Washington, Feb. 21. The naval court of Inquiry appointed to Investi gate the Maine disaster begins Its work at Havana today. This news came to the navy department yesterday from Admiral Slcard, at Key West. This prompt action Is undouhtedly due to the express direction of Secretary Long to have the Investigation begun at the earliest possible moment. By an error Incident to the haste with which the orders were Rotten out the first ac counts placed Lieutenant Commander Seaton Schroeder on the board as the third member, while as a matter of fact Lieutenant Commander Potter, the ex ecutive officer of the flagship New York, holds that place. The board un doubtedly would have started previ ously, but for tho necessity of awaiting the arrival at Key West frojn Wash ington of Lieutenant Commander Marlx, a naval officer well skilled In the Intricacies' of marine law, who is to be Judge advocate of the court. Captain Slgsbee was heard from late Saturday night, but the telegram was not delivered at the navy department until yesterday morning. Ills message read as fullows: "Only most experienced wrecking divers can do effective work on the Maine. In the upper works I can use service divers. Did some work today, but with little success. Will do better tomorrow. Parts of the Maine, es pecially the superstructure and connec tions, are one confused mass of metal." Another brief telegram from Captain Slgsbee announces the arrival of the cpast survey steamer Baehe at Ha vana, bringing on board all of the div ing apparatus sent from tho squadron. The statement relative to experienced divers Is explained at the navy depart ment as no reflection upon the men now engaged at work, they being en listed men belonging to the navy. It the practice on board of men-of-war to assign a few men, always volunteers, on account of the hazardous nature of the work, to duty as divers, In connec tion with their regular work. The Bcope of their work rarely carries them deeper than 25 feet Into the water, and It is said that for operations In deeper water, such as would he Involved In the examination of the Maine's bottom, their training has not fitted them. They are also lacking In that kind of skill necessary to enable a diver to grope his way safely through the Internal parts of a mighty ship like the Maine, torn and dismembered as she is, and this work is highly dangerous. It is to meet just this emergency that the navy department Is making every effort to hasten the beginning of the work of recovery of goods and perhaps the raising of the hull by professionals, To that end Captain Lemly, the Judge advocate general of the department, was at work yesterday In his ofllco with representatives of wrecking companies trying to draw up contracts foihe im mediate prosecution of the work. The task has not been easy to dispose of, owing to an apparent disposition on the part of at least one of the concerns to drive a hard bargain, leaving the de partment in the dark as to the amount of money to he paid for their services But It Is declared that the obstacles have now been surmounted, and that the contracts can be signed today. Tho companies will be paid on the Bcale of day's work, with a provision for a bonus If they succeed In raising the vessel, thus ensuring the recovery of as much of the valuable equipment as Is possible, Bhould It not be practi cable to float the Maine again. Great difficulty Is expected In recovering the big ten-Inch turret guns, each worth $10,000, owing not only to their weight, BO tons apiece, without carriages, but to the enormous turrets enclosing them with 100 tons of Bteel. The photographs taken of tho wreck were studied with much Interest by the naval officers here. Great surprise was expressed at the extent of the wreck, and the vast mass of steel ana iron heaped In the forward part of the Bhlp was a particular object of attention The experts who had llrst ventured tho theory of a bursting holler as the cause of tho destruction claim to find strong reinforcement In the pictures for that belief. Ab to what caused a boiler to explode, whether a disguised bomb In the coal, low water or faulty construc tion, they do not now undertake to say, When Secretary Long's attention was called to reports that he had taken or flclal cognizance of Captain Sobral's criticisms of the American navy the secretary sold that ho had called the subject to the attention of the state de- nartment, with a view to having an Inquiry made by that branch. The par ticular expression to which the secre tary has directed the