"Kor nearly 10 ycara I have been troubled with my liver and kldnoya and palpitation ot the heart , and was under tl-o doctor's care most of the tlmo. I could not lie on my left side. My appo- tlto was poor and I could not sleep. In January the grip confined mu to the bouse. I was very low and was attended by tbo very best physicians I could get. It accrued as though nothing would help mo. In March I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. In less than a week I could got a good nlght'a sleep. I con tinued taking Hood's Bareaparllla and I am now a bio to lie on my left side which I bad not been able to do for yean. My ppetlto la good and I have gained in lleah and strength. " Mus.

( On board the Ward HDD uteamer City of Washington , ) Ono of the officers of the Maine said today that at 8 o'clock last night all the magazines on board the battleship iMalno were closed and that the kc > s had been turned over to Cap tain Slgsbee , Its commander. The explosion occurred at 9:45 : p. in. The officer then rushed on deck and assisted In lowering a boat nnd trjlng to rescue the men In the water. The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII , which was anchored close to the Maine , also lowered Its boats and saved thirty-seven of the crew of fhc American war ship. " Another ofllccr said : "I was sitting with two moro oillcers In the mcssroom when a heavy explosion occurred. It was so heavy that wo understood the ship would be lost and we went on the upper deck and found it had been badly wrecked by an explosion , that It was on fire and sinking. All efforts wore directed toward lowering the boats and saving lives. The Malno nettled quickly on the bottom of the harbor only Its upper works remaining above the water. A number of boats from the Spanish war ship Alfonso XII , and boats from the Ward line * tcamer City of Wcjlilngtca came alongside and rendered assistance. Twent > - four men , who were slightly woundeJ , were carried co board the City of Woahlngtcii and the rest of the wounded were carried on board the Alfonso XII , fiom which place they were taken to other quaiteis , acid after receiving valuable assistance fioiu the naval doctors , sent to 'tlio hospitals " This officer said the explosion occurred sonlcwhere In the forward part of the auild- ship bcctlon ot the battleship. Manj of the crew , who were below at the tlmo , were unable to escape , end those who succeeded In reach'ing the upper decks saved their lives with great dlllcult ! > with the assistance ot the ofllccra and men on watch. At 2 o'clock In the moinlng , while the cor respondent of the Associated Press was go ing aohore , there was anotbec terrible ex plosion. At the earnctime bolts from the Spanltti steamers Colon and Mexico were taking eight wounded men ashore after hav ing saved them from the water. Up to 2 a in. flfty-seveu men and tvventy- foui officers had been accounted for. Pay master lta > enld that last Sunday there were 351 men on his list all told. Lieutenant Jcnkln.s and Assistant Knglnoer Mrcrltt are among those uncounted for. Lieutenant Blandln waa cu watch at the time ot the explosion. Some of the wreckage of the Maine fell en hoard the City of Washington and knocked two holes In Its deck The chaplain of the Maine , Rev. , Mr. Cliadnlck , went on board the Allonso XII In order to adminis ter to the wounded. Captain Slgsbee In formed the correspondent of the Associated Press that ho cculd not make any state ments legardlng the disaster until after an Investigation. A Spanish naval officer said Captain Slgs bee was the last man to abandon 'the sink ing ship nnd that ho remained alongside the wreck as long as It was possible to do anything in the work ot rescue. Soon after the explosion Chief of Police Plagllery went on board the Maine with an American correspondent to act as Inter preter. Captala Slgsbee expressed total Ig- ncranco of the cause of tlio explosion. Shortly afterwards Captain 'Slgsbee left the .Maine , after doing everything possible under the circumstances and went on boaid the City ot Wabhington. Ho refused to grant any interviews on the subject of the disaster. Tlicro Is no truth In the report that Gen eral Fll/.hugh Lee and Vlco Consul Springer have called at the palace to thank Captain General Blanco for his offer of assistance. The large number of deaths reported among the crew of the Malno Is said to be duo to the fac' that rnos-t of them were n&Iccp bf > - low at the time of the explosion. Most ot the oillcers saved were dining oa board the City of Washington. It Is reported that the disaster was duo to the explosion of the b.iller of the dynamo machine. The Spanish crulsei Alfonso XII was for somotlii'o after the explosion In great peril and 1U mooring tackles were slacked away and it was anchored at a greater distance from the burning war ship. It then lowered Its boats and 'nok part la the work of rescue Con-u ! General Lee's cablegram to the United S'atca ' State department , which was Hloil it 12 ? 