Havana, Feb. 17. At a qnsrter ol 10 o'clock last evening a terrible explo sion took place on board the United State cruiser Maine, in Havana har bor. Many were killed or wounded. All tbe boat of tbe Spanish cruiser Alfexi-o XIL are assisting. As yet tbe cause of the explosion is not apparent. Tbe wounded sailors of tbe Maine are unable to explain it. It is believed that tbe cruiser is totally deatroyed. Tbe explosion shook the whole city. The windows were broken in all the bouses. The correspondent of tbe Associated pres says he has conversed with sev eral of tbe wounded sailors and under stands that the explosion took place while they were asleep, so that tbey can give no particulars as to the cause. OVKH A HUNDRED KILLED The w ildest consternation prevails in Havana. The w halves are crowded with thourands of people. It is believed the ex pi oi-Ion occurred in a small pow der magazine. At a quarter of 11 o'clock what remains of the Maine i still burn ing. Captain Bigsbee and the other officer! have been saved. It is estimated that over one hundred of the crew were killed, but it is impossible as yet to give exact details. Chicago, Feb. 17. Comnvdore J. E. Montgomery, once of the United Btstei navv, a commanding officer of a con derate fleet during the civil war and the man who raised the frigate, after wards the ram Merrimac, was very em- pliatic in declaring the s nking of tb battleship Maine in Havana harbor wat the renult of treachery, and an act wi'h out parallel in the world's history. In hi opinion war must inevitably follow; "When the divers go down and exam' ine the hull of tbe vefsl," raid Com' modore Montgomery, "it will be found that it was stove in by a torpedo, ex ploded under tbe bow with a diabolical intent. To be sure an accident may oc cur on shipboard a magaxine or boilei may explode. But consider all the cir cumstances and yon will not entertain tbe theory of accident. In tbe histon of our tavy there never ha been suet an accident, Why should the first on occur in so perfectly equipped a vessel a the Maine, and under 10 capable l commanding officer as Sigsbee. Wh) should it occur in Havana harbor, whers the vessel was at the mercy of the enemj capable of treachery, a we know tbi Spaniard ia, and ha been long a hehat figured in history? Why shou d it fol low so cloely the recent exposure of tb Spanish minister to the United Statei a a despicable trickst r who wore ai affable demeanor in Washington whili giving vent to his hatred of our chief ei' ecutive and our people in private letti ri to compatriots? The combiiaion ol la ta is too strong to leave a doubt. 1 miss my guess if retribution will not hi swift." Commodore Montgomery is familial with Havana harbor. It would be com' paratively easy, be says, with amal boats or otherwise, to set a torpedj destroy the American vessel. This ii liii theory of how the Maine wai wrecked. DIVISION OF OPINION. Washington, Feb. 17. At this mo ment the naval officers cannot agree on any theory to account (or the destruc tion of the Maine. Perhap a majority, are inclined to believe that the explos ion was purely accidental: another con siderable number feel that a torpedc waa exploded under tbe vessel, and a third theory is that tome infernal ma chine was smuggled aboard the (hip and set off. In the present lack of knowl edge, it is ttiought to ba impossible to say to which theory the balance of prob ability inclines. An examination by s diver of the hull of the Maine would demonstrate instantly whether or not a torpedo had been need for in case it bad the plates of the bull would surely b driven in. Havana, Feb. 17. Out of 354, the total number of the crew of the Maine, ninety-six were saved. At half an hour after midnight thirty six of the crew of the Maine had been carried to the military hospital of Ban Ambroslo. They were all most seriously wounded. Five other of tbe crew wart taken to the Alfonso XIII. hospital. On board the Spanish cruder Alfonsc XIII. twenty-six were treated and sue cored. George Cowler, an accountant of th Ma idc, is among those seriously in jured. At the time of tbe disaster tbe Maim was at anchor about 500 yards from th araenal and some 200 yards from th floating dock, .The first explosion is said to have beer caused by over 600 pound of gun cot ton and the subsequent explosion it al leged to have been caused by shell ami cartridges. , , ....

