FLOOD OF WILD RUMORS
SWEEPINGS AND COMPREHENSIVE
DENIAL FROM SECRETARY LONG
A Positive Statement That the Navy
Department Has No knowledge
Regarding ale Cause of the Maine
Disaster That Has Been Kept
From Reaching the Public.

NAO1lNGIOIN, FeD. 1S.-The fed-
ture of the day at the navy department
was the large number of rumors of a
warlfke tendency that came to the at
tention of the officials as requiring at
tention, and in every case contradic-
ton. So formidable had grown the list
that, at the close of office hours, Secre-
tary Long was induced to make the
following statement as the easiest
manner of disposing at one time of all
the stories:
Really no information has been received
since Capt. Sigsbees first dispatch. adding
anything to our knowledge Of the disaster
All we know is that the Maine blew up
There is abundant room for speculation but
no conclusion can be arrived at until an
and more facts obtained. 1t Is a simple
fact to say that such thing might hap
pen by design or 1t might happen by acci-
dent As yet there Is no indication of de-
sign therefore, my impression has been
all along. and l rather think the general
opinion preponderates in the same direction,
that 1t must have been accidental
AT the cabinet meeting today the mat
ter was not discussed except as any body
or men talk about an event of that kind,
and most of that talk referred TO the ter
rible loss OF life and sympathy for the suf-
ferers.
You may say absolutely that there has
been no secret cabinet meeting; that moth
ing has taken place in the cabinet that the
PUBIC has not been informed about; that
the whole policy OF this department has
been TO give the public al the dispatches:
that the department has no more knowledge
on the subject of the cause of the disaster
or even or the circumstances attending 1t
tnan has the public, and that the reDorT IN
the effect that Capt. Sigsbee had warned
the department that the Maine was In danger
from submarine mines or torpedoes is ut
terly without foundation, no such report
body else.

A Condemned Man With a Drunken Keeper
 Behaved We'll.
c. E. Mast and Wee Tunq's Remark able Journey to
 San Quentin.
Sheriff,s Office Attache Suspended for a Month-The Chinese in "Hoo-
 doc Cell"

c. E. Mast, a keeper in the Sheriff's office, looked upon the vine when 1t was carmlre in the cup last Friday, and in consequence has been laid off" for a week. Ordinarily not much at tention would have been paid to so common an occurrence, but on this particular occasion Mast was under the influence while taking a Chinese under sentence of death by hanging to San Quentin and ran grave risks of the escape of his charge.
 Mast was sent to San Quentin with Wee Tung, the Chinese who murdered his uncle because he "taiIIee too muchee." in his care, on Friday morn ing. On his way from the Sheriff's of fee to the County Jail he met friend and the two had several drinks. The liquor had taken no percepible effect when he reached the jail. otherwise Chief Jailer Sattler would not have ln- trusted the condemned Chinese to his custody. But when the keeper and the condemned man got aboard the ferry boat the fact that Mast had been drinking too much was clearly in evil dence.
 It Is asserted that Mast went to sleep on the train and left the Chinese to amuse himself as best he might, and that at Green Brae station he was awakened by NJ. HerZog, a San Rafael merchant. Anyway, the sight of drunken man taking prisoner to the State Prison, handcuffed though he was, attracted considerable attention and a deal of unfavorable comment.
 Warden Hale happened to be on the same boat and train that conveyed Mast and Wee Tung to their destina- tiOn, and kept an eye on their actions. As soon as he reached San Quentin he immediately telephOned Sheriff Whelan that Mast was intoxicated, but that the prisoner had been safely jailed. When Mast came back to make his report he was suspended for a month.
 Deputy Sheriff Clack stated last evening that Mast has the reputation of being a sober, reliable man, and that he himself believed the keeper would not have drunk anything at all if he had not met a particular friend whom he had not seen for long time. This, at least. is what the suspended keeper told Clack. Mast also denied that he had gone to sleep on the train.
 Tung was placed in the 'hoodoo cell'' in Murderers' Row, and will expiate his crime on the same gallows as did Dur rant, on March 8. It is said that every man confined in the "hoodoo cell'' has met his death on the gallows-there being not a single case to be quoted where the courts or the Governor have stepped in to interfere with the ukase of the law.

brilliant performances known to the slips.
 The first brace were loosed after the elusive hare shortly after 1 D. m. The rain was descending in solid columns and the field was like a sward of soRgv velvet. But there was no lack of en- thusiasm. Crowded beneath the shel tering grand stand the several hundred present gave vent to their opinions and backed them with a vivacity that no rain could dampen. With two excep- tions all the dogs nominated were sent to the slips and one of these absentees was due to accident incurred in train ing. The latter was the San Jose flyer, owned by Henry Spring.
 Taken throughout the talent had matters well in hand. The entry in cluded fifty hounds and the run down therefore embraced twenty-five runs. Of these the favorites landed nine teen.
 But there was a solid fall or two when the six short enders raised a flag. The first came with the contest be- tween Yigilant and Premier. yigilant
