March 28.v—'l‘hat the battleship Maine through an error was destroyed by a bomb of his manufac- ilurewas the statement made by Gass- ‘lef‘ Rosseau in the Tombs prison today. Rosseau was convicted yesterday of having sent explosives to the Cunard Line pier, this city. in May, 1903. He made the following statement today: “For several years, while the Cuban patriots were struggling against 'Wey- let', I watched the contest with deep interest and sympathy. l derided to go to Jacksonville alltl do what. I could to assist. the brave revolutitlllists. I started from St, Louis. where 1 had been living during the early part of 1897,: “Before taking a train for the South 1 got together the. tnaterial for the construction of two exploding machines of tremendous power, so arranged that they,could be wound up and left In a selected place, with the certainty that they would go off with terrible destruc- tion within a few hours. , "At New Orleans I rented a r m and put the boxes together, after wh ch 1 went on _to Jacksonville. There I became acquainted with a party of Cuban leaders who were planning a fliibnsterlng expedition. They had en- sugud.the Destroyer, a small vessel. to take them to Cuba along with a number of American anti European ad- venturers who were anxious to strike a blow for Cuban freedom. “Several of the leaders of the party are man now well known and I will not mention their names, although 1 have among my papers a list of them a . » “I suggested to them that they use my machines to destroy Spanish war— ships in the harbor of Havana and in other ports on the coast of the island. They readily seized upon the Idea. anti when the Destroyer sailed with the ill- ihusterers they leak my twu machines with them. “it was my intention to go along with the party so as to direct the work of sinking the Spanish ships. but they dissuaded me. urging that i could be of greater use in Jacksonville. pre- paring other machines lf the first prov- ed successful. “It was planned to have some mem- bers of the revolutionary party join the Spanish navy so as get the ma- chinees aboard. If that failed it was decided to fasten one of the boxes to the hull of a ship under the water line. for I had constructed my ma— chines so they coltltl be exploded under the water. "That was late in the full of 1897. The next spring the Maine was des- iroyed. "Only one of the inch in the secret of the machines ever returned to Am- erica. I saw him some time after the ,war with Spain but] begun. “He told me he had nothing to do with the boxes after reaching Cuba, but had been told a mistake had been made. “The man who had been intrusted with the task of destroying a Spanish yessel attempted to fasten a box dur- ing the flight to one of'Alftlllsti's war~ ships anti blundered into blowing up the Maine. ”1 was told that. the mall. Immediate- ly after learning of the error he had made, committed suicide." llosscan said that he had attempted to blow up the Statue of Frederick the (treat. in Washington because he did not wish to see the statue of a king In America. He added that he was not an anarchist or a nlhlllst. and that he had made. no effort to supply explod- ing machines to the Russians. WILLIE LEMOINGELLI IN TOWN. (Jailed on Some of HI.

OYSTEHMEN NOW BUSY ' PLANTING LocalCrowers, Well Satisfied with LastCrop, Have Been Preparing for New One Since February (lysiormen are now engaged In planting and are In the midst. ol‘ the work. Some started as early as It‘elr ruury, the only reutralnluu l'Ul'l'o being the Ice and weather, anti the, work has been carried on steadily since. The dealers expect to continue to plant llli‘ til July. The harvesting season ls almost over, and local growers are well satis- fied with the crop. Oysters have been in great demand throughout the Will‘ ter, and dealers easily disposed of all they had. During the storms and ice of the winter many of the dealers Were unable some days to meet all the or- ders they received. but since the ice cleared away they have been rushing orders to all parts of the country. “We” INSPEB‘iIflN Militii NEW l ENGINE South Norwalk Electrical Com- missioners Will Probably In- stall Corliss Made in the Enlargement of the Plant Soon Electrical Commissioners Charles N. Smith and Joseph A. V,olk, together with Superintendent A. E, Winchester, have returned from a trip to a number of cities throughout the eastern states to inspect a new engine which is ac- complishing wonderful things. It will be absolutely necessary to ill- crease the equipment of the municipal electric lighting and power plant be- fore nexi winter, as it Is very difficult to accommodate the business at pres- ent. Another engine and a generator must be installed, and with this end in view the commissioners are drawing up a report which will be submitted to the Common (‘outlcil as soon as possible with the request that a city meeting be called to appropriate funds for the extrusion of the plant. D While the ctllllmissioncrs are not committed they appear to be Very fav— orably impressed with an engine called the Diesel engine. which Is manufac— tured by the. Corliss Engine. Company. and which has proved so satisfactory that it has supcrceded most of the Corliss engines, and is used for power oven in the Corllsr. factory itself. It has been adopted by a number of elec- tric lighting plants ulltl by trolley companies. Willie the first cost of” installation would be probably four times the cost of installing a new steam engine of the some power. it can be operated in a much more economical manner. The engine has no boilers and burns fuel on anti all the residuum of oil, the cheapest kind of fuel. and very low rates can be secured by the city from the Standard Oil Company for oil delivered at the station. The Diesel engine works somewhat on the principle of a hot air engine. and the fuel oil is burned in the cylin- der under an enormous pressure. There are a number of these engines in use and they were visited and inspected by Mr. Winchester and the ctmlmission- are. They state that marvels in econ- omy have been accomplished by these engines, The cost of producing 100 horse pow- twenty cents or two-tenths of a cent her horse poWer. The Diesel engine will produce 100 harsh power hours for tweuy cents or two~tcnta of a cent per hour. The engine has three cylinders and resembles a combination of gas engine and steam engine. The. engine needed will be about 250 horse power. The commissioners state that in all the cities and towns that they ylstod there was not one, not even Boston. the Hub of the Universe. which has better and cleaner streets than .South Norwalk. _W MR.
