TO RETURN TO HAVANA:
Maine Investigators Will Again
Visit Cuba's Capital. ,
50 THOUGHT OF A BOND ISSUE.
Secretary Gage St at Rest an t n
authorised Report Meantime an Or
floer of the Maine Declares That the
Maine ffu Wrecked by Dealan.
Washington. March 1. Late yester
day afternoon a telegram came to the
navy department from Admiral Si
card, at Key West, announcing that
the court of Inquiry in the Maine dis
aster will resume session at Havana
to obtain the evidence of the divers
after further work upon the wreck.
This communication sets at rest ru
mors that have been curicnt for aome
days past that the court was not to re
turn to Havana for the reason that
it had discovered the cause of the
sinking- ot the Maine, which was not
an accident, and that they had no fur
ther business in Havana.
One important deduction to be
drawn from the message was that the
report of the court of Inquiry can
scarcely be expected for several weeks
to come. The court will be occupied
at Key West for some days at least
In taking the testimony ot the sur
vivors there. Then upon the return
to Havana It is expected that a good
deal of time must elapse before the
divers can get through the mud which
now encompasses . the lower part of
the wreck ot the Maine and examine
the bottom. After this Is done the
court must deliberate In order to Be
sure an agreement upon their findings.
The reports that came from Key
West about great activity and the ob
servance of unusual precautions among
the few soldiers quartered there was
received with amusement at army
headquarters here. It was said that
no orders had gone forward from this
city to explain the bustle, but there
was the best reason to suspect that the
commandant was simply brushing up
the post and putting his best foot for
ward against the expected appearance
there on his tour of inspection of Gen
eral Merrltt.
The gunboat Wilmington sailed yes
terday from La Ouayra for Barbadoes,
traveling over the ground covered a
few days before by the Cincinnati and
Castine. All of the boats are slowly
cruising around In the Caribbean, and
will be so employed until April, when
they will go south again. Secretary
Long said at the close of office hours
that no orders bad gone out to send
another warship to Havana, reports
to the contrary notwithstanding.
' At the White House the utmost quiet
prevails. Many offers have come
from organisations and Individuals of
their services In case of a conflict.
Borne of the congressional callers also
have stated to the president that their
states would furnish full quotas of men.
Secretaries Long . and Alger and
Representative Dingley were among
the president's visitors yesterday, bat
it was stated that they had nothing
of Importance on the Maine affair to
discuss with him. Mr. Dingley spoke
afterward In strong terms against re
ports that financial circles In New
York were being aounded as to the
readiness with which fund could be
raised In an emergency. The atten
tion of Secretary Qage was called to
the published statement that he was
making preparations for a bond Issue,
and that the bureau ot engraving and
printing was preparing the plates. The
secretary pronounced the statement
unqualifiedly false. No such action
has even been considered, be said.
AX OFFICE K OF THE MAINE
Argues That the Vessel Was Blown
Cp by Den turn.
Key West. Fla., March L The wit
nesses before the court; of Inquiry Into
the Maine disaster yesterday were
Lieutenants Bland! n, Hood, Jungen,
Illow and Homan, Lieutenant of Ma
rines Call In. Cadets Bronson and
Boyd, Boatswain Larkin, Gunner Hill
and Carpenter Holmes. Few know more
than was known before the court
opened. An officer of the Maine, how
ever, who had been examined by the
court during the day, talked at length
with a correspondent.
"I can't tell you," he said, "what
line ot questioning was adopted, but
the court will And, I believe, that the
Maine was blown up by design, though
I don't think It will be able to ascer
tain exactly how. The court's finding
wUl be based on negative rather than
positive evidence.
"By this I mean that all the testi
mony heard so far has, bit by bit,
upset the theories of those who think
the explosion was of internal origin.
This negitlve evidence Is so strong and
so general that I see no possibility ot
the court deciding that the explosion
was Internal. The only alternative left
for the court Is to faU back on evi
dence which points to the intentional
blowing up of the Maine. This, I
think, will be done, unless the court
formulates a theory of Its own or de
clares that It does not know how the
disaster occurred, both of which con
jectures I think Improbable."
As bearing on the value of the opin
ion of the officer In question, it must
be borne In mind that he was before
the court for about IS minutes only,
and that he has at all times expressed
himself as confident that the explosion
was not due to an accident.
Members of the court, when the
substance of the Interview was brought
to their attention, declined to have
anything to say. All the high naval
and military officials here, when asked
crucial questions, politely profess Ig
norance. Tonth flared From Execution.

Philadelphia. Feb. 28. William M.
