SECTION OF MAINE
IS SET AFLOAT
Half Of Ship Now Ready to Float
Into Bay.

Havana, Cuba. Feb. 3.-The long
practiced task Of raising the sunk
en- battleship Maine was crowned
with success yesterday afternoon
when the after section, which was
not Injured by the explosion and
comprises approximately half the
length OF the illfated vessel was set
afloat. Barely sufficient water was
admitted into the cofferdam to free
the hulk from the mud in which 1t
was deeply imbedded.
Major Harley B. Ferguson. chief
engineer in charge Of the work, in
tends now to cease admitting water
into the cofferdam until the portions
Of the scattered section Of the battle
ship are removed which is a matter
OF few days. After this 1t will be
a simple matter to admit sufficient
water to raise the hulk to the har-
Dor. Then section Of the Golfer
dam will be removed and the hulk
floated into the bay.

Self Governing Army Offers Queer
Contrast to Well Drilled
Americans.
STILL FIGHTING AT CHIHUAHUA
Part of Garrison Helps To Sub
due Those in Re-
bellion.

FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 3.The dis
ciplined American troopers guarding
the north bank of the Rio Grande
were offered curious contrast to
themselves on the Juarez side yes
terday.
This was presented when the mu-
tineers reinstated their former Of
ficers with the provision that the Of
ficers can take no action without
permission of the soldiery. The lat
ter granted permission to their ofic-
ers to repair bridges, and trains
from the south are expected to ar
rive as soon as repairs are complete.
Despite the governments promise
to provide alleged back pay due the
soldiers-this is generally regarded
here as a bribethe mutineers are
not satified. They declare President
Madero must assure them that he
never intended to dismiss their hero,
General pasqual Orozco, and that
the present customs officials held ov-
Ter from the Diaz regime must be re-
placed with "heroes" Of the insur-
rection of last winter. d
Street car communication between
Juarez and Ell Paso has not been re-
stored. Guards patrol the streets
for the former but there is no dis
cipline.
Mexican Consul Llorente in Ell
Paso admitted today that there is
fighting in chihuahua. He says
that part Of the garrison is in rebel
lion and that the loyal troops are
attempting to subdue the mutineers.
Consul Llorente's advice is from Act
ing Governor Gonzales from Chihua-
hua. Private advices reaching here
at noon state that there Is fighting
around the penitentiary in Chfhua-
hua.

WILL HUNT
WOLF TODAY
Sheep Owners Attempt to Extermin-
ate Enemy Of
Flocks.
HUNDREDS IN THE SPORT
Thought That Number Of Men Will
Be Enough to Surround
Territory.
HUNDREDS IN THE SPORT

Indianola, Feb. S.-Today will
take place the largest wolf hunt in
the history Of Warren county. At
that time 500 hunters, divided into
squads and commanded by four
colonies and forty captains, will
move toward a common point, driv-
ing the wolves thereto, and proceed
to kill this common enemy Of the
sheep Of Warren county.
This action was taken last Satur-
day by the Warren County Sheep
Growers association at their called
meeting held in the Warren county
court house. All present at this
meeting were of the opinion that the
cold weather would drive the wolves
from their holes and now is the time
to strike. Wolves have been seen
prowling in many Of the largest
sheepfolds.
The territory to be covered by the
hunt embraces several square miles
adjacent to Indianola. The four
lines leading to the common point
will be carefully commanded to pre-
vent any injuries that might result
from careless hunters. Shot guns
only will be used, revolvers and
rifles are barred because Of their
carrying power. Three packs Of
trained hounds will accompany the
hunters and In case wolf gets
away the hounds will be set upon Its
trail.
Prominent among the hunters are
Col. T. d. Swan and Mai. Jess Long.
It is believed that this hunt will
accomplish much in extinguishing
the many wolves that have made
their way into the valuable sheep
fiocks Of Warren county and caused
serious losses to the owners.
