Monday afternoon the court of in
quiry personally inspected the wreck
of the Maine by the invitation of Capt
Peral, appointed by the Spanish gov
eminent as a special judge to investi-
gate the disaster, and his secretary
viewed the divers at work. Capt.
Peral expressed his appreciation of
the courteSies shown to him by the
{ court of inquiry.
A number of bodies were discovered
Monday in the forward hatch. 1t was
not possible to remove them, but they
probably will be removed Tuesday.
1t is said that a messenger has gone
to Washington with the names of the
men who touched the button which is
alleged to have wrecked the United
States war vessel.
HAVANA via Key Vest, Feb. 23.-
The situation Tuesday night was more
grave than at any time since the Maine
explosion a week ago.
Although the officers of the naval
board of inquiry preserve an impene-
trable reserve, the World correspond
ent learns that some of the best naval
experts now believe that the explosion
was the result of treachery.
They do not believe that Spanish Of
ficers were part of the conspiracy.
From evidence now in their possession
they believe the Spanish government,
Gen. Blanco and all his military subor-
dinates were guiltless alike of knowl-
edge of or participation in the crime.
1t is believed to have been set off by a
fanatic.
Naval officers fear that when the
facts are known it may be impossible
TO restrain public sentiment. Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Long are
said, frankly, by officials who have
wired directly from Washington, to be
streneously for peace.
Consul General Lee Tuesday inform
ally advised Americans not neces-
sarily detained here to leave for home
at once. Many families will sail by
the Olivette Wednesday.
HAVANA, Feb. 23.-The court of in
quiry opened at half-past ten and took
a recess at half-past twelve. Lieut..
g. F. w. Holman, navigator and ord
nance officer of the Maine, was exam
ined at the morning session. The
court met for the afternoon session at
half-past one, and Lieut.. Commander
r. Wainwright, executive officer of the
Maine, was called to the witness stand.
Lieut. Commander Wainwright has
been in immediate charge of the wreck
since the explosion.
Four divers are at work, two in the
fore part of the ship and the others
aft. The task is most laborious, and
the men are naturally extremely care
full, as they have had to work in com
plete darkness, and several have had
bad falls. Electric lights from the
Mangrove are now available and much
good is expected from them.
Nearly all the possible salvage has
now been made from the cabin aft.

The efforts TO reach the ward and mess
rooms are frustrated by some unknown
obstacle 1t is expected to find bodies
in those rooms. Two cases of ten
inch ammunition have been found, the
one having exploded, the other full of
powder. These were found forward.
Among the salvage were table ware
and the silver service of the Maine.
George w. Koebler, of Brooklyn,
died Tuesday at the Military hospital.
All the other injured show some inn
prOvement.
Gunner Charles Morgan, of the
cruiser New York, who is in charge of
the divers. will devote special atten-
ton to examining the ammunition in
the forepart of the Names hull and to
ascertain the condition of the plates,
magazines and engines. He is grad
uate of gunnery and is regarded as en-
tirely competent, as indeed are all the
divers under his direction. He is I'M
der strict orders not to give out any
thing on the subject of his investiga-
lions, except to the officers of the court
of inquiry when called upon.
partment received a dispatch from
Capt. Sigsbee Tuesday evening saying
that IA more bodies had been recov-
cred from the wreck of the Maine.
All the remains are unidentified. 1t
is not thought that any bodies will
be identified hereafter unless by
the clothing. Aside from the eff
feet of long submersion the men
stifl missing were nearly all directly
under the main deck which was blown
up and the tremendous force of the eX-
plosion probably blOtted scores Of
them out of existence entirely. The
department knew nothing of the
printed report that the the tender
Bache had left Havana with dispatches
for Adm. Sicard at Key West.

agency of explosion. We can afford to
wait a little longer, seeing that we
have waited so long. We could not
wait after it had once been proven
that the Maine disaster was the result
of a dastardly plot. Spanish officers
from the old country hold to the unac-
counta BILE belief that their arms would
overcome us in few weeks. but the
Cuban merchants have no such delu-
sion, and they would control the stu
alton. Hence | believe that no shot
from a big American gun would be
necessary"
HAVANA, Feb. "a - The wrecking
vessel Right Arm arrived here We'd
nesday morning, with Capt. Magee in
command. The board of inquiry
boarded her, and the work of raising
the Names big guns began at noon.
Thus far the work of the divers has
been inside the sunken ship. AneX-
animation of the outside of the hull
will be made at once if the permit of
the Spanish shall be obtained Consul
General Lee is here, and says that he
never once thought of leaving Havana.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-The report
has been circulated that the president
will demand SIS, 600, 600 indemnity if it
shall be proved that the Maine was
destroyed by Spain, or with her
knowledge.
A dispatch from Madrid says that no
one there will admit for a moment
that the Maine was blown up by de-
sign. The disaster is ascribed to lax
ity of discipline which prevails on
American war vessels.
War preparations are being rushed in
all arsenals, it is said. Passionate pa
triotism is displayed. The nation is
reported to have sunk partisanship in
the love of country.

ALFONSO XIII. DESTROYED.

Washington, July 6.-By COMPARISON
with what has gone before today was
very quiet at the war and navy Depart
ments.
Deep concern is felt here at the depri-
vations and sufferings OF our troops lying
in the trenches and in the field hospitals
surrounding Santiago, and there is every
where disposition to insist that here
after haste shall be made slowly and that
the equipment Of our soldiers shall be
complete in every respect before they ad-
vance further. This is likely to be the
rule, even at the expense of time and in
the face of the criticism OF the element
that has been vehemently insisting upon
rushing the campaign without regard to
cost in blood and money.
Secretary Long regarded the report that
the Alfonso XIII, had been destroyed
while trying TO run the Havana blockade
as the best news Of the day. 1t had not
come to him in any official way. but
through a report from General Greely,
chief signal officer, who had received
cipher dispatch stating briefly that a
Spanish ship had been overhauled near
Mariel while trying to get through the
blockade and was a total loss as the re-
suit Of the fire upon her.
Both the secretary and General Greedy
regarded the report as authentic, but
there was desire to get more details.
as this has been something OF spectral
ship.
The Alfonso Kill. Is an iron gunboat
with one screw, one funnel and one mill
tary mast, barque-rigged. go feet long,
4S feet beam and IS feet draught. She has
a displacement of 5000 tons. She had a
speed Of II knots for short distances and
an average speed of fourteen knots. car

neXatlonists were strongly IN the ma
iority. Amendment after amendment was
offered. but the advocates OF the resolu-
lions stood solidly together, gaining
rather than losing strength on the sue
cesslve votes. Finally at 5;SQ D. m. the

form in which they were received -com the
house OF representatives were reported 10
the senate and roll call began.
Not a sound was heard in the chamber
except the call Of the clerk and the re-
plies Of the senator's When the Vice
president announced the vote by which
the resolutions were passed. a tremend0us
wave OF applause swept through the gall
leries. which the vice president made no
effort TO check.
Morrill,. OF Vermont, was the only re-
publican who voted against the resolu-
tions. although ThurstOn. Nebraska, and
spOoner. Wisconsin, were paired against
them.
Six democrats. German. OF Maryland,
McLaurin, OF South Carolina. Money, or
Mississippi, Morgan, OF Alabama, Peltus,
Of Alabama, and Sullivan, Of Mississippi,

Of the vote for the resolutions, the treaty

iority, but as twelve pairs would have
been arranged on a basis OF two votes
