A man In Newport. Ky. had bull

was all right FOR the dog. though. he
used to wait at Fourth street for the
Monmouth street car, Jump on the
back platform and ride across the
Ohio river TO Cincinnati and back

INTERIOR BLAST ON
MAINE SUNK VESSEL
Wrecked by Explosion Of Mag
azines, Says Bixby.
Primary Cause OF the Disaster VIII
Never Be Known. He says-No
Bodies viii BE Found on
the Names Wreck.

The destruction OF the Maine in the
harbor OF Havana. was caused by the
explosion OF its three magazines, al.
though what set them OF may remain
a Mystery forever. No such effect as
that produced on the vessel could
have been caused by an explosion from
without.
Such is the opinion OF General w.
III. Bixby. chief OF engineers, U. S. A.,
who has returned from a personal In
spection OF the work OF raising the
Maine.
General Bixby said he prodded
around the bow OF the vessel. He
found by his soundings that at least
two-thirds OF the body had been torn
to atoms. The sides had been blown
away and were buried in mud.
This, he said. showed conclusiyely
that the wreck OF the Maine was
caused by an explosion within the
vessel.
General Bixby said that a portion OF
the deck over the magazines was
blown upward and laid backward. No
explosion from the outside. added the
general, could have caused the same
result.
What the primary cause OF the ex-
plosion was he continued, never
will be learned"
General Bixby did not believe the
bodies OF those killed In the explosion
would be found in the Maine. He said
they were probably buried In the mud,
200 feet or more from the wreck.
II was the mysterious destruction OF
the battleship Maine that brought on
the war between United States and
Spain. The explosion occurred Feb.
IL. 1893, nearly 800 American fighting
men being killed.
Cuba was In revolt against Spain,
20 which the island belonged at that
time. and the Maine had been sent 10
Havana, ostensibly on a friendly visit,
but in reality to protect, by its mere
presence. the interests OF Americans.
Rear Admiral Slgsbee in command OF
the vessel. was ashore with several
officers when the ship was blown up
In the night.
Immediately the report was spread
that the explosion was caused by
Spaniards In a plot against the United
States. A mine had been placed un-
der the ship, II was said, and explod-
ed by means OF a wire stretched from
Moro castle
The war that followed began with
declaration OF hostilities by the United
States April 25. 1898 May 1 Dewcy
destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila
Bay. July 1 Admiral Schley de-
stroyed Cervera's feet at Santiago.
Later Santiago surrendered to General
Schafter The war closed Aug. IL.
Meantime, the cause OF the explosion
remained mystery The mast OF the
Maine protruded above the water lev

mud that divers could learn nothing

MAY CONVENE LEGISLATURE.
Governor Crothers VIII be Asked to
Call Special Session-If, &c.

A great stir was occasioned today
in political and other circles here on
the possibility and remote probability
Of an extra session of the Legisla-
ture.
Unless, says the Baltimore Sun,
within the next forty-eight hours it
can be demonstrated that the grand
jury viii be able % make a complete
recount Of the city vote within two
weeks at the outside. the Democratic
leaders and the Democratic candidates
win urge Governor Crothers to at
once convene the Legislature in spec
ial session for the purpose of deal
ing with the situation.
There is a well-grounded belief
that the Republicans are hoping in
quiet way, that the count will be
dragged out until election day or
later, if possible, realizing that as
things stand now the best thing that
can happen to the Democratic party
is a quick, complete and accurate
recount of the entire city. Only in
this way, it is pointed out, can the
present situation be cured, and the
honestly nominated Democrats given
a fair chance for election.
For these reasons every Democrat
with the interest of the party al
heart is now eager and anxious for
the speediest action possible.

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.
The Washington Monument Said to Be
Crumbling.

The Washington Monument is crumb-
ling. The shaft erected by this gov
eminent at the national capitol to do
honor to the memory of the first pres
ident, and which il was proudly
claimed, would outlast the pyramids,
is showing signs of disintegration.
The monument consists of an outer
and inner walls fifteen feet apart.
In 1852, after the monument had
reached the height of about one hun
bred feet, all work was suspended for
many years. When the government
finally brought il to completion, it
was found by the army engineers that
the space between these walls had
been filled in with all manner of rub
ish, which was held in place by such
cement as was used in those days in
stead of being one solid piece of set
masonry.
1t is this inner core of the monu-
ment that is said to be disintegrat-
ing, and coming out to form the scale
blotches which have been noticed on
the white marble surface. There is,
however, no present danger of the
monument tumbling down, and if
necessary Congress will, at the next
session, appropriate whatever money
the army engineers may decide is
necessary to remedy the defect

Time to Weep and Time to Eat Pigs

poetry.
ut is ambitious" he said, but the
tragedy seems to me to be mechan-
zeal. In fact, the grief in these
verses reminds me of the grief of a
Tennessee mountain woman.
"She was eating pigs feet, one
day, at the door of her cabin, when
a neighbor came to tell her her bad
news. Her husband had got in a
fight at the Three Corners tavern, a
ball had lodged in his lungs, and
he had died instantly.

midway to her mouth, listened to this
narrowing tale in profound silence.

ously again, she said:

OH You Buffalo!

The Buffalos of Annapolis, which
are chiefly composed of Indianapolis
team, defeated the Marines Sunday
afternoon by a score of 6 to 5. Each
team played well, and at times it
looked very dangerous for the Buffa-
los, as the Marines punched their hits
and scored. At the sixth inning,
the score was tie and the Marines
made good rally and went in the
lead by one run, but the Buffalos
were there with the goods, and scored
two runs in the seventh, which
clinched the game. Hoff, for the
Buffalos, pitched a steady game, and
with fair support, managed to pull
through. Each team made eight
hits, and also this game was the
rubber, as each team had won one
tame. The score stood at the end
to 5, in favor of the Buffalos.

great necessity for a church and church

NEW SALUTE FOR FLAG.
Army Decides to Discontinue the Hats

1t has been decided by the War De-

of raising the hat or cap when the flag
passes the reviewing officer. Here
after the flag will be saluted by the
raised hand, as it is in all the other
armies of the world.
1t is also possible that the sounding
of ruffles while the band is playing
opposite the reviewing officer will be
discontinued. That practice has a
tendency, according to the officers at
the Texas maneuver division, to break
up the cadence of the steps. Both of
these changes are the result of ex-
periences at the maneuver division.
