WRECK HARD TO EXPLORE.
Condition of the 1O-Inch Magazine
May Now Be known.

May Now BE known.
Havana. Feb. 2S.-The tug Right Arm,
belonging to the Merritt-Chapman Wreck
ing Company, with additional divers and
apparatus, arrived here this morning.
The Right Arm is moored about $50
yards from the poop of the Maine. The
wrecking tug looks powerful enough TO
move a mountain, yet it is reported that
she is not supplied, owing to her hurried
departure for this work, with all the appli-
ances which she needs for the work that
is before her.
A strong wind to-day made the harbor
rough and added to the difficulties of the
divers as the electric lights are worked
from a battery on board the lighthouse
tender Mangrove, 200 yards distant.
Capt. Sigsbee is panied by the COM
ments on his conduct while the Maine was
afioat, made by some of the papers here,
but it is pointed out such papers are not
of the better class
The captain has been so universally
courteous, and is apparently 50 popular
with all 1t is surprising that any of the
papers of Havana should seek to do him
injustice.
The wounded are doing well. The Oil
vette may take two bodies 20 the United
States this afternoon. The identity of the
bodies is not known at present.
1t is reported that five bodies probably
of firemen, were found under the hatch
leading to the freroom to-day.
Those engaged in examining the wreck
Of the battleship hope to-day to settle the
question definitely as to whether the ten
inch magazine on the starboard side was
blown Up forward.
1t Is suggested that the public should
bear in mind that a warship Is not easy
to get about in, even when anoat and the
difficulties are therefore much greater
when such a ship is wrecked and under
water This accounts for the slowness of
the results of the divers work
MISC Clara Barton, president OF the Red
Cross Society in the United States, is ac-
lively engaged in the relief work and sys-
tenn now prevails where lack Of it was for
merly noted.
The survivors here of the Maine received
to-day their first mail advices from home
since the warship was destroyed, and
every one is Fastening to prepare mail for
the steamer sailing at l O'Clock this af-
ternoon.
Up to last night 15s bodies Of the crew
OF the battleship had been buried, all of
them with religious services.
The bodies of the missing officers, Lieut.
Jenkins and Engineer Merritt, have not
been discovered. The divers reached the

COURT OF INQUIRY's WORK.
Additional Witnesses Examined But
Nothing Given Out.

Havana, Feb. 23.-The United States
court of inquiry into the loss of the Maine
met this morning at 10 o'clock and exam
ined DR.. Henneberger, Paymaster Ray
and Chief Engineer Howell Of the battle
ship. There was recess ordered al noon,
and it lasted until 80 o'clock. Several
witnesses. whose names are not now OBJ
tainable, were examined during the after
noon.
Another visit was made to the wreck ty
Capt. Sampson, president of the court.
The captain says he has no idea of the
length of time the court will remain in
session here. 1t all depends upon the tes-
timony, and new features requiring fur
ther investigation may develop at any
time.
Capt Sampson added that sooner or
later, every survivor of the Maine will be
examined by the court, which seems to i'm
ply that sessions for that purpose " i'll
be held at Key West.
Although this information is meager, it
is absolutely all Capt. Sampson would give
to the press.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press sees him twice daily by appointment.
but there is a rigid rule to observe silence
until the facts in the case have been de-
veloped through the testimony.

NEGRO BURGLAR LYNCHED.
other Lynchings Expected 90 Follow
His Confession.

Ills 0OuIeshfOh.
Mayfield, KY, Feb. GA mob of about
300 or 400 citizens of Mayfield and Graves
county gathered from different points In
the outskirts of the city tonight, and
dragged Richard Allen (colored) out Of jail
and carried him to the court yard, and
swung him to a tree next TO the one on
which Jim Stone was hanged little over
a year ago.
Allen is the negro who broke into James
A. Wrights house last Saturday night,
and pointing a pistol into Mr.. Wrlghts
face, demanded his money He was ar
rested Sunday morning, and was identified
a few hours later.
Allen, after being swung up two or three
times, finally acknowledged that he be-
longed to a gang of negroes composed Of
himself Tom Holmes, Harve Rice, Bob
Grundy and three others, whose names
could not be learned. lie said they were
responsible for all the crimes committed
here, end told who had most Of the arti-
cles stolen from the people here. The mob
determined to deal summary justice to the
other members of the gang, and 1t Is
thought that the others will be dealt with
In the same manner.
Allen claims that he was given $50 not to
tell anything about the matter.
The mob was one OF the most orderly
ones that has ever been formed In this
town, not a shot being fired during the en-
tire transactions.
The citizens of the town greatly deplore
the act. but II seems TO be the only remedy
by which to stop the burglaries The latest
report is that they have gone after the
other negroes.

