ipecial save :
It is learned from what iriBy be con
sidered a e;nl official soarce that divers
jent down on behalf of the United States
to examine the wreck of the battleship
Maine, have made a preliminary report
cf tl.eir work.
Incredible aB it may seem, it Bays that
after a practical examination of the mac
mines of the Maine, the divers report
that the one in which the explosion is
opposed to have occurred is in tact.
According to the correspondent's in
fonnnnt. the contente of the magazines
are uninjured. Therefore, if thiB is true
n entrely different nspect is given to
the terridic explosion which brought
death and destruction to the Maine on
the lath Inst.
Tins leport reaching Key West, it is
said, caused the members of the court of
inquiry to decide to proceed to Havana
and begin their investigation at once,
instead of organizing the court here. At
any rate, the lighthouse tender Man
grove, with the court of inquiry onboard,
left for Havana yesterday evening. Up
on reaching Havana the court will make
a personal examination of the wreck,
and nill then take testimony regarding
the lose of the vessel. When the Man
grove sailed it had not been decided
where the board would convene, but Ad
miral Sicard told a press correspondent
this evening it would probably meet ou
board the Mangrove or the Fern, the
supply ship of the Norto Atlantic Fquad
ron, which is now in Havana. The ad
miral added that the court would, in all
probability hold another session iu Key
West before its fiual conclusions are
reached.

I'ke.scott, Ariz., Feb. 21. A disas
trous fire occurred here last night result
ing in the total destruction of the John
son hotel. The house contained between
twenty and thirty guests and the fire
made such rapid headway before beiDg
discovered that it resulted in almoet to
tal lose of nearly everything, and many
had hairbreadth escapes. While no fa
talities occurred, many were seriously
injured.
Annie I'iereon, a chambermaid, made
the discovery and remained in the third
lory awakening the guests until the
flames cut oil" every avenue of escape by
the stairways, and she then was com
pelled to crawl through a window to the
roof, where she was rescued very budly
burned.

How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more, than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all tbe vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look ;
if your kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. Secure good health and
2XU will surely have good looks. "Elec-
trie Bitters" is a good Alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach
liver and kidneys. Purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
