DESIGN OR ACCIDENT?
Tfin Said to Have Been
JiUv
Found in (he Vessel.
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."

mandod the United States squadron f t
Apia, Samoa, at the time of.the disaster
there, was Been at hia home in West
Newton. Asked for an opinion on the
Maine disaster, he said.:
"One tiling seems to me certain : The
less that is said against Spain and ttie
Spanish government at tlie present time
tlie better it will be and the less cause
for trouble there may be hereafter. 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. An explosion
of the magazine might have occurred or
there might have been Borne explosive
in the ship's stores. Tlie exact cause of
the explosion will not be known until
the ship has been raised and a court of
inquiry haB investigated the matter
thoroughly."

Nkv Yokk, Feb. 17. The American
Newspaper Publisher's Association is
holding its annual session at the Wal
dorf-Astoria hotel. The session will last
three days. The first meeting was
called to order by President Charles W.
Knapp, of the St. Louis Republic.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that baa helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shak
ers never have indigestion. This is
partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to the wohderf.ul properities
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the Btomach and all its glands
bo that after awhile they don't need
help. As evidence of the honesty of
Shaker Digestive Cordial, the formula
is printed on every bottle. Sold bv
