SOME UGLY RUMORS ARE AFLOAT The OrlRln r tlm Kxilimliin Wlilrli Ie- Ktmyi'il tlm Mnlnn lit Mtlll an llimol vml Problem. According to n Koy West press enrre epoiulent, divers working about the bot tom of the wrecketl uauiesnip Maine, have discovered an ele;ht-inch percussion liolo in her outer platen. This means, if the report is true, that the Maine wub blown up 'r(,m lno outHide, and by de- lipn. Secretary of tlie Kavy Long ubHoiutely discredits the above report, Baying that there H no eueh tiling as uu eight-inch percussion hole, and that no torpedo or other explosive missile would made such hole as that deHurihed. Tlie report that Captain Sitrhee tele graphed as Iiih opinion that the Maine was blown up by doBign is llatly contra dicted at Washington. Admiral Sicard telegraphs the navy department that according to the report of Lieutenant Hood, of the battlt'Bhip Maine, the vessel is almost hopelessly wrecked. Kky Wi:st, Feb. 17. The correspond ent here of the Associated Press has re turned to this place on board the Bteatner Olivette from tlie Hcene of the wreck of Ihe United States battleship Maine, in Havana harbor. Divers working about her bottom havu discovered an eight Inch percussion hole m the miter plates of the Maine. Admiral Manterola has summoned Captain Sigsbee to appear before Mili tary Judge I'eral to make the necessary depositions. When the keys of the magazine were delivered to Captain Sigabee, the tem perature of the forward inagn.me was 69 depress, and it is said no high explo sives were Btored there, which would feem to make the mystery more dense. Fears are expiessed hero that divers will not bo able to throw any light on the cause of the disaster, since the for-' ware part of the Maine is practically in atoms. As this dispute!! is pent no news of importance lias been received lier neither from Havana nor from the fleet. lteport Not Vorlllml. New Yokk, Feb. 17. One of the regu lar correspondents of the Associated Press at Key West cabled from there at 11:35 this morning that the report of tlie finding of a hole in the hull of the Maine evidently caused by a torpedo was sent from Havana just before the Olivette sailed, and was from a source regarded as reliable, but it cannot be verified, owing to the strict censorship at Havana. The report is not verified by the otlicera of tlie Maine who have ur rived at Key West. The F.vening Worl d Iihb received from Sylvester ikovol, its eorrospodont at Ha wna, the following reply to uu inquiry whether strangers were allowed on the Mainu the day of the disaster : 'Yes; visitors wore on the Maine ull the afternoon of the day of the explosion. A bomb might have beeii deposited near the magazine as I have already cabled. Cables are much delayed hero." The dispatch upjiera under date of today, ItoHr-Ailiiurnl KUiiberly AiIvLoh.

It Boems unreasonable to connect the Span ish government with a disaster, and in justice both to Spain and to the officers of the Maine, public judgment aliould lie suspended for a time.
