CEMENT FELL
 FROM ABOVE One Significant Fact That Has So Far Been
 Overlooked. Ex-Engineer Clark Fishers Conclusions as to an = 7 Outside. Explosion. Portions of the Bottom of the Ship Blown Skyward in Pecu-
 liar Manner.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-At Trenton to-day Clark Fisher, late chief engineer of the United States navy said: While it is certain that the truth will be dis closed upon the divers examination, one significant fact about the Maine's destruction seems to have escaped mo- tice. How did it happen that masses of cement fell from above? One large triangular piece came from above upon the deck of the City of Washington of sufficient size and force to pierce that steamers deck, and as stated in to- days Herald, Lieutenant Blandin says huge pieces of cement fell with grat- ings and other debris, a piece of ce- ment striking him on the head
 Where did this cement come from and how did it get there? The spaces in the bottom of ship, at it's very low est part and against the skin of the ship, are filled in with cement. The projecting force upward must neces- sarily come from below this filling ce- ment. The only position below that cement is the outside of the ship.
 Any internal explosion would neces- sarily come from somewhere above the ships bilges and must drive the ce- ment with the bottom of the ship down Ward'

 READY FOR BATTLE
No Orders to Get Ready, but Any Spanish Force Could Be Met
 and Repulsed

VALLEJO, Feb. 18-No word has yet been received at the navy yard to pre- pare for an emergency. Admiral Kirk land expected to receive some commit nication from the Navy Department almost hourly to-day to prepare the vessels under his charge for sea, but no word came.
 Only two war vessels on the coast can be relied on for instant use in an emergency, and these are considered by naval officers to be the most effec- tive ships of the Pacific fleet They are the monitors Monterey and Monadnock, now at Monterey. The Oregon is in the dry dock at Port Orchard, and though it will take several weeks to complete the repairs to be made in her she can be sent to sea in a very few hours mo- tice and perform all the service that can be expected of a battle ship of her class.
 The Philadelphia, Charleston and Yorktown are at the navy yard. They have been placed out of commission and it will take several days to put them in condition for sea. It will not only require time but Admiral Kirk

land says it will need money to do the necessary work on them to put them ready for service.
 Before any work can be done here, said the admiral, 'the Navy Depart ment or Congress will have to give the yard some money. With money we can do wonders, and if we have funds we can with the fleet at our command guard this coast against any force the Spaniards might send against us.
 ''As far as we are concerned on this coast we are not absolutely prepared for an immediate declaration of war, but we could, should Congress give us the money, put our fine ships in con- dition to meet any foe Spain could send against us before their vessels could reach this coast. The two monitors and the Oregon could take care of any that might be in the immediate vicinity, and by the time they were needed to defend the shore the Philadelphia, the Charleston and the Yorktown would be ready for sea-

two companies at Fort Spokane, Wash, are intensely excited over the orders. as shown by the telephone messages from the latter post. Speculation is rife as to the whole meaning of this in- ftial movement. Indications seem to point to the early transfer of the head quarters of the Sixteenth to Vancou- yer Barracks. Wash.
 The Sixteenth was transferred to Fcrt Sherman and Spokane in Octo- Der, 1896, taking the place Of the Fourth Infantry sent to Fort Sheridan, Ill. It came from Fort Douglass, Utah. The regiment is commanded by Colonel Hugh A. Tneaker, until recently lieu tenant-colonel of the Fourteenth h. fantry, which has been stationed at Fort Vancouver since time immemorial.
 Fort Stevens, to which Company H goes, while filling an important posi- tion, has long been abandoned, and is considered of little real use unless 1t Is equipped with modern ordnance. New ertheless- the orders to reoccupy the post indicates that the Government Is desirous of manning its seacoast forts. . Under ordinary circumstances com pany of the Fourteenth would have been sent there from Fort Vancouver, but the Fourteenth has been seriously weakened by the sending of troops to Alaska. .Dr. Skinner, assistant sur geon, will accompany Company H to Fort Stevens, Dr. Brechemine, the regimental surgeon, has been ordered to cut short his leave and return to Fort Sherman at once.
 Officers high in the Department of the Columbia predict that the post at Port Townsend, abandoned in 1895, and all the coast forts on the Pacific, will soon be garrisoned.
 It Is known here that secret orders have been issued to regimental com manders throughout the army to hold themselves in readiness to move to new stations at an hours notice. This is taken to mean that a mobilization at coast points, especially the Gulf Coast, is proposed should the situation become more serious. Still the army men are anxious, because the sending of troops to Alaska has seriously crip-

boutelle Secures the Passage of the Resolution Relating to the
 Maine Horror

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-In the House to-day, immediately after the reading of the journal, Boutelle (R.) of Maine, chairman of the Naval Com mittee, asked unanimous consent for the consideration of the resolution pre- pared py the Navy Department and passed by the Senate
 The mere mention of the Maine dis aster on the floor brought members in crowds from the cloak rooms and lobbies, and they thronged down the alsles to listen. The spectators in the galleries leaned over with breathless interest as Secretary Longs letter was read.
 Tt is unnecessary to say" said Boutelle, at the conclusion of the letter from Secretary Long, that the work or salvage should begin at once and that arrangements with the wrecking companies which have the necessary outfits should not be delayed. I deem It proper to call attention to the fact that Secretary Long, recognizing that Congress is in session. has come here Tor authority to do this work instead of straining any authority he might possess independently"
 Bailey called attention to the fact that the resolution only spoke of recov- ering the bodies, not of their return to this country, but he added that there need be no sticking on this point.
 Boutelle replied that the Secretary had referred in his letter to his duty in that regard. He said he had just re- ceived a telegram from Secretary Long this morning containing the latest in- formation from Captain Sigsbee, and that it might be of interest to the members.
 Read it. Read it!" came in chor- uses from the members, and Boutelle then read the cable from Captain Sigs- bee, which had already been given out by the-Navy Department.
 Sulzer CD.) of New York asked Bou- telle if he had any information other wise that threw any light upon the cause of the disaster.
 1T must reply as I did yesterday" replied Boutelle, that I regret to say have not. But all the information at hand seems to strengthen the belief that it was due to accident"
