EXPERTS TO EXAMINE MAINE
Exact Cause of Explosion Sought By
Navy Department.

Washington, July GA board OF
naval experts is being selected by
the Navy Department to study the
hull of the battleship Maine, in Ha-
vana harbor, as the water is pumped
from the cOfferdam now surrounding
the wreck
The Navy Department officers are
confident that the examination will
prove the correctness of the findings
of the Sampson board, which decided
that the explosion which sank the
Maine was caused by torpedo or
mine and that the explosion of ships
magazines followed.
In view of the renewed interest at
taching to the actual cause of the
destruction of the Maine, General
w. H. Bixbee chief of engineers, who
has just returned from Havana, to-
day issued the following signed state
ment:
'The work of unwatering the Maine
so far proves nothing as to the origin
of the explosion of the magazines,
but already shows such extensive de-
struction from the forward part of
the boat that it is quite probable that
fuller unwatering will fail to give any
proofs either way as to the origin
of such explosions. l have so far
made no reports or statements as to
the origin of the explosion"

t1ons a declaration to pledge the
teachers to votes for women"
Mr.. Murray was head of the Colo
rado educational department during
1893 and 1894, during the term of
Governor Waite. During his term the
franchise was extended to women in
Colorado, and at the next election a
woman was elected to succeed Muir
ray, and the office of State Superin-
tendent in Colorado has ever since
been held by a woman.
Mr.. Murray has been a resident Of
San Francisco for a number of years
and is now secretary of the California
Democratic State Central Committee.
But the fact that woman suffrage
robbed him of his job, and for nearly a,
score of years has kept any other man
out of the office, has not in the least
lessened Murray's ardor for equal sur
frage, as proved by the radical set of
resolutions, drawn by him, which he
will present to the National Educa.
tional Association Convention.

PASSENGERS ALL SAVED.
Santa Rosa Breaks Amidships on
Reef on California Coast.

heef on California Coast.
Surf, Cal-The second officer ant
three seamen of the Santa Rosa, o
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
which went ashore at Point Arguelli
early Friday. were drowned when
lifeboat capsized while the passen
gers of the wrecked vessel were be
ing taken ashore by the crew late
in the night
Unconfirmed reports are that &
number of passengers, variously esti
mated at from three to twenty also
are missing.
Owing to the isolation of the scene
of the wreck and difficulty in the op
GRAFTON of the wireless and telegraph
lines, accurate Information was unob.
tainable at late hour.
The vessel cracked amidships at
$50 P. NJ, with all the passengers on
board. 1t split in two, half an hour
later, with the 2S5 souls on board
huddled in the forward section.
AT 10:30 P. NJ, the last of the crew
were taken from the vessel in the
breeches-buoy, leaving only Captain
X. o. Faria and 10 volunteers on the
wrecked vessel. The vessel, its cargo
and all the belongings of the passen-
gers are lost.
AS the shades of evening fell, the
tedious work of rescue, rife with
heart-rending incidents commenced
The last shadow of the setting sun sift-
ing through the iron embarrassing
chasm of the burst vessel silhouetted
the scores of passengers against the
darkening sunset. A heavy wall arose
from the brave crowd waiting on the
beach to start the work of saving
lives.
1t was 5:45 P. NJ, that the first
boat, containing Third Engineer c..
Brown and a woman passenger left
the Inflated vessel. They doused into
the breakers amid cries from those on
shore. They were lifted out and the
landsmen cheered.
Brown carried a line to shore and
when he had effected a landing, after
the desperate battle with the waves,
a net was rigged on the shore line
and the passengers, women and chill |
dren first, were taken from the floun-
dering ship, three and four at a time. !
The throbbing spectacle seemed to
last for hours. Every five minutes the
net on the shore line at which fren-
zied men and women tugged, landed
women and children in groups of
three on the sand
Just before the vessel burst, a life
boat containing the second officer
and Seamen Fred Johnson, E. w.
Jebsen, John Pfiffer and Oscar Peter
son, dashed to bits against the sides
of the vessel. Oscar Peterson was
washed ashore helpless and the other
four lost their lives.
