REMOVE WRECK OF MAINE.
sunken Battleship a Serious Menace Il
Shipping Of Havana Harbor.

ington.-Governor Magoon, of
the provisional government of Cuba,
In his annual report to the secretary
of war, made public Sunday, brings to
his attention the wreck of the United
States battleship Maine in Havana
harbor, and recommends that the gov.
eminent take immediate steps to ac.
complish its removal without further
delay. He says:
THE wreck OF the Maine continues
to lie in the mud and waters of Ha'
vana harbor. The sunken battleship
is a serious menace to the shipping OF
the harbor, as 1t occupies portion of
the best anchorage. The obstruction
has increased annually during the past
ten years by causing a shoal. The
moderate tides prevailing in the har'
Dor are hardly sufficient to prevent a
gradual filling up, and this shoal Sc
riously interferes with the action OF
the tides, and, therefore, the entire
harbor is rapidly filling. 1t will be
necessary, in short time, to begin
dredging In order to provide proper
anchorage for the large amount OF
shipping now entering the harbor, un
less the wreck is removed. The an
chorage Is also restricted by the wreck
and the shoal, for ships are obliged to
anchor at sufficient distance to pre-
vent grounding in case they strain on
their cables"

Dynamite Used in Construction Of
Tunnel Under Lake Explodes,
Causing Fifty Deaths.
Building In the Lake Mile and .
Half From Shore Is Burned, the
Occupants Being Forced to
Plunge Into Icy Waters.

Chicago.-Fifty.three workmen arc
dead as the result Of a fire on We'd

der vault attached to the interme-
date crib in Lake Michigan, used in
the construction of a new water tun-
mel connecting with the south side OF
the city at Seventy-third street.
Ninety-five workmen were employed
in the crib and in the connecting
tunnel at the time of the fire.
The tunnel was being built by the
George w. Jackson company. The
first section of the tunnel starts from

half out, marked the beginning OF the
second section being built still further

there were from seventy-hve to ninety
men employed, working IN three

the bottom of the lake.
The defamation, muffled as it was
by the crashing of floating ice against
