Havana, March 22. Captain T. L.
Huston, or tho volunteer engineers,
was questioned by a correspondent or
tho Associated Press ou tho subject or
tho story printed by a local rowspa
per nt Cincinnati, saying that tho lo
cation or tho keyboard by which the
United Stales battleship Maine was
blown up in Havana harbor on Feb
ruary 15, 1808, had been round by him
In a gun room or tlie Foorza prison,
while engaged In c!aning out tho for
mications. Tho captain said tho use
oi ins uamo in mis connection was
not authorized. Ho showed
tho coi respondent a cable with
several wires running into tho harbor
rrom Foorza prison, opposite Cabanas
fortress. Ono wire was connected
with a disused telegraph Instrument
In a neighboring government building
log. Though tho cablo has not been
investigated by the United States
engineers, the supposition Is that It
runs to Cabanas, across the harbor,
and has been used ror telegraphing.
There Is a remote chance that the
wires In the cable weru oiunccted
with mines or torpedoes, but Micro Is
no Indication that It had anything
to do with the blowing tin or tho
Maine. Tho end or thn cablo sticking
out or Foreza prison has been seen by
tourists ror weeks past. Many soldiers
have also been tho cablo and many
have expressed the belief chat It was
used to blow up tho Malno,

condition. Jacob, Sultelle und Deal
are nil travollng men, representing
Chicago, Now York and St. Louis
houses.
Tho boiler wub located under the

passing by when the explosion oc
curred. Jacobs and Saltcllo were
almost over tho boiler, They were
thrown about 50 feet In tho air. Be
sides having tholr bones brokon, they
were severely cut by broken glass,
Beat's escape rrom serious Injury was
due to the fact that ho was considera

The force of tho explosion was sufilo
lent to throw pieces or tho boiler 100
foot In the air, All tho windows In
the adjacent buildings wnro broken.
It Is thought that tho explosion was
duo to tho carelessness of the engineer,
who allowed tho boiler to run dry.
