THE LATEST STORY.
A Cuban Tells How Spaniards Blew Up the AIniaia

Maine.
 Key West, Fla, Feb. 2.7-The latest story as to the way the Maine was blown up is contained in letter for warded by a secret Cuban club in Ha vana to J. M Govin, a Cuban insur- gent agent here. The club received it in the ordinary course of mail. It was written in English, but was signed 'Maquinista' (machinist). After a long preamble saying that the writer knew the Maine's fate was due to a Spanish plot, the letter goes on to say that in an old warehouse at Santa Cat a1ina, two hundred yards from where the Maine was moored, some diving apparatus had been hidden and that from this base two divers had worked by night and filled the torpedo holes of the Maine with dynamite cartridges, connecting them with wire to the bat tery on the land from which the car- tridges were exploded. According to the letter, the divers were to have been paid large sum, which has not been forthcoming. The Cubans in Key West say that Investigation in Havana has tended to confirm the statements of the letter, which will go before the court of inquiry. An officer of the Maine, whose attention was called to the story to-day, asserted positively that the torpedo holes of the Maine had not been open during her stay in the harbor.

itate trouble either here or in the United States. They were not eXclu- sive when on shore, and they dlned with General Lee now and again, but the wreck was always prohibited topic. It is generally expected that the court of inquiry will return here after taking testimony at Key West and it is more than possible that invis- tigation will be made by trusty agents during the courts absence.
 Senator Proctor's Visit.
 The Spaniards know that Senator Proctor is a close friend of President Mckinley and despite his disclaimer of political mission they continue to attach double importance to his visit at this juncture. Some think that he has been sent here by the president to make a report on the situation as MT. Blount was sent to Hawaii. The Spanish, who are ignorant of Ameri- can custom and political methods, can not understand why former secretary of war should come to Havana and there are many expressions of sur prise that Senator Proctor is not in uni form.
 The arrival of additional divers and diving apparatus by the Narcotic yes terday was hailed with satisfaction, but there will be more confidence when couple of big tugs, with machinery capable of lifting hundreds of tons heaves in sight. Great preparations are being made to welcome the chuiser Vizcaya. Senor Rivero, editor of La Discussion says "The general im- pression here is that the United States court of inquiry has already decided that the disaster to the Maine was the result of an accident" Of course this is mere assumption as no one can have positive knowledge on the sub- ject.

WERE PROPERLY ANNOUNCED.
Says President Lambert of Aldermen Con
 corning Committees

Says President Lambert of Aldermen Con-
 corning Committees.
 Dr. B. L. Lambert, president of the board of aldermen, returned Saturday from hunting trip in the mountains of North Carolina. In speaking last night of the question which has arisen as to the legality of his appointment of the aldermanic members of the joint committees of the court of common council, said that he considered that the committees had been properly an- nounced to the board and that there was no necessity of calling a special meeting to announce them. He called attention to the fact that at the meet ing when he was asked by a member if the committed had been announced he referred the members of the board to the newly issued city manual, a copy of which was on each desk in which was printed a list of the com mittees just appointed. President Lam- bert considers this a proper and suffi- cient announcement and says that he thinks that had Corporation Counsel Ely been informed of this fact when he was called upon for an opinion in the matter he would have decided that such announcement was sufficient. President Lambert says that the an- nouncement that a printed list of the committees was on each desk was made in his official capacity as president of the board and that if a note of it was not made in the record of the meeting, he will call the attention of City Clerk Lyon, who is clerk of the board, to the fact.
 There seems to be no doubt, however, but that the election of the councilman ic members of the joint committee was illegal, as 1t is specifically required by the charter that such committee mem- bers shall be appointed by the presi- dent of the board.

DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE
NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY ARRIVES
 ATKEY WEST.