0 , was carried to the palace 1 > > Vlco Consul Springer as an act of courtesy. The first of the American sailors to reach the Mncblni whirf swam there. All the naV ) llro brigade and the navy olllclals wore Immediately on duty. The following Is a list of Ihr-se who were temporarily cared for at the Alaqhlna wharf : Thomas AndrosK } , burned about the arms. Gi'rell , slightly wounded on one foot. John Malr seriously burned about arms and f"ce. A. I'au , wounded on brad. John Londay , burned , and four more whoso names are not Unovvn Stietchers for the use of the wounded were suit to the scene by the lire brigade and the headquarters of the Red Cross society was called upon to send four stretchers and men were sent to patrol the eceno of the disaster and pick up the dead anil wounded. The smokestacks of the Maine fell at 11 30 p. m. The flallof.s who escaped fell senseless jusl as they reached a place , ot safety. Ono ol the Maine's officers , who Is being caied foi at the sanitary headquarters , Is seriously wounded. Ho Is very joung and Is believed to have been the officer on guard at the tlmo of the disaster. Ho Is said to have asked for a priest. It was raid a ! inro this after noon that only ninety-seven of the crew ot the Maine had been caved , wet M > in AHUIVI : AT KUY AVUST. .Slllllll'H hllj ( III * K\ | | | | > HOII U'HN ClIIINfll liy OiilHlilr I n II iii > u < < i * . . JACKSONVILLE , Fla. , Feb. 10. A special to the Times-Union and Citizen from Key West saje : The steamship Ollvetto arrived hero to night with a large number of the wounded and many other survivors of the 'Malno dis aster. The officers were , as a rule , reti cent and followed In line with their1 chief , Slgsbee , in saying that the cause of the explosion could only be uacei tallied by dlvera , but mutiy of the sallora were out spoken In their declaration of the belief that the explosion was a deep laU plot of the Spaniards. ' They are grpatly Incensed against the Havana people , who have shown them small cojrtcay , who looked upon their presenceas a national affront and who have published anon > mous circulars captloned , "Down with Americans- . " They believe that the author of such expressed and cowardly hatred would not stop at an act of such terrible vengeance as the blowing up of the Maine. These sailors , acquainted with the drills discipline and ensemble of a man-of-war , pooh-pooh the Idea ot an Internal explosion as the last thing to be thought of , < : iuirKc-M tt tu Tri'iirhi'ry. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn. , Feb. 1C.

The awful catastrortio which overwhelmed the Malno vv s the universal topic ot con versation In Omaha yesterday. When people read the first meager dispatches In the mornIng - Ing their first thought was naturally that Spanish hands had something to do with the disaster , but on the whole the matter WM taken very quietly and the predominant sentiment was oi sincere regret at the ap palling loss ot life. U was the general dis position to wait for a more thorough ex planation before placing tbo blame for the accident , and the later news was looked for with the most Intense Interest , As Omaha people are not familiar with the detalU of the construction and management ot a battleship , they were not blo to discuss the probabilities of Its cause , except In a very general way. Wbllo some were disposed to bcllovo that It was not altogether an Occi dent , tbo moro general expression was that there was no adequate reason for consider ing It anything else , unless 'future Investi gations should furnish ono. It was gener ally contended that the most thorough Inves tigation possible should bo made at once , and that It It was found that the calamity was tlio result of treachery , the independ ence of Cuba should at once bo acknowl edged and maintained. EXPEKT3 DISAQHEE. City Electrician Schurlij Is ono of tbo few residents of Omaha who can speak with familiarity ot naval nffalrs. Ho was formerly In the naval service and Inspected come of the construction of the Milne. His knowledge of the vessel leads him to be lieve that such an accident as the explcslcn of either of the magazines would bo practi cally Impossible Ho sajs that the supposi tion that the calamity was caused by care- leas handling of explosives Is ridiculous , as the high explosives are never handled ex cept when the ship Is In action. At other times they are carefully Isolated , and the orrangements of 11. " modccn magazines arc such that an explosion would bo Impossible under the condition ! that existed. The mag azines ot the Maine and wcee alr-tlght pro tected by a double wall of atcel. Gas Insp3etcr Gilbert has kept pretty close track of naval affairs , as ho has a son In ftio service , and he sajs that what ho knows of the construction of a battleship Is sufficient to convince him that such an explosion could not occur by accident. Ex-City Engineer IIowcll was formerly connected with the navy and ho Inclines to the view that the Catastrophe was caused by an explosion qf gup cotton. He * differs with Mr. SchurlR Inregard , to tbo possibility of accident , as be thinks that circumstances mliht occur MCiich' ' would result In such an explosiui as tha onp that wrecked the Maine.

