MAINE MYSTERY
I REVIVED AGAIN
Was il an Accident or Was il
a Conspiracy?
Accident To Warship Georgia Recalls
the Beginning of Our War
With Spain
NEW VIEW Is TAKING HOLD

Washington. d. c., July iS.- The
shocking explosion on the battleship
Georgia has recalled the never end
ing topic OF discussion which Is a
fami lar one to this day with naval
experts Il concerns the blowing up
of the batileship Maine in the harbor
.of Havana in the spring OF 1898.
Every time there is an explosion
OF any magnitude on an American
warship naval experts invariably
hark back TO the Maine and discuss
that disaster in the light OF recent
experience No man knows how the
Maine was blown up. Probably no
man ever will know.
Il is Just ths mystery which has
east suspicion on the theory that the
ship was destroyed by Spanards and
which Is causing more than one ma
men. to believe that after all the
explosion OF the Maine was the result
of an accident, so that the incident
which did so much to bring on the
Spanish war may have been the re-
suit afteg-,al of natural forces and
not Of maiite.
There Issa long list OF disasters
on American battleships. In almost
no case Hasttrere been shown gross
careessness, Electric wiring has been
found defclspt. powder has been ex-
ploded apparently spontaneously.
boilers have "let go". and there have
been dozen different well defined
causes which produced ghasuy ex-
plosions. The accidents have come so
steadily as 10 give rise to generally
expressed opinion that a big battle
ship or cruiser stored with explo-
slves and built for aghtlng rather
than for mere storage Is nothing
more nor less than a powder maga-
zine which may be touched on AZ
any moment by the slightest accl-
dent or the breaking of a single link
In the chain OF precautionary de-
vices.
Probably the strongest argument
In favor OF an accidental explosion
on the Maine Is the fact that no time
since then has there been the slight
est clew 20 the man OF men who.are
supposed 10 have discharged the SUBJ
marine mine. VI the destruction Of

IL a fact. however. that the Maine
as Il fioated in the harbor OF Ha-
yana could not possibly have been

and requiring for its execution the
service of a number of skilled men.

Louis Castrani was a guest in the

two gentlemen had become friends,
warmly attached to each other, and
Mrs. .Trevlyn could not help fretting
over the unfortunate condition of her

she spent most Of her time, and where

the most sorely afflicted woman in the

to give her any consolation.

She had been beautiful orphan,
adopted by his parents. and brought
up almost as his sister.
