AMERICAN OFFICIAL'S OPINION.
If It Is I'rovcm That the Disaster Wns

Speedily Follow Havana Would Sur
romlor to Admiral Slcord's Demand
Without tlio Necosxlty or Flrlim a
a Shot, Though If Xocesonry tho

Havana, Feb. 2 1. The situation, which
may be chanced at any moment by
fresh discoveries, may be summed up,
when this dispatch Is sent, substanti
ally os follows:
The divers have discovered cases of
brown hexagonate powder for the 10
inch guns unexploded, and believing
also that others unexploded will be
found In the 10-Inch magazine on the
starboard side forward, the conviction
grows that this magazine did not blow
up. If this be so, and many have In
sisted from the first that It Is, the fur
ther conviction Is forced that the ex
plosion which wrecked the Maine came
from the outside, on the port bow.
As previously wired, the main por
tlon of the wreck, as seen from above
and noted from below, was blown to
starboard.
Tho highest American ofllclals here
are confident that General Dlanco and
the other high Spanish ofllclals had no
knowledge, direct or Indirect, of the
conception or execution of a plot to
blow up the Maine, If such a plot ex
isted, but they believe the Junior Span
ish officers, who, from the nature of
things, ore more conversant with
modern explosives than their elders and
superiors, were at the bottom of the
disaster, If there were any outside
agency. It is pointed out that it would
not be Impossible to plant a mine of
wet and dry gun cotton near where
foreign war vessel was directed to
anchor, such a mine communicating
with an electric battery on the shore,
It Is regarded as an Interesting point
that the Maine, for the first time dur
ing her stay in the harbor, lay at the
particular spot where she was at the
time of the catastrophe, and It Is said,
though not officially verified, that tho
Maine was the first foreign war vessel
moored to this particular buoy since
the troubles In Cuba grew acute.
All stories as to lax discipline on the
Maine are without a shadow of truth
On the contrary, Captain Slgsbee was
camplalned of by some for the rigidity
of his rules, and the Btrlctness with
which he enforced them. Moreover, the
Maine has been In commission for
years, and never had a serious accident
until anchored In this quiet harbor.
In reply to a question put by this cor
respondent to a high American official
as to what the outcome would be If It
were proved that the disaster was duo
to an outside agency, the official In
question said:
Sir, the American people could not
be restrained. I mean war. Still
doubt whether It would le necessary
to fire a shot. Admiral Slcard could
anchor the Iowa, the Indiana, the Mass
achusotts and the New York outside
Havana harbor to prevent the Ingress
of the food supplies, without which the
city could not exist a fortnight. Cuba
is a waste of ashes and desolation
Even the hotels and cafes here in Ha
vana live from hand to mouth, on sup
plies brought from the United States.
If Admiral Slcard demanded the sur
render of Havana, giving 24 hours for
the removal of tho women and children
surrender would follow. The forts are
old structures, and could be demolished
by a six pounder. Such new guns as
have been mounted are short of am
munition, and have never been tried
If General Dlanco should decline to sur
render the Spanish merchants here,
who represent 80 per cent of the prop
erty and pay 75 per cent of the taxes
of the Island, would compel him to ac-
cedo to Admiral Slcard's terms. As for
the volunteers, the men are for tho
most part the employes of these mer
chantB and the volunteers' officers are
largely their sons or their Junior part
ners.
It Is well to look these things In the
face. At the same time It Is well for
tho Americans to restrain themselves
until there Is some proof of an outside
agency of explosion. We can afford to
wait a little longer, seeing that we have
waited so long. Wo could not wait af'
ter it had once been proven that the
Maine disaster was tho result of a das
tardly plot. Spanish officers from the
old country hold to tho unaccountable
belief that their arms would overcome
us In a few weekB, but tho Cuban mer
chants have no such delusion, and they
would control the situation. Hence,
believe that no shot from a big Amerl
can gun will be necessary."
These sentiments fairly represent
those of the best informed Americans
here. Any moment, however, may
chronicle discoveries at the wreck that
would change all this. A member o
the court of Inquiry who conversed with
this correspondent yesterday strongly
deprecnted any premature expression or
evidence of resentment on the part of
the people of the United States until
It was proven thot tho dlsuster resulted
from Borne other causa than accident
carelessness or tho visitation of Frovl
dence. Certainly tho members of th
court of Inquiry, cool, experienced and
judicial men. will not lose their heads,
One thing seems certain, if the Maine
was blown by an outside agency, the
agont was a mine, and not a torpeuo,
as no torpedo known coum nave pro
duced such serious results.
A large quantity of clothing has
been taken from tho wreck of tho
Maine, and after u nas ueen am
lnfectd It will lie given to the recon
centrad03. The bodies of the missing
uw i.ioniHiiunt Jenkins and As
slstant Engineer Mermt, nave not necn
recovered. Tho divers reached tho for
mer s room, put the uoay was not there.
Thus far tho sharks have given no
trouble, but the vulture hav left
scarcely anything but skeletons of the
three men who were entangled In the
debris very near the surface of the
water. The bodleB were not noticed by
any one until the foul birds had com
pleted their ghastly work. From the
hand of one Chaplain Chldwlck re
moved a deeply chased ring for pur
poses of Identification.
Chaplain Chldwlck has received a
communication from Mrs. J. P. Kean,
of Chicago, praying for news of Ed
Ward F. Kean, her son. It seems cer
tain that he la among the victims.
Chaplain Chldwlck Bays that the total
number of missing Is 85 or 86, and five
have died In the hospital. Of the miss
ing many doubtless were blown to
atoms, no portions of their bodies be
ing recoverable, and there is much
doubt that any considerable number of
those whose remains are now being re
moved will be Identified.

