THE MAINE DISASTER

Belief in Havana That the EX-
1110. is on Game from Without.

 

{33.62.14 -1113 MINE SYSTEM

Said That Spain Is “Filling to Put 1118x-
imo Gomez at the Head of an Autono-
mous Government if the Cubans “'1”

Accept.

Havana, Cuba, via Key West, Fla,
Feb. 25.——It is useles to deny that many
believe that an outside agency caused
the disaste1 to the Maine. These assert
that even a cursory examination of the
wreck shows conclusively that the ex‘
plosion could not have originated from

within. It is pointed out that the main
magazine f0111 ard was filled with
brow 11, hexag onal powder in proper

cases, and would be slow to ignite,
while all the high explosives were aft.
It is generally conceded that neither
the boilers, the electric wires nor spon‘
taneous combustion could, from the
very condition of things, be responsible.

The w1eck has sunk several feet al-
1eady in the soft mud and will probably
continue to settle. An American of-
fleer of rank suflicient to entitle him to
command a ship is authority for the
statement that a Spanish naval officer
some time ago sold the Washington
State Depaitment a map of Havana
har'bm showing submarine mines. The
Spanish residents deny this statement
and say that the mines exist only in
imagination. The Cubans, on the other
hand, claim that there are mine gal-
leries under the harbor leading f1om

subterranean passages, known to have
existed for years, between Fort Ca.-
banas and Morro Castle and this port.

The Spanish explain that for over a
century a subterranean passage, about
two miles long and eight feet wide at
its narrowest diameter, capable of giv-
ing passage to a column of troops, has
existed from the navy yard to Castillo
del Principe, but the existence of this
passage was not known to the present
authorities or to those who have been
in power for many years past. The en-
trances and exits have long been closed
by thick walls, now covered with debris,
and their exact location is said to be
lost. At the same time, it is admitted
that records regarding the subterranean
passage can be found in old documents
contained in the archives of Havana.
The Spaniards insist that this passage
does not go under the harbor at any
point.

General Blanco, on the night of the
disaster, was sitting with General Mari-
nas in the corridor of the Palace. When
he heard the explosion he jumped from
his chair, exclaiming: “Mi pusieronl"
(They are about to attack me.)

The latest dispatches from Madrid
confirm the reports that the home
government agrees to an amplification
of the autonomous constitution in the
direction of a greater independence.
This depends upon the insurgents ac-
cepting the conditions of peace. In well-
informed circles it is confidently be-
lieved that if the Government attempts
to disarm the volunteers great disturb-
ance will ensue. General Solano, the
second chief of staff, says:

“From the Queen down the sentiment
of 17,000,000 of the Spanish people fa-
vors complete autonomy for Cuba, ex-
cept a small minority in Spain and
about 400 Spanish residents in Cuba,
whose patriotism is measured by their
own personality and their regard for
five-dollar pieces. But despite their op<
position autonomy will come because
Spain is willing to grant the natives
political control, and is willing to go so
far, if necessary to Secure peace, as to
make Maximo Gomez the head of the
autonomus government.”

The censorship is very strict, and ac-
cording to a recent order all dispatches
must be submitted in Spanish as well as
English. This doubles the trouble of
the correspondents, and quadruplcs de-
lay.

No one believes that autonomy is now
or can be anything but a name; and
there is a, deep conviction that the
United States will not long suffer the
present state of things to continue. It
is not believed that any negotiations
betw ct-n Senor GO' 'in, Secretary of the
Interim: St 1101 D012, Secretary of Com-
munications. and Senator Glberga and
the insurgent leader, Capote, in the
name of the autonomist government,
will come to anything.

The stories published by Spanish pa—
pers that the United States naval of-
ficers at Havana are talking too much,
are absolutely unfounded. It would be
impossible to find more discretion than
is shown by all. from captain to cadet.
Even the men. wounded or unwound-
ed, are careful what they say. lest an
indisc‘retion in talk should lead to se—
rious action. Of course, it is recognized
by all Americans that a. crisis is com-
ing, likely to be sudden when it ap-
pears.

(‘aptain Sigsbee‘s private letters have
been recovered. but his gold medal from
the Red Eagle, given to him by Em-
peror William 1., of Germany, for his
inventions of deep sea apparatus, have
not been found.

As an illustration of the want pre-
vailing in the immediate suburbs of
Havana, it is said that during the last

be exaggerated in elements of horror.
From most trustworthy sources it is
ascertained, that while the outward
sgns of famine and disease are not
So plentiful as a few months or weeks
J, it is because death is busy, and
the sufferers who are left are too weak
to get on thestreets. As an illustra—
tion, in the province of Santa Clara
seventeen persons took shelter in an
abandoned lime kiln. When their pres-
ence was discovered by the authorities
thirteen were dead and the others too
far gone to recover. The story is of-
ficially corroborated.

