Should the Report he Verified by Govern

the United States and Spain
Seems Imminent.
Special to Kvi:si.'Oi Herald.
Key West, Fla., Feb. 17, 2 p. in. N.
W. Wcathcrford, regular correspondent
for Associated Press, arrived hoie ou tho
Olivette from the scene of the wrecked
cruiser Maine. He says divers working
about tho battleship's bottom have dis
coveicd an eight inch percussion hole in
her plato. All proofs of torpedo work
will be removed from tho wreck.
There seems to he no doubt now that
the Maino was blown up by a torpedo,
but the government at Washington will
not accept this theory as final until tho
divers produco conclusive preof. Should
this be forthcoming war between the
United States and Spain will be inevit
able. Admiral Manterola has summoned Cap
tain Siiisbce to make depositions.
Havana, Feb. 17. The disaster which
befel the United States battleship
Maine on Tuesday was much more ap
palling than first reports indicated. It
Is now announced, and was so tele
graphed to Washington by Captain
Slgsbee, that of the 354 sailors on board
the Maine at the time of the disaster,
only 96 escaped with their lives, and of
these many are frightfully wounded.
Tho large number of deaths reported
among tho crew of the Maine Is said
to be due to the fact that most of them
were alseep below at the time of the
explosion. Most of the officers saved
were dining on board the City of Wash
ington. Three sailors who escaped fell
senseless just as they reached a place
of safety.
One of the Maine's officers who Is be
ing cared for at the sanitary headquar
ters Is seriously wounded. He Is very
young, and Is believed to have been tho
otllcer on guard at the time of the dis
aster. Ho Is said to have asked for a
priest to make his confession.
It Is reported here that tho disaster
was due to tho explosion of tho boiler
of the dynamo machine on board the
Maine.
Tho Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII was
for some time after the explosion in
great peril, and her mooring: tackles
were slacked awny and she was an
ehored at a great distance from the
burning warship, being assisted by
other Spanish vessels. She then lower
ed her boats and took part In the work
of rescue.
The Maine at the time of the explo
sion was anchored about 500 yards
from the arsenal and some 200 yards
from the floating dock. The explosion
put out the Btreet lights near the wharf,
and blew down telephone and telegraph
wires In that vicinity. The first ex
plosion Is said to have been caused by
over 600 pounds of gun cotton, and the
subsequent explosion Is alleged to have
been caused by shells and cartridges
Among the saved on board the City
of WnshingtorTTs a Mr. Dressier (Gus-
tav C. Dressier, of the Maine?) who
has 1 -it both eyes. Tho passengers of
the City of Washington gave up their
Btate rooms to the Injured men of the
American warship. -
The first of the American sailors to
reach the Machlna wharf swam there
All the navy fire brigade and the
navy physicians were immediately or
dered on duty. Stretchers for the use of
tho wounded were sent to the scene by
the fire brigade, and the headquarters
of the Bed Cross society was called
upon to send four stretchers, and men
were sent to patrol the scene ol tne
disaster and Dick up the dead and
wounded.
Captain Slgsbee yesterday sent
message to Commandant Forsyth, of
the naval station at Key West, Fla,
which read: "Advise sending American
vessel at once. Tho Maine is submerg
ed except the debris. Mostly work for
divers. Jenkins and Merrltt are sun
missing, and there is but little hope for
their safety. Those known to have
been saved are the ofllcers nnd 24 un
injured of the crew. Eighteen wounded
men are now on board the Ward lino
steamer. In the city hospital nnd at the
Mnscotte hotel, CO so far as known, All
the others went down on board or near
the Maine. The total lost or missing Is
268. With several exceptions, no of
ficer or man has more than part of a
eutt of clothing, and that Is wet with
harbor water. The ollleers saved aro
uninjured. The damage was In tho
compartments of tho crow. Am pre
paring to telegraph list of saved and
wounded.
Captain Slgsbee, Interviewed last
evening by a press correspondent with
reference to tho cause of tno explosion,
Bald:
"I cannot yet determine the cause,
but competent Investigators will decide
whether the explosion was produced
from an Intel lor or exterior cause. I
cannot say anything until after such
on Investigation has been made. I will
not and connot conscientiously antici
pate the decision, nor do I wish to make
any unjust estimate of the reason for
the disaster."
