IN'W’INSIDEEII’l—IISION'

A Diver Says‘the Maine’s Plates
Were Blown Outward.

INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE

 

Clptaln Sigsbee Declares That Any In-
vestigation as to Whether the Harbor
Was Mined Would 'Be Discourteous to

. Spain—No Such Inquiry Being Made.

Havana, March 2.—One diver who
has been at work on the wreck of the
Maine says that the Board of Inquiry
has indisputable evidence that the bat-
tleship was blown up by an explosion
from the inside. This diver says that
the plates are all blown outward. He
says that portions of. the Maine’s b0t~
tom were found hundreds of yards
from the wreck.

The rumors that American divers
were being sent down with the object
of finding out whether the harbor is
mined or not are authoritatively de-
nied. Captain Sigsbee says it is no-
body’s business except Spain’s whether
Havana harbor is mined or not. To
prosecute such an investigation would
be discourteous to Spain.

Captain Sigsbee has had many dis-
putes with the wreckers on the Right
Arm. Their apparatus is entirely in-
adequate, he says. The Maine has sunk
twenty-one inches in the mud since she
first went down. Captain Sigsbee has
protested to the Navy Department at
.Washington against the tardiness of
the wreckers.

Bishop Santander, of Havana, an-
nounces that he will erect, at his own
expense, a marble wall around the
graves of the Maine’s victims.

The Board of Inquiry is expected to
finish its work in about ten days, but
its decision will not be given out for
publication at Washington until about
April 15.

 

The Inquiry at Key West.

Key West, March 2.-—The second
day’s session of the Court of Inquiry
is over, and nothing new is known re-
garding the fate, of the Maine, at all
events, outside the members of the
court. Some who confidently declared
a Week ago that the court had already
found the vessel was intentionally
blown up have. modified this convic-
tion, and, for the most part, admit that
reports must be based largely on spec-
ulation. Even naval officers are ap-
parently as much in the dark as the
civilians as to what the court’s opinion
is at the present moment. Excellent
progress has been made in the exam-
inations, and the court will probably
finish its work here to-day, when its
members will be taken back to Havana
on the Mangrove. '

The court examined four engineer of-
ficers yesterday. Passed Assistant En-
gineer Morris, Assistant Engineer Bow-
ers, Cadets (Engineer Division) Vlash-
ington and Crenshaw and ten enlisted
men. .

Judge Advocate Marix said: “We
have done good work and are clearing
up here in great shape.” '

Following the custom at the previous
sessions of the court all the witnesses
were sworn not to reveal any part of
the proceedings of the court.

It is the general opinion here that
the verdict will be that the maine was
blown up by treachery. All officers
who are not connected with the affair
directly and will talk have that opin-
ion. The slowness of the court seems
to strengthen this View.

SPAIN NOT RESPONSIBLE.

long Says Spanish Government Had
Nothing to Do With the Disaster.
washington, March 2.—Following the
Cabinet meeting . yesterday a report
was circulated to the effect that Secre-

tary Long had stated that the element -
of Spanish, responsibility had been:

eliminated from the incident of the dis-
aster to the Maine. When Secretary
Long returned to the Navy Department

a representative of the Associated.

Press asked if the report were true.
He said his expression had been of the
mot casual character, based entirely
upon his personal judgment, and did
not spring from any evidence or infor-
mation in hi‘s possession. He further
said that there was a material abate-
ment of the excitement over the sub-
ject of the Maine. The Secretary add-
ed that his reference to Spain's respon-
sibility was that the question of any
official participation by the Spanish
Government in the destruction of the

Maine was practically eliminated, in'

his judgment. He desired to have it
made clear that that was his personal
view on the subject.

SENATORS GO TO CUBA.

A Party of Congressmen to Make a
Personal Investigation.

