Havana, Feb. 21. -The United States
steamer Mangrove came into port this
morning with diving apparatus and with
the members of Uie court of inquiry Into
the Maine disaster. The members of the
court are:
Lieut. Commander Adolph Marix, Capt.
Sampson, of the Iowa; Capt. Chadwick,
of the New York; Lieut. Commander Pot
ter, of the New York; Lieut. Commander
Schroeder. of the Mas&achusetts, and
Capt. Taylor, of the Indiana.
At 1 o'clock the court of inquiry con
vened on the Mangrove. Lieut. Com
mander Marix acted as recorder. Capt.
Sigsbee began his testimony- as-soon as
the court was organized.
The session lasted until 3 o'clock. It
was absolutely secret, and it has been
Impossible to learn what conclusion was
reached, if any.
At 3 o'clock Capt. Sampson and Capt.
Sigsbee left the Mangrove and came to
Havana, where they called on Consul
General Lee. They held another long
conference with Mr. Lee, the nature of
which Is also unknown.
Several reports are In circulation. It is
said that" the Bache will sail tomorrow
with an Important dispatch for Admiral
Slcard.
It Is also said that (he court of in
quiry will hold a conference tomorrow
with Gen. Blanco. It is useless to ques
tion any member of the court or Capt.
Sigsbee or Gen. Lee. They dnly answer,
"I don't knc"'."
If a. definite conclusion is reached by
the court about the cause of the disaster
it will be almost impossible to know it
In Havana. Any report from hero about
the conclusions of the court of inquiry
will be mere imagination. That Its ses
sion today was very important is un
doubtedly a fact. Capt. Sigsbee's report
took almost all the time.
After 3 o'clock the divers had to stop
their woik again because of the great
darkness. Today has been one of the
most cloudy days of the season. Besides
the many objects lloatlng inside the
Maine added to the darkness and greatly
hampered the divers in their work.
To prevent all this trouble it "is an
nounced that tomorrow the divers will
carry a wire and place an electric search
light inside the Maine. The wire will be
connected tIth the Mangrove and the
lender's dynamo will be used to throw
the light inside the wrecked battleship.
Today for the first time the divers made
an investigation of the hull of the Maine.
They examined the outside of the hull at
the place where the explosion is said to
have taken place. The divers are also
very careful about talking about their
work. They have received strict orders
to refuse an answer to any question about
the cause of the disaster or the results
of their investigation. Inside the hull of
the ship the divers found many bodies.
About this they talked freely, saying
It was one of the most horrible specta
cles that human sight could endure. All
efforts to recover these bodies were use
less today, so much iron being around
them. The divers will try tomorrow to
bring them up.
' It is said tonight that the divers dis
covered that the "main gunpowder
magazine" did not explode.
It is impossible to determine from these
words whether the correspondent means
the main magazine of the ship or the for
ward magazine. The main magazine of
the Maine was aft of amidships, and in it
were stored the high explosives, dry gun
cotton and detonators for the powder. It
has not been alleged that this magazine
exploded. The forward magazine was
used for gun powder and in it were stored
uO.000 pounds of brown powder. The for
ward magazine was the "main gun pow
der magazine," but not the main maga
zine. The language of the dispatch, as it
came in Spanish, Js polvorin moyor, that
is "main gun ponder magazine." At the
hour at which this dispatch was re
ceived, midnight, it was too late to com
munfeate with the correspondent upon
the point in question.
Among the objects brought up by the
divers today, were the silverware of
Capt, Sigsbee's table, his bicycle, and a
typewriting machine?
Many more important documents were
also recovered.
The American nag Is floating on the
Maine.- Capt. Sigsbee ordered to have it
on the mast day and night.
The sailor Coehler was dying at 10
o'clock tonight.
At a late hour it is confirmed that, the
Bache laes tomorrow with an impor
tant communication for Admiral Sicard.
It was said ibis morning that the bodies
of Lieut. Jenkins and Assistant Engineer
Merritt had been found, but the report
was false.
Capt. Sigsbee is informed by Dr. Brun
ner that the removal to Key West of
the American wounded sailors still at
the military hospital in this city would
greatly diminish their chances of recov
ery. Two more bodies were recovered today,
making a total of. 144.
An engagement Is reported at a late
hour tonight between the Spanish bat-

