HOW THE MAINE WAS BLOWN up.

New York, Nov. 25.-From the
Worlds Havana correspondent:
Havana, Nov. l9.-Oficials of
the United States government, after
months of secret investigation,
have discovered the explosive used
in blowing up the warship Maine
in Havana harbor, on Feb. IS, 1898.
1t was gun cotton.
Seven hundred pounds of it were
used. The gun cotton was the prop
erty of the Spanish government.
1t was sent from Barcelona to
Admiral Manterola, the admiral
commanding the port of Havana, a
month before the destruction of
the Maine. Six cases, each contain
ing $50 pounds of gun cotton, were
received at Havana. The contents
of two of the boxes, 700 pounds,
were either stolen from the mag
azine, where the stuff was stored,
or taken away, with the knowledge
of the officials in charge.
Admiral Manterola's records will
undoubtedly show the names of his
subordinates, who had direct con-
troll of the explosives.
The government at Washington
has been or soon will be in posses
sion of oil the facts relating to the
new discoveries. 1t will probably
solicit the assistance of the Spanish
government in securing the punish
ment of the authors Of the crime.
The evidence that has come into
the possession Of the United States
officials in Havana is substantial
and conclusive. Commander Lucien
Young, United States navy captain
of the port of Havana, made the
first discovery month ago.
In exploring the buildings sour
rounding the harbor, and formerly
used by the Spanish naval forces.
Commander Young came across six
cases used for shipping explosives.
Two of the cases were empty. This
discovery, with other facts which
the officers of the United States
secret service have learned, con-
firms the declaration made by
Captain Sigsbee, that the Maine was
blown mp from the outside.
Newly discovered evidence fur
ther shows that the destruction of
the Maine was accomplished by the
use of torpedoes charged with gun
cotton and exploded by contact
with the keel of the warship.
Two or three men were engaged
in the destruction Of the Maine. A
steam launch of Spanish make,
and now used by the United States
government in Havana harbor,
conveyed the two torpedoes, accord
ing to the new evidence, to point
within q few feet of the berth Of
the Maine and anchored them. The
torpedoes were kept in position by
means Of buoys floated II feet under
water and 10 feet above the anchors
used to prevent them from being
swept away. Time and tide did the
rest.
No Spanish official is believed to
have been in the plot. 1t is though
to be the work of men who either
stole the gun cotton or secured it

A RECORD or INlOUITY.
Remarkable Admissions by Those Whose
Millions and Maids Control the Great
Trade Interests Of the Country.

ManV COnleSSlOnS as 10 Ine In
iquity of trusts have been obtained
by the United States Industrial
Commission from men high in the
councils of corporate combinations.
Others who have been in the trusts
and have severed their relations
with them have given startling in
side facts. The Commission has
succeeded in forcing from witnesses
admissions that have largely added
to the information on commercial
Capitalization of interests and
capital. Here are some of these ad-
missions:

Steel rails were exported at the
time the steel schedule was under
discussion and about being voted
for, to England, where they can be
produced at $15 a ton. Here they

ton, and that is because the people,
under the tariff, are mulcted the

Hundreds of thousands of work

eliminated by the formation of in

their enormous capitalization, and
this can only be done by curtailing
the expense to the lowest possible

commodities up to the highest notch

basic principle of all trusts.

Tell The Truth.

The truth about the State e.
nances is easily learned, but it
seems that Republican leaders
and radical newspapers do not
care TO learn or tell it.
No money can be paid out
from the State Treasury until
it has been duly appropriated
by the General Assembly. 1t
can then only be paid from the
particular fund trem which the
appropriation is made. There
may be--as there is at present
two million dollars in the
State Treasury and yet, if
there happens to be a ten.
porary shortage in some special
fund, warrants against that
fund can not legally be paid.
until that fund is replenished.
This does not imply the least
misappropriation or extrava.
gance. Indeed, it means ex-
actly the opposite.
Another point regarding the
revenues and expenses of the
State should not be overlooked.
Under the constitution when the
Valuation of the property in
Missouri reached 5000, 900. 900,
the tax rate was reduced from
20 to 15 cents on the S1OO val
aution. This reduction in the
rate of course decreased the
revenue, While this was true.
at the same time by legislative
enactment the amount appro-
priated to public schools was
increased from one fourth to
one-third of the reveuue-a to-
tai of $3.50, ZOO. Then the State
maintains three insane asylumS.
two reforms schools, two sol
diers' home and other institu.
tions, which were not in exist.
ence ten or fifteen years ago.
Morever, with the growth OF
the State other expenses OF
government necessarily in.
crease. All these facts should
be borne in mind, They dem
onstrate the truth that there
has been neither dishonesty. ex.
travagauCe or maladmlnistra,
ton. They prove conclusive.
ly that while revenue measures
must be enacted by the State
Legislature, it is not because OF
Democratic inefficiency but the
very contrary.
Is it too much to expect that
the Democratic press Of the
State will tell the whole truth
about this matter? Only in
this way can Missouri's good
name be protected against po-
litical foes, who would. for par.
tisau ends, attempt to befonl
their own home. State Tribune.
