Right Arm will remain at work
when the Mangrove leaves. The Fern will
be the only United States vessel in the
harbor after the Mangrove goes.
At the afternoon session Of the court OF
inquiry the examination of divers was
continued. A civilian. whose testimony is
said TO be OF some importance. was also
examined. The name of the witness and
all the particulars of the evidence are
withheld. Late today the paymaster5
safe. with So 800 and his papers, was taken
from the wreck. Beyond this, no state
ment is made as to the value and nature
OF the contents \ large quantity Of wa
ter ran out when the safe was raised above
the surface. The complaint is still made
that the electric lamps are OF little use to
the divers. as the light is faint and un-
certain. and to hold them takes one OF the
divers hands. They have assuredly proved
OF little value in the present investigation.
So far as reports made public go. the work
men on the tug Right Arm. with the as
sistance of the naval divers. are laboring
hard 10 recover the bodies under the hatch
which led TO the fire room platforms. It
IS hoped the bodies will be taken out to-
morrow.
The Havana papers print long extracts
from the American dailies. but of course
only delayed news. All the Americans are
anxlously awaiting the arrival OF tomor-
rows mail. Consul General Lee says he
has received no news of importance from
the state department.

 One reason for the success of the sea- son from the hotel keepers standpoint is that many people can afford to spend a longer time away from home because tbe dressing is less elaborate than usu- al. Women who would not have thought of going away for the summer without a handsome wardrobe feel that patriot ism will afford them an excuse for com- parative simplicity. In fact, fine dress ing at the seashore is considered very bad taste this season.
 Seashore amusements have taken on the new war tone. Patriotic young la dies get up fairs and musicales in the hotels, and where once the summer young man lightly tripped the hours away to the music of Strauss the elder ly exempt relics who had thought to bask in the smiles of the fair summer damses are mercilessly heeced of their cash by them.

 One very much appreciated seashore amusement is the crab race. These in- teresting crustaceans, as is well known, affect species of locomotion strikingly similar to that favored by Admiral Ger vera.
