An Important Item.

Havana, March 12.-At the point
where the explosive force that wrsck-
ed the Maine was primarily exerted
there is at present depth of water of
nearly Al feet. This important fact,
resring out what has been already
said, learned today from q source the
reliability of which is not open to
doubt. The Maine, as she lay at her
moorings, drew not more than % or %
feet amidships. 1t was we'll known
that she had not more than 10 feet of
water under her bottom. This would
show total average depth of waite.
at the point where the Maine wss
anchored not exceeding 38 or 80 feet.
Now it is found that at the point wher'.
the bottom plates were forced UP
through other wreckage to height OF
% feet above their normal position.
here is a hole scooped out of the bot
tom of the harbor to depth OF from
8 to 10 feet below its average level

Artillery Now on a War Footing.

All batteries of artillery in the Unit
ed States army have been ordered to
attach six horses instead OF four to
each gun and caisson. In peace four
horses can only pull their loads, but
with caissons filled with projectiles
nnd powder. and the rough work of
coming into position on the battlefield,
six horses are necessary. During The
rast week the drivers in the artillery
have been constantly drilled with six
horses instead of four. The artillery
arm of the service is now on a war
footing. The assimilating of the two
new regiments is being rapidly ac-
c ,mplished with no apparent loss of
lime or impairment of efficiency of the
servica. The authorities proceeded
upon the plan that the FIVE regiments
could more efficiently aud easily abs rH
the two new ones by breaking up the
old organization entirely. There were
Eve old trained men to each two re-
crui.s: herefo e, instead of havi- e two

says:
'There have been troubles with

Congressman Smith has the courage

fully to high silk hat and an imma-

bination of principles and natty attire
led to little adventure, which he re-
counts with great satisfaction He
had a personal encounter with five
Spanish soldiers this morning and
managed to teach them a lesson in
good manners. An English officer
Witnessed the encounter and stood by
to see that the American congressman
got fair play. Mr.. Smith tells the
story of the encounter:
81 had been told that it was not al
ways safe for an American TO lOiter
about Havana alone, but l was deter
mined to see the city for myself. l
started out Early in the forenoon and
walked toward the outskirts of the city.
[ must confess that the misery of the
Door reconcentrados stirrs d my soul to
the depths. 1 was busily engaged talk
ing to some of these people and asking
how they Jared when a group of Span
ish soldiers came up.
"I unders land Spanish, and when
they began to talk sneeringly not only
of my personal appearance, but also
American L began to get angry. 1
tried to pay no attention. but when
they gathered around me and pushed
and jostlcd me rudely, 1 began to take
hand in the pushing my elf. 1 had
light umbrella on my hand, but as it
was tightly rolled 1 used it to good ad-
vantage. My Spapi'h friends soon be-
gan to see that they bad struck the

| vigorous Spanish my opinion of such
an annoyance to an Anne rican citi-
| zen.
"When they finally began to get
away from me 1 discovered an Euglieh
officer, big sturdy fellow, standing
near by.
"I was ready to help you get fair
play, congr as smap, he said, but l saw
you did net need any assistance. The
most interesting part of the inciden
was that when the Spanish soldier r.
discovered that 1 was a congressman
they came back and apologized yer!
han dsomely. 1 told them it was al
right, but hoped would take lessor
from the incident and not be SO cap
tious next time they saw an American
display ing sympathy for the reconcen
trsdos."

Colonel William Ludlow, command

Fort Hamilton and Fort WadswOrth,
in an Interview shows how utterly i'm
possible it would be for Spanish war
ships to enter New York barber, or In
any way reach a point where New
York City would be in range OF their
guns. Without assistance of our navy,
Colonel Ludlow thinks the present for
tiications would be ample to defend
New York City against any fleet of
warships.
'sThe land fort; fcations around New
York, without taking into considera-
tion our navy" said Colonel Ludlow.
"would be ample protection against
any feet that might be sent against US.
''The guns of warship like the Vizca-
va cannot throw q shell farther than
or miles, as the elevation required
for 1O-inch gun, the size the Vizcaya
carries, to throw a shell farther than
this is impossible to get in the turrets
of a ship.''
