y NEW YORK. March THE Jour-
nal and Advertiser will tomorrow print
a story to the effect that former Cap
tain General WcRler, OF Cuba, bought
a large quantity OF powder from the
Dlttmar Powder Company, OF this city,
the powder being shipped to Havana
last November. Lieutenant White. Of
the Twenty-third regiment National
Guard, OF this city, Is given MS author
ity for this statement. The claim Is
made that the powder and a large guam
tIty OF other explosives were>shipped to
Havana on the steamer Ciudad Condal
about November 20. It Is asserted that
the two national guardsmen who had
charge OF the explosives on behalf Of
the Dlttmar Powder Company, were
Captain G. +. Hamlin and Lieutenant
White. Hamlin Is the manager Of the
Ditttnar Powder Company, while White
Is the boo,s-keeper. On account OF the

that Captain General Weyler wished to
use the articles in the construction Of 4

COURT OF INQUIRY

Examine Ensign Powel.on and tho Div.
crs pians-attempted Smuggling.
HAVANA. March THE court Of In
Qulry held Its usual sessions to-day, ex-
amining Ensign Powelson and the divers
plans. The Spanish divers work when
they desire to do so. The day was beau
tiful and the wreckers advanced steadily
In clearing away the debris. Many artl.
cles OF personal value to the officers OF
the Maine are recovered from time to
time.
On account of the attempted smuggling
from New York, the customs officers
give careful examinations of all con-
slgnments OF relief supplies. Except on
the order OF the military authorities, the
distribution of quinine has been pro-
hibited for a time. It was found that
much qulnine made its way into the
hands OF the insurgents. No official in
formation Is accessible concerning the
reported deportation OF several Amerl-
can correspondents. Several Americans
were passengers on the Ward line
steamer Concoho to-day.
AS bearing on the state of the public
feeling here. It Is worth nothing that
there were thirty-two balls. and more or
less elaborate parties in Havana last
night.
NEW YORK, March IA dispatch 10
the Tribune from Havana, says:
The arrival of the Spanish warship
Almlr1nte Oquendo. while the Spanish
population was still rejoicing over the
coming OF the Vizcaya, has given the
Spanlards ON exaggerated notion of
Spa!n's naval prowess. The tendency
is 10 cause n feeling that war with the
United States would not be serious for
Spain. The Idea may seem ridiculous in
the states. yet, the existence OF this be-
lief among large elemen. OF the pop
ulat!on OF Havana should not be iGnor-
ed. These Spanish warships encourage
the notion that the result of the Maine
inquiry is subject of indifference to
the Spanish government.
Not many days will be needed for
Captain Sampson and his associates to
conclude the investigation. The wreck
Ing companies are making progress In
clearing away through superstructure.
During the absence OF the board the
navy department divers have been able
10 extend thcir examination of the
plates of the hull. They found these
plates twisted as from an outside ex-
ploslon. Everything previously learned
regarding the forward magazine being
intact, and the existence OF large guam
titles Of unexploded ammunition has
been confirmed md strengthened.
without going into mlnutiae. 1t may be
said the navy department divers have
secured much technical evidence from
the condition of the hull and keel and
interior OF the wreck that the Maine en-
plosion was due to foul play As to
whether by torpedo or submarine
mine doubts may be left. Not much
proof can be gathered by the naval
board concerning the persons who
wcro In the conspiracy. The Spanish
authorities are In better position 10
determine that matter.

under free silver. Is ne right Or is he
wrong?
