REAR ADMIRAL MELVILLE GIVES REASONS FOR BELIEF IN
 LETTER SUPPRESSED.
WROTE TO SPEAKER REED
Says Spain Did Not Contemplate War and Would Not Have Taken Such Disastrous
 Chance.

New York, June 5.-That the United States hattleship Maine, now being uncovered in Havana harbor, was not blown up by Spanish emissaries, but was destroyed by an internal explo sion, the result of sn accident, is the belief of Rear Admiral George w. Mel vile, retired, who at the time of the disaster was engineer in chief of the American navy.
 This startling fact is revealed in g letter written by Admiral Melville or January 20, 1902. to the late Thomas B. Reed. then speaker of the house ol representatives,. For state reasons the letter was suppressed. It now ap pears in the North American Review.
 The more study and reflection ] give to the question,' the more I am convinced that the destruction of the Maine was due to an internal eXplo sion,' wrote Admiral Melville. "ln giving this opinion, there is no inten tion 10 reflect either upon the disci pline or morale of the ship, nor the sincerity of the views of the court of inquiry. Extended investigations show that there have been explosions oi magazines and coal bunkers, which have been inexplicabe. and which have taken place under circumstances that seemed impossible to account for. Such Is probably the case with the Maine"
 al, hnt in, hi- k-il ,tV he is upheld by naval experts of Flu lcpe. who are unbiased or even in clined to be preiudiced in favor ot America He declares his belief that at the time of the explosion the Span. ish government could not have con. templated war with the United States, else it would not have ordered the armored cruiser Viscaya to proceed to New York. Spain, he thinks, was sincerely desirous of peace and would have taken no such chance as destroy ing the Maine The admiral says:
 "Th, Spanish are great mining en- glneers and could not have been is- norant that the explosion of a great mine within the harbor would destroy shipping, ships and public buildings.
 The buoy used by the Maine was a most desirable one and Spanish mer- chant ships were secured to 1t before the Maine.
 Not single Spanish official has ever yet been specifically, or even in directly, accused of the grave act
 If the Maine was destroyed by a submarine mine, what became of the fragments of the shell or the mine? It is to be presumed that our divers re- ceived special instructions to look for such evidence"
 Admiral Melville's letter is given publicity simultaneously with the an nouncement that the pumping out around the deck of the Maine will be gin June 1b. and soon thereafter, 1t Is probable the cause of the explosion will be known with certainty.

"WHY SHOULD l USE
 CUTICURA SOAP2

"There is nothing the matter with my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles" True, it Is for skin troubles, but its great mis- sion is to prevent skin troubles. For more than generation its delicate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose. while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advantages of the best of toilet soaps. It Is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy. and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation.
 While It's first cost is few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, 1t is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making it's use, in practice. most economical. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura," Dept 23 L, Boston, for liberal sam- pie cake. together with a thirty-two page book on the skin and hair.

 The growth of the trees on the roof. has loosened the slate as the roots ex- tended along the rafters. It is feared that there will be considerable dam age to the building in the course of time. Some of the authorities believe that the trees should be removed and the roof repaired Others oppose the idea on the ground that the trees growing from the court house dome, furnish the most effective advertise ment that the town possesses and at. tracts many tourists.
 It is regarded as extraordinary that the trees should thrive with apparent ly but a trife of earth.

which mean better schoolhouses than usual.
 The ordinary schoolhouse has cost from $500 to $500 It was simply big box, of straight lines, with four windows on each side, a door at one end and a stove in the center. But the new buildings cost from $1.200 to S20O0. and they are thoroughly mod ern in lighting. with furnace heat, some even with steam heat. and with genuine slate blackboards. Every convenience known to the city schools Is being installed in the coun- try schools also
 There are many boys and girls now in the high schools and colleges of the state who got their common school education in one of these old-fash- toned box schoolhouses and there are a few who went to school in an old sod schOolhOuse. There are a few of these old sod schoolhouses still stand ing but not a single one is in use in Kansas now. All have been replaced by the modern structures
 Since the first of the year more than 300 school districts have issued bonds for schoolhouses. In every in- stance the bonds were issued for new buildings The old ones were used last winter for the last time and when the children started to school this fall they went to a new build ing with every comfort that is possi- ble to give them. Some districts do not have to issue bonds for the new structures.
