Now for ln«cNli(Mlion> WASHINGTON. Feb. 21—The naval court of ln<|ulry appointed to !nvt tlgate the Maine disaster will be gins Its work at Havana today. This news came to the navy department from Admiral Slcard at Key West. He simply telegraphed: "The court of Ineulry calls for Havana 20th by lighthouse steamer Mangrove. Marlx arrived today." This prompt action is probably due to the express direction from Secre lary I<ong sent yesterday to have the Investigation begun at the earliest possible moment. The telegram was dated yesterday and said the hoard would have arrlrved before nightfall and would ready to begins Its work tomorrow morning. lly an error, Incident to the baste j with which the orders were gotten, the first accounts placed Lieutenant Commander Seaton Schroeder on the board as the third member, while us a matter of fact Lieutenant Com mander rmiw, <ho executive nfflrer of the flagship New York holds that place. The board would have un- : doubtedly have started previously but for the necessity of awaiting the ar rival at Key West from Washington of Lieutenant Commander Marlx. a naval officer well skilled In the Intri cacies of marine law who Is to be ' Judge advocate of tile board. Captain Slgsbee was heard from late last night, but the telegram was not delivered at the navy department un til lb s morning. His message goes to confirm the press dispatches of the events yesterday in Havana harbor, so far as the relate to the exploration of the wreck It reads as follows: HAVANA—Only most experienced wrecking divers can do effective work on the Maine In the upper works I can use service divers. Did some work to day with little success. Will ; do better tomorrow. Farm or me Maine, especially the superstructure, and connections, aie one confused i mass of metal.” The statement referring to exn*>ri enced divers Is explained at the Navy department as no reflection upon the men now engaged In the work, they being enlisted men belonging to the navy. It Is the practice on board men of war to assign a few men, always volunteers on account of the hazard ous nature of the work, to duty as div ers In connection with their regular work. The scope of their work Is the exn’oratlon of the ship's bottom gen erally, the disentanglement of cables from the propeller shafts, or search for a lost torpedo or anchor. Such work rarely carries them deeper than twenty-five feet Into the water, and It Is said for operations In deeper wat- ; er, such as would he Involved in ex amination of the bottom, they are not fitted. They am lacking in that k'"d \ of skill to erahle a diver to grope hit way eafelv through the internal parts of a mighty ship like the Maine, torn and dismembered si it is, and this work is highly dangerous. Creeping through narrow iron bound passages and groping for the doors of the numerous wntP"-tt*»-M bulkheads which divide the hull int-j rnanv compartments, on slimv floors ana In perfect darkness, requires the hh't'rst export skill and that Is why fontoln Ci<ral««i u/l*h nnlv VHa Sililnr i divers at command, bad not been hide to do much so fir toward unraveling the mystery of the Maine's untimely end. It is to meet just this emer ppnrv that the Navv deoarlment is making every effort to hasten the be ginning of the work of recovery of j the goods, and perhaps the raising of | the hull, by professionals.

Feb. 21.—While the disaster to the Ma'ne has created a temper in the house In favor of lib eral appropriations for the navy, and while It Is undoubtedly true that the house, in Its present frame of mind, would not hesitate to vote for two new battleships, one to replace the Maine, the temper Is predicated upon the theory that the Maine was blown up by external agencies If the result of the official 'nqulry should develop the fact beyond peradventure that the ship's magazine exploded from Are or other cause within the ship. It is be lieved a sentiment In congress will be created against the expenditure of millions In the construction of war ships that may blow up at any time. It seems Ifkely (hat a congressional Investigation will follow a report front the Itoard of Inquiry attributing the loss of the Maine to an explosion of Its magazine. No resolution for this pur pose has yet been Introduced Into the house however A prominent member >f the house naval committee sabl he he was absolutely amazed when he learned that the Maine's coal hunk ers abutted the magazine with only a thin partition between. "When 1 learned of the Are In the •oal hunkers of the Cincinnati which harred the boxes In which the shells In her magazines were stored,” said he. "I did not cons'der It my duty to sttempt to Initiate congressional ac tion to avert this danger In con struction. 1 assumed, of course, that It was the duty of the navy depart ment officials to effect such changes is would remove that danger. Now 1 find that nothing was none to correct I he defect on the Cincinnati or any >ther ship—that we will undoubtedly iscertalu how many of our war ships ire subject to this danger, but I do not know whether it is advisable to liave a congressional inquiry." NOT FROM TORPEDO. Opinion of Prof Alger of I lie Orilnsnre Hu man. WASHINGTON, F< b. 21—The onin on of one of the leading experts in the isn oif hig'.i explosives, Prof. Alger of he ordnance bureau, as to the cause it the explosion. Is as follows: "As to thp question of the cause of ho Maine's explosion we know that to torpedo, such as Is known in war 'arc, can ol ltee.t cause an ' f the character of that on board the Maine. We know of no instances where the explosion of a torn'do or nine tinder a chin’s bottom has ex ploded the magazine within. It has iimnly torn a grrat hole In the side r bottom through which water ‘ti ered «rd In consequence of which ho ship sank. Mae-zins explosions n the corttary produce effects ex letly timillar to the effects of Ihe ex plosion on board the Maine. “When it comes to c"f*k'nir the cau-e if the exp lesion of the Maine's mag izlrta, we should naturally look not ’or improbable or unusual causes, but those against which we have hail to tntard In the rust. The most common if these Is throueh fire in the hunk ers. Many of our shins have bean in dancer at various times from this rause, and not long ago a Are in the ninolnnatl h hunkers aetually set Are to fittings, wooden boxes, etc., within ihe magazine, and had It not been dls r' vi red at the time it was it would drubttrrs hum reunited in a catastro phe on hnar-t thnt ship similar to the inc on the Maine. "1 shall again eaiph-ahe the fact that no icncdo exploded without a shin has never produced, or according to our knowledge, can produce an ex plosion of a magazine within.” Daughters of the Revolution. WASH1NGON, Feb. 21.—This week will bring to Washington more d stin gulshed women than have been te n in this city for some timn.their presence beirg due to the an:.ual meeting of the Society of the Daughters of the Revo lution. and the next president general of this society may lie Mrs. Daniel Manning of Albany, N.