I Wassjuoton, Feb. 12. Fuiauaat to instruction from the acting secretary of war special supplementary report ba been prepared by E. Hasard W eOs, whs acting a agent (r tbe war department in bringing attention to Captain Kay' di patches. Mr. Wells has been in Alaska three tia.es, ha trrUrad tht interior and haa a practical knowledge of the country that ia Inhabited by few person. He says, among other things: "There art, undoubtedly large deposit of gold in Alaska, rivalling those of the Biitish "northwest terrritory. I noticed excellent mineral indications npon tbe Tanana river and in other localities in 18W. I discovered a true fissure vein of quarts eight feet in diameter with well defined casing rock upon tbe upper Ta nana. Thii quarts evidently contained metal. Specimens which I secured to take out to San Francisco for assay were subsequently lost in a river catastrophe. Numerous creeks entering the upper Tanana revealed colors of gold in the sands. ''All of the gold-bearing streams of tlaeka so far discovered, vis: Birch creek, Miller creek. Forty Mile creek, sixty Mile crek an 1 Seventy Mile cieek, head in the vi -inity of tbe Ta iana river and flow away to the north east. On the southwestern side and eading near the Tanana are the noted Copper and Susbitna rivers, the latter oeing the gold btaring stream which recently came into promience through Hie placer discoveries on Cook's Inlet. The Copper river is popularly suppo-ed to be located in the heart of a mineral belt. It is a reasonable deduction that if all the streams flowing away from the Tanana to the northeast and southwest bear gold, that the lanana itself must ut through a gold-bearing country. Tuis opinion is shared by nearly all of the old time miners now located in Daw son. Recently excellent prospects were discovered upon an Rmeiican creek, a tributary of the Yukon in Alaska, just before Forty Mile creek. Miller creek, Birch creek and other streams wi'hin the boundaries of Alaska in the Yukon valley still offer inducement to placer miner. I do not believe that any bet ter mining region will be discovered in Alaska than will be found in the Great Tanana valley." Working Among the Raima. Pnr.BUua, Feb., 12. The work ol searching for bodies in the ruins of Wednesday night's fire was continued through last nigh by 200 men, but no more bodies were iound. The debris ia -till piled ten feet high, however, and, as more than a (core Of people are (till missing, the work will be continued with out cessation until it is positively known that no more dead are buried beneath ih debris. That more people were killed Chief Humphreys of the fire de partment says there can be no doubt. He saw the walls go down in the midst ol a great maas of humanity huddled to gether in a hiii ill space, and, while he did not care to estimate the number of peo.le killed, lie says it will be largely in excees of any estimate yet made. The search for the bodies is attended by great danger, not only from weakened walls, but Irom 125 lank of anlydrade known to be m tbe smouldering ruins. Anlvdrade is ammonia in its most pow rful rfUte and its ignition would result in an explosion which would cause in calcuabie disaster. The firemen are keeping a number of streams constantly playing nn this part of tbe building. It is thought that precautionary methods will avert further disaster. .Mr. McFadden, and her family of iifht children, who were believed to ' f. been buried under the wall, are They ware found living a short i.c? Iioui the scene of disaster, hav ny i,.'-ved from Mulberry avenue only a Itw-!:i;i before. Michael O'Hearn of Oil Cii and James Beverly of Grafton, who weie among the missing, have also turned up. O'Uearn was viaiting friends in Allegheny and Beverly was taken uddenly ill and is in Mercy hospital. As a result of the catastrophe a move ment to prevent the storage of bonded llqnor or amonia within the corporate limits of the oity haa been commenced. Safety Director J. O. Brown baa prom ised the people to see to it that Uie rity councils will have a chance to pass on an intended piece of leglulation to this effect at thi next meeting held at Mu nicipal hall.

Tbe formal betrothal m rely await the signature to certain deed of family settlement of Dowager Queen Oapiolani. Princess Kaiulani is tbe daughter of ex- Gov. Archibald Scott Cleghorn and the late Princess Miriam Jikelike, and un der the monarchical regime would have succeeded Queen Liliuokalani to the throne of Hawaii.

