NINE B|ROMEN FLY

Calais, France, July 6.-The great
circuit of Europe air race for 1000

today, when nine of the birdmen wing
ed their way in their second flight
across the English channel. Pierre
Vedrine, who has been leading at all
stages of the contest, was the first to
leage Dover and the first to arrive
here. He negotiated the trans-chan'

seconds.
Perfect weather greeted the aviators
when they made ready to resume their
flight this morning. There was
scarcely breeze enough to ripple the
surface of the channel and, while a
slight mist hung over the water. it
was not sufficiently heavy to hinder
the air racers.
Following Vedrine, the other con.
testants arrived in this order: Beau

Chief of United States Army
Engineers Says the Ships
Three Powder Magazines
Wrecked 1t.
MAYBE TORPEDO SET
OFF THE MAGAZINES
Maybe Spontaneous Combus-
ton Was the Cause, but
Bixby Cannot Assign Real
Reason Now or Ever.
National News Association

Washington, July 6.-That the de-
struction of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor on February Is, 1898,
killing nearly 800 men and precipitat-
ing the Spanish-American war, was
due to the explosion of the ships three
powder magazines, the cause of which
never has been determined, is the
opinion of General Bixby, chief of the
United States army engineers, who
has just returned from a personal in
spection of the work of reclaiming the
wreck
After carefully examining every por-
ton Of the wreck which can now be
seen. General Bixby arrived at the con-
clusion that there is no doubt that the
wreck das due to an interior explosion
Whether this explosion was the cause
of spontaneous combustion or other
causes on the ship itself, or from a
torpedo from without, it is impossible
to tell, he says. The wreck is in such
condition that the primary cause
will ever remain mystery, he de.
clares.
Is An Authority.
When General Bixby examined the
wreck, Is feet of the hull was above
water. For ten days he carefully
viewed every portion of the hull expos
ed to view and with oars and long
poles probed into the hidden depths be-
low. He was able to determine the ex-
act condition of the wreck, and how
extensive the destruction had been.
His knowledge of explosives and their
action renders his opinion virtually
conclusive.
The wreck is in a much worse con-
dition than was expected by army and
navy officials, General Bixby declares.
There is no doubt in my mind,' de-
clared General Bixby today, that the
explosion was from the inside. Il am
sure the destruction was caused by the
explosion of the magazines. There are
various proofs. A por1.on of the deck
over the magazines was blown upward
and laid backward. After polling witt:
oars over the place where the sues of
the battleship next to the magazines
ought to be, I could not find them
This means they were blown outward
and are at the bottom of the harbor
No explosion from the outside could
have caused the same results. The pri-
mary cause of the explosion will never
be learned. 1t might have been spon.
taneous combustion, caused by the
| coal. If it was caused by torpedo OF
mine from without, the fact looms
large, and that is the principal havoc
was done by the interior explosion
! There is no doubt that it was this ex
plosion which hurled up the decks and
with them the mass of the crew.
The Maine wreck is now turned
| outward, but whether 1t was first turn
ed inward, and then, by a second ex.
plosion, turned outward, cannot be de-
termined."
General Bixby said it is probably
that the rear portion of the wreck
can be pumped out and floated. The
great part, however, will have to be
taken to pieces and hauled away

CITY REFUSES TO
REMOVE THE DIRT
After Streets Have Been
Scraped by Contractor
for Oil Applications.

The board of works, this morning.
ruled against the claim of Contractor
Davis, who contended the city should
haul away the dirt that is removed
from the streets previous to the appli-
cation Of oil. Davis, who is under
bond to oil any streets in the city on
which oil is petitioned for by property
owners, declares that there was a YER
bal agreement between himself and
the board, when the contract was en-.
tered into, that the city should haul
away dirt, but that he should cause
the streets to be cleaned. He affirms
that removing the dirt nearly eats up
his profits.
Davis application was refused as
the city by the time all oiling is done.
will have paid out about 500 for
street and alley intersections Mayor
Zimmerman claims that Davis should
be satisfied with this He suggested
raising the price but Davis claimed he
could not get the business.
On Mayor Zimmerman's motion the
city council will be recommended to
permit North F street, east of Nine
teenth street. to remain North F street
instead of Park Place, as suggested by
one of the councilmen. If council pass
es an ordinance to change the street
name the Mayor will veto it.
The matter of rebuilding the North
% street steps, into the river valley,
which have, it is said, previously been
maintained by the city. was referred
to the city attorney and engineer for
investigation. Mayor Zimmerman be-
IEevee that the steps are the property
f the Star Piano company instead of
the city.
The c. & o. railroad was granted
permission to erect a stand pipe on
North Third street. Some time ago
similar permission was refused the
company, but as the plans were alter
ed so that no part of the pipe stands
on the street and so that the crossing
will not be blocked the board granted
the company the desired right.

This was the reason the packers
