SPY REVEALS SECRET
SAYS AN AMERICAN BLEW UP
THE MAINE"
Plausible Story Attracts the Atten-
ton Of Chief Wilkie But it is De-
MED by the Mans Biogapher.

The United States government it
became known, has Investigated a
report to the effect that the Maine
was blown up in Havana harbor by
an American who had been con-
demned to deathsby the Spanish, but
won his freedom by destroying the
American battleship. The spy who
turned the story into the Secret Ser
vice bureau at Washington, D. c.,
asserted that George B. Boynton, a
Soldier of fortune who died re-
Gently was the man who actually
blew up the Maine. Horace Emith,
biographer of Boynton, declares the
story is false and that he can prove
Boynton was in Venezuela at the
time Of the explosion.
''The Spaniards, said the inform
er to Chief Wilkie Of the Secret Ser
vice, were entirely unprepared for
the visit Of the Maine, which was
sent to Havana suddenly and with
out warning. Consequently there
was no mine attached to the buoy at
which she was moored.
capt. Gen. Blanco and his staff
did not relish having a hostile war
ship in such an advantageous posi-
ton in the event Of war with the
United States, which they then re-
garded as at least a possibility, and
it was decided to- blow her up, un-
der such monditions as might make
It appear she had been destroyed by
an accidental explosion Of her own
magazines. A large boiler from the
navy yard was taken to the arsenal
and filed with powder. It was pro-
vided with mechanism by which
it would be exploded by electricity
and then hermetically sealed.
'.The boiler was lashed in lg
under a lighter, which was to"ed
across the bow Of the Maine at
night. Ven the lighter was di-
rectly in front Of the battlesh1p the
lines which held the boiler were cut
and it dropped into the mud.
"The Spariards then fixed on
Boynton as the person to set off the
mine. He had been captured short
" before while conducting fltbust-
ering expedition for the Cubans,
whom he had aided during the ten
years war, and was then imprisoned
in Cabauas Fortress.
According to the story. he was
tried and sentenced to death, but
was offered life and liberty If he
would press the button that was to
destroy the Maine, and swear never
tc reveal the secret. He accepted
these terms and on the night OF
Feb. IS, 1898, when the Maine
swung around until her bow was
directly over the mine, with her
keel only three or four feet above
it, he was taken to the Machina
wharf, where he threw the switch
that caused the explosion. Then he
was set free and left Cuba"

and who are Informed as 70 the
chaos existing in the political affairs
of South Carolina, it is scarcely nee
essary to say that the governor OF
South Carolina has, to say the least
of it, taken circuitous route to at
tack Mr.. Fielder, his allegation, as
mysterious and misty as 1t is, relat-
ing to an event of seven years ago.
If there had been anything n the

in his duty in not having given the
people of his State the benefit OF

suddenly springs an attack on Col.
Fielder in a general fusillade in
which he assaults at the same time
many prominent citizens Of South

HOUSE DEMOCRATS AGAIN PULL
TOGETHER IN CAUCUS.
Party Declare for Duty of 20 Per

Per Cent Reduction.
Per Cent Reduction.

A Washington dispatch says the
sum and substance OF the action OF
the Democratic House caucus Thurs
dav night is that the Democrats IN
that body are keeping up their rec
ord of achieving at the extra session
the best politics the party has played
for two decades.
Republican hopes of a serous Dem
ocratic split are again blasted By
the magnificent Democratic leader
ship in the House, the proposed Dem
ocratic revision of the wool tariff
and the Underwood bill, being unan-
imously approved by the Democratic
causcus at midnight, twelve hours af-
ter it had been made public by the
ways and means committee.
Through a resolution, which leaves
the Democratic party open in the fu-
ture to renew it's advocacy Of free
trade in raw wool, but which COM
nits all Democrats to the support OF
the present bill as a revenue meas
ure, that measure was put through
the caucus Thursday.
The final vote on the approval OF
the Underwood bill was made unan-
imous, but the following members
were excused from a pledge to sup
port the caucus action: Representa-
tives Rucker, of Colorado: Ash
brooke and Francis, Of Ohio; and
Gray. of Indiana.
The resolution agrees on a free
raw wool tariff, but was finally voted
down and the revenue deriving bill
was adopted.
The need for duty, the resolution
stated, was due to Republican ex-
traragance, which made necessary
large revenue. Speaker Clark took
the floor and supported the resolu-
ton, which had been framed in the
conference