XVashington, March 2.—A party of
Senators and members of the House
left Washington at 4 o‘clock yesterday
for a. trip to Cuba. They went by train
to Fortress Monroe, and from there
took a private yacht for Havana. The
party consisted of Senators Gallinger,
Thurston and Money, and Representa-
tives Amos J. Cummings and William
Alden Smith and their wives. Senator
Thurston said that the trip was under—
taken for the purpose of making a per—
SOnal investigation into affairs in Cuba.

"It is not,” he said, “in any sense an
official tour, but it will naturally give
us a better opportunity for'investiga-
tion than we can possibly have from
this distance.” He said the party
would be absent about ten days.

Senator Gallinger said that. he had
not exchanged a word with the Presi-
dent about the trip, and that it was
purely a private undertaking.

NO ULTIMATUM TO SPAIN.

March 1 Never Fixed as the Date for
Autonomy to Be a. Success.

Washington, March 2.—The story
that the administration had set
March 1_ as the date for Spain

" to prove her policy of autonomy in

Cuba a success and had given an ulti-
matum to the Madrid Government to
this effect is characterized here as on
a parwith the “war dispatches" of the
last ten days.
never fixed a date for Spain to carry
out her autonomy scheme and, as a.
prominent Senator said, if it had de-
cided upon a time, it certainly would
not have named a date. just after the

' THE LATTIMER TRIAL.

How the Fate of Sherlfl' Rial-tin and His
Deputies Hangs.

vVVilkesbarre Pa., March l.——Thc
fourth week of the Latt’imer trial 0129::-
ed yesterday with the genera. expects.—
tion that before the week ends the tes-
timony of the defense will all be in, and
some of the Commonwealth’s witnesses
in rebuttal heard. By t is middle of next
Week the verdict should be rendered.

The defense has many witnesses to
Ileanbutisrushingthem through so rap-
ldly that all will be heard by Friday or
Saturday, including the Sheriff and the
deputies. The witnesses heard by the
defense contradict in many important
particulars the evidence of the Com-
monwealth’s witnesses. It is said that
every one of the 111 so far heard are
directly interested in one company or
mother, either as employees on regular
salaries or employees' wives.

The first witness was Miss Cora Hein-
bach, aged 18, who said that on the day
of the shooting at Lattimer a woman
rushed past her house crying that the
strikers were-coming and she was go-
Ing to find her husband and get him to
hide, fearing that the Strikers would
blow up the town. She ran to the
schoolhouse and asked the teacher,
Miss Grace Coyle, to excuse her little
sister. She hurried home, and the en-
tire family hid in the garret. They
heard the shooting, a few scattering
shots and then a volley, but no shots
afterward. .

The second witness told how the
strikers at Lattimer were urged to
charge upon the deputies. This wit-
ness, Stephen Gullenmiller, drover over
from West Hazleton on the day of the
shooting and was a few feet behind the
deputies when the strikers approached.
He said that he saw a big man in his
shirt sleeves standing behind the depu-
ties, and that he beckoned to the strik-
ers to come on. They did so, although
momentarily halted by the Sheriff and
were close upon the deputies when the
shooting commnced. There were a few
Scattered shots and then a volley and
no shots afterward.

Stephen Durkin, a blacksmith, told
about having seen the procession of
strikers pass McKenna’s Hotel, some of
them carrying sticks and clubs. He,
with a friend, had halted in the alley
between the houses and back of the
line of deputies. As the strikers came
on he saw the Sheriff go out to meet
them, and saw the scuffle between the
strikers and the Sheriff. He lost sight
of the Sheriff. At this moment a man
standing just in front of him in the al-
ley motioned with both arms for the
strikers to come on. The crowd rush-
ed past the Sheriff and then came the
shooting.

The main interest in this witness’ tes-
timony was that relating ‘to the signal
from the alleyway by the big Hungar-
lan, which had been previously men-
tioned. The Witness was minutely ex—
amined as to the time taken up by the
shooting, and as to whether. the strik-
ers had started to run before the gen-
eral volley.

