remain in session here. 1t all depends
upon the testimony and new features
requiring further investigation may de-
velop at any time. He added that.
sooner or later, every survivor of the
Maine will be examined by the court,
which seems to imply that sessions for
that purpose will be held at Key West.
Although this information is meager.
it is absolutely all Capt. Sampson will
give to the press. The correspondent
Of the Associated Press sees him by
appointment twice daily, but there is
a rigid rule to observe silence until the
facts in the case have developed
through the testimony presented.
Capt. Sigsbee is panied by the COM
ments on his conduct while the Maine
was afioat. made by some of the pa
pers here, pur 1t is pointed out that
such papers are not of the better class.
The captain has been so universally
courteous and IS apparently SO popular
with all that it is surprising that any
of the papers of Havana should seek
To do him injustice.

Liverpool, Feb. 27.-Senor Dupuy de
LONE. who arrived on board the White
Star line steamship Britannia, is quot
ed as saying: II have decided not to
speak on the subject Of my letter to
Senior Canalejas. can say, however,
that l have been a victim of misrepre-
sentation from the first. The news
published in the American papers and
sent to this country and my own was.
from beginning to end, made up Of
lies of the most infamous character
The allegations in the American pa
pers that the terrible explosion on the
Maine was the outcome of Spanish
conspiracy is, in my opinion. another
instance of the reckless manner in
which newspapers in America work

ACCIDENT THEORY EXPLODED.
Forward Keel of the Maine Stove
UDN ard,

Upward.
New York, Feb. 26-The Havana
correspondent of the Herald says: In
the light of discovery made yesterday
and this morning, there is no longer
any reason to doubt that the explosion
which wreckad the Maine came from
underneath the vessel, and that her
magazines had nothing to do with the
initial explosion and played much
smaller part in the general disaster
than was at first supposed. l can say
it as coming direct to me from source
as authentic as any that. exists here,
that before the important discovery re-
ferred to was laid before the court, the
one member who was inclined to give
the accident theory the benefit of the
doubt has wholly abandoned the view
that the initial eplosion came from in
site the ship.
The evidence that has served to con-
vince the board was obtained by En-
sign Powelson an officer attached to
the Fern. Mr.. POwelson was formerly
in the construction corps and took a
two-year special course in the Glas-
gov School Of Naval architecture. He
is therefore competent witness. What
he discovered was that the forward
! part of the keel of the Maine, with its
ribs and plates. was stove upward so
far that I:,rts of the shattered double
! bottom show out of the water, and in
places sections Of the green painted
outer hull are visible. The lips of the
navy officers here have been sealed by
one of the most stringent and per-
emptory orders ever issued by the navy
department, and by which they are
commanded to give no information to
any one regarding this investigation.