Washington, Feb. 14. Tbe boose will on Wednesday enter into tbe con- ' sideration of the bankruptcy bill, which tbe majority of the judiciary committee ha reported, as a substitute for the Nelson bill pasted by the senate at the extra session last summer. Under th order tbe bill is to be debated on Wed nesday, Thursday and Saturday of this week and voted upon Monday of ne-' . week at 4 o'clock. Th substitute, which the majority contend i tbe old Torrey bill, including botb the volun tary and involuntary features, will be opposed by the united democratic and populist opposition, but if there is no appreciable defection from the ranks of tbe majority tbe measure will pats. The democrat and populists are botb favorable to the passage of a voluntary bankruptcy bill, but have vigorously opposed the Torrey and other bills in cluding an involuntary feature, claim ing that its purpose is to create a law for the collection of debts. , Today is District of Colombia day, Tuesday, probably, will be devoted to the consideration of such business as is reported from the committees, and a call of committees on Friday, which was excluded from the order providing for the consideration of the bankruptcy bill, will under the rule, be devoted to private bills. The Hawaiian treaty will receive the greater share of tbe senate's attention during tbe coming week. The friends of the treaty have succeeded in securing quite general assent from senators in charge of other measure that th treaty shall be given practical right ol way until tbe senators wbo want to speak upon it can be heard and until a vote can be secured which practically will decide its fate. . .. Tiife Cu.'W.t c&sa has right of way, but the probabilities are that an ar rangement will be made early in the week whereby a time will be fixed for voting on tbe Corbett ease, and that then tbe consideration of the treaty will be allowed to proceed without ma terial interruptions. It now looks a if the fortifications appropriation bill would not be considered this week. Heady for War. Vienna, Feb. 14. The impending visit of Prince Ferdinal to St. Petersburg, tbe announcement that tbe sultan has ordered his minister of war to immedi ately get eighty regiments for service in Rounielia, the warlike preparations in Bulgaria, Russia's threat to occupy Ar menia under the pretext of putting a stop to tbe acts of brigandage committed on Muscovite territory by Ottoman ir regular cavalry, wbo crossed tbe frontier for that purpose, the menacing attitude of tbe czar's ambassador at Constantin ople, in connection with his demands for the immediate payment of the $160, 000,000 war indemnity due by the Porte to Russia since 1877, and finally the re markable utterancee of Emperor Will iam in representing the Grand Duk Constantine of Russia to the German reniment at Spandau, of which he bad made him honorary colonel, all tend to confirm the impression that a conflict is imminent in the east of Europe. This is tbi) state of sentiment in official and political circles here, an the same ideas prevail at Berlin, where the chilling and slighting manner in which tbe Grand Duke Constantine responded to th Kaiser's postprandial reference to th possibility of a comradeship in arm be tween Russia and Germany has excited hostile comment. The Grand Duke Constantine is the member of the reign ing bouse of Russia wbo enjoys to the greatest degree the confidence and inti macy of the czar. He is exceedingly ac complished, and very liberal in his ideaa He has published a popular volumne of patriotic and military poems, and is president of the imperial academy of science t St. Petersburg. His cold and rcpellant attitude toward tbe Kaiser, in view of his being the cxar's most trust ed adviser, is extremely significant. Investlf atlng the Scale. Bkbun, Feb. 14. The government ex pert investigation to ascertain whether the San Joae scale may exist in dried trait, continues. The expert reports to tbe United States embassy today that out of 4,000 packages of fruit which ar rived at Hamburg this week two small lots, shipped from infected California districts, were stopped. No northern fruit has so far been found infected. Th lots stopped during the last few days were Sonoma apples. During the com ing week 000 packages are expected. Afterward there will be a few straggling lots. The government testa are quito fair. Samples are only taken for th purpose of examination, though th ex amination take a long time. flea.- eoth-Tnoker Acooriled a Hearts , Co-ope ration. PirraatJao, Pa., Feb. 14. Gen.