He declared emphatically that at the
first two scattering shots the mob had
iturned to escape, and that as the vol-
, Iey came many ( f the strikers had their
. backs turned toward the line of depu—

ties. This point is one on which the
defense will lay much stress, because
'the prosecution’s contention has been
that the men were ruthlessly picked off
after they had run away some distance.
Witness Durkin told the best story
1yet offered on the side of the defense
In this particular. .

Burgess W. W. Smith of West Hazle-
ton said that on September 3 he saw
about fifty strikers drive the men from
the Coyle strippings, by throwing
stones at them. He, began to tell how
the policemen, whom he ordered to ar-
rest the men, we're afraid, but was

 

 

, stopped by the Commonwealth, and the

' objection was sustained. The burgess

5 went on to say that after September 3

"tan Jones to take
‘emen to aid him at
night. This w owing to the fear of
violence at the ands of the strikers.
John Landfee ar, an old resident of
West Hazleton, testified to advising the
strikers to disperse and go home and
pay attention to the Sheriff’s proclama—
tion. The strikers declined to listen

ALL IMIRIclN’S‘" SIFE

They Protest Against sensational
Reports About Havana.

 

 

MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT

And Resolutions Adopted Denying tht
Stories That Americans Are Daily In-
sulted on the (Streets—To 3. Sent to
President McKinley.

Havana, March 1.—A meeting of the

Americans now in Havana was held
last night at the Hotel Inglaterra. The

‘object was to protest against the sen-

sational reports which are being sent
to certain New York papers. Resolu-
tions wen m denying the Stories
that Americans are daily insulted in
the streets. Owes of the resolutions
will be sent to President McKinley
and Captain-General Blanco.

There is no intimidating of Ameri-
cans here. Every cithen of the United
States is perfectly safe.‘ These facts
were stated in emphatic form in the
resolutions adopted last night.

Captain Sigsbee has received orders
from Washington to forward to Key
West in metallic coffins any bodies
which may hereafter be recovered from
the wreck. Those which have already
been buried in the cemetery must re-
main there two years, according to the
Havana law.

Eight divers are continuing their
work at the wreck of the Maine. Two
are Spanish and the other six Ameri-
cans.

The physicians have given permission
for the removal of five of the wounded
sailors to Key West on the Bache to-
morrow. Their names are Webber,
Mack, Cahill, Matteison and Allen.

SOMETHING FOR SPAIN TO EXPLAIN

How Was This Explosion Caused If There
Were No Mines or Torpedoes?

Washington, March 1. — Ever since
Senor du Bosc made the ofiicial
statement last week that there
were no mines in the Havana harbor
there has been a good deal of comment
in official circles in regard to a. certain
explosion in Havana harbor some
weeks ago. The matter seems to have
been overlooked until the Spanish
Charge d’Affaires made his announce-
ment, but it is now recalled. At the
time of the explosion in question it was
officially stated by the Spanish author-
Ities that they were experimenting with
explosives in the harbor.

Shortly after Blanco assumed com-
mand in Havana a dispatch entirely
free from sensationalism was sent from
Havana and. published largely in the
American newspapers stating that a se-
vere explosion had occurred and that
there was much excitement and appre-
hension until it was checked by the an-
nouncement_of the authorities that the
explosion was merely an accidental dis-
charge of a torpedo in the harbor which
officials “Were experimenting with from
the shore.” This announcement at
the time insignificant, now acquires im—
portance as disproving the claim that
no torpedoes or mines were in the bar-
bar.

TO INCREASE THE NAVY.

Resolution to Appropriate $20,000.00!)
for Purchase of “’ar Ships.