Maine Matter In the Senate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Soon after the senate opened Mr. Hale (Me.) ob tained the floor and Introduced the following joint resolution: That the secretary of the navy he, and he Is hereby authorized, to engage the services of a wrecking company, or companies, having proper facilities for the prompt and efficient perform ance of sub-marine work for the pur pose of recovering the remains of the officers and men lost on the I'nlted States steamer Maine and of saving the vessel, or such parts thereof, and no much of her store*, guns, material, equipment, fittings and appurtenances as may bo practicable: and for Ibis pur|K>oe the sum of $200,000, or so much thereof ns may lie necessary, Is hereby appropriated and made Immed iately available. The resolution was prepared at the navy department, and Introduced at (he request of Secretary !/>ng. who. in forwarding it to Mr. Hale, also sent a letter explaining Its purpose. He says In this letter: It, Is deemed proper end Important that steps should he taken Immedi ately to recover the remains of the of ficers and men lost on the occasion of the most deplorable catastrophe: to raise the ve.’sel, or to recover such parts of her armanent and equipment as mav l>e practicable. To this the secretary adds: The meager Information recelvjl respecting the nature and the extent of the injury sustained by the hull of the Maine renders It difficult to deter mine at this time whether (here Is reason to hope that the vessel herself mav lie raised: Imt It seems probable that ns she lies within the protection of a harltor and is not wholly sub merged that much valuable property may be recovered If the neco- iry ac tion is taken without delay. The ves sel. with her stores, guns, material, equipment, fittings and appurtenances, erst approximately, $5,000,000. As an Illustration of the single Items which may have escaped serious Injury. It mav be slid that the ten-inch guns, of which the Maine carried four, were worth, with their mounts. $13,500 each. Aside from the melancholy duty rest ing upon the government to recover and to bring to this country for burial. If this may lie done, the liod'es of the officers and men who lost their lives in this disaster, It Is believed that much valuable property may ye.f lx> saved from the vessel. In any event It Is of the utmost importance that whatever is to he done in this matter should be entered upon without de lay. The sinking of the Maine wilt be made the subject of immediate and ex haustive inouirv and congress will be fullv advised of the result of such In vestigation. Mr. I-ong stated that the department Is nt this time unable to estimate the tyvessary expense' wbh any degree of accuracy, but lie savs h? has con ferred with the bureau of construction and repair and that In case of the ap propriation reonested, only so much of It ns may be found necessary will be expended in the work. The secretary encloses a (aide show ing tiie cost of a number of Items of the ordnance outfit of the vessel, all aggregating $502,152. The appropriation resolution was passed without, division. Mr. Mason has oTercl rn amend ment 10 the Allen resolution for an investigation of the Maluj-t disaster providing for a special committee to make the investigation. Mr. Hate asked that the matter tie not. pushed. Mr. Mason In reptv said that It was evident that the facts in regard to Cuba, were being concealed from the people < f the couutrv ami from <-on ritsb. Mr. Mason sahl the policy of the government was delay, and noth in*: was dene to stop the murder of poonle In Cuba. The He T ome letter ha.l not stopped the murders. The Maine disaster had not stunned them, Tt was time for the seriate to act. Mr. Mason snid he did not want the facts reearding the Maine locked tin in the executive Mr Mason said we have waited while the diplomats have de ceived us.

President McKinley and As sistant Secretary Hay, Mr. Thompson says, have shown much Interest In the matter, which has been brought of ficially to the attention of congress through resolutions offered In houses. i , > > A resolution by Senator Thurston of Nebraska makes provision for a com mission to supervise the collection of a fund among all the schools of the (Tilted Staics for the purpose of erect ing a. monument to (!cn.
