To say that the United States was startled
on Wednesday by short dispatch from Ha-
vana stating that the Battle Ship Maine had
blown up in that harbor on Tuesday night is
putting it very mildly. Details are yet want
ing, but the fact is corroborated and the most
horrible stories are given. All sorts ofrumors
are published, but how the affair occurred is
not known. Some think bomb may have
been placed in the coal, or the vessel may
have been struck by a torpedo. An investi-
CATION by diver is to be made when it will
be known how the accident occurred.
The loss of life is very great, two officers
and 253 men are missing, and no bodies can
be found, the supposition being that they
were either carried out to sea or were de-
voured by the sharks. The effect of the ex-
plosion was terrific, many of the inhabitants
thought that an earthquake had taken place,
as the noise was so terrible and the damage
SO great.

plosion taken place with the vessel in deeper
water, that first wild lurch of hers would have
sent her settling sideways to the bottom. As
it was, the vessel sank within three minutes;
partly Fighting, she touched bottom"
