MAINE OFFICERS FURLOUGHED.
Belief That the Investigators WIN Re-
port the Explosion External.
Key West Fla. March 1.-THE ar
rival of the court of inquiry from Ha
vana on the Mangrove yesterday was
not unexpected, but the extreme mys-
terry which has surrounded the be-
havior of its members during the day
is in strong contrast with their former
conduct at Key West. The most
definite statement obtainable was from
a member of the court, who after stip-
ulating that his name should be sup
pressed said: Il do not know whether
we will hold a session, but l suppose
we will"
The only marine development which
followed the courts arrival was the
release of the leave orders of seven of
the Names officers, a matter which
has been lying here at the pleasure of
the court for more than a week. The
officers left for their homes last even
ing. They are: Lieutenant G. F. w.
Holman of New York, Lieutenant John
]. Blandin of Baltimore, First Lieu
tenant of Marines Albertue W. Catlin
of Chicago, Cadet Washington of
Goldsboro, N. c., Cadet Grenshaw of
Greenville, Ala, and Boatswain Larkin
of Philadelphia. The other officers will
remain here, although the only ap-
parent reason for their attendance is
that they may testify further.
One of them said to a correspondent:
"Those of us who are to be left behind
IL
minute condition of various parts of
the Maine previous to the explosion.
Personally / am fully convinced that
the court of inquiry has come to a
definite conclusion regarding the eX-
plosion."
All the Maine officers expect to get
away by Saturday. The general i'm
preston is that the evidence thus far
received was carefully gone over yes
terday and the points requiring addi-
tiOnal testimony were marked out. No
session of the court was held on shore,
but it is understood that a consuta-
ton took place among the officers of
the court, and that Rear Admiral ST.
cards wishes We're communicated 10
those who had not talked with the
fleet commander personally.
Among naval OllCefS ana OInerS III
is generally believed that the court of
inquiry has come to the definite con-
clusiOn that the explosion was eX-
ternal, and that the court Is now only
busted over minor technical details
The opinion is, however, only an opin-
ion, and OF no further Importance, for
with the exception of the members OF
the court, Rear Admiral Sicard and
Commander West, no one here has any
real cue to the final decision.
One of the officers of the Maine said
to this correspondent:
81 believe the Maine was blown VI
from the outside, but judging from the
questions asked by members Of the
court when previously here l am ut
terly unable to ascertain whether they
have even cOuntepanced such a solu'
tion of the disaster, l have talked will
fellow officers, and basing their opin.
ions on the character of the questions
asked they too We're bound to confess
that they We're just as much in the
dark -

dispatch TO the Philadelphia Times says
the delegates from this county TO the Demo
cratic state convention will vote for Robert
f. Pattison for Governor, and adds THE
Ex-Governor has always been regarded as an
excellent vote -getter, and his candidacy will
mean that the Congressional ard county
ticket will be immensely strengthened here.
The Democratic leaders believe that Schuyl-
kill county ought TO be put H. the Demo-
cratic column this year and that no one can
help them more in that direction than Mr..
Pattison himself as the candidate at the
head Of the Democratic state ticket"

scenery and stage their plays in fine style.
DARKEST RUSSIA"
Wednesday, March 23d Kaier's opera house,
will have for its attraction Darkest Russia -
play which for four seasons has met with
great success. 1t deals on Russia as it is to-
day and portrays the political work ngs of
the Cars Empire. The Russian character is
seen in every phase, from the noble to the
exile in the Siberian mines Mr.. II Grat-
tan Donnelly, the author, has written an
interesting story aud has followed new lines
in stage craft and all during the action the
audience is held in deep attention. The play
is beautifully mounted and the company is a
large and strong one. Nothing melodramatic
is introduced and the story is told by dialogue
bright and cheerful. The comedy element
enters largely into the tale and the spectator
is kept in a state of merriment by tho drol-
ery of Septimus Cobb, the American colonel
from kentucky, and the sparkling wit OF
the young German widow, the Baroness Ven
Rhineberg.
