Messages from the Prince and Prin-

LONDON, Feb. 17.--As the details Of the
loss of the Maine are published there are
renewed marks of sympathy here. They
are not only in the newspapers, hut are
to be heard on all sides. Many of the
diplomats, including the Spanish anabassa-
dor, have called at the United States en-
bassy and the first lord of the British
Admiralty. the Hon. George ]. Goschen, has
requested Mr.. White. the secretary of the
United States embassy, in the absence OF

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Theory of Many Naval Ohicers-The e
Mainesa Coal SunnIY.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-General fear is
expressed by old officers at the Navy De-
partment that the destruction of the Maine
had been so complete, at least in the for
ward portion of the ship, where the explo-
sion is believed to have occurred that it
would be perhaps impossible to find suffi-
cient evidence in the wreck in the hull to
declare with certainty the cause of the dis
aster. The reports coming from Havana
and printed this morning, descriptive of the
occurrence of the wreck yesterday,
strengthen these doubts Tl.e fallen smoke
stack, the disappearance of the big turret
guns, the overturning of the deck forward.
ali seem to indicate that an enormous de-
struction has occurred below. 1t may be
said. however, that nothing has yet devel-
oped in the news from Havana as to the ap-
pearance of the wreck or in the conflicting
stories of the survivors to change the opin-
ion of the majority of the officers stationed
in the Navy Department that the Maine
sunk as the result of an internal explosion.
AS to the origin of the explosion there is
still a wide difference of opinion, but the
coal bunker theory to-day finds very many
more strong supporters than any other
theory. This theory is based on the suppo-
sition that spontaneous combustion in one
of the bunkers which in the Maine are sep
arated from the magazine forward by
single thin partition of iron. ignited the
magazine and caused the destruction of the
vessel. Proofs of similar fires on other YES
sells of the navy are being produced in pro-
fusion at the Navy Department to-day. 1t
is said that on the battle ship Indiana no
less than seven fires have occurred in the
coal bunkers. The Philadelphia has had at
least one within the past year. while in the
case of the flagship of the North Atlantic
squadron. the New York, the department
was obliged to order the discontinuance of
the use of the magazine in the center of the
ship because of danger from this cause. and
because it was subject TO high degree of
heat by radiation from the furnaces.
In connection with the theory of spon-
taneous combustion the character of the
coal supplied 10 the Indiana assumed
some Importance. This is supplied at pres
ent TO the Bureau of Equipment and the
head Of that bureau. Captain Royal Brad

plosion took place and following it. we
heard groans and cries of Help, help u.s.
THE boats of the City of Washington
and those of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XII were hurriedly launched and went 10
the rescue. / went into one of the boats
of the City of Washington and the scenes
/ witnessed were heart-rending beyond de-
scription. Two of the small boats on board
the City of Washington were stove in by
debris from the Maine. The battle ship
sank even with the water in about three
minutes after the explosion. The City of
Washington was converted into veritable
hospital Many of the rescued men were
brought on board almost nude and the
passengers gave them clothing. etc. The.
officers of the City of washington did alf
in their power to make the rescued men

About half an hour after the explosion
Consul General Lee, the civil governor of
Havana and Captain General Blanco's
chief of staff came on board. General Lee
remained with US all night. The affair
caused the utmost excitement in Havana.
Seven bodies were picked up in the harbor
yesterday and were identified, though hor-
ribly mangled. The explosion occurred for
ward of the midship section of the Maine. -

Troops Are Landing,

Washington, June Pa cable mes
sage has been received at the navy de-
partment from the government cable
station at Guantanamo. The sable
gram says that our soldiers are land
ing under the protection of tnS guns
fthe fleet, but are being fired on by
Spanish troops.
Admiral Sampson says he now has
about 1000 Cubans, fully armed, en-
gagged in the bushwhacktng work
which has proved SO effective in pro-
tecting the marines and in preparing
the way for the American troops The
force OF Cubans is quite apart from the
regular force under Generals Rabbi
and Garcia, and Is detached body of
guerillas which Is cooperating with
our naval forces rather than with the
army.
The extent to which the Cubans have
been exposed to action Is shown by the
report reaching the navy department
that thirty wounded Cubans have been
placed on the Solace. This is believed
to be considerably more than the in
jured from the American marines. Sur
geon General Van Repen of the navy
has directed the chief surgeon of the
Solsce to receive Cuban wounded and
give them the same treatment and IA
cilities as are accorded to our own
men,

