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. Ottawa, March 1.

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. In 1877, upon the retirement of Gov ernor Pattison from office, Mr. Slngerly tor'V.H!"''.

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 low, and had no coat on. I saw him wave his arm and beckon to the strik en to come on. They did so.
