MANY MISSING.
No Trace of More Than 30 Men
of the Maine.
Three Bodies Entangled in Debris Preyed
Upon by Misunderstanding from the
Wreck for Reconcentrados-

Havana, Feb. 28-The United States
court Of inquiry into the loss of the
Maine, met this morning at 10 o'clock
as usual, and examined DR.. Heneberger,
Paymaster Day and sChief Engineer
Howell of the battleship.
Capt. Sampson said today that, sooner
or later, every survivor of the Maine
will be examined by the court, which
seems to imply that sessions for that
purpose will be continued later at Key
West
The Right Arm of the Merritt &
Chapman Derrick and Wrecking Com
pany, is moored about 200 yards from
the poop of the Maine. The wrecking tug
looks powerful enough to move a noun
tain, yet it is reported she is not sup
piled, owing to her hurried departure for
this port, with all the apparatus she
needs for the work which is before her.
Capt McGee, the commander of the
Right Arm, has reported to Capt. Sigs-
bee as ordered by the navy department,
and will act under the latter's orders,
which are not yet formulated.
Capt. Sigsbee is panied by the com
ments made by local papers on his con-
duct while the Maine was afioat. But it
is pointed out such papers are not of the
better class.
A large quantity of clothing has been
taken from the wreck, and after it has
been disinfected it will be given to the
reconcentrados.
The bodies of the missing officers,
Lieut.. Jenkins and Assistant Engineer
Merritt have not been recovered. The
divers reached Jenkins room, but it was
known that his body was not there.
Thus far the sharks have given no
trouble, but the vultures have left
scarcely anything but the skeletons of
three men who were entangled in debris
very near the surface of the water, The
bodies were not noticed by any one
until the birds had completed their
work. From the hand Of one Chaplain
Chdwick removed a deeply chased gold
ring for purposes of Identification.
This afternoon Chaplain Chidwick re-
ceived a communication from Mrs. j. p.
Keane of Chicago, praying for news of
Edward F. Keane, her son. 1t seems
certain that he is among the victims.
Chaplain Chadwick says that the total
number of missing is S5 or Sc, and five
have died in the hospital. Of the missing
many doubtless were blown to atoms,
no portions being recoverable, and there
is much doubt that any considerable
number of those whose remains are now
being removed will be identified.
