I..REMEMBER THE MAINE.
Capt. SiKsbee Denies That the Navy
Used Thi' Motto on the
Warships.

Capt Sigsbee, writing Of the destruc-
ton of his battleship. denies that ''Re-
member the Maine!" was used as a
motto by the navy in the late wal, with
Spain. lie also indicates perfectly
proper use of the phrase by patriotc
Americans. He says:
I'VE have heard much Of the motto:
'Rememb Der the Maine IT we are
satisfied that the Maine was blown up
from the outside we have a right to
remember her with indignation; but
without more conclusive evidence than
we now have. we are not right if we
charge criminality to persons. There
fore I conceive that the motto: Re-
member the Maine used as a war cry
would not have been justifiable.
| have made j, elsewhere, that this
great and free country, with its educa-
ton, good intention and universal
moral influence. may go to war to pun
ish. but not to revenge, Improperly
applied, the motto: Remember the
Maine savors too much of revenge,
too much Of evil for evil but it may
be used in an entirely worthy sense.
During the recent war with Spain
about - men were killed and wounded
in the United States navy. Only Is
were killed. On board the Maine 254
men were killed outright and others
died later-more than Il times as many
as were killed in the United States
navy by the Spanish land and naval
forces during the emire war. In the
way that the men of the Maine died
and suffered there was enough of the
heroic TO provide sound foundation
for the motto: Remember the Maine.
Let me dismiss the prevailing impress
sion that this motto was used in the
United States navy, in the recent war,
as battle-signal. No United States
naval vessel has entered into action
flying the signal: Remember the
Maine | am glad that it can be so
stated; yet one may excuse many mis-
taken expressions of the heat Of ac-
ton"
1t may be said on the authority of
Capt. John R. Bartlett, during the war
chief intelligence officer of the navy:
The signal, Remember the Maine,
has never been displayed on a United
States man-of-war or by the army or
navy. with one exception. A signal
quartermaster (an enlisted man) of the
coast signal service hoisted the signal
from the station at Port Eads, at the
mouth of the Mississippi, when trans,
port loaded with troops was passing
out to sea. In reporting the passing
out of the transport. as was his duty
the quartermaster added to his mes
sage to headquarters the fact of dis
play Of signal, which was received with
great enthusiasm by the troops. He
was severely reprimanded by return
message over the wires. Century.

Minneapolis Lumberman, June p:
Heavy rains at and about Little Falls
land Brainerd have raised the river
aboutnin inches since Tuesday. For
ten days before that date the river had !.
fellen q total of about q foot, but
this brings it up again to a good
driving stage. All the upper tribu-
taries OF the rivers report a good
fall of rain and a good driving stage
OF water, with drives coming on In
good shape. Sluicing of $780, 200. 900
feet OF logs is going on at the Win
nebigoshish dam, and drives on the
Prairie, the Swan, the Pine, and
other tributaries is going on salts
factorily. { Even the Crow Wing
sdriveis coming on we'll in spite OF
the blowing up OF the main dam by
enraged farmers. 1t is believed that
the drive OF 25,OOO,OOO feet on that
river will come out in good time in
spite ofshindrances that were expect
ed to hang up most OF the logs till
another year Wednesday night
the first drive OF $4,000, 900 feet of logs
came into the Minneapolis boom
limits. This was made from Brain
erd. About 25 per cent of this logs
are destined for down river mills. so
that the supply for these city is not
as large as might have been wished.
However, while there is some fear Of
a gap in the log supply here, the
boom company do not think that
there will be any lack of logs if the
water holds out as it promises.
Some of the mills are now running
short of logs while others are re-
ceiving SO many as to make it neces-
sary to add an hour each to the
working time OF both night and day
shifts. The Smith and the Carpen-
ter-Lamb mills are the ones that
have added thus to their working
time this week, each running % hours
out of "a. The Nelson-Tuthill mills
laid Off their night crews Wednes-
day for the present, and until they
shall have a full supply of logs. ~