invasion of Cuba.
To General Greelv and his signal
corps belongs the honor of achieving
this last feat. He was intrusted some
weeks ago with the task of re-estab-
fishing cable and telegraphic commu-
nication with Cuba. Under his super
vision Lieutenant Colonel James Allen
Of General Miles's staff with officers and
men of the signal corps, have been
busily engaged in the execution of that
y,
whose cable runs from Santiago to Gu
antanamo bay, and thence to Cape
Haytien, where a lirect connection is
obtained with New York, was accord
ed the privilege of restoring this COM
munication with Guantanamo and San
tiago with permission to send CONNER
cial and domestic dispatches under a
strict military censorship necessitated
by war conditions.
The cable steamer Mancel was en-
ployed for the work, and. operating on
these lines, communication was restor-
ed between Cape Haytien and Guam
tanamo about three o'clock yesterday
afternoon. 1t Is expected that to-day
the cable will be thrown open to the
general public, subject to censorship.
The first message over this restored
cable was one from Lieutenant Colonel
Allen TO General Greedy announcing the
reopening of communication. General
Greedy Immediately directed the officer
to obtain and forward the earliest pos
sible advices as to the arrival of the
United States troop transports. Lieu
tenant Colonel Allen applied to Cap
tain McCalla, in command of the Uni
ted States naval forces IN Guantana-
mo bay. The captain in turn sent out
a boat to Rear Admiral Sampson's
squadron. which returned with news
that the transports had arrived lafely
and were lying off Santiago, szd that
at that moment of the report General
Shafter, commanding the military ex-
peditfon, was on board the flagship

miral Sampson respecting the landing

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
1ammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever 1;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

Fresh Air Children,

Concerning the s'fresh air children"
who are sent from the large cities
every summer for their annual outing
of two weeks to enjoy the invigora-
ting air of the country, the Neao York
Tribune says:
A question constantly asked by
friends of the Tribune Fresh Air work
is "Where do they get their children
from" The answer is that they are
obtained through I2o different charita-
BILE organizations which cover every
district of New York and the greater
part of Brooklyn and Jersey City. In
each one OF these organizations the
work of selecting the children is done
by missionaries who are in close touch
with the poor families in the region
and know the circumstances of every
child. The families are visited per-
sonally and thus the very poorest and
neediest children are selected. A
common but erroneous impression is
that the children sent to the country
are the "walfs" and 'rag-muffins" who
live IN the streets and have no homes.
1t is hardly necessary to say that this
class is not usually sent. Fresh air
children are the children of the very
poor, and that is the all important
requirement. Almost all of them have
homes, but generally of the poorest
and most miserable sort. 1t is this
class of children that is sent to the
country. In addition to the hard
work required in collecting suitable
children, the rule that every child
must pass a medical examination
makes the duties of the missionaries
peculiarly hard and exacting. Every
child must be clean and free from
vermin, and will not be accepted if it
lives in home where there is a conta-
gious disease. If any one of these
conditions is not fulfilled, the child is
rejected by the medical examiners"

arrival was the signal for unbounded
enthusiasm. AS soon as the pay rolls
ran be put in shape a work which is
now progressing rapidly, all four Of the

The Summer Girl.

The summer girl is going to be of
two kinds. One will be crisp and
cool and clean in starched muslins,
and the other will be soft and downy
like flock of little chickens. The
first will wear dimities, percales,
piques and organdies. The other
will affect the mulls, silk and cotton,
and dainty Persian lawns and the
weblike batistes. The first will have
little trimming beyond a neat and
tidy finish, with snug belt, while the
other will be nearly smothered in a
form of lace. One will wear skirts
plainly hemmed or at most tucked,
and the other will have lace ruffles
until no one could compute the num-
Der of yards of lace employed. For
the thin summer dresses the quantity
of ruffling almost passes belief.
The sleeves are shirred and puffed
and frilled until one is almost lost in
a maze. The waist is as fluffy and
puckery and as stifled in delicate lace
as the rest.
