Guns Of Malnc were h,rzzlcd

Havana-The Spanish assertion that
the battleshIp Maine was cleared for
action as she lay in the local harbor
Just prior to the explosion of February
Is, 1898 has been proven false.
AS the giant pumps cleared the
water from the cofferdam and revealed
the twisted, torn masses of rusted
steel that was once powerful fighting
machine, they showed the rusted guns
in the port turret aft, ranged to the
rear and al rest, with the muzzle caps
in their places.
Gazing at the shattered wreckage
covered with mud and slime, members
Of the American Board wondered how
any person on board escaped with his
life. All forward of the engines was
shattered and destroyed Aft, however,
the old sea dog is SOLID ard it is be.
lieved could be made water-tight
should it be decided to do so later on.
The explosion seems to have been
forward on the starboard side, but ex-
perts refuse to hazard guess whether
the big magazine exploded after the
initial defamation.
1t was expected that some of the
bodies known to be in the hull would
be uncovered by early pumping but
none have been seen. 1t is possible
some of them ale covered with the
many years accumulation of mud and
silt and the workers are proceeding
slowly and deliberately.
There is a a general feeling Of protest
among the Americans here over the
program Of the government to bring
the bodies of the heroes horne I'm the
collier Leodldas. They assert that the
least the government should do for the
honored dead is to send a battleship
for them and it is understood sug-
ges ton will be made TO Washington
to that effect if any bodies are found.
The Cuban government has already
arranged to honor the, Names dead
when they are sent to Arlington.

FOR SEVERAL DAYS

Mayor-elect Harrison w, Howell

Ter to be Water Commissioner to sue
ceed Benjamin f. Shaw. Mr.. Miller
is a prominent Republican, and a resi-
dent Of the Seventh ward, he living

asked several days ago II he would

missioner, and after considering the
subject fully, he informed Dr. Howell
this morning that he would accept.
The announcement Of his appointment
was made a few minutes later.
Mayor-elect Howell said he was
much pleased to have man of the
high standing and ability of Senator
Miller to accept the appointment. He
said that when Senator Miller was
asked TO take the appointment he did
not look favorably upon il, as he is
inclined to the belief that a man
should not hold two public offices
at the same time. Many OF his
friends, however, urged him TO ac-
cept as a public duty, and this SEN
ator Miller did today, although reluc-
tantiy, the Mayor-elect said.

Old Church While on Visit

Standing on the rocks along the
Christiana river yesterday afternoon
more than two dozen Swedish clergy
men and their countrymen presented a
stirring picture as they sang the ma
tional hymn of their fatherland in the
same manner that their ancestors did
on the same rocks three hundred years
ago. Those in the party. who are dele
gates to the Baptist World Alliance in
session at Philadelphia, wore their ma
tional colors, yellow and white and
following the singing. took pictures Of
the spot dear to their hearts. The vis-
iting delegation had been joined in
Philadelphia by Lawrence J. Broman,
Of this city, and upon arriving here at
4 o'clock on the Wilson line boat they
went TO the rocks. After viewing them
the party went TO Old Swedes Church
where a short service was held This
was opened by singing A Mighty Fort
ress is Our God" This hymn had been
sung in the edifice by their forefathers
years ago. The Rev Q. G.. Engstrand, Of
Brooklyn, made a brief address after
which The Rev Svedberg. Of Orebro,
Sweden, spoke on THE Privatons and
Prosecutions of the Early Settlers.
The Rev Mr.. Uro, a missionary 10
Spain, then gave thanksgiving and
prayer after which the party proceed
ed to the Swedish Baptist Church, in
Vandever avenue. where a supper had
been prepared by the women of the
church.
In the evening a public meeting was
held and the church was filled. The
Rev. Herman Litorin, former pastor
of the church, presided after which the
Rev. DR. Frank Peterson, of Minneapo-
lis, spoke.
The Rev Hjalmer East, NJ. D., Of

FAVOR new
CITY BUILDING
Council Approves Of Idea That
City and County Act To-
gether in Project
OBJECTION MADE
TO MEETING MINUTES

'City Council last night put itself on
record in favor of the erection of a
joint county and city building on the
Court House site. On motion of Mr.
Kane, a committee Of three will be
named by President of Council Ban
ming tonight to confer with the mem
bers of the Levy Court on the sub
ject. Mr.. DuRoss. of the Sixth ward,
amended the motion to include Build
ing Inspector John j. Cassidy.
The subject was brought up by
Councilman Conway. of the Tenth
ward. who said that the public build
ing committee had plans and specifi-
cations for improvements to the sani-
tary arrangements at the police sta
ton, but in view of the agitation for
a joint county and city building, he
| thought it was unwise, at least for
/ this Council, to take any action, and
he hoped the next Council would take
the same view. He said he considered
it a waste to spend any more money
on the present City Hall.
The reading of the minutes, which
covered several meetings, consumed
much time. Mr.. Benson objection TO
that portion OF the resolution adopted
! by the Council on Monday afternoon,
which set forth that the City Auditor
was out of the city on that day. He
said this was not true.
President of Council Banning con-
tended that the minutes were the pro-
iceedings of the meeting and could not
/ be changed. He said exception to
resolution should have been taken at
the time il was offered.
Mr.. Benson maintained. however,
that that portion of the resolution was
not true and should not be allowed
to remain on the minutes. The
minutes were approved.
Mr. Conway informed the members
that he proposed to call for the final
reading of the coal ordinance he
introduced at the next meeting. This
measure provides for a ton Of coal of
2240 pounds instead of 1000 pounds,
which the dealers now sell.
The proposed ordinance relative tc
garbage lids Is expected 10 be called
up for action tonight This measure
strikes out that part of the ordinance
which compels the garbage collectors
to keep the lids of their wagons
closed. r,,f....
City Treasurer Ross reported a bal
ance in bank of s1O6.23932, which in
cludes the park fund and other
moneys from the recent issue OF
bonds for the purchase of parks and
refunding of water bonds.
The ordinance passed by Council
providing for the issue of a single
bond for 100000 to the Williams
burg Savings Bank, was returned by
the Mayor with his signature and was
declared a law of the city.
