TEE RECK
OF THE MAINE
AND THE STORY OF A MAINE
WoMAN's DREAM.

The wreck OF the battleship Maine
still protrudes above the water i'm
the busiest part OF the harbor OF Ha-
Vana. and is not only an eyesore but
an obstruction of navigation AZ n
grievous reminder of one of the most
lamentable tragedies in history. Ii
has remained in that way for nine
years up to the 10th OF February.
and although two contracts for its
removal have been made, neither has
been carried out. and 1t must remain
until the government of the United
States removes Il, because the Cubans
have neither the skill nor the enter
prise nor the facilities for doing So.
The wreck lies in six fathoms OF wa
ter and has gradually settled into the
mud and filth which has accumulated
on the bottom OF the bay from the
sewage OF nearly four centuries. No
accident has yet happened, but the
wreck is continual peril to naviga-
ton. The passenger ships from New
York. New Orleans. Mexico and Flor
ida anchor Immediately around It.
There have been many theories in
regard TO the cause of the expIo-
sion. and the subject has been prob
ably discussed more i'm Havana thar
anywhere else. Every atom OF light
that could be thrown upon the mys-
terry and every clew to it's cause has
been investigated and discussed over
and over until public opinion here
has now practically determined that
the tragedy was due not to a torpedo
or any other external cause. but to
the explosion OF the powder in tho
forward magazine OF the ship, caused
by heat from spontaneous combustion
in the coal bunkers. This conclusion
is said to have been strongly sup
ported by the survey of the contrac-
tors who undertook TO raise the
wreck. Their divers made very diff
ferent reports from those given to
the court OF inquiry shortly after the
tragedy, and maintain that almost all
the damage is found in the forward
part OF the ship in the neighborhood
Of the magazine; that there are un-
mistakable evidences OF a hot fire in
the coal bunkers Immediately next
to the magazine, with nothing but
sheet of iron one-fourth OF an inch
thick between the fire and the pow
der.
This. of course, is not conclusive
II is only theory. but the contrac-
tors declare that they can demon
strate its truth If they are allowed TO
use dynamite to seperate the ma
chinery and other heavy material so
as to hoist it to the surface of the
water and place It on lighters They
insist, too, that the reason why the

navy department opposes the removal
nj the wreck is its fear of disagreea-
Die disclosures. They recall the fact
that while the peace commission was
sitting in Paris the Spanish govern
ment demanded an International in
yestigation OF the cause of the explo-
sion. which the United States would
not permit on the pretext that II
was ineNpedient and unnecessary to
revive the discussion. The advocates
Of the accidental theory remind YOU
OF several cases of spontaneous COM
huston i'm the bnnkers OF United
States naval vessels. and refer TO the
suicide OF the officer who had charge
IF the forward magazine on the
Maine. They declare that the reas-
ons given in the newspapers for his
suicide are not sufficient.
There is a curious story connected
with the explosion of the Maine
which has held considerable weight
With superstitious people. and also
With hard-headed. practical. sensible
men, like Senator Frye. Admiral
Bradford and others from the state
of Maine. who know the character
and antecedents OF the wife OF n
druggist in The city of Lewiston. who
saw the tragedy rehearsed i'm a dream
the night that it occurred She is
not a professional clairyoyant: she
does not pretend to possess super
natural powers. but has foretold local
events in that community in a most
extraordinary manner. until the peo-
pie credit her with the gift OF divina-
lion and the power OF prophecy
This woman never saw battle
ship she never saw fortress: she
was never I'm Havana. nor had she
ever read a description OF the harbor
or surroundings of that city. She
was entirely ignorant OF the exis-
tence OF the battleship Maine: she
was not aware that any vessel OF the
United States navy was at Havana.
but upon awakening one morning she
told her husband what she had seen
in dream. He was so much impress
ed that after breakfast he stopped i'm
the office OF one of the most reputa-
BILE lawyers of the city, who returned
with him TO his house and heard the
woman repeat her story She describ-
ed the harbor of Havana. the Cabanas
fortress and the anchorage OF the
Maine with great detail, and she
said that she saw two men in the
uniform of Spanish officers. which
she described although she had new
ar seen It in her life, hold heated
controversy I'm a small room i'm the
fortress, where an electric switch
board, like that i'm the telephone

ed with wires that ran down into the
water to floating torepdoes. which
she also infinitely described. After

Will Prospect.