Washington, Feb, 24. The arrival of
a mall In Washington from Key West
yesterday afternoon bringing several
private letters from naval officers late
ly attached to the Maine caUBed a wave
of excitement to run over the depart
ments and tho Capitol, for there were
all sorts of rumors as to the contents
of these letters, very few of which ru
mors, In point of fact, had any sound
basis. The only feature, so far as could
be discovered, of real importance as
throwing any light on the cause of the
explosion contained In the letters was
the statement that the two after boil
ers In the after boiler space were all
of the eight boilers of the Maine that
were under steam at the time of the
explosion. This fact had a negative
value, for It disposed at once of the
theory that an exploding boiler had
caused the wreck. The experts all say
that by no possibility could the after
boilers' explosion have wrecked the fore
part of the Maine and left the after
part almost unharmed.
Much interest was shown In a dis
patch received shortly before 3 o'clock
from Admiral Slcard giving the recom
mendations of Captain Sampson, of the
court of Inquiry, as to the raising of the
wreck. The view of naval officers was
that Captain Sampson and his assocl
ates were giving this advice not as i
court, but as officers In a position to
speak as the best methods to be adopt
ed. Various Interpretations were put on
the expression "forward half complete
ly destroyed." This was regarded as
a partial confirmation of the theory
that the forward magazine had ex
ploded, as that Is one of the most lm
portant portions of the forward halt
of the ship. At the same time It was
held by some naval authorities that the
destruction of tho forward half of the
ship did not necessarily mean that the
forward magazine had exploded, as
this might be still Intact, although a
part of the general wreckage.
Captain Sampson s recommendation
that a contract be made with the best
equipped wrecking company to remove
material and lift the ship without de
lay was in lino with the action already
taken In closing a contract with the
two largest wrecking companies In the
country, by which their combined fa
cllltles will bo at the service of tho
government. A clause of the contract
Itemizes the amounts to bo paid for
each branch of wrecking work, viz
Wrecking tug Underwriter, 150 per
day; wrecking steamer Jones, $200
lighter Seymour, $75; derrick Chief, $75;
barge Lone Star, $50; wrecking tug
Right Arm, $200; wreck master, $15;
wreckers, $4.50 each; divers,, $30 each.
Evidently tho prefident of the court
of Inquiry Is fearful of the effect on tho
public of 111 Judged attempts to ac
count for tho destruction of the Maine,
for yesterday afternoon he telegraphed
Secretary Long as follows: Any re
ported Interview with divers untrue,
Every precaution has been taken. Of
ficer always present."
This brief statement disposes of all
the allegations that have been made
pro and con as to the blowing up of tho
forward magazines.
The officers here are still thinking of
Captain Slgsbee's request of Tuesday
to be furnished with the plans of the
Maine's section through the magazines
and coal bunker pockets. The refer
ence to the latter Is particularly Inter
esting, and leads to a desire to be In
formed on the exact quantity and qual
Ity of the coal supply at the time of
the explosion. It Is said that these
pocket bunkers are rarely emptied, be
ing designed as much for the protec
tion of the ship against gunshots as
for capacity to hold coal. One expert
said that these bunkers, In his own ex
perlence, had not been emptied In
months. All of this has to do with the
spontaneous combustion theory, as tho
bunkers abut of the magazines might
have set off even the safe brown pow
der If the latter were exposed to a de
gree of heat above 600 degrees for some
time. The request, besides, may show
that Captain Slgsbee Is not yet satisfied
as to the cause of the explosion, not
withstanding the expressions that have
been attributed to him by unauthorized
persons.
The report that Consul General Lee
had advised Americans to quit Havana
Is discredited here, It Is said that the
consul general, In tho course of friendly
talk In Havana with Americans, may
have expressed the view that there are
at present other places more deslrablo
as resorts for persons who have no par
ttcular business there than Havana, but
the state department authorizes the an
noucemnnt that It has not yet been ad
vwied that ho has either officially or
seml-ofllrlally delivered himself of any
expression on the subject. The Spanish
logntlm also discredits tho reports that
General Lee has given such warning.
It Is also said at tho department that
no message has been conveyed to the
owner? of American vessels at New Or
leans or elsewhere that It would not be
safe for them to visit Cuban ports at
this time.
Assistant Secretary of State Day de
nled an interview attributed to him In
which he was reported to have said
that the Americans! In Havana were In
great danger, and that General Lee had
been quite right If he had advised them
to leave the city, "I have not had any
Intimation that General Lee has given
the Americans In Havana any such ad
vice," said Secretary Day, "and I have
not discussed the matter with any one."