Tbe cabinet met at 6 o'ciock last evening and discussed the preaant state oi the war in Oob and tbe De Lome matter at great length It was dt-cided to publish a decree ac cepting the resignation of Senor Dupuy de Lome as minister at Washington and appointing Senor Louis Polo Bemabe aa his successor. . . , A decree will also be issued convening he chamber before the end of tbi month, so aa to enable the election of the new cortea to occur on March 90. 1 Senor Gulion, tbe minister of foreign affairs, informed the cabinet that United States Minister Woodford had banded him a note referring to Seuor Dupny d Lome's letter and asking aa to tbe meaning of several paragraph in it. BIT1CKNCX MAINTAINED. Washington, Feb 15. The officials of the state department still maintain their reticence as to the contents of the cablegram from Minister Woodford re ceived late Saturday night. II may be raid that all statements so far made aa to the nature of this dispatch are specu lative. The message was not decip hered until well along in tbe afternoon yesterday, and then it passed into tbe hands of Assistant Secretary Day and tbe president, in turn, wbo have been the only persons in Washington, save the employee wbo unrav. lied tbe cipher to see the dispatch up to this time. Mo answer has been made as yet to Mr. Woodford's message, and it is by no means certain that an answer ill be secured. Senor Du Boso, the Spanish charge d'affaira, was one of the early eallei. at the atate department, and this natur-i ally led to tbe rumor that ids viait was in connection with the De Lome inci dent. It i stated positively, however, that the incident was not referred to, but that the call had to do with other pending Spanish affairs. Everything relating to the De Lome letter thus fat has taken place at Madrid through Minister Woodford. In some well-informed quarters it was believed that any formal disavowal by Spain would be deferred until a new m n eter was commissioned, one of hi first dnties being to make proper amends and se establish cordial relations on all pend ing questions. Calderon Carisle, counsel for th Spanish legation, waa another caller at the state dep.rtment today. Senor Dupuy de Lome has about completed hi arrangements for leaving tbe United States. His present plans are to leave Washington tomorrow night, sailing from New York Wednesday on the Eng lish liner which goes to Liverpool on that day. Senor Louis Polo Bernabe is a son oi Vice Admiral Polo, who formerly repre sented Spain in this country. Senor Ber nabe is now engagid in a special depart ment of the foreign ministry at Madrid, dealing with commercial matters and c n u a es. No move toward the prosecntion eon netted with the aking of the De Lome letter has been mide or is at present ia ontemp iitioa. Itis sail that if the loss bad occurred while tbe letter was in th United States mads then the usual prosecution by the postal anrhorities might occur, but in the present case there is no trace as to tbe paint where the letter was abstracted and such evi dence a is at band goea to show thai tbe letter waa taken after it left the United States mails and was in th bands of the Spanish authorities. Atthe Spanish legation Senor dn Boise bad nothing to say of tbe recent inci dent and had turned his attention to tbe regular affairi of the legation. He was not disturbed by tbe reports that a fili bustering expedition had slipped away last night, as he had good reason to be lieve that the expedition had not suc ceeded in getting away, and also that General Sangollly was not connected with it as had been teported. aareb J Keif us. Naw Yobk, Feb. 15. Dispatches from the Herald correspondent in Guatemala state that anarchy reigns throughout the country. This ia the direct result of the assassination of President Bar rios and the plotting of leaders to get into power in the republic.

In the central criminal court yesterday Lord William Neville, fourth son of the marquis ol Abergavenny, . was placed on trial, charged with fraud in connection with the suitof Sam Lewis, tbe money lender, against Lieutenant Spencer Clay t recover 11,123 pounds due on promissory notes cashed by Lord Neville. and pleaded guilty of forgery. He was sea- ' tenced to five years penal servitude. 1T celebrated case has ever before brought such a fashionable crowd to the Old Bailev.

'Lady Nevill was present Tbe prisoner was evidently Ui at ease, but be answered to the indict ment in cleai tones. After the flutter caused by bis pleading guilty of fraud bad subsided the prisoner wa allowed to take a seat in the dock, as h is recovering from a serious illness. Prose cutor Matthews narrated the circum-t-tanoes of the fraud, as already knowa, and at the conclusion of his remarks he intimated that he would accept tbe prisoner's pleas as satisfy inn. the require ment of justice. Mr. Lawson Waler pointed out that Lord Neville bad' voluntarily come forward to face tbe consequence of his deception and had fully confessed. T ie prisoner's counsel added he was in great financial difficul ties and bad not realixed that be waa committing a breach of the criminal law. The prisoner, Mr. Walton further said, never intended that Lieutenant, Clay should suffer. He believed the. securities would remain in tbe bands of Mr. Sam Lewis until he secured money elsewhere.
