THE TWO NAMES AND THE

Of bitter bloody DAYS and also re-

other. the new Maine, arrived at Ha-
vana Monday.
/ Naturally the Cubans are talking
about these two ships One )f the
/ Havana papers. well named the Diario
/ FspanoI. goes so far as to insinuate
that the old Maine was blown mp by
her own officers. 1t cites "as indisput-
/ able proof of this that the officers wore
their dress uniforms when they attend
ed the funeral OF those killed on the
hattIeship." The Dario concludes that
the officers mus have sent these uni
forns ashore before the explosion. OF

uniforms damaged But besices this

fusal to raise the wreck.
Governor Magoon, in his latest re