of the insurgent- Gen. Francisco Carrillo
and Cols. Lino, MIrabal and Napoles. On
ly the official Spanish report Is known,
which, of course, claims a victory, but
the battle seems to have been a serious
one.
Miss Clara Barton reports that she
found the reconcentrados at Jaruco, Ha
vana province. In an awful condition of
starvation and misery.
She found that the entire funds in the
so-called hospital In that place were $1.S0.
Both the hospital and the jail evidenced
great carelessness and fllthlness.
An immense crowd followed her to the
church, and the poor people knelt and
gave thanks to God for sending Miss Bar
ton to them. She was appointed by
unanimous vote of the city council "adop
tive daughter" of JarucoT She left a good
hospital in the place and has greatly re
lieved the general misery.
SPANIAHDS SHOUT WITH GI.12E.
Important Stutcn.cuth of Passengers
Arriving From Havana.
New York, Feb. 21. The Ward line
steamer Seguranca, from Tampico and
Havana, got here today with the llrst
persons who have arrived in this city
from Havana since the Maine disaster.
The Seguranca arrived at Havana from
Tampico at 10 o'clock the morning after
the explosion, and found the city in an
uproar, and expecting instant vengeance
to be wreaked on the Spanish by the
United States. She brought thirty-four
cabin passengers.
Among the passengers was William L.
Corbin. He told the reporter at quar
antine that a little while before the blow
ing up of the Maine he had seen a boat
going toward her. He said that he would
go to Washington and make a statement
to the proper authorities.
Miss Helena Be Naghten, of Chicago,
was also a passenger. She was at her ho
tel with friends when the explosion oc
curred. First, she said, there was a
deep sound, or a muffied roar. The next
moment there was an awful crash. The
whole ;party was terror-stricken. They
looked out of the windows and they saw
people running hither and thither, shout
ing and yelling and bumping into each
other. It was fully twenty minutes af
ter the second explosion before it was
known at the 'hotel what had happened.
The excitement kept increasing. FIro en
gines dashed about the streets. The sky
was lit up with the glare of the burning
ruins of the steamship. It was some
little time before anybody would believe
that the report that the Maine had been
blown up was true.
The Cubans In the city were wild, and
the excitement among them was on the
increase.
AV. H. Pierson, who lives in Brooklyn,
was another Havana passenger. He was
uptown in the city when the two explo
sions occurred. The second one, he said,
was terrific, and it fairly shook the whole
island. It was accompanied by a tremen
dous Hash oC light that shot up high in
the air. He said that the opinion in Ha
vana among the foreigners generally was
that the Maine was blown up by some
agency other than her own magazine.
The only man on the Seguranca who
was -near enough to the Maine to sec the
explosion when it occurred was Francis
Weinheimer, of this city. He said:
"The heat of the city was oppressive
dutlng the day, and In the evening I
wandered down to the water. 1 was with
in 300 yards of the Maine. One of the
things I noticed was that the cruiser
Alfonso XII, which had been lying com
paratively near the Maine when I vibit
ed the water before, had moved oft and
was about three ship's lengths from her.
It was not very dark when I reached the
dock. The stars were out and the night
wa.s clear. Suddenly I heard an awful
roar in the direction of the Maine. Then
there was a flash of light and then a sec
ond explosion. It was awful. Following
this second shock the whole bow of the
Maine seemed to go straight apart in the
water. It looked as if it went three hun
dred or four hundred feet In the air."
One of the passengers said that af
ter the explosion he pretended to have
strong Spanish sympathies for the pur
pose of drawing the Spaniards out. He
went among them and expressed satis
faction at the blowing up of the ship. He
said that everywhere the Spaniards who
heard him shouted the fame sentiment.
They cursed the .Americans and hoped
that another ship might be sent to Ha
vana so that the same fate could be ar
ranged for it.
GUN. L.V.K NOT AT FAULT.
Mr.
Williums Snys He Cannot Succor
All the Starving.
Itepresentative Williams, of Mississippi,
.speaking of the press dispatch from Ha
vana in yesterday evening's papers rela
tive to reported friction between Consul
General Lee at Havana and the consuls
at Sagua la Grande and Matanzas.
Messrs. Barker and Brice, said that it
must be a mistake. "Not long since,"
said he, "I received a letter from Consul
Barker saying that while supplies had
beeen insufficient anil very little relief
had been offered in his district, he did
not at all wish to be understood as criti
cising Gen. Lee. It would not, of course,
be Gen. Lee's fault that the relief sent
for the reconcentrados had been insuffi
cient even in Havana itself, nor could he
be expected to hunt up starving people at
a distance with plenty of them beforu
his very eyes more than enough to con
sume all he could supply. "

