John W. Dobbins, Mr. Smith told Of

oiling of sewer catch basins. 1t con-
sisted of an oil can with a long wick
hanging over. The device was fast
ened to the top of the sewer basin.
Mr.. Smith commented that the de-
vice, theoretically, was fine one,
but no reckoning had been made Of
the fact that in some parts OF New.
ark sewer basins were Used as de-
positories of old be'din~- and Jaby

Some of he Spanish papers are in
sisting that the United States Govern
ment should officially exonerate Spain
from the charge of having been re-
sponsible for the wreck Of the Maine.
These journals are hasty, however, as
the sunken vessel has not yet been
sufficiently exposed for a careful
examination to be made. II is thought
that their utterances have been In
spired by the declaration OF General
Bixby that in his opinion an internal
explosion was the cause Of the catas-
trophe But that is merely the view
of single individual; others may see
it differently when the vessel is more
completely uncovered and the official
inspection is made.