Miss Clara Barton visited the village
of J‘aruco, thirty miles out, the other
day and found between 3,000 and 4,000
starving persons. She was almost pros-
ti'ated at the scenes of desolation and
misery she witnessed. Without outside
assistance this condition of things
must steadily grow worse, and the na-
tive officials confess themselves at the
end of their resources. This is par-
ticulaily tiue of the towns and vii-
lages outside Lavana. Strangers vis-
itlng the city, and resident foreigners,
as well as natives able to do so, con-
tribute to alleviate the more a‘c"ute
cases of distiess.

ALLEN’S RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN.

Scnate Convinced That Nothing Should
Be Done toliurry a Crisis.

“'ashington, Feb. 25.—Senat0r Allen
yesterday withdrew his resolution to
authorize the sending of a. committee
of Senators to Cuba to investigate the
situation there. This action is due to
the conviction that the Senate would
defeat this resolution by a larger vote
tha 11 it did the be lligerency amendment
M cdnesdav.

This conservatism of the Senate
arises from a conviction that a crisis
with Spain is about to occur on ac—
count of causcs already existing and
a desire not to run the risk of any false
step which would enable Spain to fix
the immediate responsibility for the
conflict upon this Government. The
51111? .311111, too, demands that nothing
shot lid to done in this counti v to give
excuse, ilo'u ev 01 poor, for a popular up-
rising of the Spanish in Cuba. The
declaration by Senator Thurston in the
Senate Vi’edncsday that it would be a
grave misfortune if our strained rela-
tions were to come to a crisis before
the completion of the Maine inquiry,
voiced the apprehension felt by those
most familiar with the situation.

FINISHED ITS WORK IN HAVANA.
Naval Court of Inquiry Will Probably
Go to Key West To-Day.

Havana, Cuba, Feb. 25.—The United
States Naval Court of Inquiry has fin-
ished its labors here. It probably will
go to Key W'est‘ to-day, continuing its
sessions there. General Lee was in con-
sultation with the members of the court
yesterday. About thirty witnesses have
been examined here.

The Right Arm has brought up al.
ready some important pieces of artil-
lery. The divers of the wrecking steam-
er Right Arm were examined by the
court yesterday. Their testimony cor-
roborates the evidence heretofore given
by the Government divers.

The members of the court, accompa—
nied by Co usul- Gencral Lee were
rowed mound the Maine’s wreck yes-
terday. They inspz-ctcd the work of the
divers. The work of recovering the
contents of the ship progresses slowly.

Another Attempt by the Nebraska Popu-

to the Diplomatic Bill-«lilorg'an Says
.Culm Is Lost to Spain.

“’ashington, Feb. 24.-—The Cuban
question was against precipitated in
the Senate yesterday by Mr. Allen
(Neb), who offered the following res-
olution:

"Whereas, It is the established doc-
trine of the United States that the
Vic-stern Hemisphere shall be dedicated
to 22-1: ublican fo1ms of government rec-
ornizing the political equality of hu-
man bei ngs; and

"Vihereas, The principle of the M011-
roe doctrine, 01' the doctrine of nation-
al self-preservation, is as applicable in
wresting any portion of this, continent
from the grasp of foreign countries as
in preventing them from obtaining ad-
ditional territory, and

“Whereas, The island of Cuba, by
reason of its location and close prox-
imity to the United States, should, by
right, be dedicated to a republican
form of government; and

.“thereas, A republic-.111 form of gov-
ernment is, and has been for nearly
three years, maintained in said island
by force of arms; and

“Whereas, It is alleged that 500,000
persons on said island have died of
starvation by reason of being concen-
trated by the Spanish Government at
various points, without being fed or af-
forded an opportunity to provide food
for themselves, and hundreds are daily
dying: and

“Whereas, The dictates of humanity
require the intervention of the United
States in such case; therefore,

”Resolved, That a select committee
of five Senators shall be appointed,
whose duty it shall be to forthwith
make a thorough investigation and in-
quire into and report on the following
subjects:

"First, to what extent the work of
concentrating the inhabitants of Cuba
has been carried on by the Spanish
Government, and how many persons
on said island have in the last three
years died as a result of starvation, or
for lack of sufficient food, and diseases
incident theretto, and to what extent
concentration is now being practiced
there by Spanish authority, and the
condition of the people concentrated.

“Second. whether the concentrated
Cubans have been adequately shelter—
ed, clothed and fed by the Spanish
Government. 01' by others, or have been
permitted to obtain food and clothing
for themselves.