Washington, March 1.—-Representa-
live Bromwell, of Ohio, yesterday in-
troducedun the House the followlng
resolution: “That the Secretary of the
Navy be and he is hereby authorized
whenever in his judgment it shall be-
come expedient for the best interests of
the country to dose, to secure options
upon and consummate the purchase of
such battleships, cruisers, rams, tor-
pedo boats or other form of naval ves-
sels as are of the most modern type
and ready for immediate use, together
with the necessary armament and
equipment for the same as in his judg-
ment are necessary to place the naval
strength of the country upon a; proper
footing for immediate hostilities with
any foreign power with which the same
may be threatened; and that for the
purpose of consummating such pur-
chase there is hereby appropriated the
sum of $20,000,000 to be immediately
available.”
. The resolution was referred to the
Naval Committee. Mr. Bromwell said
he introduced it to call the attention
of the Naval Commitee to the necessity
for providing such a contingent fund
In the Naval Appropriation bill. If the
committee does not include such a pro-
vision in the bill when it is reported
he will offer it as an amendmcnt in the
House.

NO MORE MEN FOR THE NAVY YET.

Naval Bill to Be Held in the House Until
Maine Inquiry Ends.

Tv’ashington, March 1.— It seems
, that the Columbia and the Min—
‘ neapolis must wait for their com-

; plement of men to go into commission.

 

Much mystery surrounds the question.
When asked about the letter from the
Secretary of the Navy, requesting au-
thority to enlist 1,500 men to man the
Columbia and Minneapolis, and make
up the complement of other vessels, Mr.
Boutelle, chairman of the House Naval
Committee, showed great irritation,
and indicated his opposition to the ap-
plication of the Secretary. Later, it
was said that an understanding had
been reached between the Secretary,
Mr. Boutelle and Senator Hale, chair—
man of the Senate Committee, that a
joint resolution. providing for the en-
listment should be put through both
houses this week.

Since then the situation has changed,
and it is determined that the depart-
ment shall wait until the naval bill is
reached in the regular way before the
men are provided for these vessels. The
members of the committee are very ret-
icent and hint that there is a serious
disagreement somewhere. It is said
on committee authority, that the naval
hill is to be held back until the report
of the l\«l’aine Board of Inquiry has been
reclived, and that if then it appears
:hut war is inevitable provision will be
made in the bill for all the men wanted,
and the further strengthening of the
naval establishment, but. that nothing
will be done until then.

Tl-e large Flavine dye wood and
(-hezn'nical works of the John S. Young
C(unxfi-any, at Hanover, Pa., were de-
strbyed by fire Sunday, entailing a loss
of $40,000; insurance, $26,000.

 

 

ANNIVERs_AR_v PARTY.

Mrs. Susan Ferris Surprised
By Her Own Kith and Kin. ‘ -

Presented with Many Valuable as Well as
Useful Girls.

‘17——

Tuesday was the 80th anniversary
of the natal day of Mrs. Susan Ferris,
and she was given a birthday surprise
party at the home of her son, Hon. John
H. Ferris on West street, SOuth Nor-
walk in the evening.

The old lady went to the home of
her son with the delusion that she was
to see a. lot of little chicks hatched out
in an incubator by her grandson, Percy
Ferris.

When she was ushered into the
house she was met by a shower of con-
gratulations which threatened to over-
come her, but a happy smile played on
her face as soon as she recognized the
situation and became aware that she
was the victim of a. surprise party.

Those assembled to give her greet-
ing, and they numbered over fifty, were
all members of the Ferris family, and
included as direct kin, Hon. John H.
Ferris, Frank N. Ferris, Charles E.
Ferris, Mrs. W. H. Jarvis and Mrs. E.
Valentine. .

Mrs. Ferris entered into the full
spirit of the occasion and was seeming-
ly as young as the youngest of those
present, at least so far as actions went.

It would require a truck to convey
to her home the presents she received
which were as varied as they were val-
uable.

Music, both vocal and instrumental
was provided, and a feast of good things
edible Was served, in which latter, Mrs.
Ferris took a hearty interest.

Having a knowledge of her love for
flowers the “surprisers” provided lib-
eral quantities of them and the rooms
resembled a tropical garden.

It was a late hour when the good old
lady bade good night to her friends
and returned to her home.

This morning Mrs. Ferris is reported
as having survived the attack in good
form and as feeling quite chipper.

POUND RIDGE ROMANCE.

