' ' - 11 1 n 1 -i Washington, FolJ. lS.--The (tovcrn- ment has settled back into ,a', .waiiins attitude in respect, ito the terrlhie mnj rine disaster in HaA'aria harbor. Thd great shock caused by the hews IjHs) given way to a paltrier nnd nipr'q Jvi-( dlcial state of mind, and realizing tram events of the dayHhat the couvt of ln qulry is the sole'"celiertailllt'ei in .the search for the cause of the Mat'ne's loss, the naval officials art now to" signed to wait tho results ot' that lit qulry by a court named yesterday by1 the navy department. There- was lit tle new to add to the sum of lnff.rma- tlon as to the disaster, ah tnat, fiouyr be gleaned was a denial of some ab surd story or other that had crept Into print or become ourrunt gossipr-AH the news of the day came In the'lnth afternoon in the shape ot Captain 'Slgs bee's report of the authorization of the funeral of his dead sailors, and Gen eral Lee's graphlo story of the terrfr ble struggle for life in the dark hull of the Maine. The oillctils at the navy department devoted the day to the effort to correct tho lists of living nnd dead, to answer ing frantic telegraphic appeals from relatives of men on the battleship, and last, but not least. In meeting with unt- wavering courtesy nnd patience the dx" acting demands upon their time of the press representatives. The disposition of the survivors Captain Dickens, act ing chief of the navigation bureau, hap arranged for as well as could be from this distance. The wounded sailors, in the Havana hospitals, on tho Spariish flagship and elsewhere, when not In condition to be brought back to Key West, will be carefully looked after 'by Miss Clara Barton, who has been glvefl carte blanche to buy any nnd every-; thing necessary food, clothing, dell cacles and hire of nurses and physi cians. The wounded able to get acros to Key West will be taken care of In tho Marine hospital there. The sound survivors will bo quartered In the spare army barracks there. As for tho Maine herself, notwith standing discouraging reports as to her condition, the navy department will make the effort to raise her. While this 13 required by every creditable sentiment, they say that they are bound to remove the hull from the small hnrlior In any case, and it may be as easy or easier to rals'e her as it would be to destroy the hull nnd ma chinery by the use of divers and dyna mite. It Is believed that this work can best be dono by private working corporations, nnd negotiations nre al ready afoot for placing the contract, based on work by the day, at an esti mated cost of $200,000. At the navy department specific de nial was given of the report emanating from Madrid that a torpedo flotilla was about to leave Key West for Cuba. It was stated that only two torpedo boats, the Cushlng and the Ericsson, are at Key West, and these havo not been ordered and will not be ordered, ac cording to present plans, to Cuba. It was strongly asserted that no present purpose existed of sending nny war Bhlp there. Senor DuIJoslo, the Spanish charge, lias received no instructions us to go ing to Now York and stopping the Spanish "ship Vlzcaya from entering the port, and reports to this effect are discredited. It Is said at the department that the naval court of Inquiry which Is to in vestigate the disaster can scarcely as semble for the work at llavuna before next Monday. The navy department received a dis patch yesterday from Admiral Slcard, In command of the North Atlantic squadron, giving the detail of the court of Inquiry to Investigate tho Maine dls aster, as follows: Captain Sampson, president of the court; Captain Chad wick, Lieutenant Commander Schroeder and Lloutennnt Commander Marlx, The navy department authorizes a denial of the statement attributed to 1 Captain Plgsbeo that he recommended 1 Jo the department before ho sailed for iiavauu mm jiu "ui buiii iimii inu Maine bo sent to Havana, because the harbor was too dangerous, owing to the number of torpedoes planted In the bot tom. As a matter of fact Captain Slgs beo hnd not the slightest hint given him that his ship was to be selected for the visit 12 hours before hlB depart ure.