“Third, what 1:111 flll steps, if any, are
necessary and can be taken by the
United States to bring the war in Cuba
to speedy termination. 011 grounds hon—
orable alike to Spain and Cuba, and
which will result in the kingdom of
Spain relinquishing its hold 011 the isl-
and. and in the establishment of a re-
publican form of government there.

“Fourth, to what event Spanish bar-
barity and cruelty have (luring the war
now in progress on the island of Cuba
been practiced toward the inhabtants
of Cuba, and what can be lawfully
done by the United States if anything,
to ameliorate the condition of the Cu-
bans.

"And to these ends and for these pur-
poses, said committee may sit at such
times and places as they may see
proper during the sessions of Congress,
and in vacation, and shall have the
right to visit and take testimony in
Cuba, if deemed proper to do so. All
testimony taken shall be preserved,

'and' the finding of said select commit-

tee, together with all testimony, shall
be reduced to writing and reported _to
the Senate at as early a date as pra‘c-
ticable.”

The resolution went over on objec~
tion.

Later, when the Diplomatic and Con-
sular bill was taken up, Mr. Allen
(Neb.) indicated his desire to offer an
amendment, but first suggested the
lack of a quorum. The roll call devel-
oped the presence of fifty—five Senators,
more than a quorum. Mr. Allen's
amendment was the resolution recog-
nizing the belligerency of the Cuban
insurgents, which wasu‘nfavorably re-
ported a few days 'ago by the Commit-
tee on Foreign Relations.

Mr. Morgan, in opposing the Allen
amendment. said he had no right to
make a declaration of this sort in this
way. If this resolution was made a
part of the bill Spain would have a
right to consider it as a declaration of
war. He contended that conditions now
were much different than when the
Senate passed the resolutions last May.
The temper of the people of both na-
tions then was much diffeient t1..n
now.

Referiinc' to the Maine disaster and
the in' 'cstigaticn now going on. he said
it would not be right to force the ques-
tion. If the Senator from Nebraska
wanted to vote for a declaration of v' '11

Information About- Filibusters Asked.

TVashington, Feb. 24.——Before the con-
sideration of the Sundry Civil bill was
resumed in the House yesterday the
following resolution of inquiry, intro—
duced by Mr. De Armond (Dem., Mo.),
which was last week favorably report-
ed by the Foreign Affairs Committee,
was adopted without division:

“Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be, and he is hereby request-
ed to inform the House at the earlist
date possible, if not incompatible with
the public welfare, what has been done
by the United States to prevent the
conveyance to the Cubans of articles
produced in the United States, and
what to prevent ‘filibustering’ and what
results, giving particulars, and at what
expense to the United States.”

 

Against the Accident Theory.

“‘ashington, Feb. 24.—The Evening
Star has received the following from
its Havana correspondent:

“Inquiry into the Maine disaster pro-
gresses along definite lines. The results
so for may be summed up in the state-
ment that the probabilities that it was
an accident seem to decrease with the
progress of the investigation.

“The most intense anxiety is shown
by the Spanish officials here, who are
in constant communication with Ma-
drid. They realize that the relations
with the United States were never so
much in danger of rupture as now. This
is the general feeling.”

 

Call for lilarines.

XVashington, Feb. 24.—All the ma-
rines on shore duty have been ordered
to hold themselves in preparation for
service at the shortest possible notice.
Arrangements for their transportation
have been made, and a. record of where
supplies can be obtained and assembled
without delay is being prepared. It is
reported that fifty marines at the
Washington barracks, the headquarters
of the corps, have been ordered to Key
West.

 

Situation at Havana Grave.

New York, Feb. '24.-——News reaches
the Junta that the situation at Havana
has becouse critical in the extreme, and
that the public excitement and appre-
hension are intense, the volunteers and
Weylerites clamoring for war with the
United States and the conservative
Spanish merchants showing panic over
the possibility of their business being
wiped out altogether.

THREE SAVED FROM THE ASIA.

All the Rest of Those on Board the
“’recked Ship Lost.
Provincetown, Mass, Feb. 24.—The

tug Mercury, Captain Evan, has arriv-
ed here, bringing news that three men
of the crew of the British ship Asia.
were rescued alive by the crew of
Handkerchief lightship.

The men were taken from a piece of
wreckage, on which they had been

floating for twenty-four hours, and
were greatly exhausted. As soon as

they could talk it was learned that the
Asia had struck on Great Round Shoal.
off Nantuck.;t, during the gale Monday,
and had gone to pieces.

Capt..i'~1 133145... of the Asia, with his
wife and datgiirer, were among those