The William brothers, who were among the pioneers of Arizona, are now on their way to Yuma from Her mosillo, Mexico. Upon their arrival here the brothers, who are accompan- jed by Mr Dickerman, will make final arrangements for a prospecting trip into the northern part of the county, wEe~e they will inspect the Brysop. Cowell and Despair properties, say 8 the Yuma Sun.
 They will be accompanied on the trip by Charles Meadows and w. H |. Buck, and after their return from the north they will travel through the southern part of the territory, finally going to the coast of the Gulf of Cal ifornia and making a trip to the famous Tiburon islands.
 The outfit for the trip, consisting of three wagons and eight mules, was brought to Yuma overland from the San Joaquin valley in California. where the William brothers own an immensely valuable stock ranch. The brothers have recently sold the Monte Cristo mine in Washing gton and city franchises they held in Seattle, and are multi m Ill onaires.

The Great Bisness of Texas.

Texas is the biggest state in the know. The upper part of the Pan handle of Texas is nearer to Chicago than it Is to Galveston. Texas Is wide as the distance from Chicago to Boston, or from St. Louis to Now York City. That is to say that from Texarkana to Fl Paso it is HOO miles. Texas has 3,O0O,OOO folks. lO,OOO,OOO cattle, 12,O00,0O0 sheep and 1000, ,O0O horses. One horse, you see, for every man, woman and child in the state. People who have not seen the southwest during the past five years cannot by any description realize its progress. What is known as the .E'Santa Fe country" can feed the world. Six years ago you could buy in Texas 1000 sheep for $l.000 Now l 1000 sheep will cost you sS.OOO. The real crop in Texas, however. is in Texas for the year 1906 was worth over $200, ,OOO, 900 in cold cash. They raise a bale of cotton on an acre, and A bale of cotton is worth $60.
 Texas has the second most i'm portant shipping port in America. and if things continue goin! as they have for the past five years, in ten years more ,e shipments from Gal weston will exceed in value the combined exports of Boston and Ne" York Ebert Hubbard in the Phi listipe.

Tucson Looks Good to Mir Titcomb.

"You haze a city here," said Ed ward Titcomb, of the E. Titcomb o.. successors to Roy & Titcomb of No gales, yesterday, at the Santa Rita while he was waiting to take No. 9 on a run to Los Angeles. says the Tue son Star:
 Mir. Titcomb is not a stranger in this city He has been here often, married the daughter of former Tucsonian, who is now dead-George Christ, ex-U. $. surveyor general of Arizona. Mir. Titcomb observed more this time than he has done on the oc- casion of previous visits. He was willing to admit that Tucson was somewhat larger than Douglas, where the Titcomb Go. have business in- terests.
 Speaking of Douglas, Mir. Titcomb said the Shattuck-Arizona Go. of Bis bee were about to install a snelting plant at the former point and added that the Copper Queen Go. (Phelphs, Dodge Go and the Calumet & Ari- zone employed TOO men on each of three daily shifts-the two concerns which means the employ ment of 2lCO men at the two smeltiug 2 plants He added that all the up to- date conveniences, such as street rail- ways, electric light, water supply, city council etc, were to be found in Douglas. The Sl5O,OO Gadsen Hotel was we'll under way toward completion in September next.
 Asked about Nogales, Mir. Titcomb said new sidewalks are to be laid and other improvements are in sight. The Schuckmann Cigar Go. employees over 60 persons and that Nogales is enjoy ing increased trade in view of the building operations south of Guay- mas.
 Asked about the Christ family, Mir. Titcomb said the elder Mrs. Christ recently returned from Los Angeles to visit the Titcombs. Mrs. Kingsley, who was Kate Christ. is with her husband in Guaymas. where Mir. K. represents the Titcomb Go. Mrs. Nourse, former Miss Christ, is i'll Southern California and George Christ.
