having exploded, the other full of pow
der. These We're found forward.
The work of securing the bodies un-
der the hatch has been most difficult
in the dark, but it is hoped that the
electric lights will be of great assist
ance. The bodies are much mutilated
and some partially burned.
Among the salvage were the table
ware and silver service belonging to the
Maine.
Gunner Charles Morgan of the cruis-
er New York, who is in charge of the
divers, will devote special attention to
examining the ammunition in the fore
part of the Names null and to ascer-
tain the condition of the plates, maga-
zines and engineers. He is a graduate
on gunnery and is regarded as entirely
competent as indeed are all the divers
under his direction. He is under strict
orders not TO give out anything on the
subject of his Investigations, except to
the officers of the court of inquiry, when
called upon.

Statement That Nothing Had
Been Found to Indicate EX-
plOsiOn of the Magazines
Seems to Be Feri-
fed.

New York, Feb. pa dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: The furth-
er the inquiry into the causes that led
to the Maine disaster proceeds, the
more remote appear the chances that
any evidence will be discovered to show
that the disaster was due to accident.
Those divers who penetrated into the
forward part of the wreck found that
the whole forward end of the ship from
a point just abaft the forward turret
had been twisted fifteen or twenty de-
grees starboard. That part of the YES
sci was a wilderness of debris and
rurled and twisted plates.
The sharp Jagged edges of some Of
the plates added danger to the difficult
les of the divers, getting life lines into
a tangIe and fraying the cords. In
one instance they almost cut through
a rubber tube which supplied diver
with air
One important discovery made was
the position of the bodies found in the
wreck, one hundred of which were
ahoat about the torn compartments. A
fun score of these We're examined by
my informant. All of these bodies were
in hammOcks and all had the arms
curved upward. They looked as if the
men had been startled by some sudden
shock of danger and were in the act of
reaching up for their hammock hooks
to swing themselves on deck when
death came.
This seems to confirm what has al
ready been said about there having
been two explosions-the first startling
the men into the act of raising from
their hammocks, the other dashing the
life out of them while they were in that
position.
Before the explosion the 1O-inch mag
azine was located on the starboard side
forward and beneath the forward tur-
ret What is left of the magazine
seems to have been driven toward the
port bow in a diagonal and upward di-
rection.
The 6-inch magazine. which had its
location in the port side of the ship for
ward was hurled in a direction directly
opposite to that Of the 10-inch maga-
zlne. one of the copper cylindrical
tanks for the 6-inch magazine was
found by the divers in the wreck of that
structure. 1t contained no powder
charge.
Inc 4V-lnch magazine has not been
closely examined at this writing. but
such inspection of it as was made leads
to the belief that big pile of twisted
Wreckage that lies about the top of it
as composed of UnexpIoded 10-inch
charges.
The theory of the two explosions is
borne out by the testimony of Senior
Antonio CabelerO, a tobacco dealer of
havana SenOr Cabalero was crossing
the bay in a ferry boat at the time Of
the disaster. He was familiar with the
MAINE, having paid several visits to
that craft and was pointing out to a
SIoup o! friends on the ferry boat her
peculiarities. There came lust At that
instant, he says, a duh report from the

head of the stairs. But few people
were in the han, and there was no rush
for seats. The commander-in-chief Of
the Nebraska buttermakers halted his

in true college spirit, made things hum

cruiser MarbIehead weighed anchor at
lilo today and sailed for Key West.where
she will join the North Atlantic squadron
a Dry TOrtugas. The Marblehead took
aboard her a small quantity of coal
An immense crowd assembled the
river front as the Marblehead pulled uD
her mudhOOks and steamed half mile up
the river before turning. As the vessel
sped rapidly down the river past the
French and Austrian warships, hundreds
waved handkerchiefs in farewell. all the
vessels in the harbor footed their whistles,
cannon were, fired, from shore and the for
parture of the ship was without incident
and created no stir among the officers and
crew. as her only business here was to
honor the city at carnival time.
Galveston, Tex, Feb. Z3.-The battle
ship Texas and gunboat Nashville sailed iI
from Galveston this afternoon. The
Texas goes to rejoin Admiral Sicard's 5
fleet and the Nashville to Key West for
orders. It has been reported that the
Nashville would be sent to Key West to
replace the Maine, but if Captain May
nard has any such orders he has given no
hint of it here.

Story of Cuban Suffering Told in the
Senate But Nothing is Done.

washington Feb. 23.-Cuba usurped
the place of Hawaii in the executive
proceedings of the senate yesterday,
and was under consideration for an
hour or more. The proceeding was
based upon a document presented by
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, as the
result of an Interview between himself
and Mr.. Koop of Boston, Mass. In pre-
senting the document Senator Morgan
said that Mr.. Koop was a capitalist
who had but recently returned from
Cuba after a most exhaustive explora-
ton of the island
Senator Morgan laid considerab BILE
stress upon the Importance of the doc
unaent which resulted from a stenOg
raphic report of the interview between
Senator Morgan and Mr.. Koop. The
document consisted of questions by
Senator Morgan and replies by Mr..
KoOp.
The latter said that he had been in
AZ provinces and had spent more or less
time in each of them in the prosecution
of his inquiries. In no place outside of
Havana, he said, was any effort made
to take care of the reconcentrados, and
he declared that the people were dying
in great numbers in all places in which
they had been collected together b. the

Will RAISE PRICES.
That is to Be the First Act of the New
Coal Trust.

Detroit, Feb. 23.-The Ohio Coal trust
was perfected here today under the
name of central Coal and Coke cOmpa-
ny. It is incorporated under the laws
of Ohio and its headquarters viii be
Columbus. The capital stock is 100000
but this is a nominal figure, and the
real capitalization is not yet known.
1t is understood that prices will be
raised and that the coal carrying roads
in Ohio will be allowed an increase in
rates after the settlement of the pro-
posed strike of miners in eastern Ohio,
which is scheduled for April 1.
The strike was decided on at the re-
cent convention of the Pennsylvania
Miners association held in Pittsburg.
1t will include the West Virginia Mary
land and eastern Ohio fields and the en-
tire district shipping to the Atlantic
seaboard as well as the Hooking Valley
and West Virginia districts will be af-
fected. It is estimated that $4,000 min
ers will be ordered out.
The trust will be fought for some time
by several companies still on the out
side. These companies, which operate
several good fields through Ohio have
been offered terms on which to enter
the trust, but they consider them not
sufficient.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Opened Weak, But Took An
Upward Turn.

Chicago, Sept. 12-Lower Liverpool ca
bles, big receipts in the northwest and
the increase in the worlds shipments
especially the increase in the shipments
from Russia, which seemed to diScredit
the reported crop disaster in that coun-
try, started wheat a trifle lower. The
corn market was also weak and had a de-
pressing influence on wheat. Trade was
dull and longs liquidated freely from the
start, with a good sDrinkling of selling
orders from the outside. Later, however,
il was found that the northwest markets
were holding strong and higher, in spite
of big receipts there, and that both cash
and futures were advancing.
That, together with light speculative Of
ferings here, alarmed the early sellers,
a time, which turned prices upward. Sta
tistical news was very bullish and was
largely instrumental in keeping the price
on the advance as it came to the knowl-
edge of the traders. The close was &c
higher for September, and December rose
12q5s.
Warm weather, large receipts and an
increase in the visible supply weakened
corn. The government report Was also
a disappointment to the bulls. The pit
was very bearish and there were lew
buyers on hand to take the offerings. The
close was sc lower on the day.
Oats held firm under good demand for
September from shippers. Trade was
quite active May gained &c