Ho was In the cast a short tlmo before he enlisted In the iaval service Ho Is 25 jcars old , and In the ast letters he wrote to his parents he spoke of returning home after the completion of its term qf enlistment , which would have been May 2. MoManus made his home during the greater part of the time ho was hero with ih uncle , John F. Murphy , D27 Avenue H , nho Is an engineer oa the Northwestern allway. Ho was a brother of Mrs. U.

The youngman's term of enlist ment would have expired In July , and ho was naKIng preparations to return to this city. Miss 'Murphy , his cousin , has received let- ers from him regularly since ho arrived n iHavana. The last was received two dajs ago. His letters show that ho Is a very ) rlght > oung man and able to give onter- ainlng acco'&nts of Ills experiences and ob servations on shipboard. The last letter received from young Mon- ort was dated February 8. In this and other letters ho has written ho refers to a ncssmate who has asked him not to glvo ils name when writing to Council Bluffs for ear his parents , who live In Omaha , should earn that ho Is In the navy. ABOUT B.N'GINDEH MEHIUTT. Darwin Merrltt , the assistant engineer , and one of the two officers lost , was also well known here , although his homo was lu lied Oak. Ho was appointed by Congress man Thomas Bowman In 1891 as a cadet at Annapolis. Ho was an extraordinarily bright } oung man , and at his preliminary examina tion hero stood far above all of his com petitors. When examined by the board at Annapolis ho passed without difficulty. Ha was graduated last summer with tlio honors of his class , and 'was assigned for his first service to the ibattleshlp In the capacity of assistant engineer. "His death Is not only a calamity to his friends , but to the country , " said ex-Congressman Bowman last evening , "for ho was ono of the brightest and most promising young men In the navy. I nat urally felt an Interest In him , and made It a point to learn all I could concerning his progress. It is IOD bad that such a bright young man should perish at the very begin ning of a career that gave such brilliant promise.