Lieutenant Commander Wnlnwrlght,
of the Maine, was half undressed at
9:45 p. m and wns smoking In his
cabin, next to that of Captain Slgsbee,
It Is said, when the explosion occurred
and put out the electric lights. lieu
tenant Commander Walnwftght thrUt
a maten an& ivent to Vaptair. s;zr- -cabin.
The captain. It appears, had
been thrown from his bed, but was un
injured. They both went on deck and
ordered some of tho men to flood 2,500
pounds of gun cotton which was on
board. The order was carried out, but
the men never returned. Havana, how
ever, was saved from n still more ter
rible explosion.
Four boats were lowered, all manned
by ofllcers, and one of them was lost.
A correspondent of American news
papers has just telegraphed as fol
lows: "I have just seen 29 sailors of the
Maine silently enduring the tortuie
caused by powder skinned faces and
bodies, broken bones and mangled
flesh. They are being well cared for In
the military hospital of San Ambroslo
here. The less severely Injured men
will have the best of attention also
from tho men and women of the Amer
ican colony. All the Injured men show
great grit. You cannot hear a whimper
from one of the 29 swathed forms In
Ban Ambroslo hospital, nor from those
anywhere else.
Out In tho bay Ilea the wreck of the
Dnce proud Maine. Her steel upper deck
forward has ben completely lifted and
turned over on her starboard side, and
none of the big guns In the turrets uro
visible. Tho big funcls He flat upon the
twisted and gnarled Iron braces and
pieces of steel deck. From tho funnels
aft the ship seems to be Intact. She
has settled until the water has covered
the top of her superstructure, and the
stern searchlight and tho rapid fire gun
look over the water Just below them.
A vigilant lookout Is being kept for
bodies. Out of 53 Injured not over four
are likely to die. All but five ofllcers
went yesterday to Key West. All the
slightly wounded and all the able bod
led went also, with the exception of a
few, who are kept here to identify bod
ies when thev are secured by the
divers."
The following cablegram was sent to
the Washington authorities last night
by Consul General Lee:
'Profound sorrow expressed by the
government and municipal authorities,
consuls of foreign nations, organized
bodies of all sorts and citizens gener
ally. Flags at half mast on governor
general's palace, on shipping in har
bor and in city. Business suspended
and theatres closed. The dead number
60. Ofllcers' quarters being In rear,
and seamen's forward, where explosion
took place, accounts for greater pro
portional loss of sailors. Suppose you
ask that naval court of Inquiry be held
to ascertain cause of explosion. Hope
our people will repress excitement and
calmly await, decision."
ADM I HAL 1ti:LltX'AI"S SUSPICION
Ho TliInkH tlio l!ntttclil Was Illown
Up by n Torpedo.
Boston, Feb. 17. Hear Admiral G. E.
Belknap, U. S. N., retired, said yester
day that he was inclined to think that
tho Maine was blown up by a torpedo.
'I do not see," he said, "how an ex
plosion of the forward magazine could
have occurred. The keys of the maga
zine are always kept In the custody of
the captain. All the ammunition Is
carefully cased, mostly In the form of
projectiles, and their explosion by
themselves is next to impossible. If,
as the dispatches state, the whole bow
of the ship was blown off, It Is appar
ent that the explosion could not have
been caused by the boilers or the coal
getting heated. I do not see how It
could have occurred from the paint
room, as every precaution Is taken to
prevent the collection of explosive
gases In the paint room, and if such an
explosion occurred It would have been
more likely to have caused a fire than
destroy the ship."
Hear Admiral Belknap said It was a
very significant thing that the Maine
should be blown up In that particular
harbor at this particular time. In the
absence of Information as to the cause
of the explosion he thought that was
the most significant Indication in the
whole matter.

Washington, Feb. 17. After a day of
Intense excitement at the navy depart
ment and elsewhere growing out of the
destruction of the battleship Maine In
Havana harbor Tuesday night, the sit
uation after the exchange of a num
ber of cablegrams between Washing
ton and Havana can be summed up In
the words of Secretary Long, who when
asked as he was about to depart for
the day whether he had reason to sus
pect that the disaster was the work of
an enemy, replied: "I do not, In that
I am influenced by the fact that Cap
tain Slgsbee has not yet reported to tho
navy department on the cause. Ho
Is evidently waiting to write a full re
port. So long as he does not express
himself, I certnlnly cannot. I should
think from the indications, however.
that there was an accident that the
magazine exploded. How that came
about I do not know. For the present
at least, no other warship will be sent
to Havana."