Captain Sampson Says That All Reports Purporting to Express Opinions of the Board Are False-Sensational Stories in the "Extras" Amuse the Officers-A New Story of How the Maine Was Blown Up A Cuban Charges the Spaniards With
 Treachery.
 Key West, Fla, Feb. 27.-The mem bers of the court of inquiry into the Maine disaster arrived in this city on the lighthouse tender Mangrove to-day and will begin their work here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. It is un- derstood that the only important wit" ness examined here will be Lieutenant Blandin, the officer on the deck when the Maine explosion occurred. The tes- timony of the other survivors will take only a short time. Captain Sampson, Chaplain Chadwick and Lieutenant Commander Potter came ashore this afternoon and arranged the prelinina- ry details for the session of the court. It is expected that the investigation here will be concluded by Wednesday and that the court will then return to Havana.
 To-day to representative of the As sociated Press Captain Sampson said: We have finished our work in Cuba to a certain extent. All reports pur- porting to express our opinions are false" Asked with reference to the re- ports that the Maines fate was known I.e Prov vino explosion, Lieutenant Commander Ma rix said: ''"The stories amuse us. Of course I cannot tell you what we have found so far, but these stories (point- ing to local extra with sensational headlines) s)-why, they amuse us i1n- mensely." Lieutenant Martin Kidding, the diver, returned to Key West on the Mangroye to-day. His arrival here caused much comment, as it was said that he had talked too much in Ha- vana and had been removed in conse- < quence.
 Rear Admiral Sicard has had fre- quent conferences with Captain Samp- son and other members of the court of inquiry. He remarked tonight: T think they ought to get away by We'd nesday As yet there is nothing that can be said about their work" In re- ply to question as to the rumored re- moval of the warships to Cuba, Ad- n1iral Sicard said: "The fleet not moving and I know nothing about its going to Cuba. Still, you know, it has steam up and could go anywhere if or dered.'
 ' He was asked if anything had hap pered to justify the statement that the situation was more serious to-day than it had been. He replied '"They know at Washington about that. Just how strained our relations are with Spain I am unable to say.' The excitement yesterday over the arrival of the Gu ban filibusterers completely eclipsed all the doings and sayings of the court of inquiry officers. Their quick departure prevented very much being learned as to the expedition. An expedition has been in preparation to get away from Key West for some time, but it will probably be delayed, as their move ments have been discovered by Spanish spies.

WI11IAM M. SING GERLY DEAD.
The Philadelphia Financier and Proprie-
 tor of Isacnrd Pul,Iishinn Ca


 Philadelphia, Feb. William M. Singerly died suddenly at his residence, 1701 Locust street, this afternoon. Heart disease was the immediate cause of death. MT. Singerly had been suffering for about ten days from cold and had remained at home since last Wednesday, although his indispc- sition was in no way serious. While sitting in his bedroom smoking a cigar he was seized with violent spell of coughing and immediately afterwards fell over dead. In the room at the time were Miss Mabel Singerly Meredith and two servants. His son-in-law James Mccartney, had left few min- utes before the sudden end came, leav- ing MT. Singerly apparently in good health, apart from his slight cold.
 
 The physicians say that they had frequently cautioned MT. Singerly that his heart was weak as a result of ex- cessive smoking and of late his custom was to take "dry smoke" To-day, however, his cigar was lighted and it is thought that the smoke brought on the coughing spell. the severity of which ruptured vessel of the heart MT. Singerly leaves a daughter, Mrs. Esing Butterworth, who is at present touring Europe. Mir. Singerly was pro- prietor of the Record Publishing com pany, president of a Chestnut street national bank and the Chestnut Street Savings Fund and Trust company, which recently collapsed, and president of the Singerly pulp and paper mill. He was member of the Fairmont park commission and until lately its treasurer. and a trustee of the Phila- delphia Commercial Museum.

DE. DoUGIA~ 4NNUAL sERM0N
Preached at Trinity Church Yesterday
 Morning.

Morning.
 Rev. Dr. Douglas of Trinity Episco- pal church at yesterday mornings ser vice delivered his annual sermon. A large congregation was present. DrN Douglas complimented the choir upon it's good work and the apparent good- fellowship which existed between the members All the eyes of the diocese were on the choir to-day, he said, and all were looking to it asa model to es- tablish the proper Episcopal church music throughout the state. To assist it further in it's work he spoke of the necessity of a new chancel organ with which the congregation might safely expect even better results.
 He spoke of the noble sacrificing spfr- it which has actuated the work of the deaconesses during the year, and referred to the hold their personality had acquired upon the congregation and prayed that they would be blessed in their future labors. Dr. Douglas spoke of the gift of the memorial win- dow announced some time ago by Mrs.
 
 Boardman, and expressed the hope that her example would be followed by others, thus giving to the church a de- votional air. He also spoke of the gift of Mrs. Boardman of the land on Whit ney avenue, upon which it is contem- plated to build the church rectory. In conclusion Dr. Douglas read letter he had received from Dr. T. T. Munger of the United church, which knowl- edged the receipt. of the year book which Dr. Douglass had sent to him. In the letter Dr. Munger said that he was much pleased to see the evidences of prosperity that year book testified to, and said he wished that the Puri- tans of one hundred years ago had known better of the spirit and aim of the Episcopal church. The differences were not so bitter, and he hoped that one hundred years from now all differ- ences between them might cease.

SUNDAY MORNING FIRE.
$500 Blaze in Buchter's Saloon Yesterday
 Morning,

About 4 o'clock yesterday morning an alarm of fire was rung from box 26 at the corner of Union and Chapel streets for a fire in Buchter's saloon on Union street, between Chapel and Court. The fire caught from defec- tive flue, and during the evening MT. Buchter had noticed a smell of smoke but could discover no fire. The blaze was just back of the refrigerator over which is an opening into the flue. The chimney had just been cleaned out and little fire was started to try it. It is thought that piece of burning soot dropped out of the fue opening and smoldered behind the refrigerator during the afternoon. The loss will probably be about $500.
