SEVENTEEN ARE DEAD.
An Epidemic Sweeping Over the City
of Skagway.

steamer Oregon arrived here this alter
noon from Skagway and Dyea. She

FOUND BY DIVERS.
Evidence That the First Explosion Was
Beneath the Ship.

Beneatn tne snip.
Washington, Feb. 26.-The Evening
Star has received the following cable
gram from Charles Pepper, its staff cor
respondent in Cuba:
AT this writing divers are developing
important results. From the examina-
ton of the inner wreckage they have
secured evidence which seems cOnclu-
sive that the explosion came from I'M
derneath the ship. Some of the smaller
magazines may have exploded. The
main, 0-inch magazine did not explode.
The condition of the interior of the ship
shows further probability OF The wreck
having been due to outside forces. The
further the investigation progresses,
the more untenable becomes the theory
which the Spanish government adduced
to show accidental cause. 1t is evident
the Spanish case will be based on the
claim that the fire preceded the explo-
sion.
Captain Sampson and his colleagues
of the naval board say that outside
evidence is offered regarding the tor.
pedo float producing the explosion.
Said one diver, who had been engaged
in the work Of getting bodies out from
under the hatch:
God may he merciful to the men
who blew those poor fellows into eter-
nifty, the United States should not.
This was before Longs order pro-
hibting officers from talking had been
issued. This diver evidently thought
the explosion was not an accident. He
had an experts capacity and oppor-
tunitv for judging.
The Havana public is not permitted
to know the intensity of public senti-
ment in the United States. Only
meager details are permitted to be
known of what happens in Washington.
Congress is watched with eXces sive
anxiety by palace officials, but the
populace know nothing of what is
liable to happen. Evidence of llfeel
ing toward the American people and
anxiety over the Maine disaster does
not lessen.
Tire Maine inquiry dwarfs interest
in Cuban politics, but recent develop
ments carry an official confession of
the failure OF autonomy.

LA CHAMPAGNE SAFE.
Anchored or the New foundland Banks
With Shaft Broken.


New York, March 1.-The Holland
American line steamer Rotterdam, from

night, with Third Officer George Uns-
worth and nine seamen of the overdue
French liner La Cham payne, who were

longitude 81 west. The men, when
taken aboard the Rotterdam, We're in
helpless condition, having been in the
ships lifeboat for six days and nights.

bitten.

broke her tail-end shaft Thursday, Feb
ruary H. at p. NJ, in latitude 1927,
longitude 81. 80. The steamer being
helpless, Captain Perrott anchored.
The steamer was on the edge OF the
Newfoundland banks, and there being
possibility Of the steamer not being
picked up in her position, Captain Per-
rott decided to send lieboat in search
OF assistance.

gers, and was nearly two weeks overdue.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
War with Spain Not Inevitable, but tho
situation l. Grave.

situation Il Grave.
Chicago. Feb. 2G.-The Tribune this
morning prints the following special
from Washington;
To senator who called upon him
yesterday in order to ask some serious
questions as to the policy of the admin
istration. President Mckinley, with the
utmost frankness, uttered the following
words:
Il do not propose to do anything at
all to accelerate war with Spain. Up
to the present | do not think war Is
either necessary or inevitable | would
he lax in my duty, however, ii | did
not prepare for the future. The situa-
ton is grave, and the policy Of the adj
ADMINISTRATION viii be determined almost
entirely by the course Of events from
time to time. There Is no necessity of
alarming the people, but congress must
be ready to assist the administration
without making too many inquiries as
to the course OF current events"
There is no doubt OF the fact that the
government Of the United States is
actually preparing for war with spain.

THAT SUBTERRANEAN PASSAGE.
Spaniards Confess There la Mine
Under the Harbor Entrance.

Havana, Feb. 26.--In connection
with the claim made by the Cubans
that there are mine galleries under the
harbor of Havana, leading from sub
terranean passages and known to have
existed for years, between Fort Caban-
as, Moro castle, and this port, the
Spaniards explain that for over CEN
tury, subterranean passage about two
miles long and eight feet wide at its
narrowest diameter, capable of giving
passage to Il column of troops, has ex-
listed from the navy-yard to Castillo del
Principe. But, the Spaniards further
assert, the existence OF this passage was
not known to the present authorities,
or to those who have been in power for
many years past. The entrance and
exit, it is added, have been closed for
years past, by thick walls now covered
with debris, and their exact location is
said to be lost. At the same time, it is
admitted that the matter regarding the
subterranean passage can be found in
old documents in the archives OF Ha-
vana. Finally, the Spaniards insist
that this passage does not go under
the harbor at any point.

The naval Militia.

Washington, Feb. 2G.-The navy
department today gave ont figures show
ing the strength OF the naval militia UP
to date. This shows a total force ol
i. l45 officers and enlisted men, which
is a gratifying increase from the 3, 1O3
shown by the former report.
Aside from this, new brigades are
in process OF formation which promises
to swell the total to much larger figures
at an early date. The organization OF
this auxiliary arm of the naval service
is under the immediate direction of
Lieutenant Gibbons, U. 5. N, whose
energy has accomplished much is Sc
curing state organization and IN the
harmonizing OF the bodies into one COM
pact force, capable in emergency OF CO.
operating with the regular navy.
In his last report, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt said that the state naval mil
tia, in the event of sudden emer-
gency, could be utilized at once for
manning the smaller cruisers. 1t could
be depended upon mainly, he said, as Il
second line of defense, and also he used
in placing mines and the establishment
OF signal stations for coast defense.
The appropriation OF $50, 900 that is
to aid the work of the naval militia will
be distributed among the states in a
few days.

PLAN NOT CHANGED.
The Hawaiian Commission to Sail
for Honolulu About Au-
gust 10.

Washington, July Ex-senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, a member of the
Hawaiian annexation commits sion, saw
President Mckinley Thursday after
noon and suggested to him the wisdom
OF delaying the departure and work
of the commission until about October
l in view of the existing Spanish
American situation, and the desira-
bility of adjudication first of matters
connected with Hawaii's land laws.
The president, however, thought that
it was best to proceed with the i'm
portant work at once and accordingly
the present plan of the commission to
sail from San Francisco on August 10
remains unchanged. The president in
the course of the conference expressed
himself as highly pleased over the en-
thusiastic reception OF the news of the
annexation in the islands.
