If her Majesty's government had received
report of the lamentable occurrence at

whether the government would endeavor to

feared John Sherman may die before many
hours. He is a passenger on the American
Line steamer Paris, which is making tour
OF the West Indies. and which arrived here
yesterday This morning Mr.. Sherman was
very weak and grew worse during the day.
He felt that his strength was declining and
expressed desire to return home at once.
Tho Paris expected to meet the cruiser Chi
cago here, but the war ship did not arrive
to-day and the Paris sailed Cor Santiago de
Cuba at D. m. Mr.. John Sherman was
then worse and is not likely to survive the
night. The Paris will probably touch first
at Guantanamo. She left instructions for
the Chicago to follow with all haste. The
hot weather has greatly weakened Mr.. Sher-
man, and his doctors feel that unless a
change for the better comes very quickly
all hope must be abandoned.

diers from Marianao, belonging TO the COM
mand of General Rodriguez, kidnapped
three former Spanish guerillas, employees of
the Toledo plantation, on Saturday and took
them into the bush where the prisoners
were maltreated and, ii is supposed, one
was killed. The other two, who were
slashed with machetes, were rescued by a
detachment of the Second Illinois Regiment.
Three of the Cubans were charged with
murder. The Cubans set fire to the plan
tation in five places on Saturday nj sht, but
Major Russell b. Harrison, the provost
marshal, and a party of horsemen put out

AN ENGINEERS DISCOVERY.
Keyboard by Which the Maine Was
Blown Up Said to Have Been Located.

CINCINNATI, O., March pa local pa
per prints a story that the location of the
keyboard by which the Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor has been found by
an American engineer officer. The story is
that Capt. T. L. Huston, of the volunteer
engineers, who entered the service from
Cincinnati and who had been assigned to
the duty of cleaning out the fortifcations
of Havana, had discovered in the gunroom
of the Quartet de Fursea, a wooden box or
hut, in which he found guttS percha tube
containing one large copper wire and sew
eral smaller wires. He also found evidence
of keyboard having been torn away.
Captain Huston had confided his discov-
cry to Mr. Warren J. Lynch, the newly
appointed general passenger agent Of the
Big Four who was visiting Havana, and
said he was about TO trace the wires 10
prove his theory that the Maine was eX
ploded from that point. The wreck OF the
vessel can be seen from this gunroom and
is not more than hundred yards distant.
The room itself was in part of the prison
to which access was only allowed to a few
officers.
HAVANA, March 20-Capt. It. L. Huston.
of the volunteer engineers, was questioned
to-day concerning the above story. The
captain said the use of his name in this
connection was not authorized. He showed
the correspondent cable with several
wires running into the harbor from the pris-
on opposite Cabanas fortress. One wire was
connected with a disued telegraph instru-
ment in a neighboring government building.
Though the cable has not been investigated
by engineers, the supposition is that it
runs to Cabanas, across the harbor, and
has been used for telegraphing. There is
remote chance that the wires in the cable
were connected with mines torpedoes.
but there is no indication that ii had any
thing TO do with the blowing up of the
Maine. The end of the cable sticking out
of Fursea prison has been seen by tourists
for weeks past. Many soldiers have also
seen the cable and have expressed the be-
lief that Ii was used to blow up the Maine.
