Washington Officials Interested.

Washington. Nov. 14.-There was
intense interest in Washington when
the report from Havana that guam
titles of insulated copper wire had
been found about the hull OF the old
battleship Maine became known.
Officers of the navy. while approach
ing the matter with a caution and
anxious for details, held the discov-
cry of the wire to be strong corrob-
Grafton Of the verdict of the board of
inquiry that the Maine was blown up
from the outside.
To Rear Admiral Charles G.. Sigs-
bee, retired. in command of the
Maine when she was blown up,
there Immediately occurred the fact
that only Spanish divers were allow
ed to work outside the vessel during
the investigation. He knew of no
such discoveries, although he recalled
the fact that an American newspaper
man was present in the Spanish boat
boat from which the divers worked,
but did not disclose the fact that any
wire was discovered.
Brigadier General Arthur Murray,
Chief OF the Coast Artillery, asked IL
the wire was the kind used on board
the Maine. This, he said, would
at once prove the value OF the dis
covery. II the wire when compared
with that from the Maine proved to
be unlike it, General Murray regard
ed that fact as indicating that 1T had
no place where found and strong evil
dence OF sinister purpose.
That il highly interesting" said
Beekman Winthrop. assistant secre-
tary OF the navy. when the news was
given to him. This would seem TO be
corroborative OF the findings OF the
board that the explosion came from
the outside OF the vessel. It Is, how
ever. too indefinite Information for
detailed comment
When I attempted to go on board
the Maine after she was blown up,"
said Rear Admiral Sigsbee, 81 was
stopped by Spanish picket boat. I
at once protested against this. and
went to General Blanco. who recog-

rights were extraterritoriaI and de-

General Blanco. This position the
Spaniards maintained. and while We
examined the vessel our divers were
not allowed 20 explore In detail the
outside Of the vessel. This examina-
ton was made by Spanish divers.
While attempting to preserve the
judicial attitude which he has main
tanned concerning the destruction OF

FOURTON TO MONTGOMERY Manager of East Lake Park Become Associated With Wells Theatre

Charles Fourton, manager of East Lake park, will leave this morning for Montgomery, where he assumes the management of the Grand, one of the Jake Wells string of theatres. The Grand plays the same line of attrac- tions that appear at the Jefferson the atre here.
 MT. Fourton has had many years eX- perience in the theatrical business, and his friends in Birmingham will be glad to know that he has become connected with the Wells interests. He was man ager of East Lake for portion of the season year before last and has been manager all this season. Previously to that time he was connected with the theatrical business in New Orleans and was manager of one of the big operatic companies.
 MT. Wells spent yesterday in Bir- mingham with Manager Semon of the Bijou, discussing plans for this sea son. He declined to make an anS nouncement in connection with the Orpheum, which will be opened later. MT. Wells has Just come from Nash vile, where he attended the opening of a new theatre which he has just built there and which will play high class vaudeville.

CREDITORS MAY GET
 FIFTEEN PER CENT Lowell Talks About Knight
 Yancey Case NEW SUITS PROPOSED
Some Interesting Civil Actions Are Said to Re ContempIated Against Those Having Dealings With
 the Firm

That the creditors of the firm of Knight, realize between 12h per cent and 15 per cent upon their claims was the statement yesterday of w. s. Lowell, trustee for the bankrupt firm, who, as receiver jointly with c. F. Frost, and later full trustee, has handled the case since the firm was adjudicated a bankrupt in Huntsville sev- eral months ago
 He said yesterday that while the definite amount could not be stated, yet he be- lieved this percentage would be about correct. MT. Lowell says that the firm failed for about s5,ooo,oOO, and he thinks this a fair return for such a huge fail- ure. The trusted also announced that all the cotton which was prevented from being delivered by the trustee had been sold and that the money was on hand for the amount represented In addition the Henry Hentz case will soon come up for trial, and the trustee expects to win this suit which will yield several thousand dollars.
 Bordon Burr, attorney for the trus- tee. is now in New York taking deposi- tions in the Hentz case. To friends in Br- mingham he has written that the case was so large he had not been to a ball game since reaching the metropolis. Those who know MT. Burr's fondness for the national pastime believe from this that he is rather busy.
 The trustee will in all probability enter suit within short time against several more creditors of the firm. Suits have been filed in Pensacola and New Orleans for some claims which will be tried with in few weeks. Added to those which are to be brought it is expected that the trustee and his attorneys will be rather busy fighting suits for more money.
 The most interesting civil action to be taken is stated to be some suits which will be followed up after being filed in few weeks against persons In Decatur It is stated that the proposed defendants car ried accounts with the firm on cotton speculations. When the speculator won the money was taken and the transaction called '.nvestment" However when the firm went into the hands of receiver the erstwhile spectators or investors claimed that losses came under the head of gambling" and would not pay up It is said that the officers have many cases like this that will be filed against many prominent men in Alabama In the absence of MT. Burr Augustus Benners of Percy, Benners and Burr is looking after the suits, and he may file some of them at any time. However, 1t Is stated that future action may be post poned until Mir. Burr returns from New York
