MEN and COAL BLOWN From THE MAINE
SUGGEST EXPLOSION INSIDE BATLLESHIPI

WASHINGTON, January s.--Thc
war department is receiving reports
from those engaged In raising the
sunken battleahip Maine from Havana
harbor, which, according 20 the engi-
neers in charge, suggest that the dis.
aster was due 70 an internal ex-
plosion, and not to an external agency.
In the mud and silt in which the hull
Of tho battleship lies buried have been
found great Quantities Of coal and the
bones OF some Of the crew Of the ship
who we're killed when the ship sank. :
Engineer officers now advance the
theory that the coal and the bodies of
the men were blown from the battle.

AFTER TESTIFYING
At INVESTIGATION

Frank w. Carpenter, executive score
tary of the Philippines, passed through
here on the Mongolia from Washington
yesterday, where he went to give tosti-
mony before a special Investigating
committee on the charge preferred by
Representative Martin Of Colorado, that
members of the interior department. in
the islands had been exploiting the
friar lands for the benefit OF themselves
and their friends.
Mr.. Carpenter spent a month in Wash
ington. The questions involved In the
investigation he said, concerned the
personal integrity Of Dean @. Worces-
ter, secretary of interior, in the matter
of leasing lands to his nephew, E. l..

With the present progress Of the

to have been the victim Of the Koroan's

Incidentally, Yung Chan was re-
leased from Jail but six months ago,
after serving two and half years on
another charge of embezzlement, hav-
ing on that occasion misappropriated
some money from the brother-inllaw OF
John Woo, Korean officer and inter

Attorney Murphy Of Lorrin Andrews'
office had previously traced Yung's
movements in Lahaina and found out
that a great number of sales reported
by the Korean existed in his imagina-
ton only. Consequently, when YunR
returned to Honolulu he was promptly
apprehended by Chief McDuhie, who
proceeded to interrogate him.
Yung lied to the limit, SO far as the
police can see, denying that no over
threatened Joachim and denying that
when he had applied for job he had
presented credentials from the Y. NJ.

twisted in several other of his state
ments, but all that the police are able
to get straight is that he was about
$500 short and that he was evidently
trying to make his getaway on the Mon
golia, which sailed yesterday, his inter
view with Joachim being dodge to
save time. He win probably be for

! -'IranspI.ntIna Asparaaus.

Some growers prefer lifting aspara-
guG plants In the fall, choosing only
the strongest for planting in the per-
manent plantation. II the ground is
prepared early in the spring, the
plants need not be lifted until plant
ing begins, but the safer course is to
take the plants up in the fall and
store them In cool. moist cellar or
pit. Experiments at the Pennsylvania
state college indicate that too much
care cannot be exercised in the selec-
ton and planting of asparagus roots.
This IL one Of the main arguments
for growing ones own plants. II they
are purchased at about "a a thou
sand. It IL not likely that many will
be discarded, while II grown at home
and there il a surplus of several thou
sand, the grower does not hesitate to
select the strongest. 1t is important
that thinning be practiced in the nur-
sary with view to growing the best
plants. This should be done when the
plants are about two inches high They
should be thinned to one or two
inches apart.