attention of the state department was the following, at tributed to Captuln bobrai: "It was the result of an explosion In side of tht ship, which took placo In one of the forward magazines. Tho facfof the matter Is that the discipline and the watch observed on the Bhlp were very lax. This, as one English newspaper the other day declared, Is the case on American warships g-encr ally. This sort of thing has occurred on previous occasions ou American war vessels,' The secretary said that ho had not calfed attention to those other features of Captain Sobral's alleged Interview In which he refers to the possibilities o war, and to the Information ho had trained while naval attache of tho Span Ish legation. tB a wnoiu wi. ijhs um not treat the Sobral matter as pro foundly serious. It Is understood that the state de partment does not attach deep signifi cance to the reported remarks of Bo brai, owing to his minor position. An unexpected development of yesterday eo changes the aspect of the Sobral case that the state department may not feel that It Is necessary to proceed further. This development was that Captain Sobral s services as naval attache at Washington were officially terminated by Spain about four weeks ago. It came from Senor Du Bosc, charge d'affaires of the Spanish legation, who sold fur ther: 'As regards this reported Interview I know nothing about It beyond what I have seen In tho papers. I should Im agine Mr. Sobral far too prudent to say anything calculated to offend brothers In arms." Captain Sobral at present occupies the position merely of a private citi zen. He Is at. present In New York, meeting his old naval friends on the Vlzcaya, but his official status as Spain's naval attache to the legation was terminated when the decree was gazetted last month. SALUTING) Till! VIZCAYA. Governor's Inland Fires n Wolcomoot Twonty-ono (Jims. New York, Feb. 21. The Spanish cruiser Vlzcaya came up the bay yes terday afternoon, arriving In the Nar rows at 3 p. m., flying the American Hag from the main truck and preceded by the steam pilot boat New York. On arrival at the Narrows a salute of 21 guns was fired. As soon as the salute was finished the American flag was hauled down. Health Officer Doty, with the boat Governor Flower, ran alongside, asked the customary ques tions and received tho bills of health and the assurance that all were well and had been well since leaving Spain. The Vlzcaya's salute was not returned from either Fort Wadsworth or Fort Hamilton. Surgeon Jurado. of the Vlzcaya, reported that the Vlzcaya had 18 offlcers and 4GG crew, making a total of 481 on board. Two tugs loaded with newspaper re porters accompanied the vessel through the Narrows. Hundreds of people lined the adjacent shores. The soldiers t the forts could be seen sur rounding tho guns on the steep bluCs at Fort Wadsworth. The Vlzcaya an chored oft Tompkinsville.Staten Island. iVt 4 p. m. Castle William, on Gov ernor's Island, saluted the Spanish cruiser Vlzcaya with the customary 21 guns. Neither Fort Wadsworth nor Fort Hamilton fired a salute. They have not done so In recent years. As soon as the Vlzcaya was anchored several boats In the vicinity made to ward her, but they were quickly warn ed oft by the naval vessels appointed to guard the visitor, and backed away to a respectable distance. Subsequent ly, however, by Invitation of the Span ish commander, a number of newspa per men visited the vessel. In an interview with the press repre sentatives Captain Eulate said that while his ship was In this port his of flcers would accept no Invitations of any kind. The Spanish warship had como here on a visit of courtesy and friendship, and when the dreadful ac cident to the Maine was learned tho flags were put at half most, and there they would remain until the ship took her departure. Ho likened his visit to that of one Intimate friend to another, when disaster had overtaken the latter, the same delicacy dictated what to do, to mourn with the friend and to avoid all festivity. No Invitations of a social character would bo accepted. COMMAN'DKH HAItNKTT'S VIEW. Thinks tho Forward Mnirnzluo Did Not Mow Up First. Havana, Feb. 21. Lieutenant Com mander Barnett, of the survey boat Bache, said to a press correspondent yesterday: "You want the facts. I can tell you there are ninety-five chances out of a hundred that tho Investiga tion will show that the forward maga zine of the Maine did not blow up first. If It exploded at all, and that It was not the cause of the consequences that followod. The condition of the