WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Upon receipt
of the sad intelligence from Havana
at the marine hospita! bureau, an Or
der was issued by Surgeon General
Wyman assigning Surgeon b. w.
Brown to duty at Key West, where the
wounded of the Maine are to be cared
for. Surgeon Brown Immediately left
for the south and will be stationed at
the Key West Marine hospital, which
is in charge of DIR. Gregorio Guiteras,
brother of the famous yellow fever ex-
pert, DIR. John Guiteras, of Philadel-
phia.h Reports from Havana are of
such character that it was deemed
injudicious to have the injured men
sent to any of the hospitals near the
scene of the disaster.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s-Facts were
few, but theories plentiful, in the navy
department Thursday SO far as the
Maine disaster was concerned. Out
side of the action indicated by Adm.
Sicard in the appointment of the court
of inquiry and the adoption of further
measures for the disposition of the
wounded and the interment of the
dead the department officials felt that
there was little to do at this moment
and that it remained for the investiga-
tion to be completed before further
action could be taken.
Adm. Sicard's board has ample au-
thority to make the most searching in
vestigation into the causes of the dis
aster. The Fern and the Msngrove re-
ported arrived at Havana Wednesday