There are a great number of theories,
but most of them are of a character
that makcB It easy to prove or upset
them by a simple Investigation of a
diver. Secretary Long has taken Im
mediate steps to make this lnvestlga
tlon. Late yesterday afternoon he tele
graphed to Admiral Slcard, at Key
West, to appoint a board of naval of
ficers to proceed at once to Havana,
employ divers and generally to make
such an Inquiry as the regulations of
the navy demand shall be made in the
case of the loss of a ship. It Is ex
pected that this work will take some
time, and while there are ofllcers who
Bay that In their opinion it will not be
possible, owing to the probably dlS'
rupted condition of the hull of the ship,

AN ELECTION OF NEW OFFICERS.

Vote of Thanks For the Ke
ctptlon and Care of
Delegates.
The Schuylkill County Sabbath School
Convention was concluded In the Methodist
Kpiscopal church last evening, after holding
four vory successful sessions.
Tli closing meetings were fully as inter
esting and instructive fur Sunday school
touchers and others interested in the work ae
any of the preceding sessions. Tbcro was a
largo attendance in the I'nltcd Evangelical
church on North Jardin street yesterday
afternoon, when Itovs. I'irey and Kastinan,
of Pottsville, Iloit, of Ashland, and Mrs. J.
W. liarnos, occupied the platform. All tho
subjects discussed and demonstrated had a
direct bearing upon tho organization and
caro of Sunday school classes aud the methods
that should bo udopted by the teachers.
liov. Eastman conducted what ho called a
conference on "Teachers' Meetings" and did
t in such a skillful manner that ho held the
undivided attontion of the entire audience
for some time. Itev. Kastman showed that
he had oxperionce with such meetiugs and
his humorous sallies were much enioved.
Tho subject was divided into a sorlea of
questions, such as : Should teachers' meet
ing, be held? Can they be held? What
shun Id bo tho purpose? When tho time nnd
place? Who should conduct them, etc. ?
It was an open discussion and manv of the
clergymen and others took part ill it, giving
meir experience aim ottering suggestions.
One gentleman of the cloth wanted to know
if tbu presence of teachers was osvential to a
teachers' meeti.ig? I!ev. r-istinan was some
what staggered by tho problem until tho in
terrogator added that he put the question
on account of so many teachers thii.klmr
that their presence was not essential.
I bo results of tho discussion woru tho con-
elusions that Uachers' meetings mav have
four purposes: Devotional, preparation for
teaching, discussion of matters bearing on
the welfare of tho school, and social inter
course. The tiuio for meeting is depen
dent in a great measure unon thu
locality. As to the place, Mrs. liirues
thought very successful meetings could Im
held at tho homes of the teacheis, ineetinirs
being hold alternately, without formality,
and the teachers seated around '.bo dining
room tame, in roeliing-cliairs, or some other
hoine-liko and comfortablo arrangoment.
Mrs. liarncs slid sho knew of most successful
meetings conducted in this manner. As to
who shall conduct the meetings, Ifev. Charlos
lioads, 1). U., said ho did not think the
pastors, or teachers, were always the best to
take charge The best person that can bo
seemed should be selected for tho purpose.
jiev. tasttnan sain that in such moetitiss
not only the lesson is to be considered at the
teachers' meeting, but also the method for
preaching it to the pupils. That wuuld be
the principal object of tho meeting, piesum
Ing that tho teachers study tho lessons them
selves previously.
Upon the closo of tho conference Mrs.
Ilarnos took a class of children in hand and
piocccdod to show the teachers aud other
delegates what she deemed a model anil
effective method by which to teach a primary
lesson, jus. names openod with a short
prayer, following it with a brief storv cal-
culated to excite tho attention and interest
of children, and gradually brought about a
connection of tho story with tho bible lesson
lor tho day. In doing this Mrs. Iiarnos
made use of blackboard demonstrations and
in a few minutes had the class familiar with
tho entire lesson and tho full meaning of the
text. Mrs. liarues was comnlinicutcd bv the
audience.
