DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
Naval Officers Theory as to the Dis
aster in Havana Harbor.

oSNNl III ll0Naiid MAJ
The Maine was destroyed by the ex-
plosion Of a mine, and this mine was
probably an improvised affair, a wine
cask with about 200 pounds of ordi-
mar g%unpowder and buoyant, fitted
with any kind of a mechanical contact
fuse, a bottle of sulphuric or other
strong acid, arranged so that when
struck by a vessel the acid would ig-
mite and explode the mine. This cask
could have been fitted with a chain
and anchor 50 that the mine would
float 10 feet above the bottom and 20
feet below the surface of the water.
| believe that doubtless such a mine
had been placed about 80 feet ahead of
the Maine, then lying at the buoy, rid
ing to the trade winds, as usual in that
harbor, so that when the ship should
swing, she would strike the contact
mine and blow herself up. The Maine
was in the act of swinging at the time
she was destroyed. The p%lausibility
of this is confirmed by all the circum-
stances of the time and place. The
trade winds prevail in the harbor Of
Havana, and ships head to the wind;
but the trade winds fail once in every
four or six weeks, and ships that had
been heading northeast swing around
and head southwest. Such was the
case that evening in Havana.
In our Civil War the Co%nfederates
destroyed more vessels of the Union
navy by just such improvised mines
than they destroyed by g%unfire, and
history shows that up to the Spanish
war there had been more ships de-
stroyed by t%orpedoes and mines, since
their invention, than by guns. Any
one with a smattering knowledge of
these facts could have rugged such a
mine and fitted it with anchor, or
stone to serve as anchor, and could
have placed it at proper depth and
position ahead of the Maine without
having been observed by those on
board.
Merchant vessels did not go along
side wharyes in Havana, but anchored
southeast of the wharves. Cargoes
were transferred to and from mer-
chant ships by large lighters that
sailed across the bay. The Maine and
other men-of-war lay at buOys in po-
sition, so that these lighters passed
constantly day and night right across
their bows, and one man could easily
have sailed his lighter with his mine
from the shore across the bows of the
men-of-war until directly ahead of
the Maine, when he could have dropped
the whole affair and have left it there
to do its work when the Maine should
swing around to head southwest. The
Century.

AGED PAUPERS MAKE
SUICIDE AGREEMENT
Inmates of Home in Chicago, Facing
Destitution, Agree to End
Their Own
Lives
g. Associated Press.

e. Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 20.-A suicide pact
involving probably a dozen inmates of
Bethesda home for the aged is believed
to have been revealed by the death of
John Koch, who died yesterday by his
own hand after ridiculing John Hazel
bach, who failed in an attempt at self
destruction,
The supposed motive is bankruptcy
of the home, a private institution, into
which many of the old folks, friendless
and alone in the world, had placed their
savings of a life time, expecting to be
cared for till death.
AS a result of the bankruptcy the
aged inmates are face to face with
destitution. Mrs. Mary Mann, matron
of the home, is convinced that poison
bottle" was passed by Koch to some
one else in the compact whose identity
may be disclosed only by another case
of suicide.
Mrs Emma Bausch, one of the super
yisors of the home, predicts a number
of additional suicides, although she has
dissuaded three that had avowed such
a purpose. Koch, who was 6S years of
age, paid 5000 to the home. Others of
the twenty-on inmates paid into the
institution as high as $4,000 each.
Some of the most helpless of the old
people at the home have been taken
away and provided for by the Little
Sisters of the Poor.

BOSTON, March 20.-The condition
of Governor Curtis Guild remained ex-
tremely critical tonight, though there
has been no actual change since last
evening. DR.. Frederick B. Winslow
stated the governors condition remains
unchanged and that he was holding
his own well.
A feeling of gloom pervaded the state
house all day, and it was evident that
the officials who have visited Governor
Guilds residence shared in the general
depression.
1t was freely admitted Governor
Guilds condition had reached a stage
where it was a question of life or death,
with the chances apparently against
his recovery.
Numerous attempts to gain definite
information from the physicians of the
exact nature of the disease proved un-
availng today. From outside sources,
however, it was said the governor had
infiammatory rheumatism and was suf-
fering from uremia and endocarditis,
the latter being an Inflammation of the
membranous lining of the cavities of
the heart.
This afternoon the police closed to
traffic that part of Marlborough street
on which the Guild residence is located,
so that the noise of teams would not
reach the governors chamber.
Prayers for the recovery of the chief
executive were offered by the chap
lains of the senate and house, and in
several of the churches today.

REINSTATEMENT OF TWELVE
is REFUSED
Governing Board Continues Investiea-
tion of Recent Disturbance-AII
Connected with Affair May
Be Dropped

By Associated Press.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March
20.-Men and women on the campus
were staggered this morning by the alb
solute refusal of the faculty committee
on student body affairs to make lay
concessions in view of the apology that
was Forthcoming last night
The committee announces that it will
neither reinstate the twelve men who
were suspended nor discontinue the
hearing of the 246 students who volun-
teered their names as participants in
the disturbance which caused the de-
scent of the faculty ak.
A notice was posted in front of the
presidents Office this morning to the
effect that the committee thanked the
student body for it's expression of re-
gret in connection with the parade, but
saw no reason for reconsidering the
suspension of the twelve men who were
suspended or discontinuing the hearing
of the others who have admitted an
equal culpability. Examination of these
is continuing at the rate of ABOUT
twenty an hour
Continue investigation
The investigation will probably ex-
tend until tomorrow noon, IN oruer 10
prevent any hasty action by the stu
dents as a result of the committee
refusal to consider the apology offered
this morning as sufficient grounds for
reconsideration of the original twelve.
President Murphy will not call a
student body meeting and has issued a
statement asking the men to refrain
from any action until the final decision
of the committee is announced. The
committee gives no inkling as to what
its action will be, but the general opin-
ion seems to be that the entire number
of petitioners will be dismissed.
BY their apology the students consid-
er that they have made all possible
amends, and in case any drastic action
is taken by the committee the senti-
ment is in favor of a fight to a finish.
Editor Harold Fitch of the college
daily tonight reiterated his stand that
the students have not been fairly dealt
with, and have right on their side in
the demand for reconsideration, which
should be fought to the finish. He
states that the situation is now so
acute that it is the duty of the alumni
to step in and attempt to settle the
affair.
