PLOT TO blow UP THE CONSULATE
story Sent Out from Tampa Which
sounds Like IA Fake.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 1S.-The Havana hor-
ror and the suspicious It has aroused
shows UP a bitter proclamation secretly
circulated in Havana some time ago OF
a plot to blow up Gen. Lee and the con-
sulate. These circulars were printed at
Havana In Spanish and sent in a package
to Spanish Consul Curzi then at Key
West, and then sent here to be forward
ed TO a certain party in Havana for dis
tribution. He was not here, but had gone
and they were sent to him at Havana.
Just at that time Jose Luis Miguel
Cuban of Tampa, was In Havana, and
by mistake the postman delivered the
package TO him. 1t soon became known
that he had IL and was aware OF the
bitter feeling so he was entced TO a
building on Tacoma street one night and
then told he must join in the plot to blow
up the American consulate. He indignant
~ refused and was then told that unless
he did they would send him TO Fernando
Po, on the coast Of Africa. He finally
accepted their terms and became very
active and won their confidence and then
told them 1t was necessary for him to
make a trip to Tampa to see his family
and he has never had time to go back.
He says that the Spanish General Com
zales Parade was often at the house on
Tacoma street. which was the usual meet
ing place for the conspirators, who had
ideas of bombs. He gave the Associated
Press correspondent copy OF the proc
lamation which, translated literally, reads
as follows:
'"Spanlards-Th time has arrived when
the patience of the loyal has vanished be-
fore the decided protection that the Amer
leans lend to the bands of turbulent for
ayers who lay waste our country. Death
to them
"The moment has arrived to lower the
colossal head of the Americans. and prove
10 them that our unconquerable nation
can reach the doors of the capitol at
Washington, demand reparation for the
grave offenses which they daily inhict up
on US.
"Expel yes, expel without delay Consul
General Lee, who, with-is family, is
nothing more than the miserable secretary
of the bandits.
Away, away, with the Yankee consulate
protector of criminals Of the lowest de-
gree!
EVERY moment the action OF justice is
inpeded by American interference.
Are we 90 continue our toleration?
mo No! o thousand times, No!
Consul General Lee, when the stupend-
Gus explosion comes that will carry con-
sternation to the whole city, IL you have
strength left IL would be well for you to HE
yourself TO your country and relate what
has happened 10 you.
Long life 10 Spain! Long life to Span
ish Cuba! Death 10 our enemies!"

PROBABLY THE MAGAZINE.
Effect of Torpedo Explosions Not
Like That ON the Maine.


Washington, Feb 1S.-The opinion of
one of the leading naval experts in the
United States of high explosives, Prof
Alger. OF the ordnance bureau, as to the
cause of the explosion, is as follows:
"As to the question of the cause of the
Names explosion we know that no tor
pedo, such as is known to modern warfare,
can of itself cause an explosion of the
character of that on board the Maine. We
know of no instance where the explosion
of torpedo or dynamite under a ships
bottom has exploded the magazine within.
1t has simply torn a great hole in the side
or bottom, through which water entered,
and in consequence of which the ship sunk.
Magazine explosions, oil tne contrary, pro-
duce effects exactly similar to the effects
of the explosion OH board the Maine, and
to the Names magazine we should natur-
allv look, and not for impT obable or for
unusual causes. The most common of
magazine explosions is caused throush
fire in the bunkers. Many of our ships
have been in danger at various times from
this cause, and not long ago fire in the
Cineinnati's bunkers actually set fire to
fittings. wooden boxes, etc, within the
magazine, and had it not been discovered
at the time it was, II would doubtless have
resulted in a catastrophe on heard that
ship similar to the one on the Maine.
81 shall again emphasize the fact that
ro torpedo exploded without a ship has
ever produced, or accc ding to our knowl-
edge, can it produce, an explosion OF a
magazine within"

appliance bearing their name; Senior Po-
raj, the judge in the case of the Maine.
and the members of the technical COM
mission, have requested the authorization
of Consul General Lee to take depositions
of the officers of the Maine, to appoint a
commission to inspect the wreck of the
Maine and investigate the cause of the
explosion. Gen, Lee has not yet replied to
the application, and, consequently, the ex-
perts have not commenced work
The divers are only employed in recov-
ering bodies of the dead. Up to 8 O'Clock
this morning ninety-seven bodies were re-
covered. Eight funeral wagons are en-
ployed in carrying the bodies from La
Macina to Colon cemetery,
The men searching for bodies have also
recovered number of sad relics of the
Maine, including a medical chest enlist
ment records, a gold watch and chain
marked "P. T. Bartlett, Waltham, So, ,134''
and five portraits.
Approach to the Maine is now prohibi-
ted inside of 100 metres, excepting in the
case of boats of the United States navy
or boats having a special permit This
action is taken as precautionary meas s.
ure against any accident occurring during
the inspection by the American divers and
ordered by Capt. Sigsbee
Neither Gen. Lee nor Capt. Sigsbee has
so far asked permission to inspect the
work in connection with the wreck of the
Maine.
Capt. Gen. Blanco and Bishop Santan.
der have visited Consul General Lee.
Gen. Lee is receiving many telegram:
from mayors and other officials expressing
sympathy at the loss of the Maine, anC
the foreign consuls have either called per.
sonally or have sent written expressions Of
their condolences.
Messages of regret have been received
from the Chamber of Commerce, the pres
ident of the colonial government, DIR. Con
gosto, the secretary general, the Governor
of Havana the mayor of Havana. the
Marquis Estaban, the municipal council

In addition the theaters have suspended

ATTITUDE OF THE PRESIDENT.
VIII Assume That the Explosion
Was an Accident.

