water but he was rescued unhurt Some
time elapsed before he could be convinced
that the whole affair was not dream.

who has been living here, has been indie
fatigable in caring for the wounded, and
his daughter and niece have written a
number of letters for the wounded men.

the seamen in need of it. The commander
is constantly in personal charge of every
thing being done for the relief of the

The story that torpedo may have been
concealed In the coal furnished to the
Maine is secuted here
In this connection, it Is advisable to dis
count the stories in circulation at Havana
and here regarding the Maine having been
blown up by torpedo placed under the
ship. The Maine reached Havana unan-
nounced, and, therefore, it would have
been difficult, if not impossible to have
placed a torpedo at the spot where she
was moored.
lieutenant of the Maine. whose name
is withheld at his request, was questioned
to-day regarding the dispatch from Ha-
Vana saying that diver had discovered
hole apparently made by a torpedo in
the hull of the Maine. He said: why
not make the hole 800 or 5000 feet? One
story Is as likely as the other"
In short, the cause of the explosion is
completely shrouded in mystery, and the
demolition of the battleship is so complete
that 1t is probable that the secret of the
disaster will never be known.
The American and Cuban ladies' here are
busy preparing delicacies for the wound

Every one, from the bootbacks TO ,he
