NOTES OF THE DISASTER.

Brief Bits of Important News Bearing
on the Horror in Havana Harbor.
The wreck has sunk several feet already
in the soft mud.
The Spanish Government will stake all
on the claim that the disaster was acci-
dental.
The main portion of the wreck, as seen
from above and noted from below, was
blown to starboard.
A large quantity of clothing has been

sentiment of Senators and Representa-
tives. They all say that the time has gone
by for any questions of belligerency and
that the only point ut issue now is whether
the United States shall seize Havana
harbor, root up it's submarine mines and
make it free and safe TO the navies of the
world. The administration fully recog-
nizes the dangerous situation and is MAX
ing preparations for war War may not
come, but the Government will be pre-
pared If ii does come.
The suspicion that the Maine was blown
up by n torpedo or submarine mine has
grown almost to a conviction. No one in
Washington, says this correspondent. can
explain why such an act should have been
committed, and many hope that it may be
proven that it was not committed by any
Spanish official; but there are few who
any longer hold TO the theory of an acci-
dental explosion in one of the magazines
or have any assurance that a conflict with
Spain will not follow the development OF
the fact that the Maine was destroyed by
an act of treachery.
1t is admitted that Consul General Lee
has warned Americans who are in Ha-
vana on pleasure to leave because they
are not safe. Cabinet members are talk
ing guardedly about indemnity. Naval
officials admit that warships are moving
toward Key West and that work is being
pushed with all possible speed on ships
now in the various navy yards. Army
officials admit that Notifications are to
bc manned at once and that other prepar-
ntions are making to place our military
arm in the best possible condition.
Activity Is Significant.
All these things are explained as only
in keeping with the plans formulated
months or weeks ago, and that they have
no especial or immediate significance ut
this time. But they arc In keeping with
the suspicion now almost a conviction,
that the Maine was destroyed by hostile
act of some one connected with the Span
ish army.
II Is not, however, the preparations in
the Navy or War Department or the
warnings of Gen. Lee for Americans to
leave Havana that point to a crisis as
much as 1t is the feeling that the Maine
Was destroyed by treachery. The most
conservative men IN Congress fail to find
any possible plan for righting this great

about two weeks. However it is stated
