 SENT NORTH Five Men of the Maine Sail on the Tampa for
 New York.
Liberality of-the Seanen of the Fleet in Aiding Families
 of Victims.
All of the Enlisted Men of the Lost Ship Win Probably Be Given
 Leave of Absence.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

KEY WEST, March 5.-The Mallory steamer Tampa, which sailed for New York to-day, has on board five surviv- ors of the Maine.

 A subscription has been raised throughout the fleet for the relief of the families of the victims of the Maine disaster. Every enlisted man on board the cruiser New York has given $5 out of his months pay in spite of the en- deavors to limit the subscription to $2. The men say they fear the Congression- al appropriation will be some time in reaching the families of the dead of the Maine.
 The Marblehead, Montgomery, New York, Detroit and Nashville, in the harbor, have each received a con tingent of the Maines survivors, while the Texas and the Indiana, at Tortu- gas, have also added few survivors of the disaster to their muster roll
 Forty men in all were distributed among the feet The Maine's officers and men hoped that they would be assigned to one ship. The new kits for the survivors were provided for them at the naval station.
 There are fifteen of the Maines en- listed men still here, and 1t is said all of them will be able to report for duty within two weeks. It was learned later to-day that orders for a months leave of absence for all the Maine'S officers, excepting Lieutenant Holman and Lieu tenant Caldin, have reached Admiral Sicard, but they are held pending the pleasure of the Naval Court of In- quiry Lieutenant Holman, the senior officer, will stay here. it is said, until all of the Maine's enlisted men have been distributed.

WORK ON MONITORS
 AT LEAGUE ISLAND.
Eight Old Fighters That Will Be Made Ready for Active Service
 in Case of War.

PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-Work was begun to-day on the old monitors which for years have been lying at the League Island Navy Yard. There are eight of these old fighters-the Nahant, Lehigh, Jason. Montauk and Catskill, each of S75 tons displacement, and the Canonicus, Mahopac and Manhattan of 2100 tons displacement. Men were placed at work in the interior of the monitors. The machinery of the ves- sels will need but little attention.
 It Is said that the monitors will be hauled out into the main channel, so that it can be ascertained just how they will respond to the working of their machinery. While this test is being made the turrets will be turned and the guns put in operation. In the turret of each monitor are two 15-inch smooth-bore guns, capable of throw ing a 500-pound projectile.

It will be recalled that the Spanish ship was said to have shifted her position before the explosion. This covers most significant detail in the light of to-day's revelations.
 The writer does not state by what method he traced the passage of the torpedo through the water and the direction from which it came, but his friends here say he certainly would not have written them in this cir cumstantial manner unless he had confidence in his evidence.

So many remedies failed. she lost faith in medicines. But one day I read of a cure of similar case by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and persuaded mother to try this medi- cine. We were greatly gratified to notice improvement before she had finished the first bottle. She was able to retain food, and her headaches were less. She took in all four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla, with Hoods Pills occasionally, and is now in the best of health. Her digestion is good; she can eat almost anything, and says she feels as we'll as when she was IS.

By a.Letter which LieLt. CarranZa Wrote
to n Friend.
Washington, June 6.-Steps have been
taken by which it Is expected that
Lieutenant Carranza. who has conduct

former first secretary Of the Spanish
legation here, will be expelled from
Canada within the next few days un-
less they adopt their own means to
leave before an international question
is raised as to their presena in Canada
The Carranza letter referring to his
spy system was communicated to the
British ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, together with all other information
bearing on the operations of the Span-
fsh officials in Canada. The ambassador
was quick to act in the matter, and
without waiting the slow process of the
mail cabled the entire matter to the
foreign office. No doubt Is entertained
as to the speedy action of the authori-
ties at London, now that a specific case
has been made out against the Spanish
officials in Canada.
The letter referred to above was

Tampa The Americans are showing
| the most extraordinary vigilance. I do
not wish to remain here without taking
an active part in the war, and / desire
duty in which l can take the initiative
and do something" The lieutenant
shows himself well posted as to Ameri-
can intentions, for he predicted the
closing of some Cuban harbor by the
sinking Of ship there.
The letter seals the fate of the Span-
ish bureau Of information" in Canada
The British would have taken the ini-
i. tiative ere this had there been anything
more than suspicion as to the opera
. tions Of Carranza and Du Bose. But
the Carranza letter was proof positive,
; and the British officials moved quickly
and on their own volition toward Sc
curing adequate redress. 1t is expected
that Lord Salisbury viii call the atten-
ton Of the Spanish government to the
undesirability of having Carranza and
Du Bose remain in Canada longer. az
their operations are so obviously hostile
!. to the United States. This, however
may become unnecessary If the Spanish
fofiicials withdraw from Canada at once

of Canada, have specific provision