The only par allel to the Malno horror In the history of the United Stalpa navy vvas the great Samoan - moan disaster InMarch ( , 1889 , when four officers and forty-si ! men of the Pacific coast bquadron lost ithelr lives In u hurricane which swept the harbor of Apia , Samoa , and surrounding ui w March in and 1C. When this hurricane aUttted there was In the har bor of Apia the-foHlowliiii men-of-war : ThoU U S S , Trenton , VandalU and Nlpslc , the British ship Calliope and tbo German vessels Adler , Olga and lifter and a few merchant ships and small craft , Admiral Klmberly , commanding tbo naval forces milo the de partment a long report on the disaster , In vvhkh he showed that notwithstanding the utmost efforts of the oftlcers and men and a display of the most expert seamanship , the Vaudalla nnd the Nlpslc were wrecked ou a reef. The Vandalla lost four officers and thlrty-nlno men ; the Nlpslc seven men and the Olea ono man , whose head wai smashed by an accident aboard utilp , The admiral's report showed that the Adler had been thrown high up on a reef and vvas careened on Its Dido ; that the Olga bad been beached In a good position. lie said the Bber was nowhere to be teen und reported that tbo Calliope , having successfully run out of the mrbor during the beginning of the atorm , b-d returned shotting algua of having ex- liorlenctil heavy weather. In reporting on : be dliaitrr , Admiral Klmberly eald : "During the entire tlmo Captain Farqubar iboMcd great care and good Judgment In vindllng t'.ie ihlp through this terrific gale , and uuver loft the bridge. Ho waa ably sec ended by his cxeoutlvo and nnvlgitlnp offi cers , who did all In their power to nave the ship. In fact , BO far as I could observe. , nit the officers behaved extremely-well under the trying clrcumstances , and performed their duties cheerfully , effectively and as well us could bo desired. This disaster I classify among the Incidents and accidents Insepara ble from the * prosecution ot duty. Its mag nitude , however , gives It a distinguishing feature which , fortunately , the service U rarely compelled to witness. " Ono ot the first vessels ot the navy which went down with all on board WAS the frigate Insurgent , last heard from In July , 1800. The brig Pickering disappeared about the came time. Which perished first , nnd the manner ot their fates , no man knows ; they simply went down nnd left no sign. The famous sloop-of-war Wasp was last heard from In September , 1814. Her fate , too Is forever n mjstery. As the United States VVIM at war with England then , It Is barely possible thnt the tradition that a British frigate had a night conflict with a smaller vcfecl , which , making her escape In the gloom , appeared to ho swallowed up by the sea , had some foundation and referred to the luckless cruiser. The Epcrvler , bringing homo the Americans Commodore Decatur had rescued from slavery In Tunis nnd Algiers , never reached port Tradition ea > s the ship struck on Nantucket shcals In tlio night nnd went to pieces , but no mnn knows. Fifteen years after the Wasp vvas given up as lost , her slater ship , the Hornet , dloappearod. She Is believed to have foundered In n sudden squall In the Gulf of Mexico. These two ahlps , the Wasp nod the Hornet , "The two proud sisters of the sea. In glory and In doom" vvcro long watched for and hoped for , but no tidings of tlio fate ot cither ever came to waiting ears. Old people still recall that In tbo dajs ot their youth , when the sound of salute was heard In n seaport , the question would bo raised : "It Is the Hornet , como In at last ? " The list of vessels lost with all on board , "totally disappeared , " also Includes nho I'or- polse , last heard from In September , 1854 , In the China sens ; the sloop of war Albany , which sailed from Asplnwall for New York about the eamo tlmo , and never reached homo ; and the Levant , which , seen tiomo tlmo In 1SCO sailing Into n fog bank In the Pacific , has never reappeared , though her name was kept on the navy list until 1SG2 The mist of death and sllcnco was wrapped around her and novcr has been dissipated. It was on board the Levant thnt Dr. Halo made "Tho Mnn Without a Country" die , a clover way of adding moro vrnlsernblance to thnt wonderful narrative , slnco there weie people who Immediately said there olwajs was something odd about the movements ot the Levant , and as no one survived the ship , the particularity of tbo story could not for a tlmo bo gainsaid. The fate of all of our naval vessels lost slnco the war Is a. matter of record. The sloop-of-war Sacramento was wrecked In the Bay of Bengal soon after the close of the re bellion ; no lives were lost. The storcshlp rredonla was cast upon the Peruvian coast by a tidal wave In 18GS , and many perished. The gunboat Suwaiice was wrecked on an uncharted ledge oft the coast of British Columbia , July 9 , 1SGS. Tbo sinking of the Onelda , with many of her oillcers and crew , by the mall steamer Bombay , January 23 , 1S70 , was a disaster and almost a crime , since the sinking ship was left to her fate by the vessel that had collided with her. In 1S70 the Saglnaw vvas lost on Ocean Island , In the Pacific. Juno 17 , 1875 , the Saranac was gored by a sunken rock In the north Pacific. November 24. 1S77 , the Huron vvas lost on the coast of North Carolina , ninety-eight ofll- cers and men perishing. iiMMM.vr ; M/MIIUOUS awn. SHII-S , .