Wife's Death Leads to Mortal Conn
bat Between Two Men.
Little Rock, Ark, Feb. GA double
tragedy was enacted in wagon yard on
Rock street at Il o'clock this morning, the
principals TO the ARRAY being j. Il. Hart
zell, physician of some prominence, and
William K. Elliott, proprietor of the yard
in which the shooting occurred. The trag-
edy grew out of family affairs, in which
Mrs. Hartzell was involved. and which, It
is alleged, led to that lady's suicide, which
occurred about month ago.
DR.. Hartzell fired three shots at Elliott,
when only five feet away. Two of the
bullets took effect, one in the abdomen
and one in the chest.
Elliott sprang upon Hartzell, and,
wrestling the revolver from him, turned 1t
upon Hartzell and fired two shots, one Of
them striking Hartzell in the cheek.
Physicians pronounce both men mortally
wounded, and their death is hourly expect
ed
According to the statement of witnesses,
Elliott made improper advances to Mrs.
Hartzell during the Doctors absence some
time ago, and a tragedy was narro WHY
averted at that time.
The Hartzells finally separated, and later
Mrs. Hartzell committed suicide on ac-
count of her trouble. 4

body was not there Thus far the sharks
have given no trouble, but the vultures
have left scarcely anything but the skel-
etons of three men, who were entangled

their ghastly work. From the hand of

Senior Jose Poo, the lawyer who was

places they were received with the utmost
courtesy by the Spanish officials and their
citizens generally.
They left Santiago the night of the dis
Gster on the Maine, but heard nothing Of
Il until they arrived at San Domingo last
Friday, when the United States consul in
formed Commander Converse that he had
been advised that the Maine had been
blown UP in Havana harbor, none of the
officers were disposed to believe the re-
port. and they knew nothing of the partic-
ulars until they arrived here to-day.
While Commander Converse and the
other officers are not disposed TO express
an opinion as to the cause of the disaster,
the men talk freely and express the opin-
ton that 1t was the work of Spaniards. All
of the men are anxious for a fight.
Capt. Crowninshield was the first COM
mander of the Maine after she was COM
missioned, and was shocked this morning
when he heard the story of the accident
and the large number of men killed. ~
am thoroughly familiar with every detail
of the construction of the Maine" said
he. "but / do not care 60 express an opin-
ion as to how the accident occurred, as
Capt. Sigsbee has declined to express an
opinion ] do not believe that any other
officer OF the navy win venture one. The
Maine was a fine vessel, and her loss Is
a severe blow TO the navy, but the loss
of so many brave men is far greater
blow"
On board the Montgomery are ten men
transferred from the Maine just before
that vessel sailed for Havana. These men
shed tears when they learned the fate of
so many of their former comrades.
The Montgomery will leave for Kev
West at o'clock tomorrow afternoon. In
entering the bay of small port on the
coast of Hayti she ran aground on a sand
bar, but was gotten Off without sustain
ing any damage.

Campbelsville. KY, Feb. 2S.-One dead
and the other dying is the result of a des-
perate duel between Robert Shipp and
Lloyd Horton, brothers-in-law, in Taylor
county, near this place, to-day.
The duel grew out of a fued Of long
standing between the men, and for sensa-
tional features has not been equalled in
this section.
This afternoon Shipp was passing Hor-
toms house. Horton was standing outside
and Shipp made some remark to him. Hor-
ton told him he wanted nothing to do with
him and to get away from him, where
upon Ship drew his pistol and fired, the
ball entering just 10 the right of Hor-
toms navel
Horton then drew his pistol and fired.
Shipp fell and instantly expired, but IIor-
ton continued to fire until the contents of
his revolver were emptied into Ships
body.
Horton called his wife to assist him into
the house, saying that he was killed. AT 9
o'clock he was dying. Both leave large
families.

DEPARTURE OF THE MARBLEHEAD
An Immense Crowd Out at New Or
leans to bid Her Good-by.

W NAGE 0OOO~Dys
New Orleans, Feb 23.-The United
States cruiser Marblehead weighed anchor
at 10:15 o'clock to-day and sailed for Key
West, where she will join the north Allan
tic squadron at Dry Tortugas. The Marble
head took aboard here small quantity of
coal.
An immense crowd assembled on the
river front as the Marblehead pulled up
her mudhooks and steamed half mile up
the river before returning. The vessel sped
rapidly down the river past the French
and Austrian warships, hundreds waved
handkerchiefs in farewell, all the vessels
in the harbor footed their whistles, cannon
were fired from shore, and the foreign
ships dipped their flags.
The departure Of the ship was without
incident and created no strl among the Of
ficers and crew, as It had been semi-of-
ficially announced two days ago that the
Marblehead would leave to-day her only
business being TO do honor to the city at
carnival time.

NINE THEORY GAINING GROUND.
Correspondent of a Washington Pa
ner Grows SensntiOnaI.

Havana, Feb. 2S.-Mr. Pepper, the corre-
spondent of the Washington Star. to-day
sent his paper the following:
Enquiry into the Maine disaster pro-
crosses along definite lines. The results
so far may be summed up in the statement
that the probabilities that 1t was an acci-
dent seem to decrease with the progress
Of the investigation.
''The most intense anxiety is shown by
the Spanish officials here. who are in con-
slant communication with Madrid. They
realize that relations with the United
States were never so much in danger Of
ruptire as now. This is the general feel
ing. The commercial classes here are
hopeful of American Intervention on
peaceful lines, but what they base their
hopes on Is unknown.
"The insurgents continue to win minor
military engagements; the autonomists
are restless.
''Army officers continue to show anti
American sentiment. They are apparent
ly the only class that does not look for an
early crisis. Pepper