 

A young couple’s love affair is caus-
ing‘ a good deal of gossip in Pound
Ridge, says the Stamford Advocate.
About a year and a half ago a young
man of twenty-six years began paying
attention to a girl of little more than
sixteen summers. As the story goes,
the old folks and other members of the
family seemed to look upon the affair
as an acceptable one, and treated the
beau with all due courtesy. The time
came to purchase the engagement
ring, and the love-stricken pair drove
to Stamford one fine day last fall and
bought a desirable ring. ‘

As the winter was passing away and
thoughts of the spring work on the
farm began to loom up in this youn;=~
swain’s mind. he thought best to marry
as soon as the law would allow, rather
than court another summer, realizing
that every night spent courting would
make him quite unfit for farm labor the
next day. He told all this to his be-
trothed, and finally she agreed that on
or shortly after her eighteenth birth-
day she and he would become one.
She dropped an occasional hint to that
effect to her family, but they thought
better to wait at least another year.
Notwithstanding, she promised her in-
tended that she would do as he
wished. Then there came a rupture
between the young man and his fian-
cee’s family, they sending hima letter,
which read:

“Mr. —— My husband joins
with me in positively forbidding you to
darken our doors again and addressing
our daughter Mabel. Signed, Mrs.———.”

In a few days the young lady was
sent to visit her 'uncle in North Stam-
ford. On the day that she and every
one else supposed to be her birthday,
February 18, the young man drove to
the uncle’s home to take his girl and
that evening be married. But some
officious person went to the girl’s fa-
ther, and, to exact, told the parent

 

that he was about to tell him something '

and to understand him opposite to what
he said, which was: “Mr. has
not gone after your daughter.” While
the young couple were talking matters
over, who should drive up but‘the fa-
ther. After making a. few uncompli-
mentary remarks to the young man, he
without further ceremony ordered the
girl to come home with him, which she

 

. did.

On arriving home, she says the other
members of her family made it. so un-
pleasant for her that she went to a
neighbor’s and met her intended. But
later her father again came and took
her away, saying that if she did not
come home her mother would be crazy,
but people who :were at the parent’s
home claim that the mother was not
the least excited. The father said that
the girl would not be eighteen until
Feb. 23. This was contrary to What
she had been brought up to believe was
her birthday.’ She has held birthday
parties all on the 18th of February; and
those who claim to have been there
say it was Feb. 18. Never until this
year was the date disputed, and the
townspeople laugh uproariously.

The young man made an attempt to
get his girl on Wednesday, the 23d, but
again failed. Her people are keeping
her well housed, but he does not de-
spair. .Public sentiment is all with the
unlucky couple. Several have tried to
arbitrate the matter, bpt_have failed.
The young man declares that he will
see the case, through and carry it to the
county courts if necessary.

 

Reindeer on: for Klondike.

New York, March 2.—On a, spe-
train that left over the

cial -

Pennsylvania Railroad last night for
the .Klondike were the 537 reindeer
which arrived here on the steamship
Manitoba. from Lapland. Accompany-
ing the reindeer as caretakers were 113
Laplanders, Finns and Norwegians.
Special arrangements for the transpor-
tation of thlslarge consignment of
reindeer were made with the railroad
by the Government. The route over
which the special train will’ travel will
be the Pennsylvania to Chicago, Chica-
go, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad to

St. Paul and the Great Northern to Se- .

attle. From Seattle the reindeer will
be shipped by steamer to Alaska.

Now that the Government has aban~
doned the idea of a reliéf expedition, it
is more than likely that the oufit will
be disposed of at Seattle or some place
in the Yukon country, where much bet-
ter prices can be obtained for the rein-
deer than elsewhere.

Baseball League in Session.

St. Louis, March 2.——The National
Baseball League met at the Southern

vate par-lei? of President Young. At
noon they adjourned, after listening to
the reports of the several committees
on railways, rules, telegraph, press, &c.,
which were received and filed. The
afternoon session was devoted to the
