SPANISH WARSHIP ARRIVES
ARArORED CRUISER VIzCAYA IN
 NEW YORK WATERS.

News of the Blowing Up of the Maine
 Causes n Sensation on Board-six Patrol
 Tugs Will be Used in Guarding Her-At
 Night the Ship Will be Brilliantly H.
 luminated With Electric Lights.
 New York, Feb. 1S.--The Spanish ar- mored cruiser Vizcaya is in New York waters. She dropped her anchors five miles south of Sandy Hook lightship at 53O p. m. after thirteen-day voy- age from the Canary Islands. When her officers and men learned the start ling news of the disaster to the Ameri can battleship Maine in Havana har bor, and of the downfall of Minister De Lome, they broke into a wild uproar of talk. For a couple of minutes all discipline on the great warship seem- ed to vanish. Men rushed below to tell their comrades in the lower decks Above all the uproar In Spanish rang out the stentorian voice of an Ameri- can sailor: Great God, boys, is that true?"
 Sandy Hook Pilot Dan Gillespie was the only American aboard the ship. He had been cruising to the southward for a week or more in the pilot boat Am prose Snow and was ignorant of the startling developments of the last few days. Early tomorrow morning the Vizcaya will come up to the anchorage selected for her in the upper bay. In passing up she will be saluted and will return the formality. Then she will steam to point off Tompkinsville, where she will anchor. A fleet of gov ernment and police patrol boats will es-
 cort her to her anchorage.
 Six patrol tugs under command of
 Lieutenant John A. Dougherty, U. s. N. will guard the Vizcaya during her
 stay in New York harbor. The watches
 will be divided between the six boats, two to be on duty on each turn. Each
 boat is to have on board, while on
 watch, four marines and one non-com-
 missioned officer of marines, a rounds
 man and four policemen from the met
 ropolitan police. No persons will be allowed to approach without the sane | tion of the commanding officer of that
 vessel. At night the Vizcaya will be | brilliantly illuminated with electric lights.
 Lieutenant J. G. Sobral, naval at- tache of the Spanish legation at Wash ington, was in this city yesterday &C., | lively cooperating with the authorities in preparations for insuring the safety of the Spanish battlesnip Viscaya dur | ing her stay in this port. Lieutenant | Sobral was asked for his opinion as to | the cause of the explosion on the l Maine. His reply was: T know the cause of the explosion, but I cannot di- vulge it." He was pressed for further | information and he finally replied: Tt | was the result of an explosion inside | the ship which took place in one of the | forward magazines. The fact is that l the discipline and the watch observed on the ship were very lax. This is the l case on American warships generally. | This sort of thing has occurred on sev- | eral occasions on American war ves- | sels." Lieutenant Sobral said he die not think there would be war between | the United States and Spain.