morning. J
George S. Ferris then -made the opening
address for the defense After referring
to the importance at the case and the
many questions of law and fact involved,
Mr. Ttfcrris said In prt:
"A sheriff with hisipobse meets a riot
ous mob. He tells them who he is. ex
plains his ooffice anil his duty and their
own. He reasons with them, begs, hn

perse and keep the peace and observe the
law. Thev defy him. resist him, over
power him, seek teffelay him, and with
yells .of rage rush upon the little band
of deputies, who file with fatal effect."
"They kill a fact which they and all
men with hearts Jin their breasts deplore,
but they commit no crime. They did their
duty; they do not violate, but obey the
law. In tlfts trlaS James Martin and slx-ty-live
others stand clfarged with the aw

committed on the person of one Mike

Coming dowto. the occurrences at Lat

deputies, had fired revolvers at It, and
had the sheriff down on his knees in a

FRANCE'S HONOR INVOLVED
The Audience Beside Itself With

Warns His Country "Sowing the
Wind."
Paris, Feb. 21. Zola faced his enraged
and deluded countrymen In the assize
court today and addressed to them a
speech which was both an appeal and a
defiance. As an appeal, it was hopeless,
and he knew it. As a defiance, it was in
trepid, prophetic, magnificent. It was re
ceived with jeers of intolerant rage, which
he allowed to pass unheeded.
On Wednesday he will he punished for
warning France that if she sows the
wind she will reap, the whirlwind. But
It needs no prophet to foresee that the
angry crowd -which today reviled him
will one day applaud him as on& of the
defenders of his country's honor.
The third week of the trial bf
gan today without particular inci
dent. The advocate general, as soon
as court opened, began his closing plea.
He entirely ignored the rule Imposed at
the outset of the trial forbidding refer
ences to the Dreyfus case. This rule has
been enforced from the outset against the
defense, but it has been entirely Inopera
tive against the prosecution and its wit
nesses. The advocate general made "an
elaborate argument upon the origin of
the bordereau, insisting that the opinions
of the official experts had not been im
peached, .whereas the testimony of the
defendant's experts was worthless tie
cause it was based upon a facsimile and
not upon the original. He argued that
it was impossible for Esterhazy to secure
access to the document named in the bor-
dereau and therefore lmpoS!dble that he i
was guilty.
The advocate general spoke almost two
hours. His address on the whole was
astonishingly weak, and especially in his
peroration, when he descended to the pu
erile suggestion that Zola was merely
seeking self-advertisement, and making a
market for a new book, which he is soon
to write.
The strongest point of his plea was his
insistence that the whole question for the
jury was whether Zola was justified in
his allegation that the military court of
inquiry in the Esterhazy case had ren
dered judgment according to the orders of
the chief officers of the army.
A recess was taken" at 2 o'clock, after

Aiken, S. C, Feb. 21. Mrs. William C.
Whitney was thrown from her mount
this morning while following the hounds
on a fox-hunt. The accident happened
at the dam at what Is known as Robin
son's Pond, a small creek about a mile
out. Her horse was going at full speed
when she attempted to cross the pond
under a low bridge. The rafter of the
bridge caught her and thc$w her from
her horse, inflicting a wound in her fore
head abou six and one-half inches long.
An impromptu ambulance was at once
constructed, and she was removed to her
residence in an unconscious condition.
Her physician, who has been with her
almost constantly since the accident,
says that, while the wound is a painful

Complete Defeat of Conservative
Members of Autonomist I'arty.
Havana, Feb. 21. The junta of the
Autonomist party met yesterday to
discuss- a. new program proposed to
the party by Senor Elisio Giberga, a
Spanish senator. It was a very stormy
session and it resulted in a complete
defeat of Senor Montoro and the con-
! servative members of. the Autonomist
. party, who noAV form the colonial cab
, inet. The program of Senor Giberga
j wjts accepted by an overwhelming; ma
jority. It comprises a broader plan of
J autonomy for the island of Cuba and
the disarming of the Spanish volun-
teers.
The defeat of the Autonomists now
in power is considered of great polit
j ical importance. It really lessens the
j prestige of the autonomist government,
I and will produce a political agitation
among the Autonomists with the prob
j able result of the overthrow of the cab
I inet presided over by Senor Galves. It
is a noteworthy fact that all the mem-
"cl? wt V,e Ti , .J ? sI'"-
iiiuo, t . jiut:v.i Liie -n.u.uinlilll
shortly after the Autonomist decree of
Sagasta was put in force, voted for
the program of Senor Giberga and
against the conservative Autonomists.
Senor Artnro Amblard. the well
known Spanish deputy, is now to be
appointed leader of the Autonomist
party.
With the Maine affair, the bomb ex
plosions In the city, the dissensions
among the Autonomists and the unpop
ularity of their government, the ru
mors of international complications
with the United States and the reports
of serious fighting in the field with in
surgents, Havana is like a hornet's
nest.