VIII Assume That the Explosion
Was an Accident.
Washington, Feb 1S.-The only absen-
tees at the cabinet meeting to-day were
Secretaries Sherman and Alger.
During the meeting the disaster to the
Maine was the principal topic of discus
sion. Although the President and MEM
bers of the cabinet await with interest the
result of the investigation of the disaster,
there remains in their minds no doubt that
it was purely an accident. This view of
the matter, however. will not influence
the President to stop short of a most
searching investigation into all the facts,
present and remote, that may have an pos
sible bearing upon the case, or throw on
1t a single ray of light.
Until facts are shown to the contrary
the President will assume that the explo-
sion came from within and was not the
result of treachery on the part of any one.
The President is receiving a large num-
ber Of letters cOngratulating him for the
course he has pursued in this matter, as
well as in the case of the late Spanish
minister, De LONE.
The President announced to the cabinet
that he would send bouquet of flowers
to Mrs. Sigsbee, a decision which was ap-
proved by the cabinet, and accordingly
Ensign Kittelle, son-in-iaw of Capt. Sigs-
bee, was summoned from the navy de-
partment to the White House and laden
with an immense bouquet tied with white
satin ribbons. Floral tributes were also
ordered sent to the families of the six
members of the Names crew living here,
who met their death in the explosion.

Admiral Manterola refuses to allow the

to make an investigation near the werck,
at least until Capt Slgsbee shall have fn-
ished his official inves tigation.
Capt. Sigsbee and Gen Lee visited Capt.
Gen. Blanco this morning and had con-
ference at which il was decided that the
American press divers should not be al
lowed to go inside the wreck. though any
diver appointed by Capt. Sigsbee is to have
fun liberty of movement. The govern
ment has wired to Washington requesting
permission for Spanish official divers to
examine the wreck outside and INSIDE.
At o'clock this evening 135 bodies had

Havana still mourns with the American
people Since the funeral ceremonies yes
terday the city has removed the outward
signs of grief, but the work of succoring
the living and caring for the dead proceeds
tenderiy and unremttingly. Every care
is shown the survivors.
Capt. Gen. Blanco and the officials con-
tinue to cooperate with Capt Sigsbee and
Consul General Lee. The messages re-
celved from Spain and the United States,
showing that the action of the Havana
authorities Is appreciated by the officers,
who are making further efforts 10 anchor
ate the condition of the survivors, have
created a good impression.
There is sincere regret that circum-
stances make it Impossible TO meet the
wishes of friends who desire that the re-
mains OF their loved ones shall be sent
home for burial, but in cases where the
officers of the Maine deem it practicable
the necessary facilities will be afforded.
Statements from Madrid and Washing
ton published here to the effect that many
people In the United States believe the ex-
plosion was an accident coincide with the
opinion held by the Spanish officials and
the excitement which followed the disaster
has subsided into quiet waiting.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Army and Navy Journal Believes
Explosion Accidental.

New York, Feb. 1s.-The Army and
Navy Journal win say tomorrow regard
ing the cause of the Maine disaster: "At
the present time Of writing. indications
favor the presumption that the explosion
of the Maine was due to the spontaneous
combustion of coal In The forward bunker,
producing a temperature sufficient 10 over
heat the intervening bulkheads and thus
effect the explosion Of the ammunition
stored i'm the adjacent magazines.
whether this is the correct explanation or
not, Il is significant that II is Immediately

narrowly escaped a like fate from the
same cause, and similar fires have orlgl-
mated In the bunkers Of both the New York

anime 1t Not Unfair.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The navy depart
ment tonight received the following teIe-
gram from Capt sigsbee at Havana:
with Gen. Lee and Cowles to-day
visited Cant. Gen. Blanco and other chiefs
of the civil and military branches of the
government and returned thanks for the
great demonstration of sympathy yester-
day, and for their continued care for the
dead, and for other good offices now being
exercised in our behalf. | received addi-
tionai assurances of sympathy and desire
to help. The Spanish authorities feel the
situation acuteiy. I have promised to
maintain an official character to all work
done on the wreck of the Maine. No fric-
tion anywhere. Sigsbee."
The reference to the official character
of the work Is interpreted at the navy de-
partment to mean that no divers hired by
newspapers will be allowed to Investigate
the wreck.
AS to the published statements that
Spain intends to claim joint interest in
the work of the court of inquiry, the de-
partment says that under the harbor reg
ulations of any civilized port the local
authorities are bound to make an official
investigation of any wreck occurring in
their JuflSdlctiOH, irrespective OF the ma
tionality OF the vessel or of any investi-
cation by another government in case it
is a craft owned by foreign power. As
the matter Is understood here, this Is the
only right Spain claims in the case, and it
is conceded TO be entirely fair. This state
ment of the case was confirmed at the
Spanish legation.
A message was received this afternoon
that the coast survey steamer Bache, with
divers and apparatus aboard, had sailed
from Tampa for Havan.

SPANS EYE on THE DIVERS.
Americans Nay Not BE Allowed to
Go Down Alone.

Madrid, Feb. 1S.-The newspapers here
are urging the government to adopt pre-
cautions when The American divers arrive,
and not to allow them to descend alone
and examine the Maine, as divers sent by
private persons might be bribed to report
at variance with the actual facts, ana
might even do something to the hull which
would serve as a confirmation of their re-
port.
Here II is thought improbable that Capt.
cen. Blanco will allow private divers 10
descend, or even those sent officially by
The United States government If they are
unaccompanied by Spanish divers.
The newspapers here fear serious trou-
bic unless a strict supervision is exercised,
