1t Saves Havana From a Still Great.
er Explosion.
Havana, Feb. little Maine, at the
time Of the explosion, was at anchor
about 500 yards from the arsenal and
some 200 yards from the floating dock.
The explosion put out the street lights
near the wharf and blew down tele-
phone and telegraph wires in that vi
entity. The first explosion is said to
have been caused by over 600 pounds
Of gun cotton, and the subsequent ex-
plosion is alleged to have been caused
BY shells and cartridges.
Lieut., Wainwright, Of the Maine,
was alf-undressed at 9:45 and was
smoking in his cabin, next to that Of
Capt. Sigsbee, it is said, when the -eS-
plosion occurred and put out the cleo
trio lights. wainwright then lit asmatch
and went to Capt, Sigsbee's cabin. The
captain, it appears, had been thrown
from his bed but was uhin5ufed. They
both went on deck and gave orders to
flood $500 pounds of gun cotton which
was aboard. The order was carried
out but the men who fulfilled it never
returned. Havana, however, was
saved from a still more terrible ex-
ploSion.