TREACHERY NOW SUiPECTED
The Information Alleged To Ho Pos
. sessetl By Lieutenant Commander
Sobrul nnd Lieutenant Palmo, una
Through Them Uy Spain, Indi
cate n Gruvu Condition of Affairs.
Lieut. Commander Sobral has taken a.
hint from the publication of his inter
view the other day, and has kept his
mouth closed tightly ever since-, after
having been called a liar and a coward
by a New York reporter. Lieut. Palmo,'
of the Spanish navy, -who was an unseen
but faithful co-worker with Sobral. has
ben indiscreet and has made some re
marks which, in addition to those made
by Sobral, have set the nation, and es
pecially the ofilcers of the American
Navy, to thinking-deeply.
In Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, yesterday
Palmo became much excited over a dis
cussion of the Maine disaster and the
question of a war between Spain and
America. He said:
"The conllict between the two coun
tries cannot be postponed much longer.
but I tell you we are better prepared
to strike than the Yankees think. Whan
the Americans have occupied their time
in talking we have been quietly prepar
ing for the conflict, and, moreover, our
diplomats have admirably succeeded in
warding off suspicion.
"Do you suppose it Is for naught that
we hae recently purchased two cruisers
from Brazil, and have made a liberal of
fer for the new Chilean warship iust
completed? And you may rest assured
my -lsit to Mexico bodes no good for
the Yankees.
"Our bureau of naval intelligence has
complete plans and drawings of the for
tifications of the principal American
ports. There is not a port in the United
States that is fortified sufficiently to
withstand the successful entry of one of
our ships. The one possible exception
is the city of New York, but you may
be aware that we have a powerful cruiser
there, and that we can well afford to
lose it if the Yanks can afford to see
their largest city in ruins. The Sagasta
mjnistry has no oscillating plans. We
have but one policy and are pursuing It
steadily.. Americans, you know, are as
little aware of what they will do tomor
row as they are of what they m6t ac
complish today."
"There will be no lighting on the Amer
ican continent, you can depend on that.
We have a splendid navy and some of tha
fastest auxiliary cruisers In the world.
After we lay two or three of their largest
cities in ruins, this ought to bring the
money-loving Yankee to our terms."
Sobral. taking advantage of the face
that he had come to this country as tha
naval representative of 'Sbain. and sup
posedly as a man of honor; has been, it is
now learned, in most of the fortifications
of the Atlantic coast, undoubtedly with
the full and complete sanction of the
Spanish legation, and. It Is hinted now.
with assistance from Individuals who
were alleged to have been close to the
Cleveland Administration. Whether this
is true or not cannot bo learned positive
ly at this time, but the mere suspicion,
corroborated apparently by the facts of
the case, has created an intense excite
ment in military and naval circles in this
city, and, in fact, throughout both
branches of the American service.
That Dupuy de Lome knew of Sobral's
mission is certain, for the ex-minister is
known to have used every means in his
power and every courtesy accorded him
by the Cleveland Administration to obtain
opportunities to study our military and
naval charts. That De Lome's successor
knew of these things seems to be homo
out by the fact that he was close to the
man who slandered President McKlnley,
and both Sobral and Palmo have Intimat
ed that "none of Spain's diplomats has
been idle."
All of these evidences of Spanish "du
plicity, however, have paled into Ifisjg
nlficance beside the question which lutftt
rally arises from the facts here presented.
Army and navy officers almost to a man
say that if the statements of Sobral and
Palmo are true, treachery as black as
that of Eenedict Arnold exists, or ex
isted, in one or more of the departments'
of the American Government- Stich
treachery has not been placed, an yet.
nor have any individuals been accused,
but the question that Is emanating from
every honest American's lips Is:
"Who Is the American Dreyfus?"
This new phase of the "Incident" in- '
volves questions most momentous to this
country, and it is safe to assert that the
American army and navy officers will not
do as the French military men arc doing
In the Zola trial, but will assist in forcing
the expose of one of the most diabolical
plots known to American history.
