ANOTHER SPANISH YARN
About Destruction of Battieship Maine
Is Quickly Exploded.

Washington. Oct. h.-PesitiNe an
nonncement was made today by the ord
nance bureau of the navy department
that the battieship Maine was not wreck
ed by the explosion of smokeless powder
and that there was absolutely no groun6,
for drawing parallel betweeh the cause
Of the destruction of the American bat.
tleship and that of the Liberte of the
French navy.
The report does not attempt to fix the
actual cause of the explosion but it doe
say whether or not examination OF til
wreck of the Maine shall disclose TN ,
cause of her destruction it is impossible
that il should indicate as the cause the
deterioration of smokeless powder.
A convincing reason for this statement
is that the complete records of the ord
nance bureau show there was no smoke
less powder on the Maine when she blew
up In addition II Is asserted that none
Of the four serious accidents IN the
American navy In recent years could be
attributed to the character of the powder.

them up in their privations and heart

lsorne one, knowing the Importance of
Japan's interests in the iron works, has
evidently fabricated the story.
Dispatches from Shanghai say that
owing to the publication by the native
press oil statements that the Japanese
are belittling the revolution, describing
It as n mere riot, the revolutionaries
are circulating pamphlets urging the
boycott of Japanese goods. They take
the ground that Japan does not recog-
nize the party of the revolution and
therefore should have no consideration.
The government. which is constantly
on the lookout for Japanese machina-
lions directed against Manchuria. is of
the opinion that the present Chinese crl-
sis will prove that Japan's actions. and
policy are entirely correct. The Chinese
foreign board has issued an optimistic
comminique announcing the arrival of
the troops at Hankow and anticipating
the speedy rccapture of WI Chang and