Btngerly died suddenly at his residence,
1701 Locust street, yesterday afternoon.
Heart disease was the immediate cause
of death. Mr. Slngerly had been suf
fering for about ten days from a cold,
and had remained at home since last
Wednesday, although his indisposition
was in no way serious. While sitting
In his bedroom smoking a cigar he was !
seised with a violent fit of coughing,
and Immediately afterwards fell over
dead. In the room at the time were
Mr. Slngerly's granddaughter, Mlrs
Mabel Slngerly Meredith, and two ser
vants. His son-in-law, James S. Mc
Cartney, had left a few moments be
fore the sudden end came, leaving Mr.
Slngerly apparently In good health,
apart from his slight cold.
The physicians say they had fre
quently cautioned Mr. Slngerly that
his heart was weak as a result of ex
cessive smoking, and of late his cus
tom was to take a "dry smoke." Yes-
THE LATE WM. M. 8INOERLT.
terday, however, his cigar was lighted,
and it Is thought that the smoke
brought on the coughing spell, the se
verity of which ruptured a vessel of
the heart.
Mr. Slngerly leaves a daughter, Mrs.
E. Slngerly Batch, who Is at present
touring Europe.
William M. Slngerly waa president of
The Record Publishing company, presi
dent of the Chestnut Street National
bank and the Chestnut Street Savings
Fund and Trust company, which re
cently collapsed, and president of the
Slngerly pulp and paper mill. He was
member of the Falrmount Park com
mission, and until lately Its treasurer,
and a trustee of the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum.
Mr. Slngerly was born in this city
oa Dec. 27, 1832, and, with the exception
of a. brief period In his early manhood,
when he canducted a commission busi
ness In Chicago, has lived here ever
stnee. His father, Joseph Slngerly, was
one ot the originators of the street
railway system of Philadelphia, and
William returned here to assume the
management of the Germsntown Pas
senger Railway company. In 1877 he
bought The Record, then a compara
tively feeble Journal, and brought It to
its present standard.

THE DEPUTIES'
!
la Their Trial For the Shooting of
Striker, at Lattimer. ,
FAMILIE3 TIED IN TIEEOE.
Oue Woman of Lattimer Went With
Her Children at Two O'clock In the
Morning to Mllnenvllle, Fenrtim the
Htrlkera Would Illow I'p the Town.
Wlikesbarre. Pa., Feb. 28. The de
fense in the caso against Sheriff Mar
tin and his deputies, on trial for the
shootinff of strikers at Lattimer last
September, is producing strong evi
dence to show that the rioters had
been riotous and threatening for some
time previous to the fatal encounter.
Many witnesses testified that they had
bcen '"reed by threats to Join the
strikers' ranks, while others who re
fused were brutally beaten. A score or
more witnesses have testilled that
some of the strikers were armed with
revolvers, and several swore that th.
first shots at Itttlmei were fired from
the strikers' ranks.
On Wednesday last Jacob Wllllamx,
timekeeper of the Cranberry broker,
described an attuck by strikers n that
breaker on Sept. S. when they also
stopped a coal train and stoned the
crew. On Friday Sheriff Selllzer. of
Carbon county, told of his defense of
Coxe'a breaker at Heaver Meadow. Just
inside ot the Carbon county line. Sher
iff Martin and his deputies were near
by, and Selllzer called upon them.
Martin Instructed his deputies not to
shoot except In defense of their own
Uvea.
On Saturday one of the chief wit
nesses was Mrs. Elisabeth Harvey,
wife of a Lattimer physician. She told
how the armed strikers terrorized the
entire town on 8ept. 7, and were chased
away by the deputies. Everybody In
Lattimer, Mrs. Harvey said, was afraid
of the strikers. The witness was so
frightened that she collapsed and was
unable to sleep for several nights. She
sank down on her knees through frlgbt
when she beheld the strikers coming
on Sept. 10. Mrs. Annie Goodwin. Mrs.
Madge Kilmer, and Mrs. Genevieve
Wackley g-ve Similar testimony.
Monday ot this week Miss, Cora
Henlback, 18 years old, was the first
witness. She testified to the terror
inspired by the strikers, and said that
wnen sne heard the strikers were
coming she went to the schoolhouse
and took her little sister home.
' Mrs. Katherine Craig described the
fright of her children when the strik
ers appeared, and declared that the
strikers crowded past the sheriff and
were going toward the deputies when
the fatal volley was fired. At t o'clock
the next morning, fearing the strikers
would blow up the town, she and her
family went to Mllnesvllle.
Other witnesses testified that a num
ber of the strikers were armed with
revolvers. Benjamin Norrls, a motor
man on the trelley line, testified to
bringing the de'ad and wounded to
Hasleton, and as to the finding of an
empty pistol in the coat of one of the
dead men.
Stephen Guttenmlller gave the first
evidence to substantiate the assertion
of the defense that a man stood be
hind the line ot deputies and urged the
strikers on. He said: "I was driving
from West Hazleton to Lattimer and
got there Just as the deputies lined up
along the roadside. I stood some lit
tle distance behind them and saw
the strikers coming up. As they ap
proached I saw a man standing be
hind the deputies. He was a big fel
