MARCH 3rd, 1898. THE MAINE'S ORE AT DEATH BOIX Never in the whole history of the United States has there been a naval catastrophe so destructive to human life as the wreck of the Maine, Bays the Boston Journal. ••Not only is this true of the years of peace, but it is true of the years of war. More brave men went down with the burned and shattered hulk of our noble armorclnd than have perished in any single sea fight of the republic. The bloodiest day in our naval history was that fatal Bth of March, IS(>2, when the iron-mailed Mcrrimac came into Hamp ton Roads and crushed successfully the frigate Congress and the sloop-of-war Cumberland. Though these two ships were defended with extraordinary hero ism, hurling their last defiant broad sides at their impregnable foe just as the flamea and the waves overwhelmed them, the deaths on neither vessel were equal to those on the Maine. The Con gress lost 130 out of a complement of 434; the Cumberland, 120 out of 376. "Btrauge as it may seem, the dead of the Maine outnumber several times over all the men who fell in the Union fleet at Farragut's first great victory of New Orleans. Thirty - seven officers and sailors gave up their lives in that fierce night battle on the Mississippi. One hundred and forty-five perished in the fiercer encounter of Mobile Bay, but 93 of those sauk at their posts with the torpedoed monitor Tecumseh. Only 20 men fell in Admiral Porter's first attack on Fort Fisher, December 24 and 25, 1864, and 82 was the total loss of the fleet in the second and vic torious combat. "Not only is the death roll of the Maine greater than that of any sea battle which the United States has fought, but it is greater than that of any battle save one of the British navy in the past hundred years. The Brit ish loss was somewhat larger at Trafal gar, reckoning the casualties of the en tire fleet, but no single ship suffered more than a fraction of the loss which the Maine sustained by the terrible ex plosion. Nelson's flagship, the Victory } was under fire for five hours, and was reduced to a mere wreck, but her killed were only 57 out of a full crew of 600. At the battle of the Nile, the Bellerophon, which was most cut up of all of Nelson's ships, lost 49 men out of 584, and the whole fleet lost 213. Jervis won his Earldom at Cape St. Vincent, with a loss of 73 }men, and 203 fell on the British side at Camperdown." The nation is anxiously awaiting the official report of the naval officers appointed to ascertain the cause of and flx the responsibility, if possible, for what is now generally called and will be recorded in history as "the Maine disaster." The reports of the Havana correspondents of the great eastern journals and the well guarded utter ances of American naval officers at Havana and government officials at Washington leave little room for doubt that the terrible catastrophe was caused by the explosion of a sub-marine mine directly beneath the ship, and while it seems, almost incredible that the Spanish authorities in Cuba could have deliberately conspired to perpetrate such a fearful crime, it seems equally incredible that sub-marine mines or torpedoes could be so placed in the har bor, without the knowledge of the au thorities, as to make such a disaster possible. The anchorage place of the visiting vessel was particularly desig nated by the harbor master of Havana and marked by a buoy, and it is now considered a suspicious coincidence that a Spanish cruiser, which was anchored close to the Maine when the latter was moved to the fatal spot, changed her anchorage to place of aafety a few hours previous to the ax plosion. That the situation is consid ered serious by the president and his cabinet is evident from the unusual activity at all the ordinance and am munition factories in the country and from the rapidity with which work is being hastened upon new naval vessels find coast defenses. It is to be hoped that the country will be spared the calamity of war, but it can hardly be Avoided if it is proven that the Spanish government is directly or indirectly responsible for the Maine disaster. It may well be considered doubtful if the people of this country would be satis fled, if such proof is shown, with a de mand for liberal indemnity, even if such a demand were to be promptly complied with by Spain. From every section of our mighty republic our gov ernment will be called upon to inter pose with foroe of arms in behalf of Cuba and put an end forever to Span ish rule on the western continent. At the beginning of the present century 8 pain exercised dominion over more Mian 7,000,000 square miles, or over 45 per cent of the New World, while now she is fighting desperately, treacherous ly and hopelessly to retain her sover eignty over the last vestage of her once great western possession*, now limited There's money -making for you, your grocer; and us, in "tes taktafr powder co#*e flavoring extracts v »chia sodapicca. f Schilling's Best * SI For sale by W. E. Sutherland, Orcas, Wash. to less than 40,000 square miles In the West Indies. Nearly every taxpayer In the county has within the past few days received a little reminder of abortive Populist legislation in the form of a de mand from the county treasurer for the payment of personal taxes, which "can not be paid in installments, but are payable in full immediately after the tax rolls are open, viz., the first Mon day in February of each year, thirty days' notice being given." The treas urer's notice in this county bears date of February 21 and the taxes must therefore be paid on or before March 23, or the treasurer will be required under the law to proceed to collect "by distraint and sale of property." This situation is brought about through the decision of the state supreme court de claring the exemption provision of the revenue law unconstitutional, and it is held also apply to the $300 exemption allowed under the old law. A majori ty of the members of the supreme court are Republicans, but it happens that the decision in this particular case was written by Judge Reavis, who was wafted on to the bench by the Popu list wave of 1896, so our Populist fellow citizens are not very consistent in their claims that a Republican court is re sponsible for this unexpected raid upon the people's pockets. ... ■ In the event of a war with Spain great things would be expected of the valiant Adjutant-General Ballaine, of the Washington state militia, who recently endeavored to twist the tail of the British lion through the columns of a London newspaper. It yet remains to be determined whether Ballaine's sword is any mightier than his pen. Held in Readiness. N Chicago, March I.—A special to The Chronicle from Key West says: The fleet here, made up of the New York, lowa, Marblehead, Montgomery, Nashville, Cushing and Ericson, as well as three battleships, Indiana, Texas and Massachusetts, now at Dry Tortugas, received orders to hold them selves in readiness to start for Havana at the tap of the drum. The Detroit has left here for Dry Tortugas, where she will join the squad ron. The orders came from Long in Washington to Admiral Slcard, and are said to be based on information wired from Havana by the captain of the Bace, United States coast survey boat, which left for Havana yesterday. The captain of the Bache told such a story of the heated state of the Havana public and the probability of riot at any moment, and danger to Americans now in Havana to flow therefrom, that Long at once made the order indicated. Diario del Ejercito, the Spanish army gazette, received here from Havana, says that Spain has notified the United States that the Maine's remains must not be removed and that the work must stop until the government re ceives the report of the United States court of iuquiry.