wreck when first studied and later a careful scrutiny make this an almost absolute certainty." Chaplain Chldwlck, of tho Maine, has recovered considerable sums of money with letters and other peisonal prop erty from tho bodies taken from the wreck. In one case the Initials can be Been on the coat lining, and may serve to identify the body of the wearer, but the hurbor water Is so filthy that the marks are nearly Illegible. Chaplain Chldwlck Is one of the hardest worked officers, and upon him devolves some of the most repulsive duties of the sit uation. Some friction. It Is reported, haB oc curred between Consul General Leo and tho other United States consuls In the Island over the distribution of food and supplies sent from the United States for the reconcentrados. The complaint Is mado that, though food and money have been coming for several weeks, nothing has been distributed outside of Havana province. Consul Barker, of Sagua la Grande, and Consul Brlce, of Matanzas, who came hero to learn the particulars of tho Maine explosion, left. It is said, without calling on the consul general. The reason given was that they felt they had not been treated fairly. Each expected aid for his district from the American supplies, but received none. The statement Is made that It Is their Intention to appeal directly to the American state department, and to ask that food be consigned to them Instead of to the Havana consulate. 500 men's aud boys' pauts, actual cost f2J to fl.00, for the noxt 10 days you can havi any pair at $1.20. At Samuel Block's. tf ran POWDER Absolutely Puro REPORT Inspector Stein's Statistics For the sixth Anthracite District. COMMENT ON MINE OPERATIONS I Tho Inspector Says Nine-Tenths or the Accidents Are Due to Inexperience and Recklessness Foremen Also Rapped on the Knuckles For Laxity. Mino Inspector William Stein to day for warded to tho State Department of MineK his annual report ou tho operations in tho Sixth Anthracite District aud befure doing so favored tho local press with a copy of tho statistics embraced in the report. In an interview bearing upon his observa tions in tho district during tho past year. In spector Stein said to a IIkkami rfportcr to day that during ISO" there wore 0 more fatal and 20 moro non-fatal accidents in his dis trict than there wero iu IStW. There was al so an increase of 77 in iho number of em ployes during lbU7 and a decrease of 13,8511 tons in the production of coal. "Tho causes producing so many accidents." said Inspector Stciu, "must be quite apparent to all skillful miners. Nine-tenths of them i tho result of inexperienced or reckless mining of coal. Tho law is mandatory that tho operator should provide for tho safety of its workmen, and that is practically carried out, yet the accidents seem to bo iucreasing, aud we look for no improvement unloss we havo men practically taught to detect the dancer incident to tho mining of coal as it presents itself, aud at tho s.uuo timo ho able to avoid that danger." .Mr. Stein also statod that it is very notice able that the Keneral condition of tho cl llorfes in his district aro being yearly im proved, and it is a'.so ery apparent that the coal companies are making a study whereby the lives of their workmen may bo best pro tected against danger. Iu further commenting in the interview on accidents Inspector Stein said that during 18U7 there wero no unusual accidents result iK in tho loss of moro than two lives at one time, yet some of the mino ollicials do not put forth the efforts they should to avoid at least some of tho accidents. "It seems," said tho Inspector, "that somo of tho mino foremen aro rather impressed with tho idea that, having been qualified by tho mino board of examiners, the miner him self is responsible for his own safety, in so far as the actual cutting of coal is concerned." I lie Inspector added that a mine foreman cannot bo expected to suporviso tho actual tnTuingofcoalina.il bis mino openinKS, yet accidents havo occurred during the ysar wheru tlie uuno lortman was, to some extent, culpa ble to tho accident, in that his discipline was laxative in not enforcing tho Instructions given him by his suporiors and seeing that they wero obeyed. When a mine accident occurs, killing from livo to twenty men, it strikes into the hearts of a discerning com munity. Hut when one man is killed iu that or this colliery until the death rate reaches 10 a month, or 73 a year, wo aro sometimes too apt to give it but very little thought and. to tho minds of some, it seems a matter of course.