THE Mil.
One Man Suffocated In the Mt. Carmel
Fire.
IIS FATE WAS KEPT SECRET!
Efforts to Get the Body From the Burning
Olrard Colliery Have Failed The
Fire More Serious Than the
Officials Admltted-Stlll
Raging.
Mt. Carmcl, Feb. 24. The lire In tho
Glrard colliery, which Is located about half a
mile from this town, has proved more serious
thau was reported yesterday. Tho officials
of the colliery kept the grave features of the
caso from the public. They stated that no
men were missing and that tho fire would bo
extinguished before night.
Tho truth isono man. John Griffiths, the
fire bos is missing and the flro is still rag-
ug. All ellorts to And Griffiths have failed
and it is now quite cortain that his dead body
win ue lounu lu the mine.
The flro originated in tho liuinn house at
tho bottom of the slope, on tho west side,
which connects with the fan way. All the
timbers wore burned out at the bottom of
tbo slopo. Tho coal is very friable and
shelly at this place and when the timbers
were burned a cavo-in occurred. This took
place yestorday afternoon. The pitch of the
slopo is about OS degrees and the coal rushed
from the top of tho timbers for some distance
up the slopo when tho cavo-in occurred. The
coal continued to ft 11, making it necessary
for the men to bo very cautious lu approach-
ng too flro with tho hose and nterferiuL-
considerably with their work.
Repeated attempts wero mado to set to tho
cast side of tho slopo, but tho smoke was so
dense that it wa8 impossible to get further
thau sixty foot from the slope and efforts
mado to got Griffiths' body wero abandoned.
All efforts wore then turned to extinguish
tho fire and renew tho timboring at tho
Bottom or the slopo.
Men wore down on top of tho fallen coal
as far as the gacways leading cast and west,
out tne smoico was so deiso thero that thev
could not proceed further. Last night somo
time was lost on account of tho men buiui!
compelled to retreat by reason of
tlio coal falling, still their work is
progressing very satisfactorily and
It is not believed that the file has reached a
magnitude that will require a flooding of tho
mine. The work of extinguishing tho fire
may take three or four days. If tlio flro on
the west side should reach above its present
point it may bo necesvuy to raiso tho water
as high as tho gangway collars, and prepara
tions nave ueen made to do so should tho
emergency ariso.
The origin of tho fire is still a mvstcrv.
out it is known that It started in tho slope
pump houso. Speculations are rifo that tho
pumpsman, In trimming his lamp, must of
set fire to tome oily cotton waste, or somo of
tlio sparks from tho lamp must havo smoul
dered in the dry timber.
there wero seven men, including tho fire
boss, John Griffith, and David Siorris, the
pumpsmau. At 4:30 yesterday morning all
but tho flro boss ascended tho slope.
lirilntus remained in tho mino after the
night shift to seo that the places were all
right for the day shift. Morris lemalned at
the top of the slope only long eneiigh to pro
cure a few supplies and then started down
the slope. When noariue the bottom ho was

his customary early morning rounds and
detected the smoko coming behind him with
the air current. He was probably making
his way through tho breasts towards the
slopo. He may havo mado an attempt to get
back, but that way would bo cut off by the
smoko and it is not probable that
ho did so. His next nvenuo of oscapo was
to mate his way to the caimwav
westward, and then after traveliug as fast as
ho could he probably reached tlio smokc-fllled
main avenuo, or gangway, and no man could
survive thero long. The current of air was
traveling from 300 to 100 feet a miuuto and
at that rate it would only take about fivo
minutes for tho smoke to reach tho extremo
eastern limits of the colliery (2.200 feet di.
tant) and tho fire boss had very littlo time in
which to escape. Griffiths was about 4
years of ago and loaves a family.
